Why is it that some Nigerians  at home  do not want someone in abroad to come home and set up a business in Naija?they will start telling you that to  do business at home is not easy and abroad is better.I have these my  brothers that i have been helping,though most of them are married , some with children  and businessess. But each time i say i want to come Naija to establish a business they will start to be  afraid.Is it because of what they are gaining from me or what they stand to gain from me that is making them to discourage me from setting up a business in Naija?i have my money and am not asking any of them for help .

All advice and comments are welcome.Thanks my people.

Thanks Siena.House please keep the comments and advice coming.

I'm with Siena, on this one.

Conduct an.independent thorough feasibility study & go ahead with your business jare!

But each time i say i want to come Naija to establish a business they will start to be afraid.

you dont think they should be afraid?

Depends on the business you are embarking upon. The worries/fear might be out of concerns in case you fail

If you are sure you have done a good feasibility and you are positive about the business, then go ahead,

JesusloveU:

why do you feel their fears are groundless?

maybe they are afraid that the 'free money' will stop coming once you come home and it also mean competition business-wise.

Since most people that do business in naija dont live well, you people may want you to stay away. Its not good for a family if all siblings live in naija. Some should stay there.

Poster,

Your siblings have got reasons to be afraid. However, they only need to caution you and support you by way of steps to take in order to achieve your goal.

As you mentioned, it could very likely be that they are more scared of not getting as much from you upon your relocation for your business.

Engage an independent professional to do a feasibility study (ies) on what you want to do, get some of your good friends to assist in some of the logistics your siblings should have done for you, then hit Nigeria when you are ready without informing them.

But make sure your plans are solid and backed up with "plan B" should something go wrong in your "plan A" so that they will not have any cause to say "we told you".

Best of luck.
