Recently, Jumia Nigeria started collecting BVN numbers from its vendors/sellers under the guise of standardizing and improving payments to their vendors.

After collecting BVN information, full names (as it appears on your bank account), phone number (that you used to open the account), Jumia will now pass all your information along with your bank account details (which they already have) to the Federal Inland Revenue Service to access your account and make deductions as they please.

Jumia should have been honest with it's vendors (though I doubt if they would have been able to successfully collect any seller's BVN, lol). It is wrong to use false pretense to collect information from people on their platform and blackmailing them by saying that their payments will stop if they don't provide it.

Since when has BVNs been pre-requisites for payments to be made?

By the time their vendors discover they've been deceived, let's wait and see the outcome...……………………….

Hi @okine4real......I am interested in Oil Palm plantation, do you happen to know anyone that can help set it up?

okine4real:
I have been hearing lots of people, talking about different types of Agricultural produce they can plant or would want to plant, But what i have not seen on these forum is for someone to really come out and tell us, all the stress, difficulties, ups and down he/she went through before setting up there plantation.

I want to start by saying i have managed to secure mine self 13 plots of land. Each plot is a 100 by 100 feet. i want to start up an oil palm plantation. I have been able to buy 1755 oil palm Nursery from NIFOR. My story goes like these.......

Each oil palm nursery cost 150 Naira
Loading of each oil palm Nursery inside the vehicle is 20 Naira each
I paid 50,000 to convey the goods from IMO state to Ibusa Delta state.


On getting to the farm, the vehicle could not get to ibusa on time, the vehicle got to ibusa around 9.30pm. So the vehicle had to park in the house for the night. The next morning the journey to the farm began around 6.30Am, on getting to the entrance of the farm, the vehicle could not go in, because of poor road network. The vehicle managed to drive in but as the vehicle drove in, some sticks punctured one tire. So we had to off load the hold oil palm nursery on the ground. So we hard to go hire a pick up van. The van owner charged us 6,000 to convey the nursery to a location closer to mine own farm because there are other people farm in front of mine farm. now after that, i had to call the Hausa boys to use there wheelbarrow to convey the nursery to the farm, they charged 24,000. na wa ohhhh

Now the next stage is for me to plant. My mum's brother did one of these Agricultural causes is school, so he is a professional when planting oil palms.

We used a spacing is 8.7feet. you heard me clear, 8.7 feet. while they where doing the measurement, you know when planting oil palm, you have to do pegging, some hard roots was sitting on the sport where he was suppose to plant the oil palm, there was so much roots on the ground, we called the Hausa people again, they charged me 30,000 to uproot all the hard roots. so work continued. As am specking now, they have finished planting the 1755 oil palms. They would be buying more 200 palms because its like the land is more bigger than with i was told.

While am putting these here is for the new people that wants to go into farming. People, if you must go into farming, you must have money..... The more you go into it, the more unforeseen issues comes, and if you don't have cash to solve the issue immediately, your work would be suspended.

Also it does not end in just planting, there are still lots of things to be done before the said three years when you would starting harvesting.


So far so good, i have don't lots of mistakes in setting up mine oil palm plantation. If i have read some post that advices one on NL about setting up Oil palm plantation, i would not have made these silly mistakes.

if you are setting up an oil palm plantation.

Never you buy expensive lands.
Buy from NIFOR in your State not from outside your state
Let there me good motor able rood, so the vehicle conveying the palms can go into your land direct.
Make sure there is know roots in the ground that would disturb when planting


I would update later when more things comes into mine head

Hello People,

The federal ministry of agriculture and rural development decided that cattle rearing can be use to create jobs and as a way to solve the regular battle between the fulani and the rural farmers. If cattles are rear in almost all our rural areas with government support. Then more fresh milk production and healthy meat products would increase....

First for growing ewedu, consider warm water treatment of the seeds to soften the coat for easy germination. The method involves soaking the seeds in hot water for 3 minutes before planting.
