8. Why Is All This Important? I believe that this is important because this is how most people earn their money in Nigeria. If most of this things weren’t as important I believe that even more people in Nigeria would be facing hunger which is a big number already.

9. How Does This Relate To Me? This relates to me because this is how most of my family members earn their money in Mexico. Also because if my parents wouldn’t have came to the U.S. I think that I would be working in farms just like the Nigerian most Nigerian people. These jobs are really hard and I acknowledge all the people that work in farming.
