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 .

OfficialAPCNig:

2. I plan on selling foodstuff ?
3. Which area and market will be conducive for
me to start this business.

Elstan20:
I want to leave my current location due to circumstances which I can't control and moreover business here is very slow

And I want to deal on raw and not cooked food

Different agencies of goverment will troop into your new store to demand one levies or the other.If you dont have they will lock your store.Agbero go also display their madness.Before you know it your business go crash.

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.

Seriously?

Chicagograduate:
A trial will convince you

Love800:
Hmm.
But what and what agencies will come?
And is agbero not the same thinig with federal tax collectors?

Elstan20:


Do you think I'm as stupid like your people that place more value for luxury instead of starting small and grow .lol man I not gonna go for a high class place or shop when I'm there I go for as little as 5 or less per of my money ( I believe in starting with what's at my disposal) so go and huge transformers you frustrated tribal bigot

richeeyo:

Have been waiting to reply you
In my comments was anything tribalistic or insulting on for you to turn around and insult me,
May the soil of the yoruba land that you so much despise it's people drink your blood

Chicagograduate:
Local government will come.Iyaloja,who is the daughter of Tinubu has her tax collectors who extort different types of levies from traders.There are morning, afternoon and night touts levy extortionists.
Another set of government will come for a levies that you don't know.
They may ask you to pay 10k,but will reduce it to 3k without receipt.
All this money end up in private pockets instead of government purse.

If and when you eventually want to start your food business, consider Port harcourt. Food is sold at an exorbitant rate here.

Akinpresident:
Don't go to Lagos.

Ignore the hype.

You can go much later if you wish; that's after you've established yourself.

Stay in the east. It's much better for you in terms of growing quickly in business.

Pick any eastern town, maybe Onitsha or Aba or Enugu or Owerri, just anywhere, go to Ebonyi and source for food items. Rice, cassava products, potato etc, then buy small small first and start reselling in these cities, when you master the business, you can start reselling in bulk.

Again, don't goto Lagos. Stay in the east first.

Love800:
My God!
But how can one avoid these illegal tax. Am willing to pay the levies but how can one put a stop to the illegal ones?
What if the ur business is registered, will it put a stop to it?
In the future i plan frying snacks(puff puff, doughnuts, eggroll) on the roadside. I hope dis wont affect me.

Ebube ebube ebube na three times I call you ooo.

Go ebonyi buy bag of rice from mill come sell for kogi

If you follow my advice in two to three years you can travel to Lagos to do holiday.

House for kogi and Lagos 50-150 na face me I face you ooo.

Shop rent for kogi highest 100k Lagos go manage 400k

Security for kogi na to buy ogogoro for them #2000 highest Lagos you go pay police pay area boys pay security you to pay pay pay pay yet boys to still be boys.


Your go finish before you even start the business sef.

Dikastan:
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.
