Singer Joeboy Urges young People to take up Agriculture
Nigerian Afro-pop and contemporary R&B singer and songwriter, real name Joseph Akinwale, alias Joeboy, has urged young people in Uganda and Africa as a whole to take up agriculture seriously, as it not only brings money to their pockets but is the only way millions of people get food to feed on.
Speaking at the Media Challenge Initiative offices ahead of the Club Pilsner-sponsored Lavida Rave Summer event slated for Saturday, July 27, 2024, at Lugogo Hockey grounds, the Sip (Alcohol) hitmaker revealed that he is not only a young music legend but also a young farmer.
The Warner Music Africa-signed artist said the young people should look at practices like farming, but it’s fun doing it, and it goes as far as feeding millions of people across the globe.
“If I wasn’t a singer, then I would be traveling and farming. Farming can be boring to young people, but the truth is, it’s one of the best things to do ever! Even if you don’t earn a lot from it, the population still benefits out of it because of the food we are talking about here; everyone needs to eat to survive, so, basically, I love farming not only because I love seeing crops grow right from seedlings to mature plants and then eventually turn into food that feeds the population.”
The Young Legend Label boss also advised young people to go for their dreams no matter how big or far they have to go to achieve them as long as they are on the right track. Joeboy, who was formerly signed by Mr. Eazi under emPawa Africa, where he was discovered in 2017, through the emPawa Africa talent incubation program, also revealed how Uganda has shaped his musical career.
