Good morning everyone, Late last year, I bought 5 acres of farmland from ijebu -Igbo from him on behalf of a friend while I also bought 2 acres for myself. Prior to then, I took time out to go view the farmland, met Lesgupnigeria in person and also interact with him one-on-one. Since January I kept asking him when preparation for the farmland will start and he kept telling me it is not time yet. Along the line, I had a medical need that requires me to keep going to the hospital and so couldn’t have time, so I asked Lesgupnigeria (Mr Wale) about managing the farms for both myself and my friend. He said we will need to sign the farm management agreement. He sent it to us and I signed mine but my friend delayed a bit but eventually signed his but Mr Wale has not forwarded back his own signed copy despite asking him severally. Below are my issues with him.

1. I paid for 7 acres, when we brought our own surveyor, only 5 acres was seen.

2. ⁠I paid for clearing which was charged at N55,000 per acre and an extra N10,000 for packing and burning what was cleared. The clearing was shabbily done, it didn’t even look like it was cleared at all. The packing and burning wasn’t done. He said because it rained and that instead shrubs were cut for N180,000 and he used the N70,000 meant for packing and burning for that and was even asking for an extra N110,000 saying we owed him that. Pls note that he never asked me if he could go ahead and do that. He didn’t ask me if the funds was available for that, yet he went ahead, against our initial agreement and expect me to cough out N110,000. Moreso, if clearing was done properly, “shrubs” like he put it should have been cleared with it.

3. ⁠He said we will pay for perimeter survey, later he called it perimeter measurement and we were charged at N40,000 per acre which totalled N280,000 altogether which was paid. When I went there, all that was used as landmark was a tree standing on its own o which Mr Wale showed me. I have a video of that. I complained but nothing was done. No provisional copy given for the perimeter measurement. How come?

4. ⁠Lesgupnigeria rushed me to say if we don’t plant by June ending that we will need to do irrigation, and said we will need to plant 1,000 suckers on each acre, and he said per sucker is N270 so i paid N1,890,000 ( One million, eight hundred and ninety thousand naira) for suckers. There was no evidence of that when I asked. No video evidence to show the vehicle bringing the suckers or the suckers being offloaded. he got offended for asking him for evidence. Note that he also charged me N300,000 for transporting the suckers from Ibadan to the farm. At the farm, the suckers planted is not up to 7,000 from my assessment. I challenge him to prove me wrong.

5. ⁠Lesgupnigeria (Mr Wale) also told me that I will need 5 bags of fertiliser at the rate of N14,000 each which totalled N70,000 as well as an extra N15,000 for transporting it to the farm. He said the fertiliser will be used as they were planting the suckers. Pls house, is this done this way?

Doubts started arising when Mr Wale couldn’t provided some evidences I requested for. He also started ignoring my calls sometimes. He started getting less cordial. My friend wasnt happy with the feedbacks I was giving so we had to make an arrangement for a different surveyor and that was when we discovered the farmland isn’t up to 7 acres. I sent Mr Wale a message but he didn’t respond for 3 days.

Then I was advised to call him on phone. He claimed I didn’t know where my farmland ended. Ok now show me, but he has been playing games with me since then. Now he is saying he won’t be available to show me the farmland but that he has delegated someone else to show me. It is not like he has ever introduced me to anyone before. He never gave me anyone’s number so is it a ghost that will show me my farm?

I called him severally yesterday morning, he didn’t pick nor return my calls. I had to call him again in the evening before he picked the call on the 8th dial and his excuse was that he left his phone in the car. Smh! You left your phone in the car since morning? A phone with a sim line that you use for your daily calls, WhatsApp etc?

He gives the impression that he has workers but I don’t think he does. He makes you pay for farmland and thereafter become less cordial with you. HE IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED!!!

I am challenging him to show me my farmland and also show that he planted 7,000 suckers on 7 acres.

If not stolen government money, agbero, and heavy taxes imposed on non-natives, how else would people from that part of the country survive?

Do not do business with anyone that doesn't have physical place of business operations. If you had his business address, you could have long involved the police

You ignored too many red flags.
If he's not cooperating, drag him to that Ibadan man's program... Oriyomi Hamzat. He'll learn the hard way.

So, have all the issues with this Ijebu-Igbo farmland been resolved since your August 2024 post? Cheers.

No it hasn’t.

His response to your question coupled with the fact that the accused did not even deem it fit to respond to the allegations levelled against him over 3 months ago shows the accused has no conscience. They hav taken scamming to another level, this is very sad and unfortunate! He is supposed to be among the old members of this forum that the newbies should be looking up to as role model.

I am aware that you too are one of the victims of Jethro's cassava cluster farming/cooperative society scandal that year. Both Lesgup and Jethro are foundational members of this forum that should have written their names in the hall of fame like the likes of world1, hotmas911, Jasper and the likes whose names are not associated with scandal.
Hope Jethro was able to refund you guys after her encounter with the EFCC?

You seriously need to have your head examined. A screw is missing somewhere there making you schizophrenic

You ignored obvious red flags!
Too bad for some people as it regards Trust.
No nations can progress with Distrusts all over!

Thanks for putting this out. I know someone who is planning to do business with him, your post will save others from falling victim

Lesgupnigeria isn't to be trusted na

You should have gone through some posts here talking about Him.

Online Farmer with no experience.

Moreso you don't give anyone money to manage a Farm for you.

I tried to check on here to see if there was any bad review about him but I didn’t. If I had seen any, I would never have had any dealings with him. I feel like a mod here is helping him in one way or the other.
