Easier said than done..

Buterflyle0:


What a dolt.

I am solidly neck deep into the agric sector so I know what I am talking about.

I own my very own piggery which like these petty traders, I began with just one pregnant sow about 4 years ago and today its worth several millions with a good number of people under my employment and I just began expanding with an additional 12 hectares of land I just acquired for proper Agricultural diversification.

I said the above so you would know I understand their plight because I have been there and done that.

I talk about myself all the time and use it to encourage people who like you and the other guy look down at small beginnings.

I speak from a place of humility because I know how I began. You can keep weeping in pains over the joy these petty traders are expressing for being remembered for the first time by the FG.

Nobody said it is easy to leave but people do it every minutes. You either fix you or complain for the rest of your life. My 2 cents.


I am not complaining biko.. I made a statement doesn't make me complain..

this mama and her fellow trader thou

Mankosi:
no need for all the long grammar. The question now is, did u start with 10k? Pls Tell the truth and How much did u start with? Also compare that amount u started with with what's obtainable then and what's obtainable in nigeria today and tell me whether 10k is still money in nigeria of today.
Let me just tell u sth, those market women are just happy because they see it as a free money coming from federal govt and I can tell u that money is going to their children school to be paid as school fees cos the term just started so if u are thinking they will use it to grow their business then u are wrong because even the market women in question know that that amount is not even enough to buy their children's food for a week letalone buying goods that will make their business grow. I just Hope u don't pay ur workers 10k? That's if truly u have because that amount don't have value again in nigeria today

ritylove:
this is how we will celebrate when buhari finally decents from presidency

Munzy14:

10,000?? you are sick honestly. wat tangible business thrives on 10k. damn!. Only one who leaves in pernury thinks 10k is big money. I doubt if u are a working class. u must be a student or fresh graduates who are still feeding from counted money from parents.

Buterflyle0:


You have a very little mind and this flaw of yours is what makes the difference between the rich and the poor. The rich are mindful of every kobo while the poor are careless over 1k.

The rich understand the significance of 100k -1 naira and know that 99k is not same as 100k so every kobo counts but to poor minded people like you, you are full of wastage.

I began with almost 40k from the back of my house in a makeshift shelter I built myself despite not being a carpenter.

My capital was based on what I wanted to do. A petty trader who sells pepper or tomotoes or Okro or groundnuts would not require that much capital.

In fact there are people who began their own business by first selling for others while accruing their profits until it was large enough for them to stand on their own even if it would be in a small way.

The main capital everyone must have IS A STRONG WILL.

WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY.

Capital is just an addition. Ones will is everything.

10k is still a good amount of money to start a petty biz with or even grow one.

If you need some lessons on how to grow from zero, let me know and I would be glad to offer you tips for free.

stop thinking like a slave to money. Think like an entrepreneur to whom money is a tool.

Mankosi:
let's just say u don't have responsibilities then that's why it was possible for u. Look at those women in that picture and tell me whether there's anyone there that looks like she don't have who she's catering for. If U want to achieve it that way then u have to deny urself a lot of things and those women have children so do u expect them not to solve their children's problems because they want to use the little profits they make to make more profits? It can only work if u don't have people that depend on u bro. As for those market women they have people that depend on them big time and that's why that money will not do anything thing for them. I am sure u don't have responsibilities when u started with less than 40k because if u do u won't be saying all these.

Well good thing I am not lying to myself then.

Goodluck with your lean life

tstx:

Munzy14:

Buterflyle0:


I repeat lean life! If it hurts you, then do something about it!

Stop disturbing me with your comments. I was never as frustrated as you currently are, not even years ago.

Munzy14:

hahahahaha.... Read slowly and digest. never lie to urself. You still have time to turn a green leaf.
Some of us are more equal than others.

Buterflyle0:


You sit there and in your imagination and assume i don't have responsibilities

The way people reason here on nairaland is amazing. They actually want you to believe they know you.more than you know yourself so can also think for you.

If I tell you the number of people who depend on me you would never wish to be me.

Oga park well and stop talking anyhow over what you know absolutely nothing about

true talk from someone who has been there. You really know what you're talking about. There's money in the informal sector but a lot of educated peeps consider it demeaning.

pafisayo:


Lol you Got time!!!
People believe what ever it is they wanna believe.
Anyone with a refrigerator can start selling solo coke or soft drink with 10k .
The solo coke sprit Fanta is packed 12pieces .
1pack containing 12pieces of coke goes for 850naira

10 packs will cost 8500naira

Transportation to where ever it is one decides to get the drinks 500naira at most .

10packs will equal 120bottles of solo coke/Fanta etc
120 bottles of solo Coke/Fanta is sold for 100 naira each... that’s 12000naira .

That’s 3000naira profit... I think it would be safe to assume some of these young boys and girls sell Lore than 10packs daily in traffic .

Anyone with a good cooler and 500 ice block can sell 6-7 packs daily especially during dry season.

Some will definitely see the money as awuf! Some will maximize the opportunity’ while some will make a profit of 3k daily and do compulsory 1000naira contribution while at it.

10k can work magic thou but then we all have different opinions and we choose to believe what ever it is we find convinient.

stevups:

U called 10k ordinary? Well done sir!

ChiefAzubuike:
Only these division of people will dance o'er a paltry ten thousand naira.

Money wey no reach do anything tangible for Biafra.
