BusinessRe: Part 2. Entrepreneurship Is A Scam In Nigeria As Well As A Multiplier Of Poverty by Crixie(m): 6:09pm On May 31, 2016
oneolajire:
This is serious. You are clamouring for mor of conditional and traditional entrepreneurships we have been practicing for over 30 yrs, with little or nothing to show for it. I can never support an educational system that handicaps our students and graduates. My point, what are graduates supposed to be? Innovative or conditional entrepreneurs
Innovative entrepreneurs of course...Am only saying that we can't neglect or discourage small businesses.Remember 'Dangote did not invent anything but he is a billionaire today.He made money as a trader before venturing into production.He is a graduate too

BusinessRe: Part 2. Entrepreneurship Is A Scam In Nigeria As Well As A Multiplier Of Poverty by Crixie(m): 5:53pm On May 31, 2016
If I were president Today,I would encourage more "Walmarts" than I would "Facebooks" because more employment opportunities will be generated Directly and indirectly... How?..u might ask
1.Building of these places of business for These retail outfits will need supply of cement,rods,timber etc (from retailers), professional input both skilled and unskilled (builders,architects, labourers,surveyors,Painters. etc)
2.Packaging materials (those printed leathers n paper bags) will be sourced locally.Shopping baskets n trolleys will also be sourced locally...so more jobs for the producers of these products.
Skilled and Unskilled employment opportunities (Sales persons,cleaners,security personnel etc-unskilled.Managers,computer maintenance personnels,bakers,cooks etc skilled labour of a sort)
3.These retail outfits will advertise themselves so more work for advertising n marketing firms.They will use P.O. S more work for banks n software personnels of these banks and so much more.
Now if u carefully look at this u will find out that Jobs have been created for both graduates n non graduates (n possibly undergraduates)
Moreover an avenue has been created for massive sales of produced consumer goods.
When some people see the mass patronage of these consumer goods in these stores,they will want to engage in production with or without help from the government in other to make money.
Pls dont get me wrong , Production n innovations are extremely important to the economy too
BusinessRe: Part 2. Entrepreneurship Is A Scam In Nigeria As Well As A Multiplier Of Poverty by Crixie(m): 5:20pm On May 31, 2016
oneolajire:
Answer to the first question. It is the responsibility of the government to massively invest in research, science and tech in order to help have people with innovative ideas. Developed nations creates agencies to help people with innovative products develop and commercialise their prototypes. They have numerous labs and sophisticated workshops to help bring ideas into realit in developed nations. So I believe it is the responsibility of the government.


I don't just believe in expanding sales or retal markets when we have not increased our industrial and manufacturing centres. Shoprite and others are majorly selling imported products putting pressure on naira-dollar exchange rate. For the local products they sell, we can always have them in the open markets. Hope u know Mark Z I worth more tthan 30 billion dollars(according to Forbes). That adds to the GDP of America, banks manes use of his profit for loans and lots more.
I love innovative products 100 times more than innovative sales.

Besides, when you greatly increase innovative entrepreneurs, it means your graduates are intellectually capable of creating jobs, it means your educational system is functional, it means unemployment is no threat. But when you think of how to sell, sell sell, you'll only sell imported products. Shoprite of S/Africa, Mcdonald of USA, are in producing nations, so selling is so good for them.

Pls try read this this I wrote it as well. It will explain more. The topic is 'eradicating mass unemployment with realistic job creation strategies'

https://www.nairaland.com/3060620/eradicating-mass-unemployment-realistic-job
I understand what you are saying ,but try to understand me.We are using present day Nigeria as the point of reference.
1.In Nigeria today if we have 80 million unemployment people,u will agree with me that a greater percent of them do not have a university degree.(50 million non graduates vs 30million graduates for example).How do we eradicate mass unemployment in this case with realistic Jobs? Pls bear in mind that these are not correct figures,m just using them as example but I hope u get the gist.
2.Innovation is wonderful,it can lift countries from poverty but what can be done in Present Day Nigeria where our revenues from oil is not even enough for all our spendings.Which would rather do as a leader...Channel money to innovations(ie Labs,University grants etc) or Support already budding entrepreneurs (Traditional n conditional) and Why...in a bid eradicate Mass unemployment with realistic Jobs
3.I and some other Nigerians don't see how Innovative companies like Facebook,Disney,apple etc,gave Birth to their billion dollar ideas with the help of the government.Pls help us understand more.
4.In American in as much as companies born from Innovative founders have really helped their economy and provided mass employment opportunities,Do you think they employ more people than The retail businesses,primary businesses(Including various boutiques, restaurants,fastfood outfits etc)
5.Don't you think proper development of of these small businesses will go a long way in preparing the way for the BIG businesses (After production/manufacturing I believe retailers play a might role in money making process of production)
Innovation n production is wonderful for any country but believe me Nigeria also dearly need these "Traditional" n "conditional" businesses if we ever dream of eradicating Mass Unemployment

Thanks, I appreciate your comment. I noticed you tried to pitch tent with traditional and conditional entrepreneurs, but was silent on creation of innovative entrepreneurs. But if I may ask, why didn't you make mention of the impact of innovative entrepreneurs in the world at large?why didn't you tell us the need for making our graduates innovative entrepreneurs instead of being frustrated into the supersaturated world of the conditional entrepreneurs?
Pls I need you to comment on this.
I only mentioned the both of them because from the original article,those two looked like they were not as relevant to economic growth as others. I didn't mean to infer that they are better than the other forms of Entrepreneurship you mentioned,I only hoped to point out that they are very important to Aid in poverty reduction n provision of employment opportunities.
Pls explain further,whose Job is it to make graduates Innovative entrepreneurs?.Then I would us to do a little mental comparison ..How many workers do u think Facebook has as compared to how many workers Walmart has...If you were the President of Nigeria today,Which of them would you encourage to open up offices (shops)in Nigeria in order to help you tackle poverty and unemployment ...pls give a reason for your choice.
Thanks n I await your answer.

Good Morning OP and the wonderful people of Nairaland.I must "hail" the writer of this topic...it is indeed wonderfully written,making a lot of Sense.But I would have to disagree with you a little because of the Follow reasons
1.Conditional Entrepreneurship is incredibly necessary to reduce poverty n indeed crime levels in any country serious about growing it's economy.Instead of sitting at home idle,these "conditional businesses" can go a long way in putting LEGAL money into the bank accounts of Nigerians thereby reducing poverty Level.
2.Any good economist /country would never neglect the potential of "Traditional Entrepreneurship".You might understand better if you have travelled to Dubai or discussed with one who has been there.RETAIL business is a billion dollar biz there, so are businesses like KFC,WALMART,SHOPRITE,MACDONALDS etc in America and Other developed countries.The above mentioned retail outfits and their franchises generate billions per year and provide employment to thousands of people.Talking about Taxi driving...I believe some of us have hear about UBER.
If adequate attention and technology is channelled towards development of traditional n conditional entrepreneurship,believe me,these businesses will go a long way in reducing the poverty level of Nigeria and also increase employment opportunities.
Entrepreneurship is not meant for everybody no matter how "attractive" it might seem but if you have decided to be a business person,take out time to study,keep yourself abreast with recent technological advancements and always seek to use it to the advantage of your business.I believe with this,in no distant future we will have our own versions of UBER,Aliexpress,KFC and so on in Nigeria
God bless Nigeria!
