In a world where success is often measured by financial achievement, influence, and relentless productivity, a quieter but more profound conversation is emerging about what it truly means to live a wealthy life. Is wealth simply about money and status, or does it also encompass health, purpose, meaningful relationships, and the ability to uplift others?
For Moji Davies, the Group Managing Director of Xtralarge Farms & Resorts, the answer is clear. True wealth, she believes, is multidimensional. It is found not only in financial prosperity but also in physical health, emotional balance, purposeful living, and the capacity to create lasting value for others.
An accomplished agripreneur and visionary business leader, Dr. Davies has spent more than fifteen years building a reputation as a pioneer in modern agriculture and agritourism. Through her leadership at Xtralarge Farms & Resorts, she has helped create one of Nigeria’s most distinctive farm-based hospitality destinations, a place where agriculture, nature, and wellness intersect to offer a rare sanctuary from the pressures of modern life.

Her journey reflects a rare blend of entrepreneurial drive and social impact. With extensive experience spanning animal husbandry, crop management, organic farming, and agribusiness development, Dr. Davies has been at the forefront of promoting sustainable farming practices while expanding the possibilities of what agriculture can represent in contemporary society. At Xtralarge Farms & Resorts, agriculture is not merely an industry; it is part of a broader vision of healthy living, environmental connection, and personal restoration.
“Most people think wealth is money,” she explains. “But money is only a tool. Wealth is the value you carry and the value you are able to transfer to others.”
To illustrate her point, she often uses a simple but powerful metaphor. A person stranded in the desert with a suitcase full of cash but no water quickly learns that money alone cannot sustain life. In that moment, the person who possesses water holds the true wealth.
For her, wealth begins with the body and the mind. A woman cannot sustain a life of vision, leadership, and impact if her health is compromised or her mind is exhausted. Yet many women today find themselves caught in a cycle of constant responsibility, caring for families, managing careers, building businesses, and supporting communities while neglecting their own well-being.
“We often try to be everything for everyone,” she says. “Mother, wife, sister, leader, provider. In the process, we forget that we also need care, rest, and renewal.”
This imbalance, she believes, is one of the primary reasons burnout has become increasingly common among high-performing women. The modern pursuit of success often prioritizes financial achievement while neglecting other critical dimensions of life.
Dr. Davies identifies what she calls the seven dimensions of wealth: physical health, emotional well-being, mental clarity, relational strength, spiritual grounding, time freedom, and financial stability. When any one of these dimensions is pursued at the expense of the others, imbalance inevitably follows.
“A person might make money but lose their peace, their relationships, or their health,” she says. “That is not wealth. That is imbalance.”
The antidote, she argues, begins with intentional rest and a reconnection with the rhythms of nature. A rested mind is not only healthier but also more creative, more productive, and better equipped to lead businesses, families, and communities.
This philosophy is woven deeply into the vision behind Xtralarge Farms & Resorts. Nestled within a tranquil natural environment, the resort offers visitors something increasingly rare in today’s fast-paced world: stillness.
Guests wake to the gentle sounds of birds rather than the blare of traffic. Fresh air replaces urban pollution. Open farmland and greenery offer a visual and emotional reset. The setting creates space for reflection, rest, and reconnection.
It is an environment Dr. Davies describes as “a modern Garden of Eden,” a place where people can rediscover themselves away from the noise of daily life.
Beyond its scenic charm, the resort also serves as a platform for promoting agritourism and sustainable agriculture. Visitors can engage directly with farm life, experience organic food systems, and reconnect with the source of what they eat. For Dr. Davies, the connection between agriculture and wellness is inseparable. Healthy food, natural environments, and mindful living form the foundation of a healthy society.
Recognizing the growing pressure on women in leadership and professional roles, she has also launched initiatives designed to encourage women to prioritize their well-being. One such initiative aims to build a community of thousands of women committed to living healthier, more balanced lives while supporting one another in personal and professional growth.
Through curated retreats, wellness experiences, and community programs hosted at Xtralarge Farms & Resorts, participants are encouraged to schedule rest as intentionally as they schedule meetings and business engagements. The retreats combine relaxation with practical learning about wellness, financial literacy, and long-term wealth creation.
At the heart of these efforts is a simple message: rest is not a luxury. It is a necessity.

“A rested mind is a productive mind,” Dr. Davies says. “It is from that place of calm and clarity that real innovation and impact happen.”
For many who visit the resort, the experience becomes a powerful reminder that life does not have to be lived at a relentless pace. Sometimes the most important step toward growth is the willingness to pause.
As Nigeria’s agricultural sector continues to evolve and agritourism gains momentum, leaders like Moji Davies are demonstrating that the future of farming can extend far beyond food production. It can also become a platform for wellness, community, and human renewal.
In redefining wealth, Dr. Davies is offering a compelling vision for modern leadership, one that values balance as much as ambition and purpose as much as profit.
In her world, true wealth is not measured solely by what a person earns, but by how well they live, how deeply they care for themselves and others, and the lasting value they leave behind.
