Glory be to God, i love good news my brother, i love legit hustler like die.

But the problem is dat u wil still rubbish this same lagos with ur alternate moniker, lagos is slum, lagos is overrated, lagos is this and dat while u forgot that lagos offers u what ur place couldn't offer.(pardon me if u re not one of those that do this)

Well sha, we thank God for u
You are pardoned. By the way, what happens on Nairaland stays here. Nowhere is not slum, nowhere is not overrated, nowhere is not this and that as long as it's in Nigeria....you will agree with me if you have had the privilege of leaving here.

Lagos by far is ahead of so many states. I have been to so many states East, west North and South. Slums exist in all...so is erroneous to heap it on Lagos alone

Continued........

Having gotten to some heights in taking and delivering orders we started thinking of how to differentiate our business from the hundreds of logistics companies in Lagos. And more importantly, how to diversify and increase our revenue and profit. I came up with an idea and discussed it with my staff, customers and mentors and 90% of them endorsed it.

So we started the first warehousing cum logistics company in Lagos. We literally receive the products of businesses/ people who owns and runs businesses with serious Lagos customers while their businesses aren't in Lagos. We keep this products in our warehouse, package and deliver it to their customers anytime they have order in Lagos or Ogun states. Thereby saving the customer the cost of sending his/her orders to Lagos on every single demand. Also to make sure the goods get to the customer/consumer in good time.

We tried this on a handful of customers and we perfected our strategy before we made it open. We are currently building our mobile apps that will allow customers view their transactions and make payments. We are also looking at opening a warehouse in Iyana ipaja and Maza Maza areas before the year runs.

This is how far and how well we have come in our business. Mind you, I came to Lagos with a view of getting a white collar job, but today (by God's grace), I pay at least 6 persons and business is growing from strength to strength. If God can do it for me, he will surely do it for you. All you need to do is to think smart, pray and work hard. The business wasn't entirely rosy at the starting period, I can remember trekking miles like from ijegun-ikotun...from Egbeda-Ayobo.....from Jakande to CMS.... from Ikeja to Agege etc just to save enough money from the delivery fees I charged. If I couldn't give up, you too shouldn't.

Thanks for your time

Nice one,

For the record Lagos is not Yoruba land ,Lagos is no man's land and Edo people are the only people that have the right to claim it .
