I doubt if you have ever been into business before

How can an able bodied man say business is not all about money. .

Dude in capitalist economy business is all about profit making ..ask Facebook and Microsoft

How can you say such

If you don't make money in businesses how do you handle your overhead

Are you running a charity facility ?

Why am I discussing this with you..such a funny reason

Did you ever came across basic economics in secondary school

Change your orientation

There is no free lunch even in Freetown

Oh, please! To maximize profit doesn't necessarily mean it is all about money. A process most come into play before that money will continue to flow. Now, go back to that dark corner you crawl out of, bro!

Grammar

To maximize profit isn't money then what is it...paper

Paper will pay your running cost

DUDE I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I WILL GIVE YOU BASIC BUSINESS PRINCIPLE AND IT IS THIS....

MINIMIZE COST AND MAXIMIZE PROFIT..THAT is the AIM OF EVERY BUSINESS UNLESS YOUR RUNNING AN NGO..

I don't think you get it. the reason why he is making the money is for the theme which is limited and if he doesn't innovate that money to pay for running cost won't come. Make use of your brain for once, bro!

Dude

Your run in circles

Take it leave it

In a capitalist setting like Nigeria ..the basic aim if any business is just profit as simple as that ....

Let me help you out a bit

You can say that he can plough back or reinvest a percentage if his profit for research and development that would be understood but i think you are finding it a bit hard to present your views

Profit is the main aim of ant Enterprise
I am just done

You are the dumb person here. It is not all about money when you can't innovate to keep the business running. Money alone doesn't make the business which is different from profit(that is old capitalist idea) while leaving out of factors which influence the profit like demand, taste, innovations(which can affect the two former factors), etc. You are still talking about profit yet forget about economics 101. Please, you aren't talking about real world phenomenon! You are only running around what you read from the 10th grade economics book!

He recalled that immediately after his secondary school education at Igbinedion Secondary School, Benin City, his sole ambition was to travel to the United States to seek the proverbial greener pastures, and never exactly planned to venture into the toy business.

Though this guy is made now but he shouldnt add salt and maggi to his story, i grew up in benin and was in secondary school too at that period. Igbinedion Secondary School, Benin City was meant for the kids with the richest parents then and from his account it seems he was a struggling kid. so why the conflicting charaters?

Stop making a fooool of yourself repeatedly ..how can you keep a businesses running without making money ..you can't run a business in a long time successfully if it is not making profit which is money..

That is innovation and I know i made it clear to him which is research and development but the mab wants his dolls that way so l told him also that is a marketing strategy ..he doesn't want to copy just to be unique

Now many Teddy bears talk
How many Barbie dolls talk


I got mad with him when he said business is not about profits

Anyway, I don't care about tribes ... I care for one Nigeria. Look at the super Eagles, they have won trophies when they play as a one Nigeria team ..... #sayNoToTribalism

my brother Igbos don't think like that. We have seen president come from the six regions but SE. Tell me the state in Nigeria that is better than any state in The SE. I am an entrepreneur. I never thought of any salary work during my university days. I have never written application for job in my life. Telling you I have been successful might seem boastful but I give glory to God for creating me an Igbo man.

Any policy by any government against any Igbo business is killing the whole country and it will keep taking Nigeria back.
Proudly Igbo.
well may God expand your business

Who said you can keep a business running without money? Please, quote where I said that or remain silent like a zombie! You lack comprehension though. He needs to innovate to secure the business because it is not ALL about money. You really don't know a thing about what I am saying. It is not ALL about money and stop talking about profit if you don't know what it means. Learn to different money from profit for once. Profit at time is not even in monetary value, it could be in forms of bond, etc. One is generally a means to the other but through some processes. You are a daft person, dude!

That is one of the reasons why some businesses don't last long. Another person with good innovative mind might take the stage and outdone him. The earlier he takes to innovative ideas for his toy business the better for him to secure it. It is not always about the money but about the future of the business.

I really don't get it when someone comments the way you just did. It was clearly highlighted that the fellow is a graduate of LBS, and that he transferred his knowledge into his business. Do you really understand what it means to acquire an MBA from LBS? How can you make comments about a business from the periphery? You are making a judgement based on little information and a picture, and trying to sound like an authority on business!! Please, try some modesty and learn when to give praise even when you suspect some misalignment- its the quality of a true gentleman, and a man who will succeed in his own personal endeavour!!!

How did you come up with the assumption that he is not innovating? Do you truly know what innovation is? Have you read his business plan? Do you know what his projections are? Have you conducted a true market analysis to find out if there is a misalignment in his strategy? Do you know his market penetration strategy? What are his short-term, mid-term and long term plans? Bros, if you cant answer these questions. eat humble pie and zip that mouth! The only thing allowed right now is praise for the guy...criticism should be based on information!! Correct me if I am right!! Lol
