Its a nice idea that will be rewarding.

To go a further than what cutee said: your colour will make things a little bit hard becuase either your local suppliers try †☺ be smart, your customers will expect charity(you said community pharmacy).
Why not set up a drug making company?

U can partner with someone like me that's already into the business

You need to get a trusted ally from the country so that registration to the appropriates boards and procurement of original drugs will be easier. Don't partner with just anybody (like the poster above me). Make sure the person is trustworthy and accountable, all the best.

Its easy as long as you:-
1. Are able to enrol for the conversion programme and pass inorder to be certified to practise Pharmacy in Nigeria.
2. Get a choice location in a densely populated area full of enlightened people.
3. Follow the business models of Health Plus and MedPlus,chain pharmacies run by two reputable female pharmacists.

I wish you success.

What do you mean in an enlightened area? You mean rich areas?

I meant an area where 90% of your clients are educated enough to know the benefits of your professional touch.

Thanks.
