Great gamers,

You all have the ideas and most of us here have given it a try. Game business in Nigeria is good but economic situations are not favourable yet.

> I started this business as old as the late 80's. My first tournament was hosted at my 10yrs of age. Really challenging but i had great support to host it.
> Given the challenges of not keeping track of the income made by your staff, you might end up working for the board boys (your staff) and wound down.

> however, I continued to move on with this business and today, am a great successful gamer. but one thing is still missing. am not recognized. No Trophy, No award, nothing to add to my gallary.

> My talent is on games, just name it.

                        Chess, am very good
                        Monopoly, I play with real Naira and you know what that means
                        Scrabble, you will suffer to win me
                        Lawn tennis, I am a sampras
                        Snooker, I win cue you out in 2 chances
                        Above all, I am a GURU with PS no matter the software used and I dont set formations to play.

> moreso, our loved babes, girls, wives will see the potentials in us and stop harassing us especially when we play our addictive games e.g Soccer and adventure

> The competition has been slated and application ends 24th of June 2011. If you are interested to play the soccer competition log into www.dchallenger.net

> The competition will be in VI Lagos, this show will be on the media and given a red carpet at the grand Finale, its already on the jingles and flying. Several companies are calling in to showcase their products and believe me fellow gamers, you have opportunities to be signed into deals with companies like Redbull, Nigerian Breweries, Guinness, Coca Cola, Pepsi, etc for adverts.

> Let us all arise and grab this opportunity. Well D'Challenger is copyright and trademarked to avoid people like one of the telecommunication company in Naija hijacking the competition (Sorry to call name) but it was painful to see them hijack Lagos Street soccer competition my friend gave to them. Check it out. its true

The video game business is a money spinner, but it isn't legitimate in my honest opinion. Its dogged by the same problems faced by viewing centres who feed what is supposedly a meduim for private entertainment to the public for a fee.
So as a serious minded person u shud b asking urself how big do u want this to b in ten to fifteen years. What sort of problems would u anticipate by then.

playmode:
I am a 30 year old Nigerian who has been residing in South Africa for a couple of years now. I currently own and run a Video Games Store in the CBD of Johannesburg. My store consist of a Video Game's arcade section, A video game repair section and a sales section. I am a self trained Playstation3, Xbox 360 and Wii technician.

In the video Game's arcade section, customers can come and play their favourite game titles on any of my 10 consoles connected to full 10 HDTVs. We charge them per hour for each game they choose to play. I currently have 5 pS3s and 5 Xbox 360 consoles in the arcade section.


In the Repair section i do the following:

Repair 3 Red light Xbox 360s(RROD)
Repair Xbox 360 E70 errors
Repair Xbox360 blank picture errors
Replace Ps3s faulty lens
Chip / Flash Xbox 360s consoles to play copied games
Chip Nintendo wii to play copied games

In the sales section ,i sell copied Xbox 360 games and copied Wii games.
I also sell video games accessories in this section like battery packs, power adaptors, av cables e.t.c
_______________________________________________________________________________

The reason i have created this topic is because i will like to relocate back to Nigeria, I have here in SA for a while and i really miss home. I want to come back home to settle down with my family and establish my business in Lagos. I know how people love video games in Nigeria and i also know how expensive these video games have become.

I feel that i may be able to contribute something positive to the country and the youths if i establish my business there. From what i have gathered so far ,there is no one in Lagos who repairs Xbox 360s ( i may be mistaken but that is what i have heard from my relatives).My business can benefit video game loving Nigerians because here in South Africa i am able to source second hand video game consoles which are in good condition and resell them in Nigeria at reasonable prices. Another plus is my ability to make copied games. The cost of an original Xbox  game range from $60 to $100 but i can make a copy of those games for a mere $5 or less.This will really benefit Nigerians who are struggling to buy one single game.

Like i mentioned above i have been out of the country for a while and i need the professional input of people on the ground in Nigeria. Please advice and tell me if it wise for me to establish this type of business in Lagos or if i should remain in SA.I have attached a picture to give you an idea of what my business is like. I will also like the good people of Nairaland to suggest to me which areas of Lagos my business will thrive in.
