Brilio.net - Fate is indeed unpredictable, as experienced by this chubby-cheeked boy. Unexpectedly, this boy grew up to be a successful comedian. In fact, when he grew up, this man studied at the Faculty of Economics, Jakarta State University (UNJ). Becoming a comedian is certainly far from the educational background of the man born on August 10, 1977.
Yep, this man is Sunarji or better known as Narji. He is an Indonesian comedian who was once a member of the comedy group Cagur. This group was founded on July 23, 1997 and consists of Denny, Narji , Edwin Hermawan Kaliselang, and Sapto.

After Sapto was replaced by Bedu, the Cagur formation became Denny, Narji, and Bedu. In 2002, Bedu resigned and his position was replaced by Wendy. Narji then decided to leave Cagur and join the entertainment show Trio Semprul with Andhika Pratama and Gading Marten. In 2016, Narji started his solo career in various soap operas, films, and television shows.
However, in recent years, Narji has chosen to take a break from the entertainment world and switch professions to become a farmer in Pekalongan, Central Java. This decision started from an accident when he visited his wife's hometown, Dyan, in Pekalongan.
There, Narji was interested in how local people invested in rice fields and agricultural land. He realized that vegetable traders who sold in Jakarta had a successful life in Pekalongan because of the investment.
Despite not having a background as a farmer, Narji decided to try his luck in agriculture. He bought a rice field in the Dawuan area and began learning to manage the farmland with the guidance of his father-in-law.

Activities such as plowing the fields to harvesting crops he did himself with the help of his father-in-law. In addition, his wife secretly expanded their farmland by buying additional rice fields through her father.
Narji planted his land with various types of vegetables and fruits. He also employed local residents to help manage the land. Although it was not easy at first, Narji's hard work in farming began to bear fruit. He felt happy and proud to be able to contribute to the agricultural sector and provide jobs for the local community.
Narji's decision to switch professions to become a farmer received a lot of support from netizens. Many appreciated his steps in living a simpler life and being close to nature. Narji himself felt happy with his choice and enjoyed the learning process and challenges faced in the world of agriculture.
In addition to focusing on agriculture, Narji is also active in sharing his experiences through his personal YouTube channel, "Abang Narji". He often uploads videos showing his activities while managing agricultural land, farming tips, and his interactions with the surrounding community. These contents receive positive responses from viewers and inspire many people to appreciate the agricultural sector more.

It turns out that Narji Cagur has been known as a land tycoon since the 2000s. Narji revealed that he has 1,000 hectares of land.
"There are around 1,000 hectares, half of which are waqf, the other half are disputed. They are in Pekalongan, Pamulang, around Parung," he said.
He uses the land for planting and farming. He started buying the land he owns when he was young. Narji also said that his wife also played a role in allowing him to own thousands of hectares of land.
"From when I was young, it was like that and my wife was also strange, every time I gave her monthly money, sometimes she saved it and when she went home she said, 'Yeah, that's a new rice field'," he said.
