Tech is not the easiest option. Tech is grueling. You'd break even quick doing FCMG business than tech. You'd get 30 million then do a runway of 6 months and still lose everything.

Tech startups being easy to make money is the biggest lie told about startups.

You should join startup circles on X where we openly share these truths, including the many failures and some success. Startup blogs or blogs generally ignore the real stories. 90% of startups fail. It's higher in tech.

You should read up from successful VCs like Iyin Abodeji and Paul Graham of Y Combinator on X to get these depressing stories. Tech is no quick cash venture. Except you are building a fantasy to get VC money like many Nigerian fintech startups do.

I still belief tech is the easiest,I understand what you are talking about and the angle you are coming from, read my earlier comment again and think about it. What business can you start presently in Nigeria that can be scaled from as low as 500k to 1 million naira, You are coming from the angle of VCs and Angels I am not coming from that angle. In tech you can merely start with a friend, a laptop that is not new, learn a skill on YouTube and build a business around it. Carefully comprehend what I wrote again

Rather he came to pass a massage

Also he came to free the lost, strengthen the weak, make those who are blind and confuse to see, and above all he came to establish a government

DissTroy:
Self learn? If he's motivated enough, yes. But creating a startup? To what end? Startups need to have a purpose and if you are fueled by success stories, it takes years and it's grueling. There's mostly input before you break even then scale.

Viral startup stories on X have people thinking it's big bucks immediately.

All he needs is right mindset, persistent mind, understand how to scale, startup does not always mean something that will be big but something that create value and has corporate signature, it's the best option for someone that does not have higher education, as long as there is an advantageous problem to solve, a mentor that can help navigate through easy and hard times, he is good to go. Startup is just anything you start with the intention of creating value, a church can even be one, a community can be one, even a religious organization. The idea is push your money into something that add value to others, let the street and marketplace experience educate you instead of classroom. So it's not always about tech, even though tech is the easiest option, do you understand

Jesus did not come to establish any religion

There has never been a time when God chose a political leader

lordwoz:
PLEASE, is it advisable learning WEB DEV from APTECH PH or continue with self-learning

Self learn, use the money you want to spend on learning to create a startup, I am sure what you want to learn is already become easier through AI

A little back story.

Due to some ugly circumstances, i dropped out of school in 2019 and I've been at home since then, periodically picking up one or two low paying jobs. 2 years ago, I decided to learning a tech skill. I taught myself C++ programming language and I'm currently teaching myself mathematics aggressively, studying for min of 8 hours daily.

For the past two years, I've mostly always been in my room, I can be in our house for more than two weeks, without stepping a foot out of our door due to how engrossed in studying I always am. My goal is to learn C++, DSA , And Math to an undergraduate level then use my skills to apply for scholarships to study abroad, and probably work in a hedge fund company as a quantitative trader in the future. For those who know what leetcode is, i can currently solve most leetcode (hard) problems in less than 40 minutes.

Now, I'll be 24 in August, and my dad is worried that I'm wasting my life away because I've refused to pickup any real job or learn a trade, his worried that I'm already getting old, always reminding me that people my age are already getting married. Now he wants me to leave his house to go look for my own place to stay, and has offered me 7 million naira to go start life else where.

Now I plan to move out of Lagos to PH or Akwa Ibom, then use part of the money to start up a computer business center, where I'll be doing typing, printing, lamination, jamb registration, GCE/WAEC registrations, etc. One of the reasons I chose this is because I've worked in a place like this before and I have experience in how to run such a place. Another reason is that, this business would give me time to also study and sharpen my Math/Programming skills. I plan to rent a shop that is big enough so that I can also be sleeping/living there.

Now I seriously need advicing because this is such a turning point in my life and the next few years is going to make or break me because there is no room for any disastrous bad decision

stay in Lagos, instead start a tech based startup, register your company and provide tangible value.

Greetings my fellow nairalanders...... good morning to you all....and trust we are all doing well??

I am an undergraduate studying in one of the prestigious universities that in the Southeast even thou am in my finals and I'm in my early twenties as well...and a male.
I have lots of challenges bothering me lately I would like to share with the house to help me proffer solutions.

First and foremost,
I am a very terrible conversationalist,as in i struggle and finds it difficult to initiate and hold simple,good and quality conversations coupled with the fact that I am introvert as well which I feel makes it worse(it fair for guys and worst for girls)I find it difficult to keep conversation flowing .... except in mostly extremely rare cases.i recently found out that people would rate you based on first impression and am not the kind of person that give out that first impression upon our first meeting.
Due to my introverted nature I hardly relate with people, hardly make new friends and as well avoid social activities and engagement.
I also lack confidence and am kinda shy....


I don't also have quick thinking ability.As a result I find it difficult to properly articulate my thoughts and express clearly my own opinion, contribution and suggestions in a given topics of interest......I also don't understand concepts,ideas quickly unless its someone I have known and have been discussing with for a very long time(my understanding ability is not strong).
N.B:I also say things off point.


I also have the problem of bonding......like I don't easily bond with people....it is extremely difficult for me to do so....I had this problem with my previous roommate and having same problems with my current roommate(not like and troublesome oh).... I have come to realize that communication strengthens bond btw two individuals especially especially if its on area of interest for both parties

lastly,
I discovered that I was an effeminate man....... I discovered that my upbringing contributed to and played a major role in this one ......

pls my fellow nairalanders help me......how can I overcome all this....pls your input and contributions will be greatly appreciated...

I just think I need one on one counsel....

Go and join JCI, Lions Club or Toastmasters international. Watch and listen to Public speakers. Get books on public speaking, confidence is a skill you can develop it

AmgAmg:
I recently received an inheritance and now have over ₦150-million just sitting here, doing nothing. I need solid advice on how best to invest this money. I’m looking for a moderate to high-yield investment that won’t be affected by the depreciation of the naira.

Let’s be real ….. we’ve all seen how bad the naira has devalued over the years. The last thing I want is to put my money into something, only to wake up in a few years and realize its value has been slashed into half. You know what I mean. Even if the business is in naira, it has to be highly profitable so that currency depreciation won’t eat away it.

I don’t want meaningless or negative suggestions…. only serious, well-thought-out opinions . I’m open to meeting up as well….. to discuss solid business ideas, and trust me, a handsome reward awaits whoever brings the best proposal.

That said, let me be clear:
I have the Commissioner of Police and EFCC on speed dial. If anyone thinks this is an opportunity for a scam, just know that any fraudulent attempt will be dealt with the full extent of the law.

If you have a genuine, profitable, and well-researched idea, let’s talk.

I have something that will benefit you a lot, but I can't explain it here, in summary it's a business that requires corporate structure and has arbitrage benefits, you can as well get foreign investors upwards of $150k for owning 10% of your business if you follow the lay down processes, if you are interested in getting more details chat me up on 08089456258

DeLaRue:
Nigeria is certainly lagging behind and should be doing a lot better in.many areas.

But some of the countries people are quick to compare Nigeria with have more than 300-year headstart over Nigeria.

Comparison is good, but we also have to be realistic.

Today, the pace of change is so fast that I now fear many developing countries may not be able to change fast enough to satisfy their populace. The first movers - Western, and some Asian countries - are so far ahead, I don't know how African countries will catch up. The world system, including globalisation is also not in our favour.

Egypt is struggling badly. South Africa has not progressed much economically. Ghana is on its throes. Most African countries are basket cases.

These days, the more I look at the world in my private moments, the more I fear we may never catch up with the curremost successful countries in the world. At least not for many generations.

Our systems and our minset as a people are far removed from what they need to be.

We should not try competing but leveraging, our eyes are always on infrastructural development but we often leave out the bedrock which is human development and human capital development until we get both foundation right we are just joking

To where?

LP

Mikedel80:
LP will oust soludo in Anambra state after this his tenure. He will be punished for not talking rubbish about Obi and for not aligning with LP. It was clear to him that the whole state is supporting Peter Obi, he went ahead to be campaigning for APGA. That will be the end of APGA in Anambra. Always listen to your people.

He will decamp

Justananonymous:
Good morning Nairalanders.
For the sake of anonymity, I created a new account.
I'll shorten my story and ignore some part for the sake of not reading lengthy words.

I'm 22years old (a guy), will be 23 in a few weeks.
I am a victim of sexual abuse, I felt my parent didn't do enough and I wasn't even able to associate well with my parents to telling them what happened.. especially my dad(well, I spoke out and we sorted it out) I got attached to my mom because we stayed mostly with her because my dad was transferred but whenever he comes back maybe for a visit or we visit him, he beats my mom till he got her eyes damaged now she uses glasses and facing the issue of cataracts. Sometimes I would ask my mom why she's still with him though.. But it's well.
I have never got to like my father, he never gives opportunity for one to speak up or be yourself and they tend to over control.
He has done well in the aspect of sponsoring my education but that doesn't still make me like him.
I'm in the university 300level, I'll be graduating next year. Most of the breaks, I don't like going home because it's never fun at all and they are only concerned about the words of people, which I don't care about..
Well, I've tried to like my father but I can't..
Then my mom uses this statement that really gets to me and annoys me “you will also have children and your children will bla bla, will you be happy”.. Most times I'm often repelled to listen to her and not create a scene.
Fast forward to this election break, they've been calling me to ask me to come home, to come help my parents and do this and that I said "NO" and my mom called and said a whole lot.. Well, I'm safe where I am..

Am I wrong in any way?

If you want to move forward in life, forgive your dad, forgive every other person that offended you. Leave the house and pursue your life purpose, push the energy into getting better, then you will be free

Balogun212:
I want daily income. I have invested in real estate already

Okay then no better option than buying and selling of high value Commodity.

Balogun212:
Good evening.

I have been going through the investment thread for the past weeks and can't be able to figure out what business one can invest the sum of 10million and get good returns.

I have read some topics here, got some clue but haven't hit that jackpot. I'm technically savvy and I want to diversify to other source of income.

Pls suggest what business can give good return. Thanks.

Nothing else but real estate bro. In Nigeria if you buy a land or building and it is genuine you can either sell it later at an higher price, rent it out or use it as collateral.
With 10 M you can go far in real estate business if have the right mentorship.
Meanwhile with as little as 1 Million Naira you can become a member and stakeholder of a Cooperative myself and some Networks formed for a vision we Called Achieving 10,000 Homes for 10,000 Nigerians in 10 years via Cooperation, Value Engineering and Human Capital Development

Bros Don't be trapped by Government job.
There are more jobs you have to land and upscale.
Don't let government job overshadow you.
Even the private job you are doing you should be leaving for another periodically and get better pay

Aboguede:
Please, every opinion is welcomed but honest advice.

Okay, I have this very close friend of mine and he is in a cross road now and wants my best advice, so I decided to learn from others too before giving my opinion to him.

The boy is in his mid thirties now and just was an abroad base but decided to now base in Nigeria. He is asking for my advice on what business he can start with 1million naira and be able to save 50k weekly.

For the records, he said he also has some experience in Internet browsing and he will also focus on blogging in his free time plus some little crypto treading only as side hustle.

I am thinking of advising him to buy a 9ja used car and use it for uber during the day while he can then do his blogging and crypto hustle at night., like, uber or taxi from 6:30am to 7:30 pm having 2 hours break from 12:00 to 2pm. Then blogging and crypto from 8:30pm to 11pm then he can rest on Sundays.

Blogging, commodity flipping, Crypto trading is a good option

DonPagli:
Suggestions, Data, etc to back which option you'd go for, if you had N100m capital.

Between a hotel and a petrol filling station in any capital in Nigeria

Please read this, you won't regret it.
https://www.nairaland.com/7557230/need-financial-partners-social-network#120685726

Meanwhile instead of hotel you can build short let's and do daily renting or event hall which can have some guest rooms around
