Thank you so much for watching🙏
God is above all
I don’t know why I’m so emotional watching this. Thanks so much Lynn for bringing us this incredible inspirational young man. As an African living here in the UK i’m just so humbled by his spirit. Would love to meet him one day. He has so much to offer to the UK and Kenyan. I agree East West, home is best. I hope he invests back home…I think farming is more profitable in Kenya. He mentioned the land but Kenya has furtile soil and great weather….rain… May God bless you and this young man. Proud African here. I’m jealous….that food looks amazing. Would love to visit his farm some day. No shame in hard work Amen 🙏 ❤❤
Flavian is living my absolute dream.
Lynn, two things Kenya can do is re-introduce agriculture studies from primary school to university. They also need to completely eradicate corruption & land grabbing.
in the UK every farmer has a livestock guardian dogs( LGDs), very well trained dogs that guard livestock.
The worst thing a farmer can worry about are foxes attacking flocks.
I have lived in the Kent countryside (Kent is the Garden of England)… Surrounded by farmers everywhere.. I have never heard of any farmer losing their flock to thieves. It’s normal in ushago areas here to leave your doors or cars open and no one steals from you.
In rare occasions, farmers may lose farm machinery to thieves but that’s targeted theft particularly for quad bikes..
😊😊😊
What an amazing conversation. In life hard work pays and this young man is so focused and I agree with you Lynn he doesn't need good luck, luck as we know runs out at some point, but his work ethics and focus will keep him going. It's also true that Africans need to change their attitude about work as a whole. Going to University doesn't necessarily mean one must look to go do an office job only. Flavian is proof of that. But most young graduates feel they deserve that and end up walking the streets looking for that " perfect" office job. I wish this conversation would be watched by many and learn from it. I'm watching this from Zambia. Let's find a way to inspire our young people to utilise the land that's so vast in all of our continent. Wishing Flavian and his family more success. Blessings
Flavian, your passion for farming is infectious. As a black farmer in England, you are a pride not just to Kenyans but to all Africans.
What do you grow/produce? Where are you based? I love to support local farmers & traders 🇬🇧
In kenya, a farmer wakes up at 9am and chickens already woke up at 6am. 😅
I saw my mom waking up at 5:30 am to cater for her animals and i used to wonder why she could not sleep and its her own farm.
I've snapped after this interview and now realise my mom was on the radder. She was such a hardworking woman. We told her to slow down now at 84, but she still tends to her litte affairs at the farm. Blesss her. May she live long.
❤❤❤
Life's too short, same with my cucu. She worked so hard and we never lacked. Bless her heart.
This is fantastic, as a Nigerian living in the UK, am super happy to see a fellow brother pioneer a movement for the next generation of brothers and sisters.
With good farming techniques and Govt support Nigeria could produce more food, including for export.
There is also a Zimbabwean guy with a farm. He was the first person to grow white maize in the UK after they had told him that it wouldn't work.
He doesn't want to boss people around, he wants to do the work. Such a humble statement in a world full of self promoting attitudes. You're are an incredible human being!!
Apart from being humble, the young man is hard working. He's a good example of Kenyans working abroad.
He has Japanese DNA.
God bless him.
@@beckyhenkel7917 nope, pure African DNA ❤
@@Future88746
Alright, Japanese mentality.
@@beckyhenkel7917 😂
Kenyans keeps winning wherever they go..so inspiring as an upcoming farmer with big dreams.
This young man will become very rich.All the hard work will pay.God will Bless the work of his hands
This is amaizing. Since I joined highschool, I knew I'll one day be a big farmer, went to university I did Bsc Agriculture, I love agriculture and I think farming is also in me, in my blood. I still believe one of these days i'll reach where I want to be by God's grace. Agriculture all the way.
Thank you for this amaizing show @LNN
Just 2 weeks ago listening to BBC radio 4 on a Sunday morning, I listened to Flavian Obiero talking to Charlotte Smith and I was mesmerized. It's nice that Lynn has gone and got an interview. Good job
Flavian as an x farmer who reared rare breeds cattle and sheep ,I wish you all the best ,just keep that dream alive. I was fortunate enough to have been born on a farm but when I left school I became a soldier and spent three months in Kenya ,nanyuki then farmed when I left the army ,started with the money in my pocket on rented land .sadly after seven years they sold house and land ,it was so hard to sell all what I had built up,I now live in Spain wishing I was still farming ,maybe Kenya?😅
Wow !
When I saw him doing the show I just said kikuyu.
Later kujua he has the blood.
You are amazing.
Wish u the best.
The show is inspiring.
We can do it.
Young people open your eyes,mind.
Don't give yourself a class.
Do any job.
The desire matters.
Super proud of this young man. Can he attend the next 'Kenyans and friends in the park-UK". I offer to volunteer in his stand bora pig 🐖 choma inuke.
May God bless the work of your hands. Safe delivery to Nikii.
Kweli kabisa ! Washamba ni wengi huku & the most racist... 560 miles is 901kms !! This guy is assiduous & deserves all the blessings coming to him & his family. What an inspiring life story. Flavian and Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones (The Black Farmer) are my inspiration. I don’t shop in supermarkets as I LOVE supporting local traders & farmers.
We normally support a Zimbabwean farmer but super excited to see a Kenyan farmer ! Brace yourself Flavian we are coming to buy meat ! ❤❤❤ Best wishes & blessings to you, Nikki & the baby boy 🙏🏾
I just love this.. Young man you are on the right track.. And yes, you pay taxes in the UK, you sending something back home in Kenya can only giving back to your mother country.. Keep this spirit up..
I'm proud of this young man. Farming is life, as Omondi said if you don't like farming don't eat
Oh my God just watched this guy on Country Fileon BBC last and now I find him on Lynn. Well done Flavian we are so proud of you and thanks Lynn for letting us into this young man’s life
The sky is the limit for this young man so brilliant and intelligent well done.
This is briilliant! I usually look forward to seeing him on Countryfile and Gardener's World. Super proud of him. Last night he talked about eating mandazi after a hard day's work 😊 Please give us details so we can visit his farm and buy his produce hapa UK
Was thinking of the same...
Would he employ me to work there
Brilliant story, Lynn. I love the young man, his focus, his vision - says volumes about him, his background. Very heartwarming story to read. Keep it up Flavian.💪
Waooo, iam a pig farmer ,thank u for these video its too much profitable to me, I know am also going to make it yes I have been in it for the last 3yrs @24yrs I will trust the process
Lazima uamini process. Keep going!
Congrats, I love young people in farming
@@thekenyanpigfarmer6880 kabsa process nayo nilazima ,but its a matter of time
Kudos young man, your tenacity is unparalleled. My grand son is reading agricultural engineering 4-level in Nigeria and I have sent him this interview as an inspiration. You have a candidate for pupillage already.Thanks Lynn and group for doing what you know best how to do.God bless you.
Very happy to see a young man with such a conviction & set goals in life.Wish u success.
This guy invited us to his farm one evening and we had a good choma from his work...this guy is doing amazing stuff here in the UK
Well done, I am so glad he is doing this, farming. I lived in London for many years and now living in Derbyshire, Midlands, England. Now, I see how it is possible to acquire piece of land in some shires(counties). Some you can build a home/house or farm. So, I am not surprised he has done this good and with support of his partner, as it matters a lot, is good work. 15:38 Impressive.
Flavian's attitude is amazing. He is destined for greatness.
I love you sir ❤
Yooooh!! super excited to see someone in UK speak about farming. Encouraged and motivated. Thank you Lynn ❤️
Flavian is a TRAIL BLAZER am so inspired by his story.

This dude is a genius...God bless you man,am inspired.
49:00 to 51:00 addressing our work attitude in Kenya, we need to pull up people. Farming professionally done is real work.
He is so hard-working. Lord, I pray you will continue to be with and help him.
Articulate, inspiration, and hard-working young man.
This young man is doing very well and I love the enthusiasm...the touch he has with kenya his home is very impressive ..i like the statement if one can't cope with your family is a go. Great lesson. I have to try this just landed and I would definitely visit. Congratulations and keep it up

Gosh, kenyans never fail to amaze,,this chap,,one of them.
For me to learn from Flavian's experience. 4 yrs cashflow forecast... and various markets in selling, have a family and a partner who is supportive Thank you LNS for sharing this story. Following from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬
@ 19;45mins thats the KEY POINT ,''''''The goal is not clear but i can see it''''''' very inspiring
This guy knows exactly what he wants. Kudos
Just watched you on the tv with Lynn Ngugi and I am very proud of you
Flavian is amazing and his being driven has brought him success. I have learnt a lot from him. I like the way he respects the environment and encourages people to buy meet from farms near them. I support the degrowth movement.
Great job, farming is awesome. Luo + Kikuyu + English is extreme highbred stuff.
Very inspiring. Its great pleasure and honour to listen to this young man. wish him all the best.
This is what we call wisdom🎉
This guy is living my dream .. i hope to accomplish it one day. Farming animals is in my DNA

Adorable sharp, intelligent young man, i pray we can borrow this and go to the north easterns and habilitate the land there🎉❤
I LOVE THIS FOR HIM 💃🏾🙌🏾 🇰🇪 🥂 to global Impact! Love to see the children of the motherland flourishing abroad!
You're exceptional!! Most people in Kenya especially fam want it for themselves, actually some get envious, jealous to where they can actually cause harm.
I'm proud of you brother and I ask all African fellow living in UK to support our brother's business.
That very encouraging, keep up and if you want more workers pls get in touch with us,we are Ready to come and support you brother
This is a great interview ,kenya to the world
Yes, Kenya to the world 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Absolutely love this. Omondi is so level-headed and focussed. Wueh. At this age this is just mind -blowing.
Thank,Lynn for interviewing Mr omondi.God bless.
This young man is quite an inspiration. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Just hear how he plans and strategizes his business, there's something that is taught in schools abroad that makes it easy to envision a blueprint on any kind of business framework irregardless of the field👏
Correct I agree. His strategy is well laid out.
I echo your sentiments Kevin. Looks like their curriculum encompasses all that
Mentors and experience working in the field have also played a big part in being confident with planning.
Farming is the way to go brother, watching from Namibia 🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦

So inspiring. Keep going we are all proud of you.
Big up nyathiwa, lot's of hugs from France 🇫🇷. Your sister here from another mother.Kenyan living in France #Nyaluo.
Great video! Smart guy! Loved the line where he says of some people working for others on farms back home, but waking up at 9am: "What do you mean, ... even the chickens wake up before you?" Yup! Poor Work ethic and attitude problems " killing " many of our youth back home. And some erroneously think that it's all easy money "abroad" with the streets paved with gold. Smart, practical guy. Thanks, Lynn!
Finallyy🎉🎉🎉🎉I have been refreshing everyday!
We missed you Lynn❤❤. Let me watch and get inspired
Pandya babies! What a story here and such an inspiration from Omondi.
Hi Lynn Ngugi and your guest 👋is nice to see you back, ready to listen to this young Man's Story. ❤❤
