Avoiding fraudsters in agric investments

agric investments

One of the positive sides of the period of lockdown across the country, brought about by the global Covid-19 pandemic, is the increasing need for food security. During this trying period several people had to swallow their pride; climb down from their high horses and see the wisdom inherent in productive agricultural practices.

The drawback however, is the lack of access to arable land, especially in the urban cities. Other factors that have posed challenges over the years include lack of long-term loans of single-digit interest rates, non- provision of early-maturing, disease-resistant and high-yielding hybrid seedlings as well as herbicides and pesticides. The increasing threat of insecurity, lack of training and knowledge of technologically-driven agric practices, even to those who have fertile farmlands at their disposal, have also contributed to the fluctuating fortunes in agriculture.

Given this background, several people have come up with investment proposals, promising mouth-watering returns on investment and within a short period of time. While some have stood the test of time based on integrity, keeping to professional ethics, probity and accountability, others have only come to reap where they never sowed!

From independent investigations many investors are crying over the wrong investments they have made. They should have ensured that they had direct contact with the so called investors, checked on their background and involve legal practitioners to put pen on paper before doling out their hard-earned resourcesto people of spurious character.

We have therefore, started to find out from some wise investors who have been smiling to the bank, how and what they did to get it right. Incidentally, all our respondents we have spoken with are investors in the wave-making Xtralarge Farms, and they have some sweet songs to sing. Let us check them out.

 

Farmer Paul Amos Enakireru

“I am a retired civil servant. I get to know about Xtralarge Farms in March, 2018 via Whatsapp. After reading through the profile of the organisation I got convinced that I was with the right people.

“I visited their office at Allen Avenue, Ikeja, Lagos and invested into packages such as colony, super farmers, carrot oil, smart colony, cassava slot, chicken investment, Xtralarge produce processing investment (XPPI), groundout oil, pineapple farms, fish project and even real estates.

“They have all been beneficial to me. I have received practical training in the field of agriculture. Xtralarge is indeed a unique organisation built on a solid foundation. They are known for their high integrity. Whatever commitment they make, they deliver. I will advise anyone that wants to invest in a sure place to always think Xtralarge

“It is a place you will put your money and go to sleep with your two eyes closed. I continue to wish that the company grow from strength to strength. Please, I will also like you to know that my family’s healthy lifestyle has been enhanced by Xtralarge food because of its pure, organic nature and I strongly recommend it to anyone that values healthy living. I endeavour to eat healthy, live healthy and I am making money through Xtralarge by farming easy”.

 

Farmer Yetunde Oladipupo (popularly called Governor Yetycom)

“Though formerly a banker, I heard about Xtralarge Farms on radio. That was back in January, 2018. My first investment was agric estate, then recession plan, super farmer fish project, VIP plantain, carrot oil, cassava and groundnut oil packages”.

Plantain Project:

“I will like to encourage anyone seeking good, sure returns on investment to come join Xtralarge. It is a place of undiluted integrity. No stories, no excuses. You get your ROI latest on due date, mostly before the due date. I have different opportunities to make money via investment, super dealership, school excursion, food club, unilevel, foodie agent and so on.It’s a place to farm easy.

“Xtralarge is a place of health, security and financial liberation. You have access to quality organic foods that improve your health and wellbeing.I is grateful to God who brought me to Xtralarge Farms”.

Name: Farmer Toyin Labinjo (aka Lady Owo),

”I am a retired banker of three and a half decades experience, and a farmer with Xtralarge Farms. I joined Xtralarge in 2018, and I will say I have benefited and still benefiting in almost all the 10 cardinal benefits of Xtralarge.

“I pursued the investment packages with all vigour as that was my main target. With time my interest grew on the food network/the organic foods as I watch at every weekly seminar as members cart away lots of food items for their various step-out bonus. In fact, the farmers are always getting value and extra benefits   for telling others more about Xtralarge Farms.

“Presently, I am at the community stage on the Food Network Club, heading shortly for the National stage and I can’t wait to collect the keys to my 3 bedroom bungalow. I have all my members of my family registered with this great company and they are all doing great on their various chosen areas.

“I ensure that I get a bite of any of investment package whenever they are released no matter how small. I can proudly say that ‘Xtralarge Never Fails’. The integrity and transparency of this great organisation is second to none and this is very endearing to my heart. This has been tested and proven with uninterrupted alerts before due dates of the investment packages since I joined. Even amidst COVID-19 Pandemic, alerts still came on the 22nd of the month. Alerts still rained on the 22nd of June as against 30th of the month. In Nigeria such is very rear!

“As a pensioner/farmer, I enjoy my pension and almost monthly the passive income comes from Xtralarge Farms. You can do this too, spread the investment across months and you enjoy this endless and ever consistent passive income from Xtralarge Farms.

“I call it Plan B. That is,while you are still the doctor, engineer, banker, chemist, architect, lawyer, teacher, lecturer, or whatever profession you can still be the farmer!Try and put in place a Plan B for your retirement and continuous survival. Xtralarge could be the answer now.

It worked for me though I joined after retirement, it could work better for you too. With Xtralarge, they under-promise and over-deliver. They never promised me an all- expenses paid trip to Dubai when I joined them with ₦5,800.00 but I got it. Xtralarge added to my international experience with an all-expenses paid nine days trip to the UAE, and all that was required was my passport and my luggage. We stayed in a five-star hotel with all it luxury and splendour. What an experience!

“Presently, I am a super dealer with the company and it’s a super experience for me. I comb the Lekki axis and other parts of the mainland with our organic and healthy food products, and enjoy dealership incomes round the year. The community will always ask for a repeat, buy of the products once they have a taste of them.

“Ours is a place to be. This is a decision well taken for me.No regrets at all. As we, the farmers here say,’ Xtralarge Farm is 100 percent. Farm easy. Eat healthy. Live healthy. Make money! Money making is an endless venture with Xtralarge.”

Now that you have read the inspiring testimonies from the horses’ mouth, the choice is yours.
