At this time fleeing is the best thing to do as there's now shortage of food and life expectancy is likely to drop for those who choose to stay back while the SOE is in force!

What of tortoise car or catch fire! It seems People name cars based on what they look like or what they are known for!

Congrats OP and hope we never experience something like this ever again!

Your case reminds me of a reverend that survived assassination some years ago, he was shot 37 times and his assassins thought he was dead luckily he was merely in coma and sympathisers rushed him to the hospital where he eventually recovered and is still alive today!

Roast Boko Haram with Scud missiles and drones, fighter jets and gunships are not enough! Show them what the IDF did to Hamas in Gaza and West Bank!

There are many small businesses one can start in Nigeria for less than N100k and the list can run into hundreds and possibly thousands but for anyone looking to make a start, I will recommend these 5 ideas. They are not too hard to set up and offer some really cool money making opportunities.

Blogging

While you are not guaranteed millions of naira from blogging in a short time, you can certainly make a lot of money over time usually in small amounts coming every few days, then weeks, then months and so on. Some people make just under a few thousands a month, some tens of thousands a month while others might make hundreds of thousands. It depends on so many factors but the main ones are; niche, amount of traffic and level of competition. But blogging is one business you can start today in Nigeria for less than N100k

Laptop/Tablets Business

There are many opportunities within this niche for one to make money. You can be involved in buying and selling laptops or tablet PCs accessories, parts or even repairs of laptops.

Travel and Tour services

In big cities all over the world many people travel for leisure and business, but not every one of them has knowledge and information about how to find great travel arrangements that will save them money or time. That leads to an opportunity to be a travel agent, supplying services to potential travelers and making some really cool commission for one self in the process.

Boutique Business

Selling clothes will never die as a business. People who understand the clothing industry and make every effort to bridge the gap between needs and supply in Nigeria are going to make some really cool money for themselves eventually.

Lunch delivery

In big offices and commercial areas people must have lunch during office hours. Not everybody can go to fast foods and most people only go to roadside eateries for lunch for lack of better. Beating the competition to it can really make a difference by providing a middle ground, make your food cheaper than fast foods but of high quality.

Don't mind them! When Ben Bruce was in Charge he changed their logo then shortly after Tony Iredia came on board and returned to their ugly old school design. So many bad belles in Govt service!

Will he be co-starring with D'banj?

Don't mind people and their shallow reasoning!

How are you just means hope you're doing good, any harm in asking? That is how they say you must not use your left hand to give or collect something as if the left hand was not created by God!

These are the top 5 businesses in Abuja based on how lucrative and common place they are. If you have the capital to roll in the league of the big businesses then you might consider looking into these for a start.

Abuja Night Clubs/Lounges

Abuja is full of fun seekers many of whom have so much cash to throw around and what better way to do this than to spend it recklessly at night clubs and lounges. Let’s not forget how quickly you’ll find wannabes who think showing off is a necessity. At bars and night clubs you’ll find all class of cash spenders both contenders and pretenders hence why opening one especially in the high brow parts of town is such a money spinning idea.

Abuja Schools

Another common business opportunity is setting up a school that targets a particular segment. Some schools are obviously aimed at expatriate community such as the Centagon Schools and America International school while others alternatively target middle class folks such as the pacesetters college in Wuye to mention a few. Whatever the case Abuja is a rapidly expanding city and the demand for schools offering qualitative Education will continue to be on the rise at least while the public schools fail to leave up to expectations.

Abuja Restaurants and Bars

Do you ever consider owning a restaurant or bar in Abuja you’d be doing a smart thing if you pick Wuse 2 as your preferred location. But don’t limit yourself incase your budget falls short. Other great places to own a bar or restaurant include parks/gardens of select shopping plazas that are located in densely populated and busy parts of town. This is mainly an evening, weekend and public holiday kind of business.

Abuja Hotels

Hotels in Abuja are as common as street lights. This is understandable because there are a lot of visitors to Abuja on both diplomatic and business visits. Rarely do these visitors rent apartments to stay in, rather they opt for temporary accommodation in the form of hotels. Although the business is capital intensive hotels generally in Abuja record brisk business.

Real Estate

If you can buy land cheap in Abuja do what every sensible investor is doing now, buy and hold for a few years. Land prices have always been on the rise in Abuja especially as more development is expected to reach many parts of the city not yet covered. Karshi, Sabon Lugbe and Orozo are a few examples of areas where land ownership today could translate into millionaire status tomorrow. Typically people develop land in Abuja to build plazas/shopping malls, hotels or residential buildings. The choice is yours to make.

Jonathan and this him cap when will he ever go out without wearing it?

Hope this would translate to good dividends of democracy especially for we Nigerians!

Most people obviously criticize because they feel it's the "in thing"

Provide substance when criticizing not insults!

Many people know that there are clothes and there are clothes to buy and wear. What I mean by that is there are designer clothes and there are cheap imitations everywhere you go in Lagos. When you hear of Oshodi, Yaba, Katangua, Iyana Iba, Aswani, Jankara and what have you what first comes to your mind is second hand clothes. But that is not all there is to know, other ideas that should come to your mind should include money, self employment and business.

Many people have set up small businesses with very little and have made a lot of money selling clothes from even their own homes. Some have taken the business to their schools, while some sell in offices even to their church members. The point I am making is that selling clothes in Lagos Nigeria is a lucrative business. There is no limit to this business because there are so many people in this city and therefore a long list of waiting customers, you just have to find a way to get to the market of cloth loving folks.

Selling Second Hand Clothes

The journey to money making in this business if you have little capital is to start is with second hand clothes. Don’t laugh at what I just said because it’s true. Except if you have plenty of money to invest in the business, most likely you will start with second hand clothes and where as this may seem insulting but the economy makes it so. Where are the suppliers of second hand clothes? Places like Aswani market which opens on Tuesdays every week or Oshodi Market or Katangua market have answers. On the other hand if you are enterprising, then travelling all the way to Cotonou is a good way to source cheap ‘Okrika’ or OK as some folks like to call them. As for where to display them, anywhere people will easily notice them.

Selling Grade ‘A’ clothes

Some people may glorify second clothes by calling them grade A. As long as you are not the first person wearing it then grade A OK which looks new is still Okrika. Most grade A clothes are sold to the young especially people of school age (university and polytechnic students) but sometimes they may be sold to young men and women working in corporate organizations.

Designer clothes for sale in Lagos

These clothes are sold to fashion conscious people who have money to throw around. Designer clothes are usually sold in boutiques. Some places in Lagos noted for designer cloth selling are Adeniran Ogunsanya Street in Surulere, Allen Avenue and Opebi Road, Awolowo way in Ikeja

How to start selling clothes in Lagos Nigeria

Depending on your goal as an entrepreneur or small business owner, if selling clothes is what you wish to do then you have a number of options open to you. First you may want to sell fairly used clothes in small display trays or on tables as some folks mostly in the poorer parts of Lagos do in front of their homes (please this is not for the proud). This depends anyway on the kind of neighbourhood you are based in (I don’t expect this to work in highbrow areas) and if your Landlord wouldn’t mind you doing so. Also if your street is a very busy one with many people passing by and taking notice of it. Of course these clothes should be better than relatively of more quality than what obtains elsewhere and should be relatively less expensive to attract many customers.

Selling Second Clothes in Small Shops

Another way to go about this is by selling in stalls or small shops. Some other people sell clothes in small shops along very busy roads. Some popular places where this happens in Lagos Nigeria include; Oyingbo, Along Ojuelegba-Lawanson-itire road in Surulere, Awolowo Way in Ikeja etc.

Selling Clothes in Boutiques

Boutiques are by far the most lucrative ways to make money in Nigeria from selling clothes. Nigerian youths in our major cities like to imitate their western counterparts. They love to wear what’s in vogue and don’t like to be left behind. This means selling trendy clothes and fashion accessories is the way to go if you intend to set up a boutique for this market. But there are other markets also such as the corporate market, women folk and even sports lovers e.g Selling Barcelona, Chelsea, Arsenal or Man United branded T-Shirts and scarves.

Mobile Clothes Dealer

Some other people take their clothes selling to another level. I remember during my service year one particular clothes dealer who used to sell clothes with his motorcycle. He would move from one village to another on his bike usually targeting public gatherings, markets and schools, of course he was making cool money as well. Even in school, some business savvy girls sell girly clothes to their fellow female students in the hostel and hook up with them elsewhere sometimes even going to meet women in their shops or at the offices.
In a nutshell, selling clothes must be based on who those clothes appeal to and why and approaching them in the best way.

There are at least 47 million unemployed Nigerians who are seriously searching for a means of livelihood but are locked down in an unending spiral of lack of opportunities and unemployment.

The good news is that everyone has ideas in his/her head and we only need ideas to start a profitable small business in Nigeria. For a start here are a few small business ideas to look at if you’re based in Nigeria.

Sale of Honey

There is a trend among Nigerians especially in the middle class bracket to embrace healthy friendly diet. Many of them take to eating out at select restaurants and bar in a bid to avoid taking something that may negatively affect their health. One of such health friendly products that suits almost any budget is honey trading in this commodity would prove to be lucrative considering that the margin is high.

Events Planning and Management

Everywhere you look in big cities in Nigeria there’s one event happening. Many people would love to get married but don’t have the time to plan their weddings, parties and what have you. Who else will they turn to if not event planners and you can guess just how many people we’re talking of here thousands upon thousands of professionals in many of Nigeria’s big cities.

Home Made Cakes and Cookies

It is increasingly becoming a sight to note how well people appreciate specially made cakes, cookies, waffles and pies that regular fast foods don’t supply. When you’ve seen the best of two worlds why settle for less that seems to be the logic behind people who take pride in chasing deliciously made cupcakes, cookies, apple pies and many more tasty pastries.

Cocktails and Smoothies

If you find yourself at an upscale party or event where there are no fizzy drinks being served but smoothies, cocktails, mocktails and chapman then you’ll understand why the world around us is gradually taking form in terms of offering health friendly drinks to guests. It’s hard these days to find parties organized by high net worth individuals overlooking this essential item. This is a business idea you can start with as little as N20,000.

Rare Designer Perfumes

Designer perfumes are in high demand. We Nigerians love to show off and don’t like to be left behind. You’re right to say we’re vain in our thinking because frankly speaking that is just who we are. Perfumes make a strong fashion and status statement that make people feel better about themselves. If you’re in this business then you’re offering confidence as your selling point, tell me who wouldn’t pay to have more of it?

See your mouth!

Personally I think Asari is running his mouth if you recall in 2008 it was Ateke Tom who initiated amnesty talks with the Federal government after JTF pounded his head quarters and he narrowly escaped being killed!

Niger Delta militants will take up arms again and throw the country into chaos if President Jonathan is not re-elected for a second term in 2015, former militant leader Mujahid Asari Dokubo has said.

Addressing a news conference in Abuja at the weekend, Dokubo, who led an arms struggle against the Federal Government for years in the past, said the peace in the Niger Delta at present is because Jonathan is president and that chaos will return if he is denied re-election.

“The day Goodluck is no longer the President all of us who are on sabbatical will come back. There will be no peace not only in the Niger Delta but everywhere. If they say it is an empty boast let them wait and see,” said Dokubo, who as leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force (NDPVF) coordinated a campaign of violence in the oil producing areas.
Militant activities disrupted oil production in the Niger Delta for years until a Federal Government amnesty programme was instituted in 2009 by then-President Umaru Yar’Adua. Of recent, Nigeria’s oil production is falling again because of large-scale crude theft.

Dokubo, who is also former President of the Ijaw Youth Congress (IYC), said the relative peace in the Niger Delta is because Jonathan is president and not because of the amnesty programme, which he said he had rejected because he committed no crime.

He said Jonathan has performed better than previous governments, and that he is holding the post of president for the Niger Delta region which should have an uninterrupted eight years before power would shift to another zone.
Dokubo also said he was opposed to the reported plans by the Senate to introduce a six-year single term for president and preclude Jonathan from running in 2015.

On the feud between President Jonathan and Rivers State Governor Chibuike Amaechi, Dokubo described the governor as a traitor who has chosen to return the people of the region to years of slavery.
Dokubo spoke just a week after President Jonathan’s adviser on amnesty, Mr. Kingsley Kuku, was reported to have said in the United States that chaos would set in unless Jonathan is re-elected.

He said he was reiterating Kuku’s prediction of “dire consequences” should the President fail to be re-elected in 2015.
Dokubo’s latest stance on Jonathan is a departure from his comments in December when he criticised the president for allowing “greedy” and “corrupt” people to hijack his government. Dokubo had said Jonathan will not win re-election unless he got rid of those people, but none of them has been removed from the government yet.

romanlaw: Obviously most people defending this inhumane act are yorubas, as we are used to them dfending Tinubu, Fashola, Lagos State even when glaring that they guffed. 'V got a girl that work in Glo and for ages she have bin singing how Arogant and proud this Adenuga of a man is. I think that just the difference between him and Dangote . Dangote is very humble and down to earth.

Reason and comment sensibly no need for 'Hug-washing'

Seems insulting and criticising Jonathan harshly has become a hobby for some people!

Who does most of the stealing in Govt? Is it not civil servants? Are they not members of organised labour just as he stated? Think well before you run your mouth. By the way GEJ is not the only person in Govt so don't attack only him if you feel you must rant over his Govt's failure they're others to chew as well.
