Impressive! Especially the issue of team work, because most business owners lack team work qualities as a result their employees tend to have a care free attitude towards the business.

Achatina achatina and Archachatina Marginata are the most common snails in Nigeria for consumption. They gorw at a rapid rate within 3 months and can last up to 6 years.

They also lays about 4-550 eggs three times a year and so this will multiply your snail numbers in a year.

They have to mate before laying egg both some snails have both mail and female organs and you may not need to look for a particular male or female as two with the organs can mate.

I will still write more on this for more clarification and where it can best be started conidering tghe envirnment and also where they won't walk away and you miss your money. lols


Thanks and hope it helps.

Electricity is a common challenge with all businesses but it can't be the reason for failure.it can only increase cost of product and services but with right costing and pricing you will scale through.

Good write up..

Business fail in Nigeria because of lack of adequate funding and poor management of reserves. Businesses run out money many times and this is a result of poor planning. You have to plan very well and know how much money you need to run a business for a period of time before cash begins to flow in. While running your business, You have to reserve some cash in the bank. This is a very important aspect as many business men in Nigeria will tell you that money is not good to be in the bank. Don’t listen to them as reserving money in the bank gives you a very good advantage over your competitors and also shape the way you succeed. You will have a high purchasing power when new technology or things springs up that needs emergency funding. It will take you many time to access a loan in emergency. Keeping some money also gives you a huge advantage in staying ahead against market crash. It makes you to position your self very well and you can withstand it.
Other factors that may affect business failure in Nigeria are:
-Underestimating the Competition
-Lack of innovation
-Giving up
-Failure to accept change
-Bad depth

Nigerians are cold heartless people. A person you granted credit can decide to owe you for 3 months yet he has the money and even spending in your eye more than the value of goods for which he has been owing. Very cold heartless Nigerians..

I have become very mean in business, there are no friends or family in business. Cash and carry. My way or no way.

African giant snails can grow up to 30 centimeters.
