Mynd_44: As if baba Shoemaker is that dumb

At time parting with half or less of somone's wealth might just be as a result of the love of pity the man still feels for the woman.

Some men will do anything to make a woman happy even if she decides to break the man's heart.

PurerareGold: B4 U̶̲̥̅ judge, make sure you are perfect. She probably hid it from him for the same reasons as what is happening now. She was probably scared †☺ loose him. I am not condoning her actions o. Has he ever doubted her love for him? Why now? That a woman has a child b4 doesn't mean she can't be married. Let him sit her down. This is the best tyme †☺ get all the truth from her if there's more. Personally, I think he should work it out but if he can't, he should let go. I am sure she will adore him for the rest of her life if he sticks by her.

Well said but the trust' in the relationship will seize to exist.

Ileke-IdI:
She's harboring a potential abuser. They never see it.

maybe she is actually the one abusing him.

Below are some of Nigerian Entertainers, Sports People, Artist and professionals who have put Nigeian name of the Global arena.


*Fela Anikulapo Kuti
*Bash Alli
*Chinua Achiebe
*Wole Soyinka
*Dbanj
*Doctor Alban
*Austin Okocha
*Femi Kuti
*Agbani Darego
*Oknjo Iweala
*Psquare
*Genevieve Nnaji
*Mary Onyianli



The above list are people who recognized with Nigeria and accepted Nigeria as their country of citizenship.

The likes of Seal, Sade Adun and the rest do not qualify for obvious reasons.

Feel free to add up to the list.

So correct as weel on point.
Wanted to come of with my own list but can rarely think of any true Nigerian brand aside the one you have put up.

Dear People,
I will answer as much questions as I can (may not be too detailed though because I am not too free right now)

@BoboYekini,
The fact that businesses keep failing everyday is no reason why anyone should loose hope in starting on.

Banks sack everyday yet people roll over each other to get a job in the bank.

NDLEA catches people everyday yet people take the risk of smuggling drugs everyday.

I gave the above examples because you absolutely have control over the situtaionunlike being a business owner where with proper planning and strong positive mind set, you can operate your business over 50years.

In this my lectures, I will NOT talk about the internet money making business. Not that I don't believe in it but I will rather let people get trained on 'real life' (touch and feel) mode of business. More people have gotten their hands bitten in the internet business than any other sector.

@Super1759,
Its not all about attending seminars and exhibitions. It is about PRACTISING it. It like a man who is an expert driver in video game car racing and jumps in a car, starts the ignition and wants to zoom off. Bearing in mind that he as never driven a car.

Though its a good thing you have a good knowledge of the nitty gritty of being an Entrepreneur, but it takes only 'action' to attain that success and dream you crave for.

@Yamakuza,
That's a huge one naming up to 20 business ventures but this is what I will do, I will try and name as many REALISTIC businesses one can startup with N250,000 or less. The pros and cons of each will come in subsequent responses.

Please Note that some of the above stated job description fits perfectly for both sexex and also most of them are SERVICE delivery and (NOT) PRODUCT delivery.

The difference between the two is that Service delivery needs very meager startup capital as you won't need much money to start it up.

Life in general is risking so it isn't different from starting up a business.

3 key things you need before starting a business is;
*Believe in yourself
*Have a Dream and Stick to It
*Determination and Will to Succeed

3 key areas you should get to know about the basic knowledge are;

*Accounting (Financial Knowledge)
*Management
*Customer Satisfaction

3 unavoidable processes are;
*Sales and Marketing (will explain the difference later)
*Brand (Development and Strategy)
*Legal (no business is too small to understand the legal backing and have one).


I will like to take the permission to change this thread topic to -

The Entrepreneur's Class (All You Need To Know)

boyendowed: I think it's best to wear a suit.Like you quoted "you are addressed the way you dress".

I will rather wear a jeans and shirt (personally) and do a brilliant presentation than deck in suit and be stuttering endlessly.

The best of Consultants across the world usually wear casuals for their presentations. Is it because they already know their onions?

Please! Please!! Please!!!
Let's not divert and pinpoint just one instance and derails the thread.

I only used Prah as a case study because she is known all over the world.

Do we know how many ladies out there who are willing to marry just anyone of any age, status, tribe and religion just to be addressed as MRS?

Believe it, millions of ladies out there are having sleepless nights because of lack of a husband.

@brownjay, its not always easy the way it sounds. No single person no matter how rich, healthy or of high status that doesn't have one thing they cry over /for.

obamat: I like this thread and I will share my own story

I told my father that I love to do transport biz when I was in yr 2 in the university and told me its good.
Started phone call and recharge card sales dufing my yr 4 IT as a mech eng undergrduate 2004/05,saved 200k from it in 10mths gave the money to my uncle to buy me a bus to start campus shuttle 2005/06 but he spent my hard earned cash.I was left with nothing.
I continued with the phone calls after graduating but returns was not as the starting time I tried to divesify into some other things so I set up a piggery and it was doing fine until I left for NYSC 2006 and I employed someone to take care of the farm but it collapse in couple of months.
After NYSC I set up a cbercafe with 4 computer and a starcoms phone and I was making money small small.
I got a job with an engineering firm and employed someone to be in charge but the biz collapse after like 3mths.ok everything is finished. i gave the phone call centre to my younger sister to use and make her own life while I start a new life with my new job in Portharcourt.
Portharcourt is not easy to stay if you are not with a good job, my job was earning me 47k in 2008 and I was wondering why I came to PHC but I determined to stay and make it in PHC so I discovered a fertile biz which was the transport biz I`ve loved to do as they stoped motor bik in PHC 2009 so Iran arround and borrowed money from everybody and I bought my first car for taxi biz march 2009 it then made a return which I was able to buy secon and the third in the same year and more till date. I`ve been able to put food on plenty peoples table. I am married and have a child am in my early 30 and i just bought my own personal car last month.

Lesson: Start from somewhere, do biz you can monitor, be focused

God bless you for this contribution.

It is often said that you are being addressed the way you dress. i quite agree with that saying.
But what about dressing casually smart to attend meetings, interviews and corporate gatherings.

What i mean is what is your opinion on a young man wearing pair of sneakers and probably with a face cap and go for business meeting, job interviews and other corporate gathering or even a lady wearing such.

Afterall what every one needs is a problem solver.

I have had course to dress casual as i always do to meetings in top banking and telecoms firm. while everyone else is all decked up in suit, tie and the rest. i am feeling so cool with my pair of jeans, shirt, trainers and nice wristwatch with a good perf to go with it.

By the grace of God i will answer each and every question before the end of today.

Diamond112: Hi,this is my first time on nl.just find this topic so interestin and tempting.am a graduate and i know about sewing of quilts and little of curtains,my problem with business isdeptors and am d shy type that wil wait till u com to pay my mony. I really lov to go into busnss but am scared.some of my friends will tell me dat its better i get a job where i wil be receivin salary than doin busnss.pls guys i need ur advis.

I am glad my thread was one of the first you visited
you can click on my profile to view many more interesting threads as well.

To your question. NEVER EVER MIX BUSINESS AND PLEASURE. i.e; DON'T HIRE WHO YOU CANT FIRE.

The best of entrepreneurs are the most displined, rugged, and fearless set of people.
Have it at the back of your mind that if you have to get rich in life you have to always stand your ground as you will never satisfy everyone in this world no matter hownice you are. So why dont you just being yourself.

As for your friends, i am sorry to inform you that you need to keep seeing them to discuss you entrepreneur plans or ways of financial freedom.

Afterall a mechanic can seek medical or legal advice from a fellow mechanic. He has to go meet with a doctor and lawyer.
What i am trying to tell you that your set of friends are only giving you advice from how clearly they see things.

Chck out their financial status of achievements in life, only then will you decide if they are worth emulating and capable of giving advice.

loladeking: I've known all this things all my life, ever since I was 18..yet to practice it, I don't understand the business aspect

What about if i offer to give you 100% free consulting / advice on all your enquiries, questions, and ideas.

you and everyone coming from this thread is getting same offer.

ny little contribution to willing entrepreneurs.

Wake up man. Don't lose hope in yourself and your future.

redcliff: My father. He died many years ago.

So that's lack of a parent for you right?

^^^^ VERY LOVELY AND ENLIGHTENING CONTRIBUTION.

helpee: I am using this a two edged sword...to thank God and to encourage my people. Though I am a professional, a medical doctor. After medical education, I decided to acquire a lot of skills medically even with a meagre pay and learn the rudiment of private hospital business.I started less than two yrs ago and today, we make more than a million per month with most of it profit. I was carried away though...after one year, I bought an expensive car to the tune of 4million and my landlord got jealous, gave me a quit notice but my tenancy won't expire in a year so I am negotiating for a property in the vicinity and my God will buy it for me. Mind you...I do only legal medical cases with thorougness, no abortion just my God. I started with a loan I took on my salary while working for anoda hospital two yrs ago and I stayed with them for one year after to complete the loan but I insisted on only night duty. I deceived my oga I wanted to write exams so he should put me only night. My story may look different cos I am a professional but if you know I am 32 and most of my mates are still begging fashola to top up their moni above 200K then u will know its not easy. Bottomline; courage and dare the odds!

I appreciate every single poster but your story, @adecoline, @billynoire and @bigx, and the coaching lady are my favorite so far reason being you people gave an insist to the struggle and how it all started and that's the essence of this thread.


I believe a whole lot of people are getting inspire by this thread.

.

horny4u: My thoughts exactly apart from forgiven...you only forgive people who are repentant and who apologise I guess but he is a wonderful teacher and a very wise man.He is indeed blessed but I donot subscribe to MOG syndrome.

And a very good Business man too.

Started this thread yesterday. Because of the HOT and catchinh topic it had 150 views with no response. It just totally shows Nigerian youths are not willing to take that risk. They want to keep playing it safe.

https://www.nairaland.com/987784/hot-vacancy-100-job-security

@Billyonaire, nice one. I love it when people give a little details about their journey like you have done.

Also its 100% that entrepreneur is not for the faint hearted. Will post a link in a giffy.

Nairalanders be warned this advert is fake.


*the website has no contact details.
*it has no other meaningful information aside the copy and paste details from consulting sites.
*the only major like that appeared in more that 3 links on a single page is the link "to submit your cv"

*submit your cv at your own risk.

The people are criminals that wants to steal your personal data and then keep send fraudulent e.mails and text messages.


Be warned!!!

Billyonaire: Just touching any of my cars will trigger off the fhucking noisy alarm.

Gbogbo big boys.

Biggyd2: Someone close. Went for Sunday service. By the time he came back, he met an empty space where he had parked the car!

And of course he covered the car withe the blood of Jesus before enterying the church.
He would have really felt God hated in so much at that moment?
Why on a sunday? what was his sins and so many other things are what will be going through his head.

delimit: I think insurance is better than tracker since insurance covers accident and theft (comprehensive) though sometimes insurance company can be funny
Most car snatcher now have decoder to decode the tracker

Every single insurance company will insist you get a vehicle tracke or some kind of security if the insurance is to cover theft.

Few days ago i started this thread - https://www.nairaland.com/985128/fela-femi-falana-eedris-abdulkarim

Downt it just prove that it is clear who really deserves to be honored in Nigeria?
If i be babalawo i for don hammer well.

brownlord: am really confuse by your level of ignorance and stupidity, reading your first two line, i already concluded that you should be a Muslim or non christian, but seeing you talking about someone thrown to hell fire thereby suggest to me that you are not only foolish, but your sense of reasoning may be has been tampered with, i never expected you to believe in heaven or hell fire with your statement, so this bring me to the question, WHERE DO YOU BELONG, as no true christian would say Oyedepo is a fake pastor

I wont trade words with you just a simple question.
How does one identify a true pastor?

Oluesther: I am not saying he did the right or wrong thing. God should judge that. We cannot achieve anything by criticising men of God.

Okay, do you want to go and kill him for looting your money? Please let us leave all that for God. Believe me, it won't be easy for anybody on the judgment day, both you, I, and the pastors. Pastor, Reverend father, etc., all ends here; those are titles.

Let me even run my own race and win a crown first, before I will start condemning pastors and others.

Please don't write or talk with so much hatred for men of God.
Thanks!

Believe it or not, it will be way easier for you and I to make it to Heaven than these men.

'Cus while we openly commit our since, get crticized and ask for forgiveness, these men deceive people, hide to commit sinful acts and place the blame on other people who are too scared to confront them. Inshort a larger percentage of them are just hypocrites.

If you read in the 4 corners of your room, study the bible very well, do good deeds and stay clear sinful acts, render charitable acts and be extremely sincere you do not only not need these men but also will make Heaven earlier than them (that's if they make it).

Heaven is in the heart and deeds and not in the speech or hands of any man.

stone07: You would not be saying this rubbish it Bishop Oyedepo happens to be your uncle or your father.Poor thing like u.

I would have long disowned him if he was my father.

How will I allow my father play on the ignorance of people and then enriching himself. That's so unfair in the eyes of God.

What happened to those catholic, methodist and Anglican leaders who still shuttle around in the old modeled peugot 505 and 504 as well as benz 230? Does it make them less men of God? Or will their frugal lifestyle not make them pass the message correctly across?

Did you ever read any verse in the bible where it was stated Jesus had a Horse not to talk of 'flock' of Horses? Or had God not created Horses, Donkeys and Camels then?

Did you hear Jesus acquiring Lands, Farm lands, Cattles and Sheeps? Just to enable him pass the message farther and wider across nations?


Where was it that Jesus made friends with rulers and monachs of those days just to gain favour and be friends with those that mattered in the land?

Jesus ate, wined and dines with people of lower status and those who were almost giving up on life. Yet his messages spaned across nations and reigned thousands of years after.

Religion and Civilization are absolutely two different thing that should never be mixed.

brownlord: Is this not madness?

You should know better because its a common gene in your family.

InnoT1: i pity u! U tink u can jst talk any hw u like, wer u der wen he slapped d gal? If no den shout up ur stinkin mouth, let GOD b d judge

Don't be silly.
So aside them stealing your 10% income they also replaced your wisdom with stupidity. That's pathetic.

Does it mean because a Judge wasn't at the scene of a robbery incidence he should render the robber a guilty man?

The video is all over the internet for you to see and even oyedepo didn't deny it either. he openly boasted about his action.
