OFPSB

It's been months since I started the distribution of garri. The challenges can cause heartache but somehow I see myself solving them without panic.

There are days my trailers delay in going to pack them from the market (they go for commercial purposes too), and because leaving them like that is not safe, they pack them to the main road of the market to sell to those going into the market to buy. Either at the same cost or with a maximum of 200 naira profit per bag. Strategy.

There are days we buy at a certain price and by the time we get to the market where we sell, the price has dropped DRASTICALLY. I quickly call far north where there is still hikes and go there to sell. Strategy.

I have 1,392 people partnering with me in garri. Two groups. Wednesday and Sunday. I have an excel sheet that contains everyone's name and amount. My suppliers share these lists among themselves to make sure they know how many bags each partner's money could afford. To avoid either under share the bags among them or overshare. Strategy.

When I go to the market and I see other distributors, I reduce the cost and make little profit but fast sales. Strategy.

When demand is high and it requires me to take in new people, the WhatsApp group is limited to 257 people, I multiply the minimum amount to partner with by 257 people, check the amount needed to meet up the demand, and take the number of people that can meet up with 70% of what I need and expect the remaining 30% from top-up from existing partners. This is one of the reasons we have payment policy. TIME. IF YOU DON'T MEET UP THAT'S ALL. Strategy.

I do schedule payment. Once I credit my suppliers, there is no way I will accept money from you. No matter the amount. Then print out the excel sheet of the newly added fund and send it to my suppliers. Then they know how much each person has added. Strategy.

About OFPSB

It's not an INVESTMENT PLATFORM.
People don't give us money to get a certain percentage monthly.
We don't look for investors.

OFPSB totally depends on foodstuff distribution and storage of non-perishable crops.
We do partnership with people ONLY WHE THE NEEDS ARISE.
This is why we often tell people that there is no opening or space.
We set a target of distributing a certain quantity of foodstuff and we set a limit. Once we reach that limit, even if you are coming with 100 million, we won't accept.

We don't take more than we can handle.

What we do is basically PARTNERSHIP. This is why we always say that there is NO ESTIMATED PROFIT.
MARKET COST DETERMINES OUR OPERATION.

WHAT WE DO?

> We look at foodstuff in places where they are cheap and sell where they are expensive.

> We buy foodstuff when they are cheap (harvest season) and sell when they are expensive (planting season).

WE ARE NOT ASKING PEOPLE TO GIVE US MONEY TO FUND A PROJECT.

WE ARE NOT ASKING PEOPLE TO BRING TWO PEOPLE TO COLLECT A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY BRAND AMBASSADORS ANYWHERE.

I, Ovaioza call for partnership and people do. Bearing in mind that what we do is buying and selling while we share the profit and I give them their capital unless they want to keep partnering till I stop.
If you have done business with me, you would know that I am very strict with my business and money.

All money entrusted goes to goods and is returned as ad when due. My business partners can always get their money.

We don't do INVESTMENT.
WE DO PARTNERSHIPS.
If you are doing business with me, you are NOT MY INVESTOR. YOU ARE MY BUSINESS PARTNER. YOU ARE PARTNERING WITH ME.

WE DON'T ASK PEOPLE TO PROVIDE HELP AND GET HELP.
WE DO SUPPLIES.

We are clearing this land, some of our farmlands in preparation for our garri factory.
