tuborme:
On a serious note:
This dude is just agreeing with GEJ policy on everything except that he does not know that massive investment is needed by the government in any sector before you start banning. Ban this ban that! Please do not ban orijin oh! that is on a lighter note anyway.

Buhari just confirmed that GEJ is on the right track, the only difference is that Buhari does not know that change is a gradual thing...you do not ban tomato paste when you do not have enough investments in producing them locally.

OBJ banned rice without having a local modern rice mill and what that singular policy did was to increase corruption because people started smuggling and bribing custom officials and we ended up buying rice for 15k a bag.

Now we have local rice mills and the GEJ presidency has said that it will ban rice importation this year.

There was corruption in the power sector, GEJ has killed corruption in that sector by privatizing it and GMB just confirmed it.

This dude should come to a debate...let us listen to him.

When OBJ banned textile materials without revamping the textile industry, it caused inflation in that sector and corruption was rife.

You do not ban bicycle without having working steel plants...it does not happen anywhere in the sane world.

One thing about GEJ presidency is that he does not care about being politically correct...he just keeps doing what is right like removing subsidy to kill corruption in the sector and make the local production of refined fuel competitive.

...love informed people like you enlightening some nairalanders. frustration has really lead people to stop thinking str8.

frankymiller:

Sincerely i have been hearing alot of nairalanders call you a dúmb phool,i just confirmed it. Are you educated? Do u think before you type? What goes on in your brain? Are you bipolar? Do you eat faeces? Do you drink urine?. I wonder what would make a mature man like you to spew most of the thrash you litter on nairaland.

....please tell the local champion

mikeansy:


and buhari will tell nigerians why he refused to submit his credentials to inec like everyone else

he will also explain how he will fight corruption with tinubu and amaechi as his financiers

ON POINT!!!!

Ymodulus:
I will take the above to be your first time doing business. Well don't get bitter over the loss. Business is a an euphemistic risk in my own definition and the first is always the learning point. Notwithstanding your loss you can make good use of the said amount ( N20,000 ) and make reasonable profit. All depends on your logic and determination and how well you can face the world.


In Importation I always like to classify it into 4

1. The Buyers and sellers. ( They buy item and sell )
2. The Suppliers. They supply item in bulk and get money. Requires more expertise money/ experience and connection )
3. The procurement guys. They buy for people and they pay them
4. Contract getters.



With the sum of N20,000 i have this pin size advice to give you.

1. Do not rush buying any item because you see your mates buying them or its the latest fad in town. Do proper research. At times the most stupid item may be the best selling item.

2. From experience avoid items that involve large money. Try get items that requires less and profit will be high. Let's get it straight in business you have to kill your emotions and its about the final money. If you are to import get items that when you bring them in landing cost should not exceed N2000 and that when you sell them you can make gain of N800 per item at minimum.

Please for your N20,000 do not go about importing these items

a. Female Bag
b. Brazilian Hair
c. Phone. ( You need more strength to sell this but it can be so rewarding mind you. )

Avoid the above liste items. its a 20% success - 80% failure chance. Also your money won't be enough to finance it. And you may not have the required market of which is difficult this does not goes to say you can't make a profit no. But let these be your last options.


Items I did prolly advice you get, are items of less value and weight. You can look into

a ) Slippers : I mean quality in-house slippers, I know you will say am stupid or crazy but sir these is the season and many guys are raking in big money from it. From Adidas to several crazy slippers design, I will send you a manufacturer for this if you want.

b ) Wrist Watches: Like it or not these are selling items. You just need to know the right way to sell it.

c) Female Flat Shoes: female flat shoes are moving like hell. Though am not into them but I can bodly tell you people on it are ploughing in money.

d) Glasses: By glass I mean Designers glasses. Complete replica. Note I said complete replica.These replicas are exactly the same undistinguishable. I mean AAA not AA or A. Meet guys like sterdam / shinaf. They will assist for free on this. And tell you how to sell it and if you are lucky sterdam may be of greater help to you here.

e). Fashion Items: Look for items in general that are used and will get finished everyday. Items that people will always want to keep coming for. Please avoid Cream Tubes as they are contra - band but if you must go for them. Contact me I will give you a shipper to handle that.

g). Generally if you must go for an item do it under these two category. Consumable Goods or Luxury.


Mode of Selling: There are many means to sell. The easiest way is through BBM , Konga, Jumia or Nairaland Advert ( I mean paid advert offered by seun on nairaland. ). I know you may say why should I pay 2000naira for an advert for 3-4 days trust me those advert change life. You can't even get such response from google AdSense. For konga and Jumia contact the nairalander. Paradise163 she will explain all you need. And hey believe me konga and jumia is the best for you. More to it than people see. But for now rake in your money fast and clear.
Olx too is another fast means but advertising in popular locations only. Post one advert in about 6 states preferably ( Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna, Ogun, Kano and Portharcoyt ).

Please also note this that the above advice is based on the premise that you want to venture into the buying and selling aspect of importation. And do not make mistake of trying to say you can go alone, meet guys to put you through and give you necessary assistance in one way or the other so you do not experiment with N20,000.

As I take a bow, I will like to hammer once more on my last advice. Please meet someone to guide you do not risk things anyhow. You can meet any of these guys.
