Agricultural revolution in Nigeria defined simply as the stage in the country's development when about 20% of the population can feed the rest in addition to providing necessary raw materials for her industries, has become elusive to attain. It has been shown in this paper that the poor performance of the agricultural sector has been the result of inadequate but exploitative attention given to it, a sector so crucial for our development. A near total mobilization is the least required to produce the desired-positive results, even in a gradualist approach. This paper has drawn heavily on local sources and newspaper reports as well as reported speeches of the authorities to illustrate that we have all that is needed to form an attainable, and workable vision of a Nigeria we want. Never a borrowed one. Thus effective participation of all in designing such a workable vision will help as a guide for development and what we want to leave for posterity. Whether we do so now or not, the social effects for good or ill are inevitable.
