It is a question. How come we can't have it in Nigeria? Developed economies thrive through partnership.

I have the idea, another has the technical skills and another the finance. Why can't we just come together and make it work? It would be great, unemployment would drastically reduce and our economy would thrive more.

@spicyv1 You've raised a nice question there. I want to ask you. Can we do business together?

Partnerships are like marriages,that need a prenuptial agreement,understanding and tangible value brought to the table by the partners

Partnership in business is very good for the hawkish partner but bad for the dovish one. One may not know who is who in the pioneering period of the business but when the venture becomes prosperous, A partner will want to take all the stake.

Okay, so why can't we have it then?

Even when proper measures have been taken? And a clear MOU drawn up?

Thank you. Depends on what you are offering.

because most often we focus on short-term gains than the future of the business(long term growth),its possible to have a functional partnership,with the right vision,culture and system in place..we can have it,think Gtbank..

MOU can be circumvented, Lawyer(s) can become partisan and a partner can be assasinated. From what I have seen and heard, I cannot do partnership with anyone. It is either sole proprietorship or I buy stocks of a PLC.
