publisher: In 2009,while still working in a private financial institution,i launched my own magazine. Invested over N2m on the project,hired some old classmates to run it for me...well as expected,they ran it aground. I even lost my rented office space ,cos the landlady went psychotic on rents.
After i resigned from paid employment early 2010,i moved into my media bizness full time. I'm a trained brand innovator and copywriter. I sacked ALL my staff(5 of em) retaining only my PA. We are into advertising; creation/production of tv commercials,radio jingles and newspaper ads. It's a terrible industry cos most big Nigerian companies already have established ad agencies,others prefer to use foreign South African ad agencies. When they give independents like us an opportunity to pitch an ad,they complain that our idea is good but too expensive. But when a white South African team presents a silly ad pitch,to be shot in Cape town,ten times more expensive than ours,the big Nigerian companies jump at it. Thats why most so called quality tv ads aired in nigeria are shot in South Africa or Kenya,they use mainly zimbabwean cast cos their accent is similar to ours. They go a step further to teach them pidgin and clothe them with Nigerian attires just to create a Nigerian setting. Ref: Airtel 'IK' 10/10, Golden Penny, Etisalat, Indomine(mama too good),Blueband, Cowbell and so on.
Luckily,i've landed a decent ad deal with an upcoming food seasoning company,to be honest i only got the break cos the chairman of the coy is my 'towns man'. Positive tribalism i guess!
I love advertising, especially tv ads,i watch many foreign tv stations just to see their ads. But unfortunately 90 percent of tv ads aired on Nigerian tv can be very irritating,the 'descent' ones are SA productions.
I'ld like to change that and make Nigerian tv ads more Nigerian,more creative and more entertaining.
Advertising is a passion driven creative industry,it's also very frustrating for independent agencies like mine and u could go months,even years without a single client. But ONE serious client can change ur life forever,especially if ur Ads affects ur clients turnover positively.
Well,that's my story. Nice thread.

Men, i too watch tv for ad sake, u just copied out my passion on this post, can we exchange contacts, we could work together someday. Check my signature below for email

i was into google adsense since 2009.
Made some good dollars till early last year 2012 when Google eventually banned for reasons best known to them.
The experience and financial inflow was wonderful though while it lasted.
Now, I am a full time forex trader now and representing Instaforex.com

I am amazed at myself cos dis topic made me realize I ve tried my hands at a number of biz wen all d yl I thought I ddnt av d knack 4sm petty biz. So, yl in sec. sch I made beaded jewelries,belts, bags etc 4sale. At d university, I sold kerosene in bottles (quick, profitable wt gud returns + I dnt av 2buy kero 4use), I also sold photo frames (abt 100% profit bt requires customer persuasion. I regret nt continuing d biz on campus), I then sold eggs in units and offered pepper blending services (bt my blender quick spoil sha). That's it. Nw, I sell wirework jewelleries and do trainings (google Wired Up for my contact).
