A pretty Nigerian entrepreneur, Ogochukwu Maduako who has refused
to wait for government work has taken to social media to count her gains

The graduate of Abia State University and egg recycler shared her
story on social media how things have progressed for her ever since she
took the bold step.

Farmer and a recycler. I recycle eggshells which is (poultry by product)
into Bio material called CALCIUM. I am a graduate of Abia State
University Uturu, where I obtained Bachelor of Science (B.SC) in
Agricultural Economics & Extension and currently am closing out on
my Masters in International Economics & Finance at the department of
Agriculture in Rivers State University.
Eggshells are gotten from the consumption of poultry by-product called EGG.
Eggshells are great source of calcium, when recycled into
powdered form can be used as a planting materials as a natural
fertilizer for the soil, it is a good calcium supplement for snail and
also poultry layers for good formation of their shells.
It is essential
for the strawberry, bell pepper, watermelon etc farmers. Interestingly,
it is consumed by Humans as well.Practicing Agriculture as a female is
fun. it stands me out where ever i go. it gives me the edge to be known
and noticed most especially the fact that i recycle what people see as
waste.
The journey so far has been quite interesting. As we all know
destiny comes in pieces. So we are trying to bring all of its pieces
together.Major challenges; It’s really not easy trying to sell a new
idea to the market that are used to an old existing idea. You need a
whole lot of conviction but most of all you have to be very grounded
with the knowledge of what you are trying to sell.
Advice to youths; if what you want doesn’t exist, create it. In
2-3 years, I see @ifarm go global because recycling of eggshells is not
just a challenge we face here in Nigeria but rather it is a challenge
faced by other countries on its disposal technique."
