The dairy game 8/2/26: Africa Agro Real estate summit 2026; When Agriculture meets Real esate.

What a perfect day for a blend of two beautiful pets of our existence as humans. What else but Agriculture and Real Estate. They seem like two beautiful extremes that may never meet but yes they finally did and today imma tell you all about it.

With tiring eyes that didn’t want to wake up, I looked at my time on my phone and it was already past 9am. I checked my email quickly for the long awaited invite to our African Agro Real estate development summit holding this day and the invite wasn’t sent.

Prior to this morning, I had already registered for this event and I was supposed to get an invite but it means the organizers didn’t have me in mind. Well, maybe not just me but some other realtors complained of getting no invite to the event. Hmmm, what do I do now? I had already reached out to our admin and she asked me to submit my name and email address which I did. I was expecting to wake up to an invite but alas.

Well, she should be ready for my disturbance I guess even though a part is f me was kinda looking for an excuse not to attend. Hello, my friend reached out to me. Are you getting ready for the event? she asked. How would I get ready when I have no invite, the lazy side of me that didn’t want to go for the meeting answered.

Well, you need this exposure, the other side of me that wants to get its butt off the bed all week answered. You’ve really been lying down all week. You need this exposure came the reiteration. Yea, I know went on the dialogue within. Well you better reachout to the admin again. My other minds said. Yea, I guess.

With tiring hand, I texted on WhatsApp. Good morning ma. I am yet to get my invite. I’ve checked my mail including the spam folder and nothing. Well, she sent me an invite magically. The owner isn’t going to be available she said. You can use this. I was grateful. I thanked her and then the next trouble was what to wear.

My friend came over and we had time discussing whether the place was going to be cold or not. I am not a fan of cold environments so I wasn’t ready to wear something that would make me get cold easily. I wanted to wear a lace gown but had to opt for a two piece shirt and trouser incase the place was old. Well, I was wrong.

Meanwhile, my friend wasn’t going with me for the event. I needed to talk to other of our friend to get the details of how to find my way. Somehow, Ai just had this cold feet. Well, I have been indoors for over a week, mourning the loss of my relationship. How long would I mourn? I just needed a breath of fresh air, no matter how little and this seems to fit best, at least for now.

With weary feet and tired strides, I had to go find something to eat as my stomach was growling and in need of some sympathy companion and I wasn’t about to leave the house hungry. Who knows when they will plan to feed us or would they prepare to let us go hungry. Well, I made small breakfast of vegetable soup and Eba. It was light but hearty.

I proceeded to brush and get ready while my friend helped out with ironing my cloth. Isn’t she sweet. She comes in handy with helping me iron as that’s one of the chores I hate. Pardon me. It’s just not my thing. I don’t like to iron, neither do I like to wear rumpled clothes hence one could use a sweet friend.

Well, I got all dressed up and yea, I was looking all glammed up, well with no make up. Make up is not my thing but I sure do know how to dress well. Well, some thanks to my stylist who happens to be my sweet sister in-love. Yes. So with my matching handbag and shoes and my beautiful two piece, I stepped out into the road and Yea I took a public transport even though my friend felt I was looking all too glam not to take a bolt. Well, we gat to do what we gat to do right?

I arrived at my destination with all expectations and the meeting has began though. Two hours later than stipulated and well, yes, I came two hours later than the meeting and yet in time. Don’t be too hard on me, some persons came four hours later and even towards the end of the meeting. It was a beautiful meeting where Agriculture married Real estate.

We had all sorts of guests from far and near and dignitaries represented. It was no small meeting. The hall was jammed to the brim with round table setting. The minister of Agriculture for Lagos state and Ondo state were present amidst other important personalities. There were so many speeches on the importance of Agriculture in the economy and the sync with Real estate.

There was so much to learn from the different panels that had discussions from different parastatals and they were educating us on how to really benefit from the government when it comes to agriculture and how to spot and avoid scam deals with Agriculture and Real estate investment.

Well, it was back to back education and inbetween all these learning, we weren’t left on empty stomach. There was cocktails to drink which ofcourse I missed because I came late. Well, I met the small chops and was also given some water and soft drink which I turned down. I am working on cutting down my soda intake. I’d rather do water.

After the small chops, came food. Well, real estate needs real food. I hat fried rice , jollof rice which was really red and Smokey. I think I saw what it meant to have red Smokey jollof rice. Woow. And there was fish and chicken and salad. Perfect combo for the perfect lady. I was grinning from ear to ear on the beautiful plate of food.

Well, because I ate before coming out that morning and ahead also eaten small chops, I kinda struggled to finish the food which I devoured slowly. After all slow and steady wins the race they say. Yea, I won satisfactorily. Well, who wouldn’t. They. Came the time for the awards given to the different speakers and dignitaries.

Well, our CEO also received an award and then it was time for thanksgiving. Yes, it was a two in one banger of the year. We had time to dance and celebrate with friends and colleagues. Well, Ai am not much of a dancer anymore. Guess, I need to upgrade my dance steps to something more mordern. I danced the much I could, no pressure.

Well, what’s a beautiful meeting where I am all glammed up if there are no pictures for sweet memories. Yea, my colleague was there to take me some pictures. What are friends for if they can’t some in as handy photographers sometimes. Well, she Haley did take the pictures. Some fine, some not. Well, I’d o my giggles admiring God’s creation and yeah, that’s me.

Then I needed to hand over to start going. Well, the other colleagues of mine were still dancing as the second part of the occasion was just starting but I was ready to go. Favouredly for me, I joined the cab hired by one of my senior colleagues to go home and they dropped me very close to the house. I was so greatly gor a good day well spent.

I got home, changed my clothes, bathed and fell into bed. I was already tired and I had three meetings lined up that same night. I attended the one by 8pm and 9pm. I had another by 10pm but how I forgot about it was so magical. I fell asleep and woke up by 4am to remember that I was supposed to hold a meeting by 10pm the previous day. Well, do t blame me too much,
It was really a busy day but one that’s definitely worth it.

Thanks for being a part of my diary game, hope you liked it.
