Is there a way to set up an eBay account and sell securely and genuinely from Nigeria, with our terrible postal system,erratic power supply,ridiculous internet browsing packages and untrustworthy officials?
They should be a way to sell and ship items and make a profit, there is a huge market out there!
Any ideas?

Dear Segedo,
I would be very interested in
seeing the paintings that you do, I am interested in art work, paintings etc.I would also be very interested in your marketing technique regarding this issue. Have you got a gallery in Nigeria that stocks your paintings? do you sell them in Nigeria or abroad? My hope is to eventually open a gallery in Lagos but I am still working on my plan and finances.
I also have a gallery in Ghana that is interested in vetting new paintings so if you are interested maybe we could do something together. Please get in touch.

These days having just one source of income could be disastrous. let's know if you share this view and how many streams you've got. Specify please.

At the moment i have just 2 - revenues from my paintings and dividends from stocks.

I hope to have 3 more before the year's over - from a regular job and 2 other businesses

I am looking for old genuine items to sell abroad,if you have any old items from you granparents or from your village that is just lying around or which you can lay your hands on I will be interested in buying these items.These items can be from any tribe in Nigeria.A trip to the village could earn you money.There are a lot white people looking for genuine African trasures,not all that tourist crap that is sold in Lekki market

I have this new substance which I want to market as a cockroach killing substance in Nigeria, I have tested it and it is very effective .What do you guys think about a new cockroach killing subtance.It is better and not toxic like baygon and rids the homes of cockroaches for months.
I need information on packaging in Nigeria,marketing,Nafdac registartion and costs.I also plan to give out a few free samples.Does anyone know where to find those kids that sell on the street?are they employed by a marketing company?Any advice will be higly appreciated

@ angeleses,

keep your head firmly in the sand and dream on!!!Alas, grammar will not sort out the problems of our once great nation

(Nigeria), I say once more the masterplan of Nigeria has been lost long ago!!!

And by the way dear angeleses  what you got to offer the country? only grammar? [color=#000099][/color]

In fact angeleses I think say you don de colo

[quote]Did he know him from anywhere? Did he know why he was being deported? Of course, anybody in such a situation, resisting deportation would try to whip up sentiment and unfortunately, Mr. omotade himself got caught up in the 'we have our rights' thing. He should have simply minded his business[quote][/quote].

[b]@ Folem ,who needs enemies when we have fellow Nigerian brothers like you?

This what we are talking about (we are so selfish) it was his business because we are meant to be our brothers keepers,that is how we look the other way and deportees are killed while been deported.

Becuae it seems you have your papers and the right to be in the UK does not mean that you should feel contempt for fellow Nigerians who are illegally here.
The fact still remains (as I live in the UK too) we are sometimes treated as animals because we are black and we are Africans, we need to stand up for our rights.

The pilot was scared? please give me a break.no Nigerian would do anything to endanger a plane while they are in it (Nigerian are scared of death) and by the way Nigerians generally look the other way,but it must have been that the deportee was been treated badly (as they usually are).

I will look into this story,but I am sure that the officers would exaggerate the situation,who do you think the police would believe the well respected white pilot or a bunch of black Africans in economy class

I have been in this country and I know that everyone lies, even once I decided to demand for my results in University and the woman said I was talking too loud and been aggressive to her, I said I was not,well she said she did not want to deal with me that I should come back tommorrow,when I refused she said she would call the police_I said she should go ahead that I was not aggressive,she then said who do I think the police will believe her and her colleague or me (a common black African student).

And why should he not do the right thing? do we not have rights as black Africans in the UK? do Indians,chinese etc fight for their rights ?why not us?

Well what more can I say,stop been a coconut and stand up for your own!!!![/b]

people keep on pointing individual success. what about what's happening on the macroeconomic leve

Thank you bawomolo  that is what I was trying to say.Not individual success story but the standard of living of Nigerians in general.This is what matters -macroeconomic leve

Do not keep your heads in the sand my people!!!

Do not be blind to reality-we are not pessimistic but facing reality!!!

Nigeria is jagajaga is it not true??

@HR.hotness

spreading the feeling of hopelessness and dispair isn't doing us much good

Well there is nothing much else to spread around! or is there?

In any country no matter how bad of course they will people who make it! but the % that make in Nigeria is very very low, if not we will not all be struggling to get out or somany of us will not be living abroad!!!

With no job and not a kobo in your pocket how are you meant to look at the bright side ? do not fool yourself.

We are not spread hopelessness but facing reality!!! it is better painting a true picture and letting people take their chances rather than painting a false one and misleading people

136 Nigerians were kicked off a BA flight from London to lagos because they complained about the treatment of a fellow

Nigerian deporte!one Nigerian was even arrested and is now been charged to court (and banned from Ba For life).

We should all try and complain (if need be ,protest enen) and organise ourselves and boycott such airlines.

We should not allow BA to get away with such behaviour ( at least we should demand an apology) and also petition our embassy and goverment so they act.

Thank you Kunlef for your reply, I will have a look at the places that you mentioned.I would also be looking for individual artists that I can work with.I am not in Nigeria at the moment but I travel down regulary to get items to ship back to the UK.

Keep up the good work on your website.I am looking to get a website created , can you give me a rough idea of how much you paid for yours and recommend a someone/a company to to me.

I will look forward to hearing from you.
You camn email me personally at abbeyoju@yahoo.co.uk.

It has become common practice now for the Goverment (Nigerian ) and other citizens to continue to label their fellow Nigerians as corrupt and crooked!every country has it's bad eggs!why do most of us put other Nigerians down ? we have also helped contribute to

the hype (false hype) that Nigerians are tthe most crooked people on earth!!!

We should move away from this and focus on our good qualities, rather than the negatives.Every country has its own problems -the US -Lack of morals,gun crime etc.

Please discuss-constructive and balanced answers please.

One thing that we can all relate to in our different cultures is art.
We should use art as a positive medium to promote our culture both within Nigeria and abroad.

I wonder why we have not used tourism to our advantage , like Kenya ,south Africa,Ghana,Gambia etc

I am interested in all forms of art work both mordern and old,If you can source any please let me know.

If You are a lover of art or a visual artist (Painter,sculptor,carver etc) and appreciate and purchase art work made by our artists please drop a line .
Why are black people (particularly Africans) not that interested in art work, yet we tend to have many talented and well known artists amongst us.
Our art seems to to be appreciated better outside of Africa!
