FarmKonnect

FarmKonnect was founded on the vibrant idea of Agricultural Real Estate (AgRE), with a strong belief in nurturing and empowering youth in the field of agriculture. While I take responsibility for my decisions, FarmKonnect encountered significant setbacks and incurred substantial losses due to various uncontrollable factors, notably the impact of COVID-19 and other unforeseen challenges. These circumstances were not fully understood by the Board, resulting in the resignation of 43% of its members, including the Chairman. The dissolution of the Board shattered the hopes and aspirations of FarmKonnect, putting the dreams and vision at risk of being forgotten.

However, my commitment to the investors, particularly the big investors and the military personnel (who serve the nation despite being undercompensated), compelled me to fight and revive the business. In the face of severe malicious attacks, including physical assaults, murder attempts, and kidnapping incidents, my name was tarnished on the internet, and I was falsely declared wanted by the FCID, amplified by some of the former directors. These setbacks significantly hindered our ability to rebound and jeopardized both the company and its investors. Multiple legal battles and oppressive actions ensued.

Despite these challenges, I made it my duty to focus on the growth and success of the business. While FarmKonnect encountered difficulties, I firmly believe that it is not a failure but rather a challenge that can be overcome. With resilience and determination, we are working towards surmounting these obstacles and revitalizing the vision of FarmKonnect.

AFIDE

AFIDE, a simple cooperative savings model, aimed to revolutionize the way Nigerians contribute and save money by channeling those funds into agricultural projects. Unlike traditional methods that withdraw money from the economy, AFIDE allowed daily earners to save and earn from agricultural ventures while contributing to the growth of the sector.

The model was tested over a period of 54 months with 300 members and experienced remarkable success, leading to an exponential growth in membership to 7,000 within just three months. This significant expansion prompted plans to upgrade the system to accommodate the growing demand. However, unforeseen challenges arose when two top officials were discovered to be involved in fraudulent activities, triggering a cash run and creating a sense of mistrust among subscribers.

Unfortunately, this unfortunate series of events coincided with the challenges faced by FarmKonnect, further exacerbating the situation and resulting in violence and intolerance from certain subscribers. As a result, the company was forced to suspend its operations.

Despite the setbacks, there is a strong belief in reviving this noble fintech venture. AFIDE holds enormous potential with an estimated annual valuation of over 25 billion Naira if managed and operated effectively. The innovative concept of leveraging cooperative savings for agricultural projects has the power to transform the savings culture in Nigeria and contribute to the growth of the agricultural sector.

The revival of AFIDE requires careful planning, enhanced security measures, and a renewed commitment to transparency and accountability. By addressing the issues that led to its initial failure and implementing necessary safeguards, AFIDE can once again become a trusted platform for individuals to save, invest, and earn from agricultural ventures, fostering financial inclusion and contributing to the overall economic development of Nigeria.
