i live close to the farm, i love what you did with the place
Thanks Mohammed, I appreciate your feedback 😊
Excellent as always sirs❤. Exellent intro and outro sir dominic. Always a pleasure to gain insight from the oyibo man with a Nigerian blood sir willy
Thanks for your comment 😃
Thanks for the expert information. How do I get a copy of your book African catfish handbook.
Aquaponics does not use soil. He is sticking flowerpots in water that have fish swimming around. Not aquaponics at all!
Thank you for your comment! You’re absolutely right that traditional aquaponics typically involves growing plants without soil in a recirculating water system with fish. What we’re showcasing in this video is indeed a variation on that theme. While it may not fit the strictest definition of aquaponics, it’s a locally designed approach where rice is grown on a floating system fed by fish waste directly in the pond. This method is highly efficient and integrates the principles of both aquaponics and polyculture. In fact, rice-fish farming is recognized as a form of polyculture rather than aquaponics, but it still embodies the spirit of sustainable, integrated farming systems. I appreciate your insights and hope this clarifies the technique we’re exploring!
Legend👏👏👏
Thanks Johnson
good one
Thanks
Nigeria is a gem to be “unveiled” if you put away the unfounded fear on account of the negatives put out there by the mainstream international media and some brainwashed Nigerians, who rarely know their own country
Great Aquaponic revolution my erudite Chief Willy. You are an eye opener to blue revolution frenzy in Nigeria/Africa👍🏿

Glad to hear that
Thank you our Ugandan brother Willy Fleuren.
Did you hear himself he was praying for Nigeria? Or for the Holy spirit to tell him? We are just too foolish in Nigeria to utilize our Hod given talent. We keep asking God to do what he has already done.
Instead of Abokis to focus and tap into the wealth in their environment, they have all abandoned it and have fized their eyes all on the oil from the Niger delta. "There was a country".
Leuk filmpje rotzak!! 👍🏻🙏🏻
Sir willy the way you said that ha, one would think you are an ijebu man😂. Humor, scenery, educational, insight into life. This video had it all. God bless you guys ❤
Nigerian need to sort out the security issues before thinking of tourist visiting. Sleeping with one eye open bcos you don't know if you will be kidnapped 😢
Extremely beautiful
Glad you think so!
Cool
Wonderful video
Nice video, very educative
It shouldn't take a white man to see how blessed Nigeria is, no offence to decent white people who love Nigeria and Africa. We should all see what we can do to make our country better with all the natural and human resources God has blessed us with.
We have it all but yet we are suffering and smiling
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
How is the security of this place
It is well secured! By the military
God bless Afrika and Nigeria
Good view
Nature is beautiful
Indeed! Thanks for your feedback
