You remember my investment project I nicknamed Project Jireh? if No.

2 years ago I decided to partner with a select few Nigerians who cannot own or manage a farm. They invested in my Watermelon and Cucumber Production and we paid returns every 6months.

It offered a good source of short term income for our partners.

Project Jireh has been an experience. It has had its ups and downs. I have profited from it and so have my investors.

We took it out of the public view so that it will not just be a photo op farm. We can actually do work and make money for our investors. As I learned the hard way that spending too much time on the internet can actually affect farm productivity

We worked with our small circuit of partners and have tried our best to keep them happy, while remaining very happy.


We have done Jireh 2 and Jireh 3 successfully and now we move on to Jireh 4.

Unfortunately one of our major partners died during the course of Jireh3. And after much deliberation. We have decided to make his stake available to the public.

I can assure you it wont be available for Long.

Sorry sir... You can chat me up on whatsapp with 08097273034

Great Idea! These are the kind of services farmers need.

ChuckKingston:
Please forgive my shallow understanding on this topic, I owe that to the fact that I'm new in the agriculture biz, please I don't really understand this concept oh, is it that as a farmer once II harvest my crops, I should not sell it to those market women in mile two and the rest who would later sell it to the end users, I should instead sell it to vegolas who would then sell it to the end users, so what difference does it make, do I tend to make more profit by selling it to you, please I am not understanding #InAgu'sTongue... Please kindly help me explain in a more detailed and simpler way..thanks

my boss @Pavore9 has done justice to this.

I will be closely following up on this

PapaBrowne:
A big congrats bro. Extraordinary Success all the way. Jasper is the future! 20 of Jasper and Africa would be a different continent.

Bros... You too hype me o. Jasper in this continent reach 1million.

alakara:
it is at agege abattoir. One of our customer bought it there.

Thanks... will check on it. I appreciate

Pavore9:
I buy weighed ewedu, okro, plantain etc.

I do not know what you have on ground but l guess you have a digital weighing machine. Digital weighing machines are what is mostly used to sell meat in Kenya. so if you want N200 meat they weigh it there.

Have transparent nylon bags around the produce, so that customer can put different produce they have selected in different nylons (except for bulky stuff life pineapple, watermelon etc) so calculating their prices will be easier. If digital weighing machine is being used it gives room for flexibility and if the okro l may have selected weighs 871gms and you are selling a kilo at N250 then the machine should read N217.75

You are so on point sir... I have been looking for this weighing machine for a while. Finally had to order it last week. Yet to receive delivery for it though. For now, we are using a Digital Scale and doing the calculations manually

Pavore9:
Do you sell per kilo?

Yes o. Everything per kilo

whirlwind7:
Bro, the thunder that will strike and usher good fortunes your way has almost finished loading!
I swear, you motivate me in no small measures. I am proud of you!

Actually, I am a dreamer. I dream so much, but you are the realist and the practical one. You are the one who often bring my agricultural entrepreneurship dreams to reality.

You will succeed where others stumble and fall. I am following your progress.

Lol... Bros...

Nice one... Looks very Fresh...

Following:
are you making provisions to carry innovative small scale farmers along or is it only for established farmers who the rules of the game only. i just hope maybe your team could give out desirable seeds and maybe little inputs to the small scalers who will partner with your market in an organised contract basis to ensure year round production.

You are certainly on point! VEGOLAS was built for small and medium scale farmers... We have a farmers support unit... That offers improved input and technical support for small farmers. To improve both quantity and quality of their yield. 100%

organicfoods:
Excellent effort. This is the way forward.

Thanks boss...

Tycoflu:
Nice one boss, you are a pace setter. How do you preserve them to maintain their freshness for days considering epileptic power supply and high cost of running a generator 24 hours daily?

We are learning on the job. Improvisation and Innovation are the key words here...

shakyriri:
When I saw vegolas on ig.something told me it has do with you sir.Kudos.Thanks for birthing this.
Lagos is waiting

Lagos will be on in no time #Anticipate.

So... As a farmer you can be a part of this Revolution!
If you actually pay attention to details in your planting. And you produce quality products... You can join the revolution. You can become one of the farmers on the VEGOLAS farmers Market.

We want your sweat to count for something... Let's seperate the wheat from the chaff. People should actually know the value of what they are buying... I cannot be selling my staked, mulched, and organic cucumbers at the same price as the person who just threw seeds in the ground and let them sprout.

If you have a product that you think is worth it, just contact me. And we will be more than happy to have your products in VEGOLAS.

Funny thing was our prices were unbeatable, we were making a killing as farmers. We discovered that the middlemen have been ripping us off all along! Lol

Our customers couldn't believe the prices of the things on the shelves... Farmer happy, Consumer happy, middleman hungry

EIGHT! This is the number of young brilliant minds that make up our Marketing/Analysis team. They bought into the vision of what we want to achieve and have dedicated their time and Resources in Pushing this products directly to the consumers... The results have been nothing short of brilliant!
With our customer base growing daily, VEGOLAS is proving to be the right move

So... A lot of people have asked me why I opened the first VEGOLAS prototype store in benin.

The answer is that Benin is central, to the east, West, south and Middle belt which are the major zones my farmer friends are Located...

On the 1st of october, we opened with 32 different fruits and veggies from over 20 different farmers, some of whom were present to interact with the consumers...

The stage has been set. VEGOLAS has come to stay.
Being that it is the first of its kind, There were a lot of challenges in setting up and logiatics but we believe before we Launch Lagos, Abuja and Port harcourt soon, we will overcome them all.

Remember early this year, I posted I wanted to quit farming this year?

I received a lot of calls from my concerned followers persuading me not to quit! Lol

Well, we took a step into the future as we Launched VEGOLAS.

VEGOLAS is a platform we are developing where farmers can sell their products directly to the end user in a healthy environment. No long chains, No middleman.

To me as a farmer, VEGOLAS is very important, because it offers me the opportunity to sell my products to the end users. When I remember the stress and protocol I go through to produce neat, healthy and high quality products. it bleeds my heart, taking my PREMIUM products to a place as dirty and as smelly as open markets like mile12, Sabo market, Relief market and Oba market. It just hurts, Really!

I can't complain forever, Really. I cannot complain. I have to step up and find solutions to my problems. and that was how VEGOLAS was born. First Stop: Benin city, Edo state

Goodluck...

My boy, GASCA. Male Boerboel. Got him as an adult. Very solid dog with Good temperament

xij38580:
Thank you for teaching me a new term. Overtime, I've learnt to always choose institutions over individuals. Generally speaking, businesses ought to outlive people. I would like to see something like a publicly traded agriculture fund where proceeds go directly into investment in farmers and agriculture. Nigeria is all about diversification theses days, however, diversification for it to happen would require some big numbers which most small farms might not be able to produce given the skill and capital requirement.

Thanks !!!

Your submission makes sense but is a bit flawed... Individuals build institutions. If Nigerians don't invest in individuals How do you think such institutions will be established

loveson200:
Hello guys
You all recall Bobbysaxy's Hallelujah puppy? Pixes at exactly 8 months.

weldone sir, you have done an excellent job so far.

tunene66:
Good one

Thanks bro

Working directly with me can be fun... Because we get to try out things for the first time together... Like the yellow watermelon produced by previous Trainee staff I have been associated with.
And other things they produced just for fun.

Yummy!

Kalusam:
Weldon Jay, Will put it up on blog now...hope some 'right hearted' youth reads it and act, rather than wait for government!

Thanks bro... Youths in Nigeria need to wake up. and forget all this their APC/PDP inclinations and face the matter on ground.

You might know someone who needs this. There is available accomodation for 5 Trainee staff in the farm. With free transportation from Jireh House to Farm daily.

From the success story from our Last Jireh Training. We are encouraged to bring in another one.
You have the opportunity to learn directly from me, on how to successfully farm each of the following:
Watermelon
Cucumber
Green beanls
Green pepper
Cabbage
SweetCorn
Lettuce e.t.c
Training is for 3 months; after which you can decide to work with us and be a member of Team Jireh.
