Olamide Alabi-Jacobs is the Chief Executive Officer of UMèRA, an agriculture company that focuses on different aspects such as crop cultivation and animal production, among others. In this interview with FEMI IBIROGBA, she speaks about the challenges facing the sector and how the government can strengthen the value-chain.
People are shying away from agriculture, but from the fashion business, you seem to be shifting focus to agriculture. Why?
I have always been in agriculture. I guess the city life and all the glamour is why most people don’t know that aspect of my life and I have dedicated more time to it. My father owns a poultry farm and cashew plantation, which I had to work on. At first, it wasn’t really an enthusiastic idea, but when I started working on it, I enjoyed it. I would travel at least twice a week to visit the farm. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to start mine. Sometimes, we love things that we least expect. It is best not to frown at opportunities because we never know what we would love.

Meanwhile, I am into animal production: broilers for meat, and they are raised organically. We also raise layers for egg production, cattle, and fishery.

We just started working on phase one of the cashew plantations that will be sitting on 20 million square meters of land.
What major agricultural challenges have you identified and how best to solve them?
There are areas of agriculture that need scaling up so we don’t need to import some agricultural produce. Recently, there was a corn crisis in Nigeria and it really affected poultry farmers negatively. The government also banned the importation of corn during the crisis and later gave permission to a few companies to import. This inconsistency in policy goes a long way in damaging businesses.

Corn has no alternative when it comes to some aspects of animal husbandry and even if we have an extra 1,000,000 acres of land, it won’t be enough. This is why aggregation is the gateway to progress in agriculture.

Are you satisfied with the way Nigeria is practising agriculture compared to other countries in Africa and others?
I think we are getting better daily. We lost focus on agriculture in the past but I will say that I am impressed by the developments I see in the agricultural sector. At UMèRA, we have not launched the nutty Park Cashew Plantation, but we have over 100 investors. This simply means people are interested in agriculture. I believe agriculture is a single aspect of life that we cannot do without. What value is in money if you cannot find food to buy?

People are still not tapping into the opportunities in agriculture. How do we change their orientation?
It is only people who live in cities that probably think that way. A lot of young people definitely farm. The problem is a lot of young people would not want to give up city life for life on the farm. I think the orientation is already changing gradually, because of social media. Young people are getting more interested, especially through aggregate agriculture. Just last week, I trained young people on opportunities in agriculture.

How would you describe the efforts of the government to make youths participate in agriculture?
According to the President of the African Development Bank, Africa is still importing $34 billion worth of foods yearly and this must be minimized. So, I applaud the government for banning some food items. This has given rise to rice farmers, poultry farmers and hopefully it will give rise to corn farmers too.

Do you think there should be incentives for students who study agriculture or agriculture-related courses?
I think giving scholarships would help.

Some stakeholders are investing in farm estates. Do you think this is the right step to ensure food production and security?
Yes, it helps to scale up food production that makes economic sense and not just the regular subsistence farming.

Are you in any form of partnership with the government?
No; not at the moment. I am open to it though. At the moment, I have other partners with whom I work with.

Cashew an important nut is fast booming in the Nigerian market as exporters are exporting a larger percentage of the crop to Asia, Europe and the United States of America.

Nigeria is a natural habitat for cashew and among the world’s producers and suppliers of the crop.
Raw nuts which are much in demand in industrialised countries are processed into kernels that constitute a valuable export product for confectionery. They are used as an ingredient for making fruit paste, candied fruit, canned fruit, cashew apple, resins, jams and jellies, chutney, fruit juice, alcohol and vinegar.
The country is currently rated as the fourth-largest producer of cashew nuts in Africa and sixth in the world, with 160,000 metric per annum and is expected to reach 500,000 metric tons by 2020.
As a result, some firms are investing across the country’s cashew value chain to change this narrative. Among them is Nutty Park

Nutty Park is a leading cashew nut plantation and investment company, a subsidiary of Umera Farms. We are a business driven by excellence towards our set objective, which is to help our investors earn profits while contributing to global food security through cashew cultivation and processing. While our head office is located at Ogbomosho, we operate with a global perspective as our booming business offers several opportunities in the value chain for our investors.

‘Aggregation is the gateway to success in Nigeria’s agric sector’

OLAMIDE ALABI- JACOBS is the chief executive officer of UMèRA, an agribusiness that focuses on livestock and crop production. In this interview with ANTHONIA OBOKOH, she spoke on how she delved into the agricultural sector and how she has successfully grown her agribusiness.

What aspect of farming are you involved in?

We are into livestock production; broilers for meat and they are raised organically without any vaccines, antibiotics, or growth hormones. We also raise layers for egg production, cattle, and fishery.

We just started working on the first phase of our cashew plantation that will be sitting on 20 million square meters of land.

What was your motivation to become a farmer?

DFP-gpt-ad-LB2
My father owns a poultry farm and cashew plantation which I had to work on. At first, it wasn’t really an enthusiastic idea but when I started working on it, I enjoyed it. I would travel at least twice a week to visit the farm. I enjoyed it so much I decided to start mine. Sometimes we love things that we least expected. It’s best not to frown at opportunities because we never know what we would love.

What value are you bringing to the agricultural sector?

Aggregation! My vision is to see as many people as possible come together to achieve greatness in agriculture. There is a misconception that farmers are poor, they appear so because like every other business numbers matter, and it not easy for one man to farm on more than one or two acres at a time. The scale is necessary. Mechanization is something that most of the farmers don’t have access to, in order to scale up. This is why aggregation is key. Recently at UMèRA we launched a project called the Nutty Park Cashew Plantation. So far we have had over 100 people invest in this project and we are working so hard to make sure that this project is the best cashew project on the continent.

DFP-gpt-ad-LB3
Are you satisfied with Nigeria’s agricultural narrative when compared to other emerging economies?

DFP-gpt-ad-LB1
I think we are getting better daily. We lost focus on agriculture in the past but I will say that I’m impressed by the ongoing developments in the sector. At UMèRA we launched the nutty Park Cashew Plantation recently and we have over 100 investors, which is impressive and we are expecting hundreds more to invest. Simply means people are interested in agriculture as long as it adds value with safe investment packages. I believe agriculture is a single aspect of life that we cannot do without. Of what value is money if you cannot find food to buy?

What are the major agricultural challenges you have identified and how best can we solve them?

There are areas of agriculture that need scaling up so we don’t need to import some agricultural produce.

Recently, there was a corn crisis in Nigeria and it really affected poultry farmers negatively. The government also banned the importation of maize during the crisis and later gave permission to a few companies to import. This inconsistency in policy-making goes a long way to damage businesses.

Maize has no alternative when it comes to some aspect of animal husbandry and even if we have an extra million acres of land it won’t be enough. This is why aggregation is the gateway to progress in agriculture.

Do you think anything has changed so far in Nigeria’s agriculture?

According to the President of the African Development Bank, Africa is still importing $34 billion worth of foods yearly and this must be minimised, so I applaud the government for banning some food items. This has given rise to rice farmers, poultry farmers and hopefully it will give rise to maize farmers too.

How do we change the perception of youths towards agriculture?

It is only people who live in cities that probably think that way. A lot of young people definitely farm. The problem is a lot of young people would not want to give up city life for life on the farm. I think the orientation is already changing gradually, because of social media. Young people are getting more interested especially through aggregation. Just last week I trained some youths on investment opportunities in the sector.

Some stakeholders are investing in farm estates; do you think this is the right step to ensure food security?

I have people investing in my farm estate; the Nutty Park Cashew Plantation. And yes it helps to scale up food production that makes economic sense and not just the regular subsistence farming.

Recently I came across a viral video where someone who bought Power Bank from an online store found out that it was in fact, fake. He opened it up when the power bank stopped working and realized two packs of sand were put in the power bank to make it seem heavy.
It’s sad, literally, that the people continue to lose trust in online retailers. Just the other day, I saw another video of a young dude who ordered for a jean. Unfortunately, what was delivered was a piece of jean tearing anyhow like a piece of paper.
How long will this continue?
Several customers have suffered and online stores also have had their fair share of risks that come with online shopping.
But there is a way out!
Remember what people do in a bet?Where they both put their money in the hands of a third party and whoever wins the bet can easily access the money? They do that to avoid stories that touch when the one who loses the bet runs away without paying.
Now imagine it’s possible for you to lock away your purchase fund with a trusted intermediary, who gives the money to the seller only after you have confirmed the product that was delivered to you.
That will be awesome, right?
Well, you no longer have to imagine because your trusted intermediary is here!
Let me introduce you to FINOSELL.
When you use Finosell, you can lock away your purchase fund securely so that the seller only receives payment when you confirm what was delivered is exactly what you ordered for.

Schools across the world’s leading English Language Training
(ELT) destinations are suspending in-person classes in the wake of quickly
unfolding travel restrictions and government directives designed to stem the
spread of the COVID-19 virus.

An earlier analysis from British Council highlighted a range of potential impacts from the pandemic, most of which hinged on how long the outbreak persists into this spring and summer. Moderate-to-high impacts were forecast through the end of March and into end of June, raising the prospect of the cancellation of summer programmes and other short-term courses, including language studies.

Needless to say, this analysis has been borne out as of
late-March. Widespread travel restrictions, and a correspondingly dramatic drop
in flights and flight routes, have caused some students to delay planned
language studies or to pause their programmes to return home earlier than
planned. In other cases, schools have been obliged to suspend in-person classes
by government directives that have closed all schools in a region or country.

To put it mildly, the impact across the industry is
significant. As with most other sectors of national economies today, the true
scale of that impact will depend on emergency measures introduced by government
and designed to forestall large-scale layoffs and business closures as the
pandemic runs its course.

Here then is a quick overview of the current situation for
ELT providers in key destinations.

United Kingdom

The British government has ordered that all public and independent schools at all levels of education be closed as of 20 March.

English UK subsequently advised its member schools to suspend in-person instruction as of the same date in compliance with this directive.

In a joint statement, Chair Steve Phillips and Interim Chief
Executive Jodie Gray said, “This is a public health emergency: we believe it is
vital that our sector follows national advice as our priority must always be
our duty of care to students, staff and the wider community…These are
unprecedented times. We would like to thank our members, international partners
and the wider sector for their calm, considered and public-spirited response
throughout this crisis.”

Canada

In-person instruction has been suspended across Canada, and
this applies to language schools as well. While a number of schools have
transitioned, or are transitioning, to online instruction, Languages Canada
highlights that it is “pursuing relief funding from the government to help our
sector weather the storm of the COVID-19 pandemic, understanding that the need
for this support is particularly dire among our private sector members.”

United States

The current situation with respect to school closures in
more mixed across the US but here too many language centres have moved to
online instruction, or are in the process of doing so.

Australia

The situation in Australia is similar to the US in that
policies vary from region to region in terms of school closures. The national
government has so far resisted calls to close schools of all types throughout
the country.

A number of states, however, have opted to close their
schools, including Victoria (as of 24 March) and Australian Capital Territory
(also as of 24 March). Others are implementing partial closures.

Language school closures tend to follow that larger pattern
across the education sector, and English Australia advises that many member
schools have continued with in-person instruction through March. However, adds
CEO Brett Blacker, “The vast majority of Australia’s ELICOS colleges are moving
to online course delivery. Our Department of Education, Skills and Employment
and national regulators have been very supportive during this period. They are
being as flexible as feasible in their approach to ensure providers can adapt
but also ensure we do not comprise the delivery of quality. The key objective
is that the student can still achieve the learning outcomes for the course they
are studying.”

Ireland

The Irish government closed all schools in the country on 12
March, and ELT centres were included in that directive.

Peak body Marketing English in Ireland advises that all of
its member schools duly suspended in-person classes as of that date until the
proposed re-opening date of 30 March. “However,” an MEI statement adds, “the
re-opening date is tentative and depends on the containment and occurrence of
COVID-19.”

In a related statement, MEI advises, “The Department of
Justice and Equality has recently confirmed that everybody with immigration
permissions which expire between 20 March 2020 and 20 May 2020 will be granted
automatic renewal. This renewal is on the same basis as existing permissions
and the same conditions will continue to apply.

Many international students have immigration permissions
that are dependent on their attendance at language school. Where an English
language education provider has closed due to Government advice regarding
COVID-19, all international students will be considered to have met their
attendance requirement for the shutdown period. All other rules will remain in
place and students will be required to renew their registrations as usual.”

Malta

The Government of Malta also directed the country’s schools
to close as of 13 March, and again ELT schools were explicitly included in that
guidance.

A statement from peak body FELTOM says that, “The daily
increase in new cases globally is surely having an unprecedented impact on
Malta’s ELT industry. As a federation, FELTOM has been monitoring developments
both locally and abroad and is working closely with various ministries to
ensure that the industry is as informed as possible.”

South Africa

The South African government also moved to close the
country’s schools as of 18 March. The ELT sector followed suit with all members
of peak body Education South Africa suspending in-person classes as of
mid-March.

Most member schools have transitioned to online delivery for
the time being, explains EduSA CEO Torrique Borges. “In the face of uncertainty
and financial insecurity, our centres have shown a serious commitment to their
civic duty through the school closures and subsequent measures taken. As with
the rest of the educational and tourism industry, we have pulled together and
continue to show solidarity with one another and the rest of the country. The
hard work starts now and we will be working tirelessly on business resilience
in the face of this inconceivable challenge.”

Real estate in Nigeria has become quite popular over the years and it has become a major investment people are investing and pumping their money into.
Real estate business in Nigeria is quite profitable and lucrative. The real estate sector in Nigeria is presently in the high move and it is booming so well and quite a lot of people are making millions of naira from it. Despite the economic meltdown that has taken over, real estate business is seen as a money supplier.
One beautiful thing about real estate is that it's opportunities are so wide that there is something for everyone and as you expand in the real estate business, it's an opportunity open for you to expand your portfolio as time goes.
Real estate business has quite a lot of opportunities but note that buying and owning a real estate is more complex than just investing in stocks. You have to know somethings before venturing into it, so you don't have to regret at the end of the day.
In this write up, we will inform and introduce you to real estate as an investment. Read along as we take you on the journey of real estate investment.
Below are some of the steps needed to invest in real estate that will result in huge profits or return.

Rental Properties.
Rental properties investment is quite old. It's as old as land ownership. For rental properties, you buy properties and rent it out to tenants, then you become a land owner who is responsible for paying the maintenance of the property.
Most times, you'll charge more rent fee that is enough to cover the cost that comes with owing a rental property as well as the the profit too. So you need to do a lot of research about rental value charged by other land owners in that particular area. Becoming the owner of a rental property leaves you with a fixed rental fee monthly or yearly as you want.
It is well known that properties appreciate in value as time goes on leaving the land owner with more valuable assets.
There are issues with rental properties especially tenants. You probably may end up with a careless tenant who doesn't know how to take care of your properties, thereby leaving your properties destroyed. The worse is not getting any tenant to occupy the house. This could result into having a very low cash flow monthly.
There's another important issue of finding and seeing the right property. You'll have to look for a property that is quite conducive for people to rent and live in. Perhaps, the major difference between rental properties and every other investment is the amount of work and time you have to put in to maintain your investment.
For example, if you buy a stock, it stays in your brokerage account and, hopefully, it increases in value but in rental properties, there are a lot of responsibilities attached with being a land owner. First, you're responsible for the maintenance of your property. However, if the work load becomes too much, you can hire the services of a professional manager and note that it is not free of charge. You'll have to pay the professional manager you're hiring.


REITs- Real Estate Investment Trusts.
A huge number of people in Nigeria are not aware of the Real Estate Investment Trusts. Real Estate Investment Trust is a company who takes charge and finances income-producing properties. It has also be found that it comes with a lot of advantages, and one of it is portfolio diversification. Another wonderful and nice benefit is liquidity. Liquidity is also another, that makes for liquid assets that can be sold very fast to raise cash or to take advantage of other investment opportunities available.
Just like regular dividend-paying stocks, Real Estate Investment Trusts are a solid investment for stock market investors that want constant and regular income. Real Estate Investment Trusts also gives room for investors into non-residential investments such as office building or malls.


Land Flipping
Land flipping is the act of buying land and selling it quickly for profit. Land flipping is a good investment and it needs little or no effort. Land flipping will involve your money and a deep understanding and knowledge about land ownership and the process involved there in. If you're armed with those things, you're good to go. You would have to have a considerable amount of money if you want to make your money in millions but if you don't have, you can start with just a plot of land and from there you can proceed to buy more land and keep selling.


Property Development.
Property development investment is really money intensive. It involves getting properties in nice and beautiful locations, building and developing them to luxury and Behind apartments, commercial structures and other things needed. After it has been completed, you then sell it at a very high profit margin. For instance, if you spend 400 million to build and develop a nice location, be certain that you will be selling it for N800 million. Location is a very important thing if you want to invest in property development.
There are a lot of real estate investment but be careful by making the right decision, do your research thoroughly and weigh the benefits and cost before you dive in.
It is comforting to know that the appreciative value of real estate lies greatly on getting the right location. During the process of investing, make sure the site you're choosing is not far from top and high places in Nigeria. There are places in Nigeria that are untapped mine for real estate investment.

Purchasing a land on Nigeria is more than just buying a household equipment. There are processes you need to follow in order to properly acquire any land in Nigeria. It’s very crucial and important to understand the processes involved as they make you well informed about the in and out of your plans. In this article, we will Informe you about all that you need to know before acquiring a land and below are the steps.


Budget.
Budgeting is a crucial matter when acquiring a land. Before searching for a land, be sure about your budget. Your budget is tied to the decision of how much land you can purchase.
For example, with a budget of 3 million, you're very certain of how much you're willing and ready to spend in purchasing the land. You must have at the back of your mind that there are important things in your life that needs money. For instance, the fact that you're buying a land doesn't meant you will stop paying your house rent incase you live in a rented apartment. Buying a land in Nigeria doesn't shield you from other responsibilities that you're meant to carry.
Before you make any decision, make sure you have settled other important aspect of your life that needs your financial commitment.


Location.
The issue of location when purchasing a land is to be taken into consideration. The amount of a plot of land in Eko Atlantic is not the same as the land in Mowe. The former is much more expensive due to the unique character of the neighborhood.
Eko Atlantic has become one of the world's cutting edge new cities and it has gotten to an advanced state and stage of development. It's a big project on a very huge scale, put together by a team of international and local patners while mowe is one of the bodering towns in Ogun State. Location plays a very important part when purchasing a land. Getting land in some part of Nigeria is very difficult, especially in Lagos. Most times, you will have to buy the land alongside with the property that's is with it.
The more advanced that location is, the more expensive it will be to buy such land. For example, you can get a plot of land for 1 million in Ajah and the same plot can be sold in Ikoyi for 140 million.


Request For The Documents That Pertains to Land Owners.
Before you make deposit or payment for any land in whichever location in Nigeria, you must ask for the following documents:
* The deed of assignment.
* The survey plan.
* The tax clearance certificate.
* C of O- Certificate of Occupancy.

Don't make payment for any land if those important documents are not made available. Don't play with this and don't accept anything less because this is a way by which people exploit land buyers. So many people have been scammed and many have landed in court fighting and contesting over a land that has been paid but the process was not carried out properly.
Always insist on the documents stated above in order not to make yourself a very easy target for scam.

Verification of Land Ownership and Availability.
Requesting for ownership copy of the land is not enough, you must also verify the originality of all the documents provided. Requesting and having the document is not enough, verifying them is very important.
There's a chance of getting a good land in a good location and at the price you budgeted but please don't be carried away that you forget about those documents. Purchasing a land with a nice and good deal is very okay but you need to be very certain of what you're purchasing. Get verification experts who can help out in verifying those documents before you pay a dime. Land investigation is a lot more complicated and it is advisable to leave it to a certified personnel in this field.


Ask As Much Questions As You Want Before Taking Any Move.
After thorough verification of the documents, please be free to ask as much questions as you like. Ask questions like;
- Why do they want to sell the land?
- Is there any dispute or pending issues over the land?
You can also ask if the land was inherited and don't forget to check the answers from the documents that was provided. Make sure the dates are correct too.
It's also important to run a thorough check on the owner of the property, the land presented to you and the documents as well. Be careful in order not to be stuck with fake documents given to you in haste by fradulent sellers.


Make Yourself Available For The Proper Inspection of the Land.
Refrain from pushing the inspection and investigation of the land you want to buy to another person. Go by yourself, inspect the land, talk with the buyer and see how things are by yourself. Don't put the responsibility on someone else no matter how much you trust the person.
The only thing to this point is that, you can inspect the land with a real estate expert. You can trust a real estate professional to guide you. Despite the benefit of a real estate professional, you must make yourself available for the inspection of the land.

Documentation and Payment.
Be committed enough to document all the transaction that takes place between you and the seller. Every single detail of the deal should be documented.
Documenting every single detail is important for future reference and please ensure they are well documented in order to avoid disagreement and conflicts.

The Problem And Issue Of Omo Onile In Getting A Land.
There are other payment that you'll have to pay in addition to the amount of the land. It's well known in Nigeria that Omo Onile has become a popular part of acquiring a land. Omo Onile means child of the land owner. They are also called land grabbers.
You have to put them in your plan when buying the land and the reason is that they have diverse ways of making things difficult for you if you ignore them.
Never make any attempt to get a land from them. Please remember to get all your documents that proves that the land is your own including C of O.
To handle the issue of Omo Onile, the government has approved a 21-year jail sentence for whosoever is guilty of land grabbing. Incase you're confronted with the Omo Onile saga, gather all the documents and hand it over to the security agencies to take due actions

Extra Cost of Buying Land in Nigeria.
The fact that you bought a land for 10 million doesn't mean that you have paid all. There are other expenses that comes with building a house which include:
1. Legal Fees: Most times, it is usually 5% of what the land costs
2. Agency Fee: It's is the same with legal fees i.e 5% of what the land costs.
3. Survey Plan: The amount of a survey is between N150,000 and N300,000.
4. Signing Documents: It is only in Lagos that payment must be done in order to sign a document. In others states, it is not done.
5. Securing Your Documents: Before you can complete and perfect your documents like your C of O at the Land Registry, you are to pay a certain amount of money.

Troubled Land
I'm sure you must have come across certain land that had this popular inscription "Land Not For Sale." It's a good example of a troubled land. Such properties are not difficult to notice. It's advisable to stay away from such land.
Note: Avoid leaving your land bare. After purchasing the land, try erecting a fence around your property in order to shield it from land grabbers. You don't have to make the fence very high but make it visible to all that this land belongs to somebody.
You can even go extra mile by digging a well, visiting the place often and hiring a local guard to help you look and watch over the place pending the time you're ready to do something with the land.
Finally, as it has been said above, carry out proper investigation on the land. Make sure all your documents are correct and well documented. It's advisable to work with a trust worthy real estate agent as it saves you from issues and future conflict. Read More on https://landlordltd.com/?blog_post=rreal-estate-pre-foreclosure-investing

INTRODUCTION
Pre-foreclosure investmentwww.landlordltd.com involves the process of investing certain capital in the public sale of a mortgaged property after the pre-foreclosure of the loan secured by that property.
Pre-foreclosure represents the first phase in the foreclosure process. In this stage, the homeowner has missed at least one payment and is now considered delinquent on loan. A pre-foreclosure can otherwise be referred to as a Notice of Default (NOD), which is a formal warning sent to the borrower on loan regarding the delinquent payment(s). At this point, the owner’s delinquent status is made public, and the property is added to the pre-foreclosure lists.
The legal condition of a property which is in the early phases of being repossessed due to the inability of the property owner to pay an outstanding mortgage obligation. Reaching pre-foreclosure condition begins when the lender files a default notice on the property, which tells the property owner that the lender will commence with pursuing legal action if he/she failed to take care of the debt. At this point, the owner of the property has the opportunity to sell the property before it is foreclosed or pay off the outstanding debt.
In simple term, a Pre-foreclosure is a deal between the seller, homeowner, and in sometimes, the lender. This can be a very positive way for both parties to make a quick transaction. First, commence by seeking for loans that are in default. This option helps you to determine what the seller's needs are and inspect the home. Also with a pre-foreclosure, you will need to find out the actual worth of the home, how much profit the resale could yield, and what it will cost for repairs. To stay ahead of the game, you will need to make any repairs as quickly as possible and turn a quick sale after you purchase the home.
When a buyer of a home takes out a loan to buy a property, he/she signs a financial agreement with the lending organization to repay the loan in monthly installments. The monthly installments cover a portion of the interest and principal payments on the mortgage taken. If the homeowner fails to make payments for at least three months, he/she is said to be in default. A Notice of Default (NOD) is sent to a mortgagor who is in default of his loan payments which will also be made a public record by the bank. This action commences the pre-foreclosure process.
