Before blaming government or blaming 'Nigeria', as is the usual reaction, each and everyone of you should ask yourself ''why am I not manufacturing and packaging fruit juice in my backyard and selling to the public?''

COULD BE PRETTY TRUE ,U KNOW?BIN lodging in an hotel here in fct since 4days now,and all i hav bin drinkin is just chivita juice all day(since i do not take alcohol)

ROSSIKE:
''why am I not manufacturing and packaging fruit juice in my backyard and selling to the public?''

Lack of consistent power supply(I'll have to generate my own electricity), lack of access to loans(in case you don't know, production is very capital intensive), bad roads(ill spend more money maintaining vehicles), HIGH cost of registering with NAFDAC etc

PS: kindly upload pictures of your own fruit juice manufacturing and packaging set up in YOUR backyard.
