whiteroses: no one will want the cyber cafe service/too many .. i'll advise do not venture into business in Nigeria yet it will not work because you do not have the Gidi experience critical for business in naija, do you have any qualifications? you will do very well in an office otherwise if you can read and write you can get some admin jobs. If none of the above applies to you just sit at home and pound yam because there is no benefit in nigeria

Omg. Wtf did you just say ?

Not the hungry whites...

We only kidnap expatriates. The oil company type.

Unless madam is coming down to open a filling station or palm oil processing plant..

optimumprimus: I won't advice you to stay there for more than a month. dirty enviornment,poor esthetics, dirty stinking, ignorant people with bad body odour, loud noises ,religous bigots and hyprocrites, etc.
I just don't like the place . the people are a victim of their dirty environment. their mentality is warped . they make jokes about everything. they have no empathy or courtesy. it's common to find dead bodies on the road side in Nigeria ,and no one would care.
did you get ráped by a Nigerian? why the hate

I don't get the point?
Is it about bribery or kidnapping?
I am smart enough to hang out with people I know. I even drove in Nigeria. . That was the scariest part.. lol.. felt like I was driving amongst drunk people. . Lol.. no disrespect. .

why are u affraid of going into school business?that would av been the best for u.my inlaw is an indian and d fact that she is "white" makes her very successful in her school business.people rushes to send their kids to her school.thats is the best option for u.everybody are advicing u against cyber cafe and game center but u still insist.

nigeria is d faster growing country interm of ICT in africa.everybody owns a mobile fone or two,hence they have no need for cafe except if the wish to do registration or print some document.
school business or sachet water should be best for u,finally,becareful of scammers,inasmuch as we have sincere nigerians,we also have sincere scammers..my opinion!

someone is asking for suggestions on her business you're talking about kidnapping this is why people like you will never move forward senseless maggot

I don't respond to people you place emotions and sentiment over common sense. That you referred me as a useless maggot without knowing me is a pointer to how low your life is.

If you understand a comment you can ask for clarification. I won't be dragged low to your level.

No I don't mean kidnapping. Nigeria has a way of frustrating it's own talk more of a foreigner. I referred you to Richard Brandson experience in Nigeria.

[b] cyber cafe is a very bad idea. Almost everyone uses mobile and the ones with PCs have modems. You'll recieve very low patronage.

So also game stations. Most people prefer to have them at home these days. Gone are the days people used to flock to game centres.

I'll advise you to think up something that is very unique and has a very high need. Esp if it can be imported from your home country. At least you'd know the right places to get quality at the cheapest prices.

If you are worried about the import charges, then you can otherwise invest in something crude(raw materials/resources) here and turn it to a finished/semi finished product.

But, if you're not cut out for that kinda business, try out a hair salon. It never fails! You'll always have customers! And the 'White Woman owning a hair salon' here in naija factor could have a wowing effect at least for a while which could draw up a very good customer base.

If you're a good cook, then you could set up a restaurant and bring in exotic meals from your home country over here. Nigerians are very curious and usually want to try out new stuff.

All these are ideas for a SME and have a good chance of booming if managed properly. But think deeply though before making decisions though. I can only profer ideas, you have to make the choice. So think well.

Thank me later. smiley [/b]

I must really appreciate you for the boldness to leave your comfort zone to Nigeria with your family. Not many have such a heart; and since your family is involved , I raise my hat to you. you should know that relocating to Nigeria and adapting to a totally new environment wouldn't be an easy task much more the children but I believe with the open door nature of Nigerians, you will sure adapt in a jiffy. I would advise that you learn the rudiments of the language such as the greetings and pleasantries exchange e.t.c and also try to localize your fashion. I bet you;you will be accepted in the shortest possible time.
I want to believe that you are coming back with your husband and as such accommodation will be of less issue. As regards setting up a business, Nigeria is in a dire energy crisis and setting up an internet café will require constant off-grid power generation. however, internet operations are usually profitable in places of high traffic such as a tertiary institution. There exist several investment opportunities down here which I believe would be realized on entry and familiarization of your host community. I would advise however ( based on your area of specialization) to get a lecturing job in the tertiary institution there and you can also run your private business.
I wish you a wonderful stay in Nigeria.

The 1st decision you need to make is where to live, i will recommend Lagos or Abuja. Abuja is more serene, but i think business thrive better in Lagos

Come on. How can a grown-up say there is no benefit in Africa's most prosperous economy. Foreigners succeed here. A lot.

Hello, for the fact that you studied business in school is a big plus for you. Nigeria is all about business but you need to be very smart in order to withstand the pressure of doing business in Nigeria. Lack of constant power and dedication to work may be a little problem. Many young people here believe in getting rich quick without working so hard for it.

Notwithstanding though, your business would prosper but it strictly depends on the area where it is situated. So you must find a good place for it. Perhaps, not a very downtown. But slightly, so to speak. Ensure that you have steady power supply and pay your employees when due. This is absolutely important because no one is happy when he is owed. Your business center must be fully air-conditioned. Also, computers and other electronic appliances must work properly.

Though, returning home with your kids is a good idea but surely, they will find it difficult to adjust here. The weather would be so hot for them that they may not want to stay anymore. Honestly, you need to have a big heart. There are other places you can do business and make a huge profit, but I'm not going to sell my thoughts right now cheesy

Your English does not sound like a white woman. Perhaps, you've been Nigerialized cheesy
