If you want to engage in farming do it yourself forget those farm managers or management, most of them know nothing about farming. You are in the northern part of the country and giving money to someone in the west to farm for you and you never for once come down to inspect your investment na wa o.

eminikansoso:

Oga you no try at all
Two disasters fire and animals
First, three months after planting fire incident. My question is did you plant cassava in the month of October because fire can only burn down the crop during dry season but you called every one you are managing their farm to inform them the incident without picture.
Secondly, animals attack which is very common to all farmers in the country.
If you planted the cassava during July and you do the weeding on stage 4 as he stated in his own report, there is no way fire can burn down the farm. For my own view oooo

obstead200:
the thing tire me oooo.
She deserves to be duped for such level of stupidity.
How can u send cash contnously and never bothered to check it out?
How can u expect to be a successful farmer without being physically involved?

I am still waiting for the tales of woes of other pple doing remote control farming with the likes of sedu..... , Hotm........ , worl........... And other "farming experts" on nairaland.

I no call anybody name ooo

@Lesgup!
It's obvious you are trying to dupe this man. I have my own story to tell, early last year I saw Lesgup advert on Plantain farming, I was interested when I saw the breakdown of cost and ROI. I called him, and he described the farm location for me, I'm sure he doesn't expect me to visit the farm at Kajola, Oyo State.
When I got to the farm, I thank my luck that I've not commit a kobo to the project. Farmers stayed in farm, but this guy and his group stayed in Ogbomosho.
Don't trust anyone with your money when it's comes to farming.
Though he told me i went to the wrong place, but when I sent him the pictures I took, he never bothered me again to invest in the project anymore.

eminikansoso:

He says fire burnt down the cassava farm during the raining season but that can only happen during the dry season to a farm that never been weed for six months when all grasses in the farm would have dry up.

stagger:
This so-called farm management does not work. Anything can happen: drought, pests, disease, poor yields due to bad soil prep, mismanagement, theft, herdsmen, etc.

If you are not ready to manage your farm yourself and bear all risks involved, do not send money to anyone to do it for you.

kagari:
Mr gbenga your excuse doesn't hold water, there was an agreement beforehand, did you include clause for natural disaster or pest attack or you just painted the business to be perfect.

Mr gbenga you are guilty as charged, you either refund Op his capital or you give him what you agreed he would get in the business proposal

RealityShot:
Good question!

when exactly was the cassava planted? @pk2000000 @Lesgupnigeria

op did Les.. Show you any proof of the fire at the said time?

ops where exactly (state) is this farm land?

if Lespug says he still has cassava in your land right now.. You should go and confirm it.. Your money might all be there.

Farm for me Doesnt work even in your own village.

Philpham:
And when I thought of investing in this guys business. Wonders shall never end. If Legupnigeria duped this man, then its a very big disappointment and shame on his part for someone who has contributed a lot in agric section. He should clear his name if he can do so.

Lesgupnigeria:

I guess you did not read what I posted very well.
There was fire incidence during the dry season.
During dry season,workers can smoke and drop the cigarette or hunters who hunt do start gunfire which might go beyond their control if not managed.
There are risks and it was one of the risk we encounter,part of it was destroyed and we have to wait till this year rainy season to replant those cassava.
The immature cassava are still on his farm as I type but the issue is that he has not been to the farm even for once to see things for himself.

Lesgupnigeria:

I didn't want to reply you but I feel the need to educate you.
In every business there are challenges.
I informed him about the risk involved before we started.
The success of any business lies in rising above the challenges and find a way to minimise all risks.
This is what we have done by replanting the cassava lost this year to rectify and meet our target which is what we have done and the just planted cassava are doing very fine.

eminikansoso:

You said three months after planting. Did you plant the cassava in the month of October?

That's a serious allegation.
That's a strong allegation. Its very sad seeing this on this forum with people trying to scam others of their hard earned money.

stagger:
MMM told people to invest only with money they could afford to lose. Yet people were still throwing in millions, even borrowing money, using money from cooperatives to put into the scheme, even when there was more than enough signals of where the whole thing would end.

The penchant for greed as well as wanting to make so much money without putting in the personal commiserate effort is a big problem. Even if Legsup informed the OP about the risk, I am sure he simply blinded his mind to them and went ahead.

I still maintain: farming by proxy does not work. Quote me anywhere.

Lesgupnigeria:

Here dry season start from October ending till March/April

eminikansoso:

yes dry season started by October ending but bush burning start by December period when trees and grasses would have dry up.
Note am a farmer no how can fire burn down the bush during November period talk less of October.
We are not all perfect.
There is negligence on the both sides of the story.

eminikansoso:
My cassava farm after 4 months of planting

Degis:


What kind of stupid talk is this?

So, you have been collecting People's money in your own agriculture ponzi scheme without Insurance against losses like fire, rodent attack etc?

You see why we say you guys are far being in the business of agriculture, how could you?. You had better find a way to remedy this situation instead of forming victim

How could you?. Never give money to anyone to farm for you in Nigeria because majority of them are scammers

Lesgupnigeria:

I think you might need to go for a checkup.

Before you write carelessly,you need to think.

OP is still owning us money. He only paid for the 1st weeding,we have been using our money to do all the operations on the farm,so how do I scam him.(which was the mistake we made)
And with all the sacrifice,this is what we get in return
So unfortunate

jethro2:
Hmnnnn.
I remembered been labelled the queen of bad news for cassava then...

I was scorned and called several names for saying lesgupnigeria was lying about the profitability of cassava planting.

I remembered a WhatsApp group of another woman too that was shouting for refund of her money. It was quickly dozed when lesgup agree to refund her money.

We all shut it up.

And now another one brewing.

Who know how many more that didn't speak out.

Every practical farmer knows cassava price are not predictable.

Yes. I agreed I got burnt.
But I never keep lying to people that its profitable because I need their fund to play with.

And here you come online vomiting gibberish saying you help the investor.

You should be on your kneels pleading for messing up the guys fund with the promise of refunding his capital if not with interest.

You obviously mislead him from the beginning because you know you will hide behind fire or whatever excuse you have cooked up.

Investor...
Please hold him tight.
Make sure he pay for every of your money to the last kobo.

And for anyone that lesgupnigeria must have messed up their fund, time for you to speak out.

Please give us another story when you refund the guys money.

Leave the bull and cock story of fire and animal.

Remember that's the same thing you told the other woman too. That cow ate her farm.

Talking of 2 years back

jomolu:
IS TRYING TO BUT HAS NOT DUPED YOU.
Fire incident and small animal invasion,And replanting was done to cover the treat,dat mean u still expect more money when these replanted cassava will be harvested.
He also charge u to have one on ground as ur representative to give u first hand info of what is happen in ur farm.
Mr Yusuff,can we have d photos of the farm destroy by fire? because there should be documentation to convince ur clien,if something want wrong.
PLS SHOW US UR EVIDENCES OF FIRE AND SMALL ANIMAL INVASION
