Na true ooo who will help us resurrect dis thread

Under the GES ewallet scheme, farmers get access to subsidized inputs and seeds which they pay for using the mobile money facility from their phones courtesy of the Cellulant platform.

Now there is a registration window which opens just before the farming season. This is at ward level so you are supposed to register in the ward closest to your farm. After registration, you will get a text informing you to go to a collection centre to pick your inputs.

Now the news all over town is that it has eliminated the fertilizer cartels and the corruption in the system. The rumours are that the corruption has simply metamorphosed and changed format. I won't say more.

Like I said, this is a practical fact finding, do-it-yourself mission to ascertain the true state of affairs. Stay tuned.

My Oga, can i have your email address? I need to talk to you sir. Thanks in advance.

Stagger!!!
The start was great, how did it end?

Mr Stagger pls come and reply to this thread ooo...need to talk to you pls b4 this 2015 is over!

Stagger, any updates. How did it go? did you eventually get any loan?

Fulani herdsmen invaded my land and well...the rest is history. They equally destroyed my sign posts. Now their cows are permanently stationed nearby.

I am now trying to get the entire place fenced. No be small thing.

What a tragedy.

Looks like you've done more farming after that. Has it been profitable so far?
I realise we have common interests in cassava and maize and thats my reason for asking.

I've been on a career break from farming for the last 2 years and looking to restart. Is it advisable considering the state of the nation now?
I know food is expensive (which is good for business) but the persistent food inflation and unpredicable government policies are becoming too complex to analyze the possible outcomes in 2025.

I am also looking at production for commercial supply using forward contracts. Have you tried something along that line?

I'd like to hear your thoughts, thanks.

No loan.

I got the place fenced and we are doing well.

Thank you for the update. Please how many acres of land are you farming on? The reason for asking is that a relative planted 15 acres of cassava and corn 3 weeks ago just lost everything to the herdsmen issue.

As long as the stems were not damaged and are still in the soil, they are fine. They will resprout with adequate rain. Even if they are uprooted, as long as the stems have nodes, they can be replanted and still germinate.
