OP... you have done well. if they like, make them hear. if them like, make dem no hear.

Now let me sound a warning to many of the ladies out there: Here is what many guys say, "Most girls are only good as girlfriends and not as wife" What does not mean to you?

Well here is a true meaning of what it is (it could mean anything to you) it means you are only good as a fvck thing and nothing else.

Sometimes I wonder what most of this Naija girls think. You are an african for christ sake--our tradition still stands when it come things like this.

You want to be kim k, nikky m, jennifer lopez, Beyonce, etc... well, theye are fooling you and you are buying into their dream. what you see is called show biz and they are making money from it but you aint. Rather, you would clinge to your boyfriend for almost every penny and thereby sponging on him.

Most want to catch fun, club, drinking, party... in the end they excrete everything and start all over again. The time spent in all this would have been used to start a much profitable venture if only they will listen.

Listen, guys are no fools! if any guy approach with your half na..ked seductive body, he will only do the job he was called to do.

More coming.

babatv: . How can i buy from ebay fron nigeria, when i dont have paypal account and i dont want dirty deal, i want pure deal. Plz help on how 2 búy 4rm ebay. I will like 2 know

i believe you want this for personal use. There are companies that act as middle man and will buy stuffs from ebay on your behalf while you pay them with your credit card and they ship to your house. Myus.com, shipito.com and uk2naija.com and circuitatlantic.com are ur best bet.

Shakara123: As interesting as this may sound, this was my case 3 years ago. I took up the offer and the salary was actually N20,000.

My relevance to the firm became obvious just after two months. I learnt all I could learn and made contacts as much as I could (the job afforded me that opportunity). My salary was trippled after 3 months and it was on the 10th month I resigned and joined glo.

Am on my third job today and I thank God for His mercies.

So I didn't start this thread because of me, but rather for someone out there who might be in similar shoes. Please note that one must not pick up just any offer because he or she needs to work. It should be of positive impact to your career goals.

thanks bro. Thanks for sharing. That's why I have made it a point of focus to acquire skills and experience, irrespective of the pay. I am a fresh grad and currently waiting for my NYSC call up.

My uncle once asked me if I would work if granted a job. I told him yes I will. But had let him know that my field is oil related and wouldnt mind working in such a company and that I dont care about the pay at this stage because what I care about is the experience, not pay.

He okay when he comes back, he will speak with his friend.

You are the fourth person who has stated this method on nairaland and the good news is that all four got the job. One guy(also a nairalander) even agreed to work for and oil servicing company for 6 months without pay, except 10,000 monthly fee for transportation. He was retained by the company and also got a bigger offer from another oil company.

What matter to me is experience at this stage not really money. I will do anything to have that experience.

What a shame that this thread did not receive a worthy exposure. A BIG SHAME!

you dey find person wey get fiancé and now married to her? That na BABE property ooo

bennyraz: I just pity girls. They don't know that if you are in a relationship and d guy never ask u to don't do this don't do that, the relationship is bound to fail. D guy has no plan 4 u. No guy can ever tell me he hasn't told d girl he plans to marry not to do this or that. No husband can tell me he hasn't told his wife not to do this or that? Get it girls. And stop talking based on what the criticisms of other guys. I'm a guy and i know the truth. And i'm telling it. A relationship or marriage without rules will fail.

true... a guy that does not question your actiona or motives has no plan for you. He is just around for the fun. Period.

lovelynat: Whatever u do guys, pls, pls do not use God's name to beg a girl for her number, From personal experience, the biggest turn off ever. i get that some girls like it when guys feed their EGO, but trust me, never act desperate with a girl, she won't love u for it.

nice to know.

joeydozzy: dey here dey mumu yourself feeling all sorry and writing poems while she's shaggin another guy and writing him poems

Exacly! OP, you have to stop this your LOVER BOY APPROACH to naija gurls. I used to be like that but not any more. Your own na small. I wrote a full mini excercise book filled with romantic messages, all from my head. My little cousin looked at what I wrote and said why dont I sell it and make some money for myself because at that time text message books where selling like hot cake.

What did I get in return? Yeah... some will accuse Nigerian guys as not being romantic. Who cares? when you try to be one, you either get heart broken or tagged as a mumu/maga9. They like it rough and tough. Over caring is wrong in their eyes. sparingly show the affection, care and not too much or excess affecttion.

You got to hold your head up bro and dont let one silly girl use you any how. ah .. that reminds me... DECEMBER BREAK UP ahahaha. This is their season.

I can bet my last cash that she dumped you because of the your "lover-boy" way of handling the relationship.

I had one who also ended the relationship on the basis of she want space blah blah. I gave her the space and stood back for one year. before the end the one year, a friend saw her with another guy with his hands around her waist. he said when she saw him, she became uncomfortable with the guy she hanging out with.

Though I cherished her and I knew she was someone I can easily get along with without much problem. She has got the kind of temperament I love but one crazy thing with ladies which I hate in some ways is just their body chemistry and emotions. some times I feel God didnt wire them well, honestly.

Here was a girl claiming that she has never met any guy that cherised her the way I did or told her the things I say but ended it on a silly reason.

Well, I kept calling her once in a while just to check on her then all of a sudden, I noticed that she would sk who is calling. she did this on two occassions. I had to call her and ask if she deleted my number from her phone. she said yes but she has gotten it back . That means she recently stored it back because I called. well I sent her text immediately never to expect me coming back to her. and that was it! But this same girl will/may go about saying she has never met a nice guy, men are bad, this and that. When she eventually reach late 20s, she start thinking upside down.

MOVE ON. Girls plenty... one thing that has kept me going is the population or ratio of girls to boys in this world. If you dont know, they ARE FAR MORE THAN US population-wise. Think about that bro. so why kill yourself because one does not want you. Dust yourself and move but learn how to handle them and you will never be heart broken again.

shakur1234: am so happy for you and i would like to to have one or two words with you cos am planning going into it soon.i would soon resign from work.my contact is 08024462210 or salamishakiru@yahoo.com

All the answers is right there.

FOREXMART: First of all i pay due respect to all the gurus in the house. One thing has kept on stopping me from info marketing since 2007 and I wonder where i would have been by now if i started.

Let me answer them to the best of my knowledge

These are the biggest questions that have cone to mind.

1. How do i generate traffic from only the Nigerian market since payment will be made in naira?.

Depending your target market... Newspaper, Google Adwords, Facebook Ads. But Google adwords is far better tha Facebook ads.

2. Can i create a website on my own with a WYSIWYG software containing multiple pages?

Yes you can. You dont need much pages in this regard, A simple one page is okay. KISS is the key.

3. knowing what a mailing list is, how
do i add a subscribe button to a page?

Just copy the HTML code, paste that is all. You will find it in you account panel of whatever service you are using.

4. How do i integrate and use an auto responder on my site.

same as above. a littie googling and youtube videos can help

5. What service broker will you recommend for purchasing a domain name and hosting a website in Nigeria?

godaddy because for each domain you register, it comes with free email e.g info@yourdomain.com very professional

6. Finally i have read through all the pages and nobody has talked about how best to generate nigerian traffic to your site. It makes no sense when my info is for Nigerians and my traffic is from Japan.

lol.. true I have told you from above. Build a list with the method given above

caesaraba: Thanks. Think it would be good to hypothetically start making the necessary inquiries as regards available location. Gracias amigo

cool...

babatv: Please any1 give a site that i can buy bb at a cheap price (new and used). Plz i need it urgently thanx

ebay.com

caesaraba: Nice idea. Especially the poultry and fish farming.

What about stuff like Kerosine/Cooking Gas biz?

Something with high daily return as regards sales.

yeah... the location is the key here.

caesaraba: This is just a hypothetical question: If you had a little above 1.5 million naira, what business would you start? Assuming you already owned a Provision store and Wine shop?

I will add poultry business to it
Grasscutter farming and catc fish farming.... that is what I will do.

When some hasnt really in a relationshop,a real one, since 2009, what do you call that?

uceee: Thanks, when I find something that appeals to me, I won't think twice before investing. Offline Biz requires you to be present to do the work, or supervise those doing it. Am still a student, so I find it more convenient to work online, since I can work from anywhere, at anytime as long as I have my PC.

Okay... I undertsand. I was a student too.

surveycash:
That's human nature - always inquisitive without action. I learnt this stuff alone and have also paid over 10k to update my knowledge from e-book sellers. Unfortunately, they did not even know half as much as I learnt from experience. Most of them have neither imported toothpick let alone tablet pc.

lol... na so oo

dantechnig: Well am into construction and I wish to spread my wings all over nigeria for now, I design structural drawings, electrical drawings and mechanical drawings,work program, builders estimate for my architect friends but is like I got few architect clients and wish to have more clients all over the nation since one can send drawings now through emails.

call dennis isong...l I have dealt with him in the past when I was inro website flipping. I never has any problem 08028667565

uceee: @OP, Thank you for raising this very inspiring and informative thread. As for moi, I plan to resuscitate my online freelancing. This time, I will stop being jack of all trades and focus on one or two areas till I make a big reputation there. So help me God.

cool.. but try t see if you can channel whatever money you make from that to offline business.

That is what I will do in 2013.

demoreon: you sure have a good question about the market getting saturated and non availability of domain names,well I want you to know that everyday over 100,000 domains expires so All you need do is pick some of those domains and you will be fine, also there are lots of softwares that will generate domain names and check if they are available.

yeah yeah.. you can say that again. I like the guy question no be small...

and another thing I love about what he did, he checked to feed his inquisitive mind... nice

malon tee: Am very sorry about my juvenile behaviour in the aspect of using abbreviations.*Apologies* Still waiting for advice,contributions as the case maybe

* ring ring, ring ring* Now you are talking!

albacete:
@2sexy
I must say i'm very much impressed after visiting d thread @ ur siggy. The business concept sure makes sense. Initially, i thought u were one of those guys that talk on paper without having anything on ground.

Even though you don't know exactly when to get paid, it seems to be a very profitable business.

Something just came to my mind now: What if d market become so saturated that there is no sensible domain to register? because d way u guys are going(some registering as much as 10 domains per day), there won't be any left for us that are yet to start.

hhahaha... Thank you for picking on my brain. I know how you feel bro... But trust me, as much as there people registering domains everyday, there is an equal number dropping everyday.


What do I mean by dropping? Actually,every domains have their life span and when their life span is exhausted, they are deleted and dropped from database. This makes it to become available for someone else to register it.

Let me explain further. I will use your NL handle as an example. if I register albacete.com, it will become mine which also depends on the number of years I wishh to own it. if this time elapse and I do not renew my registeration, it will be deleted from my account and any other Nairalander can register it.

Using this analogy, thousands of names like this drop on daily basis. You will even get tired of registering. Therefore, it does not get saturated. Granted, most of the good names have been taken. You cant find one word domains any more. They are mostly taken and those that had them made good money. for instance, the owner of PIZZA.COM made millions when he was to sell it. These where the early players of the game and there are many cases like that. There was also a rare case where a multimillion dollar company allowed one their domains to drop without renewing it. They had to pay through their nose because someone else registered it on drop. The domain was race.com. That no be beans ooo. facebook is the owner of fb.com. Please google "fb.com was for" and see how much it went for and that is why when you type fb.com into you address bar, you are often taken to facebook.com.

Anyway, talking about profitability... yeah it is when compared to what the stock market can give you, but this can only happen if you know what you are doing. The 90/10 rule is also applicable here. 10% register the best domains while the other 90% register crap names and that mean, the 10% will get the money from the buyers in the market. This means that your success is higly dependent on the kind on name you have. for instance, one name I have and which the buyer has agreed to buy is a dot com version of their dot net on which they have their company's website.

I found this particular domain on drop and registered it for $1.18 instead of the usual $10 for registering domains because I used a coupon to reduced the price. I did a little research and found out some companies have the .net(my main buyer but yet to pay), .co.uk, com.au( for australia) . that one is gone because by God's grace, I shall finalise everything by January. The man sef na old school... and e dey vex me gan . anyways what actually happened was that he asked me how much I would sell it for, I told him $1700 but he later replied me that the only way they will consider buying the name from me is if it will be very low. No mind the man ooo. he does not not know that I am aware he is the owner of the company. He is just trying to create a picture of "no money". Yeah, I had done my own research on before now. In this business, you have to know how to negotiate too and from what I have noticed, this particular buyer has been using delay tactics on me.

Since he did not agree with my price, I told him to make an offer, but on the condition that if the offer is fair enough, I will sell to him. Why did I use that clause, "if the price is fair enough"? if you read carefully, yous should have known that when said they will only consider buying it 'if" the price was very low. Hey.. that was a trap bro. so what did I do? I also gave them my own condition... make an offer and IF the price is fair enough, I will sell to you.

Guess what? The man thanked me and said he will talk tohis company directors and then get back to me... BETTER. na me you wan use do xmas chicken? You have to be smart as well when dealing with them.

Yeah some people will say if I registered the domain for $1.18 why do I want to sell that high. well this is business and in business, you all the money you can as much as you can. if the man even offer me $100, I will take it but the good news is that he wont do that.

why?

1. I have the .com-- the king of all extension on the web

2. He has already delayed by saying he will talk to his company directors. would you have spent weeks speaking to your company directors and only to come back and offer $100? bros that na BIG 'falling hand" from a realestate company

3. I intentionally raised that price to $1700 so that when nego nege nego negotiate, we may end up at a price I have in mind or slightly above it. Honestly, what I have in mind is just $300-$500 . Na game. hey no stone me ooo even market women in your area does the same thing...

Well, I don cross my legs and I dey wait for the man to come back from boardroom meeting with him company directors....

regards peepz! Happy New Year In Advance.

me gan dey fear to release the information to anyone. else, them go just hack people facebook any how. trust Nigerians with things like this
