Hi Estan,

This is the business I do. Right now, I had to be on the business on-part time basis cos I got an offer for something else. So my boys runs the biz while I supervise. Currently, I have a shop I want to hand over to anyone already in the business. It has all the stuffs you need for the business, and have been used for the same biz for some years now. I'm only giving it out cos I cant run multiple shops now coupled with what am doing already.

But this is what you must know or my brotherly advise: You will spend at least a month or two to learn some things about the business while doing it. I mean you will act as a boy-boy with your own money. If you're serious with it, a month should be okay. You have to keep your money aside,humble yourself and get what you want( you need to learn how to measure, how to approach customers, how to buy goods, all the contacts of where to buy the goods cheaper etc).

At this starting stage, you must cut down your expenses. If need be, my guy the shop na where you go sleep o especially for shops in the street untill you level up. Ask any "omo ibo" as they are fondly called in Lagos. There are so many things I can't tell you here,but I'm willing to help you hoping your are a good guy and hustler. The journey no go easy o, but it will pay off at the end.

Let me also tell you that foodstuffs has gone up. So, you must have at least 400-500k(rent inclusive) for this journey. It depends on the scale u want to start. A bag of rice(small grain) now is around 53k, stone free nig rice is about 47k, a bag of oloyin is around 45k, bag of yellow garri about 20k and white na 26k etc....let me not talk too much, just send me DM if you are interested. Again, Feel free to ask me anything even if you're not interested, am willing to share my expertise with you free of charge.

And of course before I help you, I must ask you serious questions cos 9ja no good again, but I believe there are still some good guys & honest hustlers out there.

Humble beginning is the best of all
Please how can I contact you ?

All you said are lies I didn't remember telling you I want to go to a high market place I will go to where my money can start something
Not all places in Lagos has thier shop rent ranging from 400k na lie and not all houses in Lagos has their rent ranging from 150k too so stop with the unnecessary hype man .

I am still trying to imagine the kind of money that I will be making in Lagos that I can't make elsewhere which will be a reason to think relocating to Lagos. Wtf is in Lagos?

Well; if your mind is made up on going to Lagos as you sound, why are you still asking for advice?
You truly need to be cleared of the change you have before listening to people with experience on Lagos matter, Lagos my foot!

You suppose get bloda 4 lagos wey you go wan stay with na bros. But you can come to ojo alaba area of lagos. Alot of igbos live in this area.
You can start with self con or one room depending on your choice na.
There are self con of 150k in shibiri, ilogbo, imude etc. Food stuff business is gold here and alot of people are buying and selling it. You cant rent shop by the road side and start your business or rent shop in a busy street.
Infact our tenant are from ebonyi state, their sons are hair dressers in Festac while the father is olokada.

All the best omo iya, god bless yah hustle.

Please don't listen to many of them giving you stupid advice here. Many of them are teenagers or school boys and girls who have never been to Lagos, or saw with their naked the various opportunities available there for you to start small and end up big.

Especially for Igbo people who have innate business acumen, the sky is your limit there to make it big. Many of their rich uncles, building big mansions there came to Lagos with Ghana-must-go bags, and end up massively rich within 10 or less years.

If it is your ambition, contact someone to assist in looking for low cost accommodation and shop between Mowe and Berger. After getting one, then relocate and start your raw food business there in a low key form, so that you can learn through experience, and then expand your business when you gain enough expertise in the business.

Lagos has the population to sustain your business type because man must wack, and there is less risk there of losing your money if you transact mostly through a bank account. And don't forget to look for a good spiritual church to go there, where you can get divine assistance. Before you know it you too will be rich.

So please start the process of relocating there now.

Think elsewhere, not Lagos.

It's good you want to change environment..but think other western State or east to start a business that fit..

If you come to Lagos, you'd have to learn a regrettable lesson first before you start over cos you can't go back..

Wo sha don't go to Lagos..

If you’re a genuine person I think I can at least assist you with accommodation for just 3 months till you get your own place
and also connect you with your fellow Ebonyi people here who are into the same business and doing well for themselves
At least it’s safer to interact with your fellow language men
I need nothing from you , I’m just someone who hates stories that touch , so if you’re interested I have my conditions
1. You must be a neat person
2. You must not be a local person, I mean someone who lacks fashion sense
3. You must smell nice

Don’t judge me, I’m very big on neatness
If you don’t have a problem with none of it then , follow me on IG @Kelly_Dreyton my acct is on private just follow let’s talk more.

P.S- I need no dime from you.

Don't listen to anyone saying you should invest in rice farming,do have any knowledge as per Rice farming? Come to Lagos if you want to, nobody is chasing you away when you mind your business and do your business...so where are the best places for such business?go somewhere like ikorodu look for places just coming and do your feasibility studies if it's ok you move ahead... I have a lot of your folks in my area doing such business and they are doing well, but in all of this never part with your money,be guided.

Certainly, I am not serious. Go ahead and blow the very first money you have ever laid your hands on.

My supplier who provides me with chippings is from Ebonyi and he's living in Owerri and he has already built and rented out an apartment in Ebonyi. I don't understand this LAgos Lagos nonsense all the time. Come to owerri, rent an apartment and get store and sell your foodstuff, you'll make your money

No worry .by the time girls and social life help am finish the money in few months for Lagos him eye go.clear ..North is the best place to move food stuffs and deliver to people ..stay where cost of living is considerate .. Ur 2m for Lagos Na 200k ..it go finish as u be jjc

You don't need any of those. Here is my advise which won't cost you much.

Forget about going to Lagos. Stay where you are if it would help you keep expense at the barest minimum. If you are not computer literate then go and register and learn all the basics, this won't cost you more than 20k.

Afterwards, go and learn a digital skill then get a laptop and venture into freelancing.

All your expenses won't be more than 300-400K.

DON'T MOVE ANYWHERE WITHOUT A SOLID ROADMAP.

Funnily enough,someone last used this amount to play 2 odds and later committed suicide. This guy should be careful of friends now. Sone will come with different ways of investing the money at his own peril.

Come to Onitsha and do the business,Lagos is over hyped. We have markets and the population here in Onitsha to give you bumper sale. Lagos will frustrate you with endless demolition of markets and tribalistic discrimination. In case you later decided to go to Lagos,never you invest one Kobo there. Don't ever buy land there even if they are selling it five naira. Do your business and think home. If you want to come to Onitsha,I will assist you without collecting Kobo from you.

Lagos is not new york, all your money might finish in Lagos if not utilised properly, Lagos is shitty and very expensive even in the slum.
Abuja would be better for you in my opinion..
In Lagos, they will steal, stress and extort you in one way or the other...but first, which business you wan do?
