sanmi2000: Hello friends:

Can someone please recommend an institution in UK or USA that gives oil and gas industry training?
I was told by family and friends that you can not do wrong by getting involved in oil and gas business in Nigeria.

I have couple of connections in Nigeria that can make this possible, but I know nothing about oil and gas. I think it is important to know something about this business before diving into it.

Please help, your response will be greatly appreciated.

benalways: @Sanmi,
I will attempt your questions:
1. Registration of a business is done at the CAC and you have 2 options. You either register as a limited coy or register a business name. Pls check requirement at http://www.cac.gov.ng/Pages/Cacservices.htm.
2. We have so many depots and alot of them are around the apapa axis of lagos. Once you have your money and truck you go into any of them and negotiate the buying of products. You make payment into their accounts and once confirmed you qeue up with your truck to get loaded. Thou loading doesnt come easy as you have to grease elbows to get things moving fast(Nigerian factor),
3. There are brands invoved but not the ones you have mentioned. You can get pdts from coy like capital oil, zenon oil e.t.c
4. The market is large and if you are sincere you can use the loyalty factor to break even.You have private estates, factories, banks, telecom coy e.t.c who need pdts
5.a,You need a very good truck and your finance will determine the capacity to start with.
b,You need a very good driver with mechanical knowledge to handle some minors
c,You need a very hardworking guy who will double in many roles
d,You need a manager to co-ordinate the office
e,You need a marketer

9jagobetta: THE RIGHT BUSINESs TO PUT YOUR MONEY IN NIGERIA WITH FAT ROI

I studied business administration & management, i have been in the business of sales, marketing, supply and haulage of granite materials, asphalt, sands, laterite for over a decade, it is simply combining multiple similar kind of business which are very interrelated and interdependent and as a result of this i am able to manage them successfully, from my experience the biggest problem in all is capital! another is one is management which of-course I've been able to master over the time, everyone knows that every business has its risk and that's why not just anybody can dabble into this type of profitable business as it called for a lot of experience and tactics to be able to attain success,s but at the same time no risk no gain. What do you understand by haulage? now I'll like to talk about the haulage aspect of the business, haulage is simply the means and system of moving goods/things from one place to another where it is needed. the business i want to introduce to you is haulage with dump trucks otherwise know as tipping trucks and tipping trailers, i have once talk about the granite/sand merchandise aspect of the business, but the offer is still open for anyone interested. i will not advice anyone to buy a brand new truck/trailers for business in the Nigeria system of today, except a big multinational companies who has vast capital and resources. so i will recommend fairly used trucks/trailers otherwise known as TOKUNBO with good grade ''this aspect of selecting the good grade used trucks also need an espert as well but that can be taken care of'' from abroad, one can buy here in Nigeria or buy it cheaper from America or Europe. the good trailer/trucks good for this kind of business are thus in this order: MARK, STYER, IVECO, SCANIER, DAFF AND MAN¬DISLE etc. Now with any of these trucks you are in business for real, we have different types of management/maintenance packages depending on the one that sooth you better, we advice all the trucks in our care to have comprehensive insurance policy, to take care of the greatest risk involve in the business. There are arrangement where we take care of total or partial maintenance of the trucks depending on our agreement, We normally take total management of the drivers as this is the most important aspect of the business that determine progress. We use our trucks within a short distance operations in the south-western states particularly Lagos, Oyo, and Ogun states this make total control and monitoring of the trucks/driver very easy and at the same time reduce transit risk to the barest minimum and also reduce the rate of diminishing return if our truck. Sometimes we reject some jobs/contracts if it tend to put our trucks into high risk. The expect ROI on ten tire truck is between N70k & 80k and trailer is between 80k & 100k all per one week. We mostly work Monday to Friday and make out for check-up and maintenance of our trucks. Come and do business with us while you smile to the bank. We also offer consultancy services in thmese area of business. You just put a call through, there is no crime imn hearing from us thank. for more info call 08020621510, 08071155335.

Please I m really interested in this but can u kindly give me an estimated amount a tokunbo truck will likelyy cost? Tanx

megachuks: If you have good amount of money, I will advise you to invest in hallage, based on the fact that you re still over there, you import the trucks.

Depilot: @Sanmi:
2 key points for you:

1. Be very careful of 419.
In Nigeria today many 419ers prefer to pick on fresh blood journey just come like yourself. I'm not saying everyone is 419 and out there to get you, I'm just advising you to be smart and watch out.

2. The best way to discover a lucrative business in Nigeria that is also compatible to your life-style is to come on down and taste the water. Give yourself up to 5 months to really understand the system. If you don't take time out to first understand the system, you will be a lost soul for a very long time.

For someone who has been gone for 10 years and doesn't want to work for anybody, here are some business ideas:
1. Gas and Oil
2. Importing goods from China
3. Importing cars and trucks
4. Importing car and truck parts
5. Getting all kinds of Contract work (construction, information technology, commercial maintenance etc)
6. Bar and restaurant
7. Farming
8. Tent and chair rental

I hope this helps.

AFOLABISUNKANMI: I dont have any other lucrative business than online importation business which I started in small scale in year 2011, you can try it out http://proinfomarketing.com/index/index2.htm

sanmi2000: I clearly understand this fact and I also thank you.

Is these anyone with any info on an institution in UK or USA that gives oil and gas industry training?
Your recommendation will be greatly appreciated.

Sanmi.
