Nigerian gospel singer, Lara George, begins farming due to recession in the country. Feeling fulfilled, she posted a photo of her ready to be harvested tomatoes.



Multi-award winning Nigerian gospel singer, Lara George, has taken to her Instagram page to reveal to her thousands of followers that now lives above the present economic situation of the country as she flaunts new career in farming.

The talented singer and songwriter, who disclosed that she had set up a garden when tomatoes were very expensive and scarce, said she is set to harvest fresh tomatoes from her garden.

The excited farmer and mother of two took to her social media to share with her fans about her new found love.



She wrote, "And in other news, these are beautiful tomatoes almost ready to be eaten fresh from my garden. Does everyone remember when tomatoes prices went crazy in Nigeria?

"Well DH had the brilliant idea of sprinkling some tomatoes seeds in the garden and in a few weeks later, voila #MadeInMyGarden#SayNoToRecession."

George began her music career at the University of Lagos, where she joined the campus fellowship choir. She was a member of the disbanded musical group Kush, which included TY Bello, Dapo Torimiro and Emem Ema.

In 2008, she won Voice of the Year at the Nigeria Music Awards. She emerged the winner of the Best African Female Gospel Artiste category at the 2011 African Gospel Music Awards.
