Anyways, share your story. I hope this thread wont end up with some lazy ass sending his/her life savings to someone in the hope of investing. It has happened here before.

KPhantom:
wait oo, did i just hear that this guy is 23?? 23?? and im seeing 70million, ewo... Young rich Nigga.. #hats off to all risk takers.. #team agric.

Almost everybody has said something, Now it's my turn.I will make this brief and concise as much as I can. As for those doubting him, keep doubting. Little thing about Ymodulus is, He rarely do business with people, i.e, collecting money to do it for you. He has laid it down for all to see. It's your choice to make do of the information. But trust Nigerians, they like hoarding information just to maximize profit. From importation to Keke business to Yam business to Money exchange and now to tomato business. Well, the list is much, this is the few I can think of. Funny enough, he gave it all for free.
As for the tomato biz, I actually did follow him from the start to when he got the tomato in Cameroon. From the flights to the meal, to the pictures he took in the different vehicles and even the truck and his bills. Guess what, I was shocked in one of our conversation when he said that he has spent above 100k in search of the said product, but hasn't gotten it. I saw some bills. Truth be told, he has got some really big balls. It might sound easy but it's not that easy, it has its own hurdles. Don't be surprised in the next 4 months, Ymodulus is into something else. As a business man, he spots opportunities and take advantage of it. We all know that the product is actually scarce and it is not even available in the country now. If people can import things from neighboring countries and not follow the truck and still get their goods delivered, why should this be different. Atleast, speaking from experience.
As for those saying, it's not possible. Please you can keep doubting, he has nothing to proof to you.
It would be fair if you share your stories with us and inspire us. We would appreciate.

Tosicrato Ymodulus.

MaziOmenuko:
Nice one @ymodulus, very adventurous...

Although I am not that impressed. Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to bad-belle or anything, from a business-man point of view, you did great but from a scientist point of view, this is still the same 'running around in cycles' that has kept us in the dark.

My point, we need to start thinking of ways to preserve tomatoes! It sold for N300 per basket 3 months ago, now its N14,000 per basket. That is almost 500% increase in just 3 months. If we can get a preservative to keep tomatoes intact for just 4 months, we will be making smart profits without dodging bullets, dodging thieves, sleeping in the forests, taking flights upandan

Anyone that can pull this off should contact me with a proposal and funding.

bobkezel:
This story can inspire the non-right thinking man in the wrong direction. Follow his steps and you will lose it all. Lies upon lies. Flying around naija in search of tomatoes, giving out free monies, phones and other valuables to every d!ck, tom and harry. Is that how you do your own business? And you call yourself a business guy. My friend, it is either you are blatantly lying, or you are just being extremely hyperbolic. Liessss.

stuhporh:
Nice story, a lot of money involved, lots of techniques on how to move the money is involved, lot of info are not been told. But in the end he made it happen, its inspiring.

What i picked from these is growing tomatoes here in the southwest. it is possible, it is happening. i have seen 5 different green houses between Ajah and Epe growing tomatoes and pepper.

Living in Ibadan ogun, osun etc, this should be your target. GET INSPIRED BY THE STORY INSTEAD OF ATTACKING THE OP. ASK A QUESTION INSTEAD OF ARGUING WITH HIM.

And I work in a firm that audits financial institutions, banks, and allied institutions . I am trained to detect bullshit and I call this tale bullshit.

Local transfers to which BDC? The BDC in Nigeria or in Cameroun. If in Nigeria, how do you ferry 76million naira or whatever Cameroun spends across the border? I do FX transactions with dorm accounts, cards and underground channels and you would be a maestro to move such cash around. Do you know what money laundering even is?

Do you know why most people rich people buy artworks, Jewelries , diamonds and so on? It is because you cannot possibly move cash around with such ease.

[s]People who buy from China use domiciliary accounts to push such large funds and they take 3 business days minimum.[/s]

afreekah:


What you don't know is your big BOSS. If only you knew this guy before you won't be sweating on this matter. Can't remember the last time I paid China sellers through domiciliary accounts, blend with the info ages and stop all these blind arguments. If you are conversant online and knows little about marketing online, getting huge funds across borders shouldn't looks like a rocket science to you as it seems now.

kafeii123:


And how do you manage to sustain profitability with these exchange rates ( I assume you'd need euros) abi "imported fresh tomatoes" is enough selling point?

Jethrolite:
Preserving tomatoes is not rocket science, all you need is sub zero freezing warehouse but where is the power in Nigeria to run such a warehouse. Powering the warehouse with solar power will help but the initial cost will be out of this world. That is how the white man does it, they produce quantities to last the whole year then refrigerate before processing to meet market demand.

Ymodulus:


sorry sir. i will prefer everyone does it him or herself.


However what i must tell you is dont be scared even if you have 1Million Baskets. You can sell all a day. I mean a day.

Dont be scared.

I am so sure of 7,000Baskets in Lagos a day. And am sure of 1000 Baskets in Portharcout in a day.

Tomatoes is also been imported from Benin and Togo into Nigeria.





Note* due to experience you can sell 1,000 basket in portharcout and make a profit of someone who sold 5000Basket in Lagos.
PORTHARCOUT is the money market. Those people live a high life.

atimes i wonder if people really think with their brains or anus. How can someone post this trash and people swallow it hook, line and sinker. I blame the moderators in part for not scrutinizing trashes before it gets to front page. That was how that same guy (ymodulus) posted one trash here about him commiting suicide, he gave step by step details about how he wanted to commit suicide and people were all over here ranting ''we should save him'', and running helter skelter to save him. He always gang up with his cohorts to deceive gullible people. He is a habitual con man and lair. He is 23, and he is worth over N100m and upon all his wisdom and all thriving businesses he could delve or invest into, he chose a tomato. Had it been he mentioned canning of tomatoes, i would have forced myself a bit to believe his trash. He is a blo0dy liar and i pity those that are gonna fall prey to him.

Rexyl:


why insulting someone else for saying his mind? Progress can only be made when proper investigation is made into steps taken and their outcomes. Some of the activities claimed to have been undertaken are likely hypothetical and maybe they are for research purposes. Though the OP has tried in his own best to discuss what he has passed through in the course of that Biz, some things can't just work smoothly for a new comer like that. He has stated concerning how he maneuvered his way through, certain things can't just work like that. It is proper to disbelieve certain actions or fault some ideas of someone who has caused serious confusion previously. Some will easily say he has started it again. I won't say he has not tried as an aspiring person, but his analysis must be queried further to know how realistic acclaimed success is among all odds.

Ymodulus:


hehe! our expenses so far including transport and hotel bills and gifting to fulanis and local farmers is N306.780 as at today.

This is no issue as our profit will cater for it.

HardMirror:

I don't know the worth of Ymodulous but I know he is very very honest (people change so I still advice everyone to be careful). Mayorall, ymodulous, Justi4jesu are people I have done business with and was surprised at how open and honest they are. Here on nairaland I think ymodulous should be the most impressive of them all. Very intelligent, hard working and innovative chap.

Still I advice people to be careful.

By the way, I don't think he is asking anyone for money

While it might seem astounding to you that the 23 year Old Guy is worth 100m (almost 500,000 dollars). Let it not surprise you that he has chosen to TRADE in tomatoes. Everything is always about ROI. Any smart businessman will put money in investments that will give him high ROI within the shortest Time possible, This is why you see market women in your town having enough money to build a lot of houses--via the money they made from TRADING.

Canning of tomatoes is a complex biz. From setting up the factory, to running it, to handling regulatory issues etc. When a businessman sees a better opportunity, he will TRADE in tomatoes rather than CAN tomatoes.

As your networth increases, your risk appetite may start abating...then a Tomato factory might make sense to you, even if the ROI is smaller than TRADING in Tomatoes.

As long as the guy is not asking you for money, I dont think you should have any problems with him.
