I am UK based naija boi and after my degree in Business and Mathematics i have decided to open a barbing saloon, restaurant and a club. My 2 storey building will have barbing salon on top and the restaurant under all linked together while the club will be beside it, The barbing saloon & restaurant will be opened 24 hours, while the clubs will be opened Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Is this idea going to work in Nigeria?

Naija

In Naija?! 24 hours?! Are you trying to get robbed? The idea sounds good but 24hrs is not a good idea. Where in Naija do you intend to start?

Nt sure needs to come dwn to do my research

Hey bro there's nothing wrong in being ingenious and creative, well my advise is to focus on security and goodluck at it.
Finally Port Harcourt, Abuja or Lagos may be considered.
Ciao!

very good idea. it is going to work very well. but the issue of security needs to be well thought out.
i would prefered a standard bar to club. just for security reason.
but do ur feasiblity study well. u need to repackage it to sell profitably.

Tanx, Securities?It scares me men, In terms of loaded mens with jaz

A good idea, but 24hrs, u need to spend a fortune on security, and I advise u take it one at a time.

tanx @yu all

hmm, the 24hours restaurant is a good idea, but a barbing salon? ppl actually wanna cut their hair at 3am??

well ma brother i have a good idea, i am an original Aba boy n i bet u Aba is a town rapidly growing with civilization as the key word, in recent times there has been an upsurge of sharp youths following the increse in population in the polythechnic(Abia Poly)the people in this town have the money and are ready to spend it but the problem is there is no place as such to do this,so if really u re interested in making money i can assure u Aba is the best place for u to come to with your initiative is here.for more info you can mail me (tata2rhyme@yahoo.com)

THATS A VERY GOOD BUSINESS DECISION, MAY GOD ALMIGHTY PUT YOU THROUGH AGAINST ALL ODDS,
BUT MAKE SURE YOU DO A THOROUGH FEASIBILITY STUDIES OF THE BUSINESS,

Really good idea, But Nigeria i see it working over there than here, Start over there, have a good experience on what u are doing, u can then come over here and start one after d other.

My advice don't start a business here in Nigeria if u don't have a good knowledge of it & solid experience.

But hey if u have a good experience already, just know naija will have a different strategy, just like it has to all things.

The idea is good. You know that you have to get good location for good business. And try to meet people that have been in kind of business like that. cheers.

its a nice idea to be an entrepreneur but not everybody can be one
well based on the knowledge i have gotten from entrepreneurship course there are business lines that i know that if well planned u can never fail and that falls in 2 the category of food , clothing and shelter
the restaurant is a good one, naija people love partying and clubbing and the barbing i know that i guy needs to barbe at least every 2 weeks.
this kind of business venture will thrive in highly populated cities cos u will need crowd to make good profit.
first and foremost come into the country,get to meet people who run this same type of business ventures, then get statistics of various cities across the country to get an idea of which market u want 2 target and then other necessary things will have to come in place. i also strongly advice u to have a business plan but start small and end big is always better. dont rush in big by pulling in all ur resource into it at once and as so many replies have said earlier 24 hours in this country is risky and i dont think it will be profitable 4 u on the other hand u can try 7.00 am 2 12 pm.
nice idea its better to be an employer than an employee cos an employee can never be richer than his employer if he ever does that means he has beeen stealing and making dubious moves under him.
wish u all the best in life

not withstanding your tanx men, you are trying to be smart here.
how come you are saying you never know where you are going to open the businesses you mentioned here when you are saying your two story building.
remember, you can fool some people sometimes not all, all the times.
pls my fellow nairalnaders, watch out for this man for he must surely come out in his real colours.
again, what has your degress in london has to do with saloon, resturant and clubs.
pls let me know your real interest.

The idea is good. If you need a point of sale(with accounting) software to manage the place,do contact me.

Wow! I'm baffled by ur idea bro, it makes a lot of sense menn, It can work out but u need some good cash if u are to do dis in abuja cos rent is kinda expensive, I dont know about other places sha!

Dont give up on the idea though, u could even add a female hair salon too.

.

Bros,bros ^{****kai,u be real ibo man I swear,lol****}.

Anyway, me I don't know what kind of club you do have in mind,but knowing me,I sure wouldn't dismiss the idea of getting a lap dance while having my hair faded with a beautiful lady feeding me grapes. .

Matter of fact,let it be known that this post is my unofficial application for the position of Chief lingerie holder or Bottom douser ^{***make u no say I no tell u***.}

Written in good humor, wish u the best though,

ToTochoper at your service.

nice idea,
i guess it will work out in Abuja, Port harcourt if not for their crisis and calabar, owerri for the little i know.

fesse - you use the word NICE

i'm sorry you just call my name?

So i'm here now.

Its a really good idea. However if you want to keep a 24hr bussiness, Abuja will be the best location for security purposes and Light is a bit more constant than in other parts of the country.
Good Luck

this a very good idea and it will definitely bring u cash,but if u coming to Abuja to start your's just have to be very good cos there lots of competitors down here.nice one

workable idea. but you need to look into the
issue of security, all the best, lets know when when
you OPEN!

My guy, this sounds like a very brillant idea. But a word of caution, I am talking from experience here; Night Clubs in Nigeria are only a temporary thing (the hype is only there for a year or two) . Naija people like change, once another night club opens with slightly new ideas, you can be rest assured that people would move on .So please bear this in mind.

As for the Barbing Saloon and the Restaurant, you cant go wrong.

I wish you all the best.
