NUMBER ONE SHOCKER ON 3RD JUNE 2011 EMAIL FROM PASTOR SOLA

Glorious Business Day to You,

We re-evaluated our Plantation Plans and introduced new but very
important activities such as the Purchase of Implements, Irrigation,
Replanting reserve,other reserves e.t.c. Contract Labourers who do
Manual Bush Clearing and Weeding have also increased their wages while
hike in the cost of Fuel, Oil and Diesel also added to the overall
increase in the total amount of money that will establish and manage 1
Hectare for 5 years from NGN200,000 to NGN400,000.

We are also making our plans more achievable by reducing our 5-year
target to 10 Hectares Plantation per Hectare by December 2016.

This is our New Plantation Plan sent to our Partners and Prospects:.............


Attached is the All-New CASSAVA CORNBINE PLANTATION PLAN worth
starting with NGN400,000 and can multiply to 10 Hectares in 5 years.

We shall help manage your Plantation for at least Five years
(2011-2016) so as to compound it from 1 Hectare to 10 Hectares
successfully.

A 10Hectare Cassava and Corn Plantation will earn you over NGN1Million
annually from December 2016.

We project 2 to 3 metric tons of Garri produced from 1 Hectare of Cassava.

Welcome to Plantation and Industrialization that will employ
thousands of unemployed youth in Nigeria.

Thanks. This all new Plantation Plan will help us serve you better
with accountability.

Best Regards,
Olusola Oluwagbemi
Royal Manager

When I got the above email, the first word that came to mind was 'inexperience'
1 thought, ok, I took a risk. u win or lose. I asked pastor Sola, what is the deal?
We agreed 2 Hectares for the investment CORN AND CASSAVA COMBINED


8th of June 2011

Glorious Business Day to You Mr.&Mrs.Solomon Allistar,

I, unbehalf of the entire team of Food For Life Project, tender our
apology to you and your family for the sudden increase in the cost of
our Plantation Plans.

This is due to circumstances beyond our control. The overall inference
is that it will help us serve you and your family better with
accountability and not having to rob Peter to pay Paul.

Thank you for your understanding and your belief in the entire project.

Best Regards,
Pastor Olusola Oluwagbemi

Farm last friday and it may take one week to complete it.

We are in July/August break and there has been no rain in the past two
weeks. The rains are expected back by August ending to September.

The Crops are doing well. Saidi was with us last Saturday to see your Farm.

Thanks

Ok, WE BACK ON TRACK

Glorious Business Day to You Mr.Allistar,

Your Corn on two hectares is growing already. We started planting on
June 27 and expect Corn harvest as from September 30, 2011.

We shall start planting your Cassava next week. We have gathered
casava stem to the point of planting. It will be cut to size and
planted as from next week.

We recently increased our man power from 6 to 12. To God be all the Glory.

Thanks for mailing. Greetings to your family and friends.

Best Regards


11th of July 2011
God will enlarge your coast and bless your family in Jesus Christ name. Amen

Your Cassava is being planted today as reported by our Farm Manager. I
am in Abuja and will be on the farm next weekend by 23rd.

You can also record the planting dates:

CORN June 27, 2011 (Planting spread over two weeks)
CASSAVA July 11, 2011 (Planting may take up two week)

Mr.Saidi, your brother, called and discussed visiting this week but i
will advise he wait till any day as from 23rd July. By then the
Cassava would have started growing well.

Thank God for the steady rainfall and favourable farming weather conditions.

Best Regards,

Olusola Oluwagbemi

again by August\September 2012 by then we expect to have 4Ha of
Cassava and Corn

Your Cassava, the empty spaces will be replanted in October 2011. Your

Thanks for calling. Thanks for believing in what we are doing.

Best Regards,
Olusola


SHOCKER NUMBER 3

Pastor Sola told me to do him a favor by exporting a truck from europe to him. I thought what a cheek

[b]12th of April 2012
Glorious Business Day Sir,
We will be expecting you and I pray a highly favoured trip for you in JESUS CHRIST name. Amen.

We are preparing to do the third/fourth weeding of your 2Hectare Cassava Farm in May and by God's grace it will be harvested in or before September this year.

We have a challenge to overcome on our Plantation and that is Animals (Aparo ati Ikun) coming to eat our Corn seedlings. Surely we shall overcome that this year by God's grace.

There are still more Virgin Farmlands to cultivate for you, your family and friends. Hope to discus that and Nissan Cabstar Truck when you come. Please do me a favour with the Truck (cost between NGN800,000 and NGN1.5Million) and will be glad to repay you over a period of 15 Months.

Thank You

Best Regards,

THE BOMB


8th May 2012


FARM HARVEST REPORT
Here is the report on your farm.

I harvested 1 Bag of Corn worth NGN1,500 and 4 Bags of Cassava worth
NGN8,000 :ofrom your 2 Hectare Farm (after paying workers and
transporters).
We made Losses on your Corn and Cassava Farm cultivated between June
2011 and July 2012 due to the following reasons.

1. Wrong Timing/Planting Season (June/July 2011)
2. Farm land has reduced Fertility
3. Poor Weed Control
4. Bad road/Transportation Cost to and from your Farm
5. Climate Change
6. Old Cassava and Corn Varieties


I am improving on a daily basis now. I made a lot of mistakes in my
first and second years of farming and am presently applying corrective
measures to cut down Losses, cut Operating Expenses, Cost-effectively
and properly Control Weed, improve Crop Yield Per Hectare, maximise
Profitability and eventually hit our 5-year Plantation target.

Now we are trying to imbibe Mono-Croping where for example only Corn
occupies Half of an Hectare exclusively and then on another Half
Hectare only Cassava for a CASSAVA CORNBINED 1 HECTARE FARM. This will
drastically reduce Competition among Crops and help the Farm Manager
to concentrate on the Crop and give them all it takes for excellent
result.


THE FUTURE

I will restore your Farm to you by God's Grace. My annual Expansion
Targets on 1 Hectare Farm are stated below.
Year 1: 1Hectare Farm=1.1Hectares Farm
Year 2: 1.1Hectares Farm=1.3Hectares Farm
Year 3: 1.3Hectares Farm=2.5Hectare Farm
Year 4: 2.5Hectares Farm=5Hectares Farm
Year 5: 5Hectares Farm=10Hectares Farm

Your 2.2Hectares Cassava and Corn Farm shall be planted on or before
March 2013 using new improved varieties which is a very good planting
season. This will be made possible because I already have TME/TMS
Cassava Varieties (IITA Ibadan) on two of my other farms and the stems
will be ready freely for us to expand to more Hectares. Our Corn hence
forth will do well because i now have the secret of getting
out-performing yield per Hectare. I also now have a used Bus that will
serve the purpose of a Truck and will help cut down transport
expenditures from now on. Also i now have a trust-worth and
God-fearing Supervisor and he is doing very well in coordinating
workers and resources.

Please bear with me in trying to bring about Food and Agriculture
Restoration to Nigeria and to Africa and this is just our 2nd year.
The Challenges are many but our ALMIGHTY GOD is greater than all of
them and i believe by the help of the MOST HIGH GOD we shall surely
Overcome making the greatest of Impact and Profit in the nearest
Future.

Thanks again for your Partnership and Understanding. May GOD bless
your Family. Amen.

Best Regards,
Olusola Oluwagbemi

QUESTIONS

PASTOR SOLA, WHERE IS MY 2 HECTARE CASSAVA PLANTATION THAT YOU HARVESTED IN SEPTEMBER 2012?
WHERE IS THE MONEY?

TODAY I RECEIVED THIS EMAIL FORM PASTOR SOLA

Glorious Business Day Sir/Madam,

Please accept my apology for the failure recorded on your Farm. It
happens generally to most Farmers including those with over 20 years
experience.

I have attached Plantain Cultivation Plan to your e.mail to plant
2,500 Plantain Suckers on 1 Fertile Hectare and manage it for you so
as to restore the wasted time and investment.

I have located 1 fertile Hectare for you. I will pay the rent soon and
start Bush Clearing in February/march so that by March/April this year
we start planting.

Please send a God-fearing, Christ-minded Co-Manager to be coming to
your Farm at least every quarter (3 months). This will assist us
greatly.

The harvest will be done stage-wisely and money made will be paid into
a Bank Account you will give to me or allow your proxy to organize the
harvest and sales.

We are moving forward in Jesus Christ name. Amen.

Thank You

IS THIS GUY FOR REAL
MAKE I SHOW AM

Basically, the Guy is claiming that the farm did not do well by claiming to have only harvested around NGN8000 worth of crops from a farm in which over NGN700K was invested.

Originally the farm was suppose to be a 4 hectare farm, but later on he cited mysterious expenses then we had to reduce the land to 2 hectares. After that it was one excuse after another.

The first project, he planted corn on 2 Hectares of Land around June 2011 with the intention to harvest September 2011. Nothing came out of it. His explanation ‘wrong timing for planting’

Second Project , He planted cassava on two hectares of same land in Mid 2011 (few week after planting the corn) with the aim to harvest September 2012, He went behind my back and harvested the whole farm, then sent me a report that the crops did not do well.
He promised to reinstate the farm in March 2013. This time I thought ok, I better do this the proper way by getting a lawyer and a more reputable person involved. I contacted the Pastor this week via email to update me on the way forward because March 2013 is just around the corner. He sent me an email stating that he will get in touch with me after they have done the planting. No detailed information about where the farm land will be situated, documentation or whatever.

That is when I decided to bring this matter on nairaland for the sake of transparency and full disclosure. I don’t know the guy from Adam, but only via Nairaland. I followed his posting for 7 months before I contacted him.
He has sent me an email today apologizing and agreeing to do it via the proper channels. Bottom-line, I don’t trust the guy one bit. But I will not let him get away with it neither.

I will update you guys with further info on how I get on with the MOG.

My brother,this is exactly what you get, when you hand your money over to someone to do business for you.

My brother,this is exactly what you get, when you hand your money over to someone to do business for you.you can never have rest of mind ,if you allow another person to control your business.

Appears we are in for a documentary, would have preferred action packed.
