pk2000000:
let me first apologize, for the delay in giving the report of my visit to ogbomoso, it was not intentional.
i went to to ogbomoso on the 21/11/2017, the trip was funded by my gbenga, i arrived laomi village arround 4pm, and i met mr gbenga on the farm. he took me to where cassava that was replanted is, it was replanted somewhere else not the 4 hecres i paid for, i saw the cassava and we took the picture, we are still discussing the issue of the 4 hecres and the actual size of the replanted cassava, we still spoke this morning,

i really appreciate all your contribution, advise, and criticism. God bless you all.

Hallams:
Waiting for Mr Gbenga's response

opelyem:
This is shocking. Having gone through the expenses, he was truthful enough. Anyway, let us wait for him to give his explanation.
however, I will say managing any business for someone is not a reasonable thing to do. I have got myself in trouble on this in the past.

kagari:
Sorry bro, you fell into the hands of internet farmers that gives one ridiculous business plans.

They abound in cassava and plantain threads.

It would pay you more to send Money to the village for farming than commit funds into their hands

Willie2015:
Op. You live in the North, the Citadel of Farming and Jerusalem of Farmers and you are sending money to one black nigga to do farming for you 720 km from your location.

It is well sha

princetom1:

You know how to contact him, stop doing eye service here pls

excelsiorfarm:
The first question will be, what was the yield per hectare that he said, what is the sales per tonne.

The elders will say the man that hear from one without hearing the other is wicked.
Possibly analysis is 1 hectare is expected to give 20-30 tonnes when a good mgt with spacing is done.

Now it is important to state that agriculture or farming isn't on internet, at times expectations could differ due to rainfall, stock, mgt or pest/disease & it is better to loan an individual if you cannot be directly available on the farm if not your family or friend.

Curiouscity:
This is the major reason why we are not progressing industrially in this country. NO TRUST, NO TRANSPARENCY AND SINCERITY.

One cannot partner with another person, because s/he is afraid of being swindled of his/her money. No one is interested to invest in your ideas after hearing stories of how others were dubbed or scammed. There are businesses that will blossom so well if people pull resources together. But this attitude of ours keeps us running small 'stand alone ' businesses that are barely surviving all over the place.

Sad! Sad!! Sad!!!

I just wish this is not true, but from personal experience, I doubt.

Etranshub:
@op I feel your pain but then it will be very bad to just listen to your side of the story and nor listen to that of the other party. However I have just one question , did u or did you not visit the said farm at all throughout from preparation to harvesting? :

FMCASH:
Farming is not as rossy as people portray it, lesson learnt.... Move forward bro

RealityShot:
Now here is a twist!

lol.. So the op has not visited his property even after recieving less ROI..At leat to confirm that "any" planting was ever done?

Lesgupnigeria

pk2000000...Americans (including Apple corp) own factories in China.. Do you think they dont visit regularly?

Ademat7:
This one weak me

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 from 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

Arivanautos:
Nawao, this is a serious matter

saliubello:
My suggestions for an amicable resolution of this empasse. .

1. Each side acknowledge that there was a communication gap.

2. Farm matters are usually resolved on the farm. Therefore, Both parties will have to meet at the farm location.

3. Your write up depicted you only paid for cultivation on one hectare only if I'm correct? If so. N100000 has been reimbursed.

Take a trip down to amicably settle this.

Remember, when the bead rope cuts, the bead balls might not be complete. You will have to shift some grounds in other to resolve this. Moreso, you are now a landlord in the area and good landlords are good neighbors. You will still need to work together in maximising your property already acquired.

My 2 kobo. If this doesn't go down well with you, just ignore.

agricexport:
Thanks to those that have contributed in one way or the other.I will like to know if there is any evidence of the incident? I mean,pictures or videos? If there is non,then I doubt the incident.

We shouldn't use that to judge genuine farmers/Project managers.Though, unexpected issues may come up which might not be stated in the proposal,but there should be an evidence. If at all things do not worked out as planned, the owner of the project or his relations should be carried along.Thank you.

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

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.

aliyuthayo:
@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.

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.

Fhemmmy:



I think this is comparing apple to orange.
The OP invested based on information given to him by the "Farmer Manager" and i dont see where greed come in
MMM people are not doing anything BUT wants to make money even when no one can explain where the money from MMM was coming from.
In this case, the OP owns the land, the "Farm Manager" was supposed to till the land and plant on His behalf which means he is working for the OP and the OP is not doing anything wrong by expecting his returns on the investment

The only problem was how could be be an absentee farmer while he reside in Nigeria and he should have been careful with his investment and KNOW that the risk in farming is huge while if mitigated well, he could smile to the bank too

But i dont see how greed pushed the OP

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

Edicoco:
@lesgup please post pictures to back up your claims...else all these long episples u are writing is a total waste of time.......this is an eye opener for me..

Flaghouse1:


From your flimsy explanation my inference is that you seem not to be a trust worthy person,my questions to you are as follows

1.in the process of carrying out the business feasibility did you at any time do a risk analysis report for your client ??

2.You claimed the produce got burnt by fire in the farm, can you produce pictures of the burnt farm,cassava stem and tubers damaged by the fire.

3.On the day you noticed the fire incident did you call him to inform him of it, or its just after you paid in the N100,000.00 to his account that you told him of the fire incident.


You are not straight in your dealings

maridrug:
Mr Gbenga should redeem his image/integrity by reimbursing his clients.
His excuses are flimsy.

mumanex:
[b][/b]@all,I have spoken with all the parties involved and it will be settled soon
I have known Mr Gbenga for years on this platform and have be following him
I am surprised by what I am seeing hear.
He is a guy of integrity and reasonable
I have done cassava with him some years back and presently have plantain farm with him.
OP should have visited the farm to know the progress of his farm by sitting down at home and expecting money
I visit my farm every 2 weeks under his supervision.
I am aware that fire ravage their farm last year
NOTE: I am not supporting lesgupnigeria neither his spokeperson because he has his fault but my this is my personal relationship with him

noblebaba:
Hmm God really safe me from this guy because ,this happened while I was fine tunning my plan to do business wt him,lesgup you choose to dupe people with flimsy excuses when people want to go into farming, can't u record the incidence on ur phone when it happens or inform him instead you are still rude in your response, don't u imagine the numbers of clients u will loose in fact I'm sorry for you

TRIXIA:
Are your hands clean Yinka?

Mutscoty99:
Ok

Charcoalcity:


You should know this pattern already. Scam people, complain, people call for explanation under the topic, same scammer use another account of his to try to salvage his image. It's all too familiar
