[Music] you know what being in bwana this is definitely my first ever real estate video I mean when you think of real estate you you imagine building houses for humans but guess what this guy is a genius he's actually building apartment Town Homes I mean luxury homes just for chickens to chill man wow my goodness see this is beautiful man this is the this is the home for the chickens yeah is I wanted to look good so that the people passing the road can see that this guy is serious what what happened for you to switch from being a teacher to a part well I think I'm one guy who looks at a niche in the market to say where what works what would work best you understand collect your ex you just come and pick the ex up yes we just come and load we just come and load people go into what they see being resilient working for a long period anytime that I feel so down to give up on what I do another Africans fills My Soul and Spirit with something new I mean I feel like it's about time for me to travel to every single country in Africa to celebrate African excellent listen DJ give me that song what AM Mr Ghana baby Africa to the [Music] world listen I am blown away because I found myself in bana and what I'm seeing is actually done by a young African can you guys believe it see I have hope in Africa now and I must agree with K Kuma that indeed my brother a black man is capable of managing his own Affairs how are you man good to see you man you're so welcome man cuz I'm a fan oh you're a fan a very big fan you see you you have to be a fan of watera to be able to do something like this because I believe that the stories that we tell across the continent inspires people like you no definitely definitely because a lot of us follow you and you know like uh as we were coming here I was telling people that I'm coming to see you they like hey so you know that guy you must be big no the guy bigger than me no way see I am here to celebrate you bro when I when we drove in I'm like is that owned by a white man because that's so huge you know white no no no no I'm still black you still black I'm still black a big round of applause man wow thanks man thanks a lot from you it means a lot it really means a lot bro the entire Africa is behind you and before I even start this video I want you to first of all like this video because what this guy has done I think the only way for us to appreciate and encourage him is to like this video and the next thing is share to a family member share to another African because we are on a journey to inspire more Africans to go out there and do stuff like this wow my brother wow who are you man [Music] uh my name is nay Cheta a citizen of bwana um I used to be a teacher but then I later quit because I had very big dreams I wanted to become a millionaire so that's how I ended up here in farming so after I quit I decided hey let me take my money invest it somewhere so I came up with this this is my dream I want to become a millionaire by end of this year we we'll make that dream a reality H how how you see I think we need to be intentional in making Africans millionaires how can we help your dream of becoming a millionaire by the end of this year well what happens is that uh I'm spending a lot on this Farm because um on a monthly basis I'm spending more than 40,000 here wow because uh when you look in front of my farm you can see that there's a lot of heavy construction taking place there um I'm trying to get married next year in this venue so I have to make sure that it looks theart invite me you will definitely here invite me this days I'll be going for too many weddings man and I'll come with my wife by the [Applause] way so so so let me know what is this place all about what are you doing here well what happens is that uh this we constructed uh yesterday we're doing this yesterday we are supposed to put the fencing all around we're going to be putting different exotic beds in these structures okay our Guinea Falls will be moving from that side we've got roughly around 400 Guinea Falls we need to pck them because they're going into the laying season so meaning that when they go into laying the Mal start fighting so therefore we have to divide them nicely here all over this place that side so by end of this week all these structures will be complete with fencing and everything that's what those guys over there are doing so so let me understand are you a ptry farmer what what do you do in general right my main focus is on poultry okay but while I'm doing poetry I don't want to put my eggs in one basket okay that is why this side I'm doing poetry but I'll explain to you the model that I'm using in terms of farming because there part of what I'm doing as as my own um aspect of poultry farming then that's what I do for others as well because these poultry units that you see this side yeah are Leist out all of them they are 40 they're all listed out by tenants which are different batana who do not have land water as well as resources so what we do is we accommodate different batswana who bring in their layers here to come and run the business we run it for them we've got employees here who run for them automated water as you can see we've got two B holes in this Farm which runs the whole facility so generally we take care of the project for them they simply come on weekends to come and do that cleaning for themselves collect the eggs and go and S [Music] how long have you been doing this well I started this project in 2021 but the model was different because uh when we started it it was a group of people sharing a single unit but then we figured that it would not work for us because there were too many group dynamics are you saying you failed we failed we definitely failed dismally so after we failed we took a break then we came up with a new model where everybody owns their own unit as you can see it's one one individual on Unit 10 just like that wow I I really want to go in there so that I can understand more of what is happening by all me I am super excited to be here man wow woo [Music] so these are the units these are the units see you're not just doing farming but actually doing real estate yeah cuz I'm building You're Building no definitely how many units do you have I've got 40 units which is 10 10 10 10 which is 40 in total and each unit got how many it's got uh a single tenant with a single cage so what we do is when we give them a unit we give it to them with a single cage but they allowed to bring in a second cage in order to expand wow so so each each cage got how many layers it keeps 96 layers so that's 96 * 2 maximum for them to be able to provide the market out there multiply that by 40 unit uh that's technically 40 4,000 yeah but if they multiply to two two cages that means we are going for 80 8,000 so so like each person owns a single unit sing unit and these people are people that could not afford a land land water because remember water not everybody has water for you to dig a b hole you are likely to hit a blank so I've got two B holes in this Farm which yield 6 cubic each so what we then decided was to share our water with others so what happens is once they come in they pay us our 900 Pooler and within that 900 coer they've got the cage they've got the water and they've got laborers who take care of the place as well as a security guard who works here at night so that you provide a labor tool labor tool as part of the 900 definitely that's that's affordable can I can I have one unit here definitely you have the last one I have the last one no no no no I have the I have the last one I I'll pay for it so that I'll have like some layers so very soon I'll be advertising my ex in this country man wow so wow like I'm super impressed man this is the first time I'm doing a video like this oh my goodness the oh wow look at the eggs man how do you how do you you pick it up yeah you just pick and we put them here can I can I pi x oh my goodness like I'm so excited to hey don't touch me no I'm just picking the X for you wow this is beautiful like when I quit YouTube I just want to stay in the farm wow because I feel like it excites me so much like you know I'm exhausted by seeing you I feel so happy man so you see those guys over there are some of the tenants they are probably here to collect eggs as well so they come and collect their eggs yes this is [Music] inessive I just want to know how do you feel being a tenant in here it's a great feeling actually cuz you can actually go to bed and have a good night's rest knowing that um you don't need to worry about um the person who looks after this you know cuz usually what happens is once you go off they follow you going to the drinking place and then when they know it's time for you to come back they come back just on time to meet you back at the so so knowing that there's somebody there constantly taking care of um the feeding making sure there's water um collecting the eggs packing it nicely for you it's it's such a oh yeah so you you don't even collect your ex you just come and pick the ex yes we just come and load we just come and load yeah everything would be just piled up for you and you come you load it and you go away just like that feeds you know they they feed them daily they collect the Eggs Daily yeah that's impressive so all we do is just the cleaning nothing else I mean you're a tenant so sometimes you have to clean your own house that that that's that's real estate right here yeah that's that's impressive very impressive so you're taking the extra City to sell it to sell yes and you make your profit so will you say it's worth it very much worth [Music] it you know I've done lot of videos and I've never seen this concept anywhere wow yeah and I want to know where did the idea came from well what happens is at the very beginning yeah I had a situation where I started off with my B ho now when I had water my grandmother gave me a few goats now with those goats I built a crawl for them I kept them here until one day A friend of mine comes here and says Hey listen since you have water can't I put a crawl next to yours and you supply me with water then I pay you rental now the amount of rental that he gave me was enough to pay H the employee for both of us so I realized oh so this works and mind you there were zero czy so meaning this guy my my employee was only feeding so I realized that okay fine I can go more crawls so I talked to more of my friends to say hey don't you want to crawl at my farm they're like no I'll get a crawl at your farm so I chared them a thousand a th000 a th a thousand until we had 10 craws and this guys I was like making 9 9,000 and paying the employee his th000 so I realized this thing can work how do I then modify it such that I can also do it for the chickens as well so that is how I spread to this F this is impressive but but but what really inspires you you are a teacher yeah and you decided to now become a ptry farm what what happened for you to switch from being a teacher to a port Farm well I think I'm one guy who look at a niche in the market to say where what works what would work best you understand because initially after I quit teaching uh I started video production from video production I became a DJ then from DJ I realized that hey here if anything happens to me or I grow old I won't be able to sustain so let me try to do something that is sustainable so one day I got a tender which was uh at over 2.4 million it was for Film Production for a certain company which was doing a program on HIV so once we done with the program I decided you know what I'll never get a job like this why not take my money and go and invest it on something that I can see so that's how I came I bought land here so that I can now see all my money where the money went so when I put my money here I realized that good now I'm definitely gone now you said you bought a land here how many acres of land do you have in here there's 12 heares 12 hectares of good land which I'm using so well and like I told you the back side which is this side I'm doing poultry heavy poultry uh then in the front now like I said I don't want to put my eggs in one basket okay I decided to put a lodging facility in the front area just after the parking the wedding venue where we will be dancing next year then we'll also put an executive camping site on the other side so I'll take you to that side so that you see the whole concept no we have to check it out definitely so this is our first entrance what is in here what do you intend to achieve in this area so what happens is with this entrance I wanted to wow my guests then when they walk in I need them to walk into a good parking good parking lot uh where now everything can take place now so what happens is uh this side we are going to have 10 units in here a lodging facility so that any of our tenants who wants to come and sleep in the in the in the farm during the weekend can come and Lodge here feeds our people get them directly from here our security guards are [Music] there I thought he was just building an apartment but come to think of it he's actually building a city all you need here is an industrial area where the chickens can be slaughtered yes or the cows can be slaughtered and guess what that's a city man now you're thinking like me because in the end I want my tenants to now come together and be able to create their own egg trees to be able to slaughter here to be able to do basically everything as well as creation of feeds that's where we are going I I think what we need right now is other people who will also come and be in the same 12 um is it 12 hectors yes community and be like you know what I want to build a maybe a processing plant here so that everything will be within the ecosystem exactly [Music] no I had you build everything in here yeah I the one who build everything that you see here every structure are you you you're a builder yeah I mean when he came up with this concept what was going through your mind uh he gave me his vision I sat down I think a week yeah I had to sit down and look on his vision and I had to bring it to life then we came back together sit down in the farm we looked around what can we do it was it's not only his project we in This Together wow yeah so we come up we come up with the vision now I'm trying to make it reality reality and I'm turning to reality as much as you can see that is going on here in farm around here yeah that's that's quite impressive man yeah wow so but you have to charge him more money man yeah he knows the one who scratching his pocket he's scratching his yeah yeah oh man so meaning something like this never existed in a country never we are the first ones to do this as Visionary right there yeah we the first used to do this in bana H that's amazing man it's a pleasure meeting you thank you thank you [Music] is this part also rented no that's mine um it's mine and that's why I'm constructing on the other side so that I can distribute these and go into full scale production now what happens is people here treat Guinea fou meat as an exotic type of delicacy so that's why we have to multiply this so that as soon as we relaunch the farm then we've got a lot of game meat that they'll be able to utilize from this side wow so which means guine FS are expensive in here then they're very expensive yeah they're more expensive than chickens bro if you go to Ghana they're more cheaper than chickens though tell me you're Jing I'm telling you man there's a place that I it's the northern part of the country bro like anytime I go there that's the only mean I don't even like the chickens and mind you not everybody is allowed to help them you need to have a license in order to have guinea Falls here because they're considered game you understand so we we have permits to be keeping them there it's a culture shock man in Ghana give flers everywhere they just everywhere yeah [Music] wow this looks like a sitting area definitely what is this place for well I started construction of this thing last week after I was told that there are schools that want to come here to educate facility at and uh encourage a lot of their students to go into agriculture so generally once they come in we needed them to have a sitting area where they can relax and maybe you know more like going into a tutorial you're once a teacher I was definitely a teacher and you taught you quitting teaching now I'm back to teaching again that's that's it that's what I wanted to let you know that once a teacher will always be a te teacher thank you [Music] you know I believe that you faced lot of challenges bringing this dream to reality what are some of the challenges that you faced well like I told you it's difficult for most batana or for most Africans to be able to pursue their dreams because people don't believe in things that are new it takes time for you to be able to convince people that a product can work which means that um you need people who can trust you who can can come on board to say we trust this model so you also need to be patient because if you're not patient you'll have one tenant for 2 to three months you have only one tenant now imagine if you then decide I'm giving up because it's not working so in our case you have one tenant you stick around you make this tenant happy tomorrow you have a second tenant you move on so people need to learn how to be resilient patient to be able to say hey I'm willing to wait they should be in that position to say we are willing to spend do you understand because you can't make money without putting money in there right now look at how long I've been pushing this project I wasn't making money from the beginning for over 6 years I haven't made money from this Farm you understand wow it's only now this year that I can tell you that I'm making very good money and that is why my progress is fast because now it's sustainable people go into what they see being resilient working for a long period when they see it working the first one would say ah we don't think it will work but with time they see that you resilient the other person will talk about your product ah it seems to be working let me go in that guy is making money now the biggest problem that I've discovered is once you have a house full like we have a house full then everybody starts swmming in but it's too late because we no longer have [Music] spaces wow how many tenants do you have right now we have 40 tenants and are you looking forward to expanding well we are forced to expand because it's growing very fast and what we are trying to do now is uh to try to educate as well as sell the idea to the government to say listen this works better than you giving a a youth money then he miss you know uses the money for something else you understand but you have a product like this you are able to supervise the money to say I give you 100,000 so therefore your project is being supervised you can't eat your chickens you can't eat the Feds etcc all you do is you are selling the Fe the the eggs and therefore we know that you're making a profit that's basically it that's how you supervise a project what is that one quote that keeps moving die rich or die [Music] trying bro I thought you just have only layers but looking around it seems you got every you know domestic animal in here man I want everything because I want my kid to be born in a rich family you understand where we have everything you understand so at the moment uh we've got pigs we've got goats we've got rabbits there we've got free rain chickens and we've got Ducks as well as the guinea Falls that we just checked on earlier so we are also going to Horticulture meaning that we'll be putting in a lot of vegetables would you say being a ptry farmer is worth it it's definitely worth it in my case it's worth it because I'm making a lot from this I'm really really making a lot but but the mindset that we have as Africans is like you know we need to go to school finish school go look for a job but look at what you're doing so in my case I live the part I talk about farming I dress farming I do farming you know I I I'm literally farmer even my Facebook profile is farming what do agriculture means to you well to me it's a battle between men and uh God because every single day every space that you don't cover clean up or utilize got takes over everything starts growing back and God is taking back his world so every time we are in a battle I'm trying to take a a portion but he's also fighting to take back that's the first time hearing something like that one one one thing that I I will just also ask so will you say this is profitable this is beyond profitable if you are selling if right now I could tell you how much we produce in terms of the chickens cuz when the eggs leave this place and they go to my place for incubation the chicks we don't even allow them to grow as their chicks on the first week we produce roughly around more than 100 chicks per week and by Weekend all the chicks are gone so meaning that you're making a lot on a single weekend so you also have an incubator we have incubators yes so like 100 100 chicks more than 100 chicks every week every week yeah how much is a one chick a single chick is 50 Paula so at 100 you probably making 5,000 per per weekend multiply that by four times in a week that's 20,000 multiply that in a month uh that was 20,000 for the month so in a year you got multiplied by 12 no like that's like 4 times one a week right yeah okay so 20,000 a month yeah a month so 20,000 * 12 to the mat VOA that's being a farmer bro I don't know why you're not changing that perception that you have about agriculture listen I am here to tell the youth that it's about time forget about what we learned in the past it's about time for us to unlearn and relearn W bro if you had a chance to change one thing in Africa what will it be the mindset man you know like a lot of people don't believe that things can be done you know you'll have a situation whereby you know people are scared of being Innovative because of what other people will says so whenever people talk people stop in my case I started I failed like I told you how many times did you fail I failed more than three times and the last time when I failed I lost a lot of money wow now failure to me is about learning something new and it's about growing Beyond where you were and right now look at this this is like Clockworks it's it's an oil an oiled machine it's working so well for me and like you were say saying earlier to say this is the first time you see such a project we are open now to go to other countries to instill and install the same model so that people in other countries who don't have land who don't have water can also be able to benefit and go into agriculture listen I think we need to we need to do this so if wherever country you're from in Africa I'm just going to put his number right there call him and if you have a free land let him build something like this for you and guess what you can also be a real estate owner but in terms of a f voila thanks a lot my brother it's a pleasure meeting you and if you have a message for Africans watching across the globe what would that message be dream dream big we can become millionaires I'll Be A Millionaire by end of this year
