He is says i should pay additional fee and the way and manner he says it pisses me off.

First, I think we all need to have his contact and blacklist if indeed he is fraudulent . Which of the markets did he say he was buying from? What price has he offered? Pchat, it may be possible to locate him

From the response I have had thus far, I think it is necessary to tell those going into the venture to do their due diligence b4 proceeding. Like all businesses, it has it ups and downs. Patience is the watchword if you want to make substantial profit otherwise you may regret venturing.

For Lagos markets, preference is for hand peeled and it is priced higher though when unpeeled that variety is priced lower.

Your will enjoy more turnover though with the white, machine peeled Egusi.

i personally do not think "dav8id" is a fraudulent person(my own opinion). The fact is that, i had talked with him on phone before, he has a very bad attitude and manner in responding to someone on phone sometimes. The last time i called him that my client needed a product, he demanded for service charge(which is not bad), but he said it in a rude & improper manner. I got pissed off. But the truth is that, he is not a fraudulent person, i know someone who had a successful deal with him, he only has some bad manners sometimes.

why would you invest your money with someone that will easily give you high bp?Somebody you dont know.Somebody who can easily run away with your hard earned money in this bad economy.Blame yourself if you loose your money at the end.They are only interested in making their own money.Why not go to the market by yourself and study what is going on.Invest alittle money in first attempt and increase your investment as you get use to the business.Times are hard be very careful.

As suggested earlier. Spending 20k on transportation and lodging for 1 or 2 nights to safe guard your investment is better than just gifting cash. Worst case scenario, the contact will charge you a premium to take you round. Nasarawa is not Borno o for those that are scared.

As at Friday, Nasarawa market @170 per modu ; Gunduma @N130; Kokona @N150. The lowly priced markets obviously have lower quantity available as well.

Bags can come in 100, 120 or 160 modu, the choice is yours.

Note also that price is for white egusi.

Apologies. Had to go through the maraba nyanyan route today and it was chaotic.

Peeling before selling should give you more profit however most people don't as they experience loss while peeling and cleaning.

If you buy low, you dont need to peel to sell as good profit is assured. I have bags i bought as low as 18k from farmers directly but not everyone gets that opportunity.

The storage system is relatively okay but if you want alternatives to market storage, I can give you options dependent on the quantity you wish to store.

Prices are likely to hit 45-55k this year.

Note: Not all varieties can be sold at the premium price. U can reach me via pchat.

Jamilu sack (size 32 bag).

Note that i am not talking about the black head egusi but the white face.

Gunduma and Kokona markets still sell for N130-N140 per modu
