If you have been to a business class, you will understand that its all about offers and not how good or bad a given idea is.

We are not succeeding in coming together to do things just for one reason - we lack the knowledge of building businesses.

Some factors are militating against us, these include:-
* instant gratification
* zero long term vision
* lack of real and near role model - someone makes it in life and you ask him why he/she is making it, the answer is ...na God. How zero explanation.

1. the Bank Gives Loan Not Grant... and A Loan is Guarded By Assets And ROI... so i feel no1. is not institution problem but the mans Lacks Network and Lacks wit and determination....

2. It is a Risk to trust but most time the Risk is worth taking after Calculative Analysis.... i would explain more on this if you ask me to....

3. this has noting to do with team development... INTEREST COMES FIRST... LIKE MINDED PEOPLE WITH SAME GOAL.... YOU DON FORCE ELSE YOU LOOSE

4.

5. IT HAPPENS even to the greatest Entrepreneur thats why you go for Market testing before selling your product and most time you cant be good in all Areas... that falls back to TEAM WORK.....

6. THere is no UNREALISTIC IDEA... AS long you are ready and sure that your idea can cope up on the MArket trend... i could explain this more if you ask for it....

7. The simply lacked Determination Thats just the fact... so many people fall daily but ONLY A FEW COMES BACK.... "DONALD TRUMP"

8. THats simply A man Without Guts and Determination... he Lacks the Quality Of a Goal Setter an Entrepreneur and he Shouldn't have venture in the First place...

Finally i would say Am Astound by what Business Man You Would Be... Money doesn't Build business... Passion and Determination does....

if You are Determined Money would be only an Obstacle... And Obstacle only Makes you Stronger... and Increases your Financial Thinking... that's what determined Mind is Like... Not a Money Minded Guts... please i would Advice You Go back And try to Study More on Financial Literacy It really helps

A team is not necessary Its Essential

For successful Entrepreneur......

It can be argued that colonisation effect put Nigeria in a unique place in the poverty food chain.
The other reasons why the poor working class and poorest class fail to collaborate and move out of poverty is universal.

kensandrea:

If you have genuine biz idea and you want partners let me know.This is 2016,any biz venture should be backed up legally and partners have to be honest because he that seek equity must have clean hands.

naijacutee:
Nigeria is a ver low trust society - especially as we have been colonially brainwashed to section ourselves into tribes and operate under an "insiders" vs "outsiders" mentality. The best performing teams I have seen have had at least one or more members exposed to a different society to 'reset' their brains.

jpjohn:
More explanation from my previous reply:
Class culture reproduction I think is a close phrase to help me explain better. Indoctrination of attitudes that do not allow the ideal situation of adequate collaboration, making deals and having wealthy lifestyles happen continually. It's big in Nigeria because the poor and working class forms greater proportion when compared to the western societies, and the dominance is such that it may be infesting the middle class too. Someone made a comment on gratification and yes, the working class attitude to reward is very different to the richer ones. All round even, the position of the poorer class makes them at odds to collaborate effectively and it tends to persist through reproduction. Only a positive attitude against all odds will afford the poor an opportunity to collaborate successfully. For example, with the wrong attitude, the poor may look at the deal broker with some contempt, thinking that the result will always put them at the victims end. Worst still keeping aside money for investment is hard or even alien to some poor people.
To some people it's never going to work, is their mindset so it never works for them.

So how does Colonialism come in?
It does because the institutions setup by the colonisers glorified working class roles and this was going to be a trap for a lot of people so they fail to channel their creativity to collective communal good which was obtainable in most of our precolonial societies.
Individual archievements are seen as the way to success and this shaped the working class behaviour. The non working class poor are constantly trying to learn from the glorified false attractive lifestyle of the working class.
Thinking about this, my intention was not to give an excuse for the Nigerian colonised in this case but to point out that we unlearned some of the good precolonial culture and while building on the infused culture we have now, we could relearn how our precolonial communities could have provided better community if it were allowed to grow on their own values.

kensandrea:
the question is goes this way why is very difficult for we Nigerians to come together when we have similar idea and limited resources and experience to form a cooperation or a team ?

i have seen this in so many sector... and in so many individuals... i have come across Everybody Wants to OWN it YET NOBODY HAS IT....

Everybody Want to get it all yet Most even fail to Acquire a little... and even on the long they still dont learn from history...

MY QUESTION IS THAT WHY IS IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR NIGERIANS WITH SAME IDEA COME TOGETHER AND FORM A FORMIDABLE TEAM

PLEASE I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR VIEW
