50% FARM RETURNS in 6Months is What You Promise When You Are Idealistic, Excited, Ignorant, Naive & Expect Leadership To Behalf Like Human Beings in Understanding How to Maximize The Farm Agro Value Chain.
I WAS NAIVE and all of The Above!

When I Got The Call Yesterday
2. From a Supposedly Capable Crowd funding Platform to Invest N500m in The Farm but That They Have Offered 50% in 6Months to Their Investors and I Will Have to Give Them 55% as They Have No Farm or Land Yet and Need to put the Money to use as The Current Valuation in USD
3. Makes it Dangerous for Them Particularly With The Vulnerability of the USD$ Due to the Elections in November, 2020. I Was Not Puzzled, Surprised or Shocked. I Was Worried and Felt Pity Because What They Have Not Seen Today, I Had Experienced Yesterday.
4. The Nigeria Farmer is Battling and Struggling to Make 20% today in an Farming Cycle due to several Militating Factors. Like I Posted This Morning, #FARMING in Crop Cultivation in Nigeria Today is Not Profitable. The Seed Yield Are Mostly Below Average,
5. Fertilizers Are Not Prime, Farm Education is Zero, Govt is Not Helpful & The Market is Not Structured.

The Farmer is a Seed Producer, He is Into Fertilizer Production, He Has To Become a Banker or Raise Money at Rates That are Impossible, He Must Generate Power,
6. Build Warehouses to Hold The Little Harvest Until Price is Right and Then Seek Market by Himself. The Cost of Production is Insane and Interventions are only Available to Farmers in Hotels in Abuja and Lagos.

So When We Told The Crowd funding Platform That Offered
7. to Invest N500m for 55% That The Best We Will do is 18% in 6Months, They Told Me I Was Unfair and not Wanting to Help Upcomers and Startups so they Will Head Elswehere. A Project like #NFGCSFARMS That has Battled and Struggled Daily to Build Value Because
8. WE Saw Between 2017 and 2018 That Without Value We Will Die in 5years to Advise and You Feel I Was not Interested in Helping Means You are not Interested in Learning from the Reality of our Struggles.

Dear #FARMERS, NFGCS is a Guinea Pig of Experiment for Upstarters.
9. We are to Suffer in Learning The Ropes for a Generation of Farmers to Be Inspired to Dare and Farm. @kiakia_co That Understand Micro Rural Farm Financing Are Not Supported Enough to Make Access to Funding Easier For Rural Farmers Like us. Experience and Seasoned Players
10. Like Nurudeen Toba Tiamiyu are Ignored For Political Farmers With no Interest in Real Sectorial Growth but a Disdain for Localization and an Insatiable Appetite for More Imports. The Mistakes Nigeria Made With Crude Oil is Currently Being Repeated With Agriculture.
11. All Over, You Have So Many Educating us on Farming for Export to Earn USD$ When There are 200million Nigerians Sitting on 84million Arable Hectares of Farmland With an Average Population Age of 19years Old. We are The Generation of Nigerians That Can Make Real Developmental
12. Progress if We are Ready 2Work and Get Our Hands Dirty With The Sand of #NIGERIAFIRST, #NIGERIAONLY & #NIGERIALWAYS!

Meanwhile, Like Ade Damola Was Puzzled Yesterday With Erica of BBNaija Gofundme Project. How Ordinary Nigerians Take Raise N500m in This Pandemic Shock Me?
13. I Guess Appealing 2Greed is a Way of Getting So Many of Our People 2Spend The Loots or Waste The Savings? I Just Don't Get it.

#4DRECORDS, I Did not Take the Offer B'cos I WAN WELL!
