"Obi, a small‑scale farmer in the Niger Delta, has watched the rains become erratic over the past decade. He recalls the days when the river rose predictably, allowing him to plant his yam seedlings in early June. Recently, he tried a new irrigation pump bought on credit, but the pump broke after three months due to the salty water. Obi told his neighbour, 'We can borrow gadgets, but the land still decides.' He now prefers to combine the pump with his age‑old rain‑catching barrels, hoping the mix will safeguard his crops."
