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.

What location? Your contact too.

I'm interested please drop your contact or email

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?
