Dear Moderators,

I wrote to you privately but I didn't get any response and the problem wasn't rectified, therefore; I decided to create a thread for it.

Ever since I joined Nairaland, I realized that I don't have access to some topics (if not the entire) business section. This is quite detrimental to me since I cannot comment on important business topics on that section. Even when I tried creating this thread on the same section, I received the same response as the one I received whenever I tried to comment:

"Sorry, you can't post in this section yet. Please try again in a week or so"

I also experience this problem whenever I want to comment on some politics thread.

I wish for this problem to be rectified so that I can learn and also contribute on that section.

Thank you,

Regards.

It seems this issue happens mostly to new accounts or old accounts that aren't very active. Increasing your activity level, such as creating new tops, replying, Quoting, Shares, and Likes all contribute to open up new sections for you. The level of engagement your new posts receive (such as views, replies, likes, shares, etc) also contribute to increasing your rank. Personally, I think Nairaland is being too restrictive. Your best bet is to long in everyday and engage with people on the forum for a few minutes or more. You can also contact Seun directly about it because I've seen many comments from him on this problem.

In the meantime, I'm passing this message around that some people may find helpful.

Why Sit Around When Others Are Making Thousands and Millions Importing and Reselling New or Used Merchandise?

Yours can be the next success story.

I'm a strong advocate of borderless trade to minimize poverty and joblessness. I encourage Nigerians to venture into online markets that sell to foreigners (especially Westerners). Or at least, you can buy quality items for cheap and sell to Nigerians at more affordable prices.

Basically, there are seven main challenges to becoming a successful online importer or seller:

Capital (I'll teach you how to get it)
Banks and Currencies
Finding “the right products” but cheaper
Dealing with scammers and dishonest sellers or agents
Shipping fast, safe, and cheaper
Dealing with customs
Selling the product

For those who want to sell products online via U.S., European, or other international marketplaces, you face all the above challenges, plus:

Warehousing
Gaining competitive advantage
Shipping to customers
Handling returns

There's a short simplified program that will help you overcome all the above challenges. There's no obligation to pay any specific amount, and you can join the program for free after convincing me that you too poor to pay anything (LOL). Actually, I'm focused on helping to groom new successful online importers like myself. There are too many products and I can't deal with them all. Other people got to join the club. And my biggest satisfaction is to see people succeed from knowledge I taught them. So, don't be discouraged if you are too broke to make any financial compensation/donation for the wonderful knowledge you'll acquire in this program.

I've been using this knowledge personally for the past 7 years and I think it's time to share with others. I've gained a lot of market advantage. I can remember selling used laptops for N25,000 in 2016 because I got them really cheap (actually, I found an American school that wanted to replace all its laptops). They sold me 98 used laptops for about N4000 each. After shipping, the unit cost of each laptop averaged N8000. One of the laptops (a shiny Dell) sold for N50,000. Others sold for N30,000, but the least was N25,000. The funny thing is that these prices were even cheap compared to the market prices in Nigeria that time. So, that single deal yielded hundreds of thousands in profits.

People have shown interest already via email. However, there's still room to enlist more people. I'm looking at about 100 candidates for a start. So hurry up if you want to get in the first batch.

The program will be conducted through an interactive online space like Slack. You can ask questions in real life as we progress. I'll send links to interested candidates through which they can join.

Understand that there are plenty of secrets that make people fail or succeed in online borderless trade. It's way more than just going online and placing an order for a phone or laptop. And I'll share all these juicy secrets during the program. It'll last anywhere from 2 - 6 weeks depending on how sharp you are.
