Hello Nairalanders,

I am a passionate farmer with hands-on experience in crop and animal farming. I currently own a farm land and plan to cultivate maize, rice, groundnuts,pepper soybeans, and beans this farming season.

Farming is not just my business; it's my passion. Having worked in agriculture locally and abroad, I've seen the potential it holds for consistent profitability. However, farming is capital-intensive, and this is where you come in.

I am offering you an opportunity to invest in agriculture with a legally binding agreement ensuring your safety and transparency.

How It Works:

1. Investment Options:

You invest a specific amount in the farm.

Funds will be used for land preparation, seeds, fertilizer, labor, and other farming inputs.


2. Returns:

After 4-6 months (depending on the crop), you will receive your principal with a guaranteed return.


3. Legal Agreement:

Every investor will sign a legal document to ensure trust and clarity on terms.


4. Updates:

I will provide regular updates on the farm's progress, including photos, videos, and reports.


Why You Should Invest:

Agriculture is recession-proof.

You're partnering with someone with a track record and experience.

This is a way to grow your money while supporting local food production.

If you're interested, kindly send me a DM or drop a comment, and I will share more details about the available packages and returns.

Let’s grow together, one harvest at a time

I don't feel guilty; he simply took advantage of my kindness, and I have no regrets.
🤣

Are you feeling guilty after harvesting his crop and selling them for your compensation

Or you think you would have made more money if you earlier made a sharing agreement


You called for partnership, but you people worked like employer & employees


I'm not sure the guy is at fault[/quote]

You are so correct.

I cant go to the police station because there is no written contract. I have learnt my lesson already.

And the worst part of it all is he was using Christianity to pretend and when he got what he wanted the real him came out

Yes. He should be able to see the post and give his own side off his story.

Hello everyone, I want to share the outcome of my business dealings with a fellow Nairalander, and how things went down. Sometimes, what we think is smart might turn out to be foolishness.

I posted on this platform seeking a partner for cassava farming, and someone showed interest. We began talking, and I invited him to join the partnership. Since I was also new to Benue State, I was staying with a friend, who initially wanted to charge the man rent for accomodations, but I asked him to forget, that since the man was supposed to partner with us. Later, I regretted not allowing my friend to collect rent from him.

When the man arrived, I took him to see the farm where I had already started cultivating cassava, and promised to show him another land soon. However, he expressed interest in having his own personal farm, while still partnering with us. I agreed, and together with my friend, we started looking for land for him. He insisted that if we couldn't find land for him, he would leave, so we worked hard to find it.

Eventually, we secured a large land, and he paid for the clearing of the land. I was in a hurry to finish his farm so we could begin our partnership, and personally went to the bush to gather cassava stems for planting 19 ulah that 400* 19. Sometimes, he would follow but do nothing, which I didn’t mind because I saw him as a brother. However, he only paid for one set of cassava stems, which was not enough to plant a substantial area, it only planted 376heeps. My friend and I provided the remaining stems.

I gave him advice, sharing my past experiences of wasting money on failed investments in Benue and how farming might have been a better path. I mentioned how I once started a cassava factory and a animal farm, which didn’t succeed because of human wickedness, and that if I had a network of investors, I would’ve suggested investing in cassava factory . he became interested and.even suggested that he could partner with me in a garri factory, combining our efforts for mutual benefit.( he brings the money and i and my friend provide mannpower and any thing we could source locally we would do it)

Despite the challenges I faced, I managed to make connections with people who could offer land for our business. I discussed how garri could be sold in markets like Port Harcourt and Jos, where demand was high. We agreed to start the factory, but when it came time for actual physical work, my friend and I were the ones carrying out the labor—gathering materials from the bush and clearing the site. The man, however, stayed behind.

Once the work began, he told my friend he didn’t want me involved in the factory anymore because he couldn’t manipulate me like he was manipulating others. He also expressed doubts about my intentions, suggesting I might run off with the garri. This was hurtful because I had always helped him, even when things were tough.

Eventually, he and my friend had an argument, and my friend was forced to leave and asked him to leave his house. I decided to step in and assist him since my friend was no longer around. But when I organized transportation to bring the garri to Jos, he suddenly claimed he had made other arrangements without even consulting me. The most frustrating part was that he never gave me any financial compensation for the work I had done—except for a loan of 25k that I had to take from him to visit my factory, which ultimately didn’t work out.

When my friend and I demanded compensation for the time and effort we had put into the business, the man used money to bribe the local authorities, and they sided with him, embarrassing themselves in the process. My friend got some compensation, but I received nothing.

In the end, when I was about to leave, people advised me to harvest his crops and take the profits, as he had been unfair. I agreed, and we harvested some of his farm, selling part of the produce while leaving the rest for him.

Now, looking back, what would you have done differently if you were in my position?

Please I recently came across a website called sabiforex, and I learnt it has been paying people from last year, is there any one here that has registered to sabiforex

Hello guys, Goodday,
I'm in need of someone who I can partner with to farm cassava in the remaining 2hectres of land.
I have finished farming in 3hectres already, and I feel only me cannot do the remaining 2hectres, I collected later.

So if you are interested in a partnership, you can come and see the land and also make an agreement.

And also Note that planting cassava here is really not expensive.

Thanks.

excanny:
You can't eat your cake and have it.

Except your soil has enough nutrients to cater for both crops, there will be a drop in yield in both.

Do you have the practical experience?

Hello,
I recently discovered from a farmer here, that I could actually farm cassava and maize together.

Please I want to know from experience people here.

Please share your experiences
And contribute if you also have practical knowledge.

Thanks

henrimoto:
The 400 heaps is it on 1 hectare?

Abeg, this okete town, is it security save, as in, no herders and their cow?

Plus, what's the direction to Okete town from Otukpo?

No, I only gave a breakdown cost of farming.
I'm still farming. From yesterday ad today and have done 1200heep.

It's secured here.
When you are at otukpo tell a bike guy to take you to okete.

You won't see herders here. You only see them in the up town, close to nassarawa. The boundary town

mrjaybaba:
Interested in this too

Why ñot you take your time, walk to the community close to you, or drive over there.

Meet the villagers and interact with them, you might be lucky to get one free.

Those in the village are not on naira land. The most you see online are middlemen.

Go out to the street and confirm for yourself

femu:
Which town?

Okete

Jamestown123:
I know it will be Benue state. But where in Benue state sir. Na Otukpo?

Not otukpo. Okete!!

femu:
Wow
You are lucky. Continue your gist jare

Alright, I will later, today is my second day on the farm. And I also intend to kill the trees.

Majesty7:
How are you my brother? Can I teach you farming, deforestation, agroforestry, netzero, international farm grant and export?

You see, based on your picture, whatever you harvested there won't ever be bought in the EU, UK, USA, Japan or Australia (that is export). Note the countries and continents.

The practice of killing trees for farming is called, "deforestation". Which is obvious in your picture. Now, agroforestry has always been a sustainable way of farming (that is another topic).

It is a very lengthy one but I will plead with you to always allow the tree to mature even if you want to harvest them than kill them and release back all the sequestered carbon. You can't request for a farm grant with the practice of killing trees for farming activity.

You have a very good idea but I am just pointing out something's for you so that you can grow better and learn.

Wish I could talk for long.

May your farm bring forth hundreds upon hundreds produce for you and may you witness this in good health and happiness. Please let's learn to always protect trees. Thank you

If I was to farm yam. I would have left the tree.

But I hope you also know cassava don't like anything like a shade to cover it..

Provided It grows well. I can do whatever I want to do with it.

Thanks for kind words. I'm grateful.

Redomi:
Are you sure you are a farmer? Tell us your farm location and the village name, even in the far north where labourers is cheap, they cannot clear an hectare for 15k.
I'm a farmer here in Ondo, no labourer will clear 2 plots for 15k here

Yes I am a farmer, location is Benue State. And it was cleared for 15k. Wow then it's expensive in ondo!

AyodejiMdot:
Maybe the op is talking about one plot

Did you see me saying one plot?

I said I rented one hectare for #5000

CodeTemplar:
Your breakdown of cost components looks dirt cheap. Had to crosscheck the original post date to be sure this isn't a 2018 topic.

I was also surprised when the villagers told me the cost of a hectare, and the cost of farming too. Now this is my reality

Hello guys.

I have been following the cassava thread in this section for some months now.

Now I decided to invest and farm cassava, but was discouraged by the cost estimate I got from the platform.

I'm actually working on three hectares for the start and see how it goes.


Now I can give a breakdown of my expenses.

Cost of renting 1hectr: #5000( five thousand naira)
Cost of clearing: I spent #15000( 15 thousand naira
The cost of help is #10 naira for one. How it works here is 400 heeps, after calculation, you will get #4000 but if you plead with the workers you might get lucky for #3000.

This is a practical breakdown.

I will share pictures of what I did today at the farmland.

I will keep you guys updated, have a nice day
