Karaye camp

I enjoyed my stay in camp, it was a wonderful experience.

Which set or batch?

They are dull joor.
During my set/batch, a guy fought with a soldier when he misbehaved, the commandant ordered for a thorough check and they caught about ninety something corpers hiding.
Those ones, played smart by pushing the soldiers towards the gate and escaping.
The act angered the commandant and he ordered for another check, they caught about forty something corpers, again!
This time they were very strict, but still a corper played a fast one by dropping a fake name and KN number, as they were leading them to were they will serve their punishment, the guy japa.

The thing pain the commandant ehn,when they tried getting him through the KN number but realized the real owner is a lady.
He ordered for the soldier man to be thrown into the guardroom.

No be that same camp(Karaye) me and my guys(roommates and lodgemate) dey always flex without going to parade ground unless we feel like or there is an important notice to be given out.
We don build caves/shell/hideouts full everywhere.

That main lodge(one-story building) has a lot of hiding places.

odysey:

Make we dey optimistic sha.

baba, to the glory of God I'm very successful in my businesses too. But you can't win all battles. Trust me, the big fish feed on the small fish and that's how it is in the business world too.



If you open a 10 million naira supermarket and suddenly ShopRite buys the land opposite you to open a mega supermarket you go fold up oo. People are naturally drawn to big and shiny things.


Not all battles are worth fighting when I can still make my money in other ways

No be lie my brother.

More wins for us.

Ole gbe!

Ole gba a!

Meaning thief(bank) carry from their customers(via unnecessary charges), another thief(customers) collect from them(bank).

tonididdy:
Dude your kind of business is a business that is concentrated in a particular area.
It's like if you want anything computers, phones... You go to Ikeja computer village.
For the OP this is not the case.
From his post he was the one and only in that area until this new competitor came.
In a setup like yours with a concentrated market, there is no need for upgrades, everybody go sell and that's a fact because it's a market place.



In a market, there is little or no competition. Even the smallest shop in the market sometimes outshine the bigger shops in sales.

Bro, you're not getting the point.

My business area is not the concentration area, the concentration area is kinda far.

What I mean by left and right is that there are concentration areas and few shops on both sides before you get to my business street.

BTW, you said concentration area business is easier than isolated one?
This statement shows that you don't know much about business.
Do you know how many big men/companies move away from those areas to isolated areas, just to have a free business?

In concentrated areas, you have to be mindful of your prices, while in isolated areas, you can always control your prices the way you want.

You even said there is no competition there, ... Bro, you haven't been into a business before abeg.
One thing about concentration area is more people come to that area, but it's everything competition.
That's where you see what a competition is all about.


Your last line is totally false... Listen an average buyer go for the best price and who do you think has the power to sell at lower prices.

Most big buyers go for the big sellers, and the smaller ones shuffle between the two. Do the maths and tell me who has more customers.

tonididdy:
Do you have a business?
Do you know what is competition in business?
Don't pray for what happens to that dude to happen to your business. Most times it's the Beginning of the end.

The way you people assume things ehn, so because I made that statement means I don't have a business.
Aside that, I was born into a business family, I started handling my dad's business(major seller not small scale) when I was a teen.

Mr man, don't judge people like that again. This is a faceless forum.

Now, listen carefully, I have a business. The guy competition is even small, because he only has one competitor to worry about.

Can you compare that to someone with many indigenous competitors?

Where my shop is located has major sellers both on the right and on the left.
Not long ago, someone we used to talk opened(moved) his shop nearly opposite to mine.
Some of my competitors are trading from their family houses, you know what that means, right? No house rent to worry about. And they have been in that area before I opened my business.
There are other things I won't be able to type here.

Mind you my business is not even up to a year and it pulled through all these.

So what are you saying again?

Sholaco:
Hahahahahaha igbo people would now call for her head just because the lady said the obvious truth, and when she was saying sweet words, many of them were calling her "our wife" gosh! Hypocrites

M*m*

xtervaganza:
only God can help you ooo.

I had a bet shop last year where I spent over a million naira to posh up and business was moving fine. Suddenly someone rented a a very big flat opposite me and spent over 3 million to set the place up. All my customers left and I ended up closing the shop oo



May God help you sha

You fvck up Oga, you for look for ways to turn things around.

You and your competitor still dey the same league na, you fvcked up.

iHart:
One big problem some business people do not understand is that, though sophisticated equipment may lead to cheaper services and products, but maintenance is far far expensive. When you start, you think you are in business and you price low, when one machine needs maintenance or repair, your brain will reset. I still tell op to persevere. The big business will eventually charge same price with him or even higher than him. Its just a matter of time.

All these ones no fit do line business nor survive where I am doing my business.

Anyway, his business is a service providing not goods selling.

Cutting price etc, may not be a good move on the long run.

I don't know much about that biz, so I won't advice you on what to do.

I will only comment on a general business knowledge...

In business, you need to be on alert for anything. That is, have plans to take necessary actions in case of situations like this.

Your competitor knows you're in that area, that is why he did what he did.

Judging from what you wrote, it may be difficult to compete with him, since he has machines which you don't have.
Had it been you do, it would have been another thing entirely.

If I advice you to liquidate and venture into another business, it will be as if I am pushing you to quit.
Will you be OK with the little jobs that may be coming or do you have plan of reinforcing the biz with those machines soon?

I have seen people sell below their cost prices just to keep their competitors in check.
Note, those people receive rebate, gifts etc., which in the long run they are still making profit and this is mostly done by those that buy directly from companies, those that own the building where their businesses are located.

Youset get fans pass Pere?? Baba abeg change ur dealer, I take God beg you

E go clear for your eyes na.

The last time he was up against Pere, shebi you see the bottom six percentages? Shey yousef dey dia?

wisdomkid:
Lolz, you didn't specifically say Season 6 BBNaija. You said BBN (which encompass all seasons) are like Nigerian movies, one knows how it ends. Which was the reason I brought other seasons and how the outcome wasn't as expected.

Seems you're not intellectually matured enough for these type of discussions.

Sorry.

Smiles, so you don't even check names you quoted before replying?

Anyway, I'm not the same Peron you quoted earlier. I quoted you when I saw your response to him/her.

This has nothing to do with intellectual maturity, you failed to present/construct your point well.

kestolove95:

Imagine the dumb comparison.
