Wishing you the best. Just work hard and keep at it even when things are at their lowest. Don't try to make fast money else you'll lose it fast. Moderation, passion, and hardwork is the key.

May Oduduwa continue to bless the Yoruba nation and their ever strong and ambitious entrepreneur spirit.
Yorubaland is blessed! Full of talents. In politics, economy and education. Too bad we have less ambitious leaders.
When it comes to business, na we get am.
We're not talking petty trading or small shops, we're talking big businesses.

China and Malasia suicide mission is not exclusive to any section of the country.


There are achievers as well out riffraffs everywhere you go.



I would rather engage in petty trading and grow to the size of Ifeanyi Uba, Innoson, Coscharis, Arthur Eze, Iwuanyanwu etc than die of hunger waiting for big businesses.



Zechariah 4:10

"Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.”

Fanyogoyogo:


They benefit 100%? How come China and Malaysia suicide is an option then?
Many more Yoruba businesses will make this list next year. We just keep growing. We're not comfortable with petty trading, we're business minded people. My Yoruba mind got me thinking of so many business ideas right now.

I wonder about that one. I notice that many other Yoruba businesses didn't make it. I can post a whole page here. Next year is coming sha. I guess these are the top performers in Africa.

I have to give credits to Kenyans, Yoruba rivals, when it comes to technological growth. I expected them to make us run for our money. I'm glad that some Yoruba technology firms are working with Kenyan Tech firms to dominate Africa. We need to kick S.A's fake black ass off the court.

Technology is the future.

The best part of it for me is we have a heavy presence in the IT world. That means the backbone of this country is in our hands, which we can always twitch to our advantage when required.

So they're for special occasions. My suggestion is that you guys should widen your target customers to the regular public by making plastic/regular spoons. Look for business investors/customers in Education institutions, events, and at owambe parties. If you're Yoruba, it'd be easier to find customers in Oyo and Ogun. You want to sell in Oyo and Ogun..... the population is HUGE! Rich people plenty for Ogun.
Where are you located and/or where do you sell?
