Snail is considered delicacy by some people in my home country, but I have not heard of commercial snail farming in my home country. I also do not know what's it like in other countries. Before you venture into this business make sure to check market demands.

I do not know Nigeria but let me share my knowledge on snails. There are 2 kinds of snails that you can raise - the edible for humans and the other is for the animal feeds. Take your choice. Caring for the snail farm is the same regardless of the type of snails. You need a water area like a man-made pond or even a shallow pool. Water plants are neede for the food of the snails so you have to know what kind of water plant is that. Aside from that you just let the snails grow in number and harvest the adult size to be sold to your customers.
