Not really that bad

Just watched the video attached. It looks fair but if going on a long distance travel, one would need more than one cylinder...which will further reduce the space....

How much of CNG is a full tank for that kind of cylinder?

That lack of trunk space is a big issue oh...very big one

By Ebenezer Mabinuola

According to Business Day, a leading business newspaper in Nigeria, 80% of businesses in the MSME category in Africa, fold up within 5 years of establishment.

To avoid failure in business, here are some 5 strategies to deploy.

1. Have a business structure- Never run your business casually. Have a defined structure guiding your operation, payment of salary (including yours),
Knowing when to take a loan and when not to, having records....etc...

2. Be ahead- Be innovative with your business.
Look for ways to always stay ahead of awkward government policies by thinking ahead.

For example, always be on the look out for alternative supplier of raw materials in case government policy affects your current supplier.

3. Deliver top notch service always-A lot of Nigerian businesses don't prioritize customer service.

Always remember: One customer is a gateway to other customers when one customer is treated right.

One customer can equally bar other customers from coming when that one customer is treated wrongly and shares the negative review.

For Nigerian tailors, this has been a very big issue.
A number of them never keep to their word or treat customers poorly. I have experienced this myself on a number of occasions.

4. Choose value over aesthetics- learn to choose quality service and value on money spent over packaging with low value.

When starting out, focus on being known for the value you bring to the table not your packaging.

In the end, your brand worth is based on the value your customers derive from your product/ service not your branding.

So, do what you can to reduce cost...power generation cost- you could stick with fan instead of AC, office rental cost- choose a mainland location in Lagos instead of Island to save cost, office maintenance cost- use someone around the office axis to clean instead of employing a company to run it...etc

5. Be accountable- Belong to a community of business leaders who can guide you and hold you accountable to your dreams.

Carefully select an established business person to mentor you. This way, you can avoid pitfalls and move faster progressively.


People like Naijabrandchick, Triciabiz, Emeka Nobis, Paul Foh etc have strong communities for business owners. They have a track record of delivering and You can join any.

What other areas do you think people need to focus on when running a business in Nigeria?

Mods naijacutee, dominique, FOD, puskin FP please

This will be great if Baker Hughes MD said it......but I've known Baker Hughes for many years and they're a very thorough and thoughtful company when it comes to investments. Investment suicide is not something they'll consider because they won't pay kickbacks or bribe anyone

The people at the helm of affairs are just too wicked to let go of bribe. They don't care if the nation suffers. As long as it doesn't benefit their pocket, let it not benefit others

casualobserver:


A world that has female pastors/clergy despite the Bible clearly saying it is forbidden.

That's not true. Nowhere in the Bible says that it is forbidden for there to be female pastors.
Quote the place and we will analyse the context together

IamAsiri:


Exactly! He possibly doesn't know the meaning of minimum wage. Here in Nigeria where an average spaghetti has turned to 650-700, I don't think those who collect 30k monthly can afford to buy those groceries 3 times out of their salary without being in trouble.

They dare not. They can only try to buy food outside maybe twice a day max

AllDModsAreMaad:

Taah, I guess you have not meet people.

That guy's salary is peanut bro...

No way he can be in the top 0.005% of the entire population.
You think 6 figures, probably mid of it i.e 500k is a very big salary? LoL, bros na base on what you know and people you deal with go make you reason am say na one special payment.

Did you see the part where he mentioned two hours of work a week?

How many people do 8-10 hrs of work a month to earn like 500k+ naira?

If they give you this kind of side hustle will you reject?

By the way, 500k salary in Nigeria was worth 2000 dollars+ under Jonathan....but now worth less than 500 dollars.....500k naira salary is a good salary in Nigeria. Inflation caused by government mismanagement reduced it's worth.

honour7:
It depends on the Job he is doing her in Nigeria we're i work, I only work 2hours a week and salary is in six figures

You are in the top 0.005% of the entire population

Good video.

A few things to work on:
The video seems too fast....too fast....

Tajbol4splend:
Go learn valuable skills and stop looking for salary jobs, salary job is not a life, stop letting people use you

Learn Tech
Learn Communication
Learn agriculture

These are the areas where money is, stop being lazy

You just shared solid gold mine areas. Solid

Luizkid:
He tried but this is not what we need now. It's risky for a pregnant woman to travel by road from Otukpo to Makurdi. Fruits are wasting away in Railway Market. Fixing of bad roads and food processing industry is what Benue needs the most right now.

That wastage of fruits is really painful.
It will take a lot of commitment from government to see the roads constructed and security put in place to attract the investors who want to enter into food processing

RepoMan007:
3 billion cans every year and 1.8 billion of those in Nigeria. That's some eye opening stats.

Big market

Trimjos:


You just took these words outta my mouth.

I doubt if there's even a black south African that is a millionaire in USD; I really doubt

Haba dem dey nau

Menclothing:
Each state should invest in food production that can feed 300m population

That's a long term solution...that needs to be followed with strict implementation

Gajagojo:
Actually it is fashion in Nigeria

We did not have any die by fire noise makers in the 70s. It was in the 80s we started having the Pentecostal Miracles and the likes of Bonnke coming to do fake miracles in Stadiums
That is fashion
It has passed

The simple truth is that there are so many versions of Christianity from Catholicism to Jehovah witness to Olumba Brotherhood to Synagogue of Nations etc They are all scams

That is the common denominator

Scams to deceive poor and ignorant people with their prosperity and miracle teachings
Ultimately they are BUSINESS

The earler Nigerians wake up to the scam of imported religions the better

You don't know what you are talking about the moment you mentioned Bonnke. There are people who witnessed the miraculous in those Bonnke meetings. Not staged. Real time miracles. Documented and recorded.

billionman:
Kudos to Tunji-Ojo. He is up and doing. I got my passport ready within a month. Application, capturing, production all done in 25 days.

Which location and how much does it cost

ycat:
I was shocked too, but the woman said casually that "only beans bugs" when I told her that I've never experienced that before. Though she offered to give me another one, I decided to pass on it because if they sift it, I won't see the bugs but the eggs will still be in it.

It must have been from the processing.
Most likely processed by folks who are eager to make quick gains. No care for quality.

Cpumping:
I pity this one if she try go fight another girl. The way they will drag they hair eh.

Lol dem go help her tie am to gate...

ycat:
Gari now has insects, I found insects in gari 3 times in July or August and the store owner said it's normal. I'm Ijebu but no more gari for now.

Na wa oh...I never hear say garri dey get insect before

PedoBear:
I have been to Juarez, Mexico and the experience wasn't a pleasant one


Locals wake up to see snitches or sluts hanged naked on flyovers with public inscription


You don't talk any how if not you'll end up in a ditch luckily

All those one are extremely violent...ultra-violent...
The killings there too much

OZIOGU1:
My organization photographer is a female and she earns a very good salary, but remember you must be beautiful to choose that career

Lol...your last statement

LegacyB:

No wonder the Chinese people we are backward. Where did he derive the fund used? If not Nigeria . If your uncle do same to you. People like you will be the first to label him a bad uncle. You can’t be more Catholic than the pope . Stop all this gibberish talk Abeg.

You need to drop this kind of mentality bros make I tell u truth.

If God bless you tomorrow to become public figure, you sef try to share money to see how easy it is. The man doesn't owe anybody no explanation for how he spends his resources.

Never try to hold anybody accountable for his expenditure because he's a public figure.

Use this same energy to hold your political office holders accountable. Hold them and leave all these talk.

BigIyanga:
So you’re asking banks to recapitalize in anticipation of $1tn gdp without workable and actionable plans.
For our Naija economy of $449bn gdp to hit $1tn in the next 8 years, it must grow @12-15% per annum ..who dash this power??
So you’re asking banks to recapitalize for a projected and unattainable number… which means that ,if they’re seeking for FDI, they’d be required to LIE that they operate in a gdp of $1tn instead of $440bn??

For FDI to come in...the government has to really stamp her feet on the ground on corruption, insecurity and sabotage of all sorts...

Infrastructure nko....

Master plan that would be followed nko?

Kheemjoel:
I stay in the North and I can tell you that grasshopper is widely consumed among these northern states.....some de sell and export in bags....different means of cashing out de this life.... come my side see as people don turn crazy millionaires with tomatoes and potato farming...never underestimate any bizz for this life sha no matter how simple it looks!inside life!

Where's your side of the north?

georgeakins:


He is not doing it because he loves the poor and homeless.
He is doing it because he wants to be known world wide.

Pastors are more worldly than Nigerian politicians

What observation made you come to this conclusion?

kareemkamil:
Mad man feeding people that are ok

I am sometimes shocked the way a number of you make comments here. How can you tag someone you don't know personally a 'mad man' because he's a public figure...u sef reason am

LegacyB:

In several Nigerian state right?
Bros don’t be too blind sometimes. We love and celebrate these men. Yes, but no one is without faults.

The point you are trying to make is very awkward.

One, the person isn't a political office holder.
It's not his job to provide for people in all states.

Two, I don't think it's fair to talk trying to undermine his current contribution to the lives of people when you don't do half as much as he does.

Three, one man can never solve all the problems of the people. Even the government, no matter how effective, cannot.

rickleye:
Hmm as much as I applaud the ministry.
How about those at home. I mean expand the ministry here at home. Instead of just feeding the people why not create jobs , educate your people at home. N5million would go a long way at home.

Well..also know that they can't solve everyone's problem at home.

They already do so much on the home front.
5 million wouldn't solve so much at home looking at how big they are as a ministry. Believe me, their monthly spend on people a month could be running to 30-40m a month in Nigeria....

judedwriter:
Simply go to her and say,

"madam, please your cooking with firewood is bringing too much smoke in my room. Please can you adjust your cooking to gas?"

Reason with her, she's isn't a monster, she won't eat you.

You can't go direct like that. She will blow things up

Dybala11:

I like your reply, Jesus loves the sinner and hates the sin. Now you've pointed out the inconsistency you saw in the arrangement between the transgender community and the Pope compared to what took place between sinners and Jesus in the Bible. Once again, I like your reply. 👍👍

You got it. He loves the sinner and hates the sin.
Aptly said!

Iamzik:


You still have not given any scripture so let's leave it at that. Let's learn to differentiate between Bible doctrine and denominational doctrine.

Do you honestly believe that your forefathers who married two wives went to hell because they are polygamists? Is David or Abraham or Jacob in hell?

Paul said that a man that will lead the church should be man of one wife.... church leaders not every Christian. Let's learn to understand the Bible for ourselves and not take denominational doctrines without asking questions

I like your questions. They are good questions.
However, I wasn't speaking from a denominational standpoint.

Two scriptures actually highlights God original intent for marriage

Genesis 2: 18-24
Matthew 19: 4-6

When Paul spoke about those who want to lead the church being a husband of one wife...why do you think he said so?

Those biblical characters you made mention of who practiced polygamy, recall that God permitted the polygamous culture because man in his fallen state couldn't have kept the original structure that God planned.

This was why God had to setup a redemption plan with Jesus at the centre because the lamb for an individual, family, tribe or nation wasn't once and forever.

Praktikals:

Thanks. I have a question. Will polygamy make a man an automatic candidate of hell. Please just answer Yes or No

Questions like this cannot be answered yes or no until certain truths are established from biblical standpoint, else there will be a disconnect between your current knowledge on the subject matter Vs the biblical standpoint or recommendation. This could cause further confusion.
