I've responded to everybody via email. I have not heard back from some of you guys. One thing im noticing is alot of you guys have had bad business experiences or have been duped. I totally understand this, but lets try to figure out solutions to get past this so that your business does not become stagnant due to fear.

I am willing to go as far as sending video proof of orders that customers make. So for example. If you want to buy 15 blackberry torches. I will literally take LIVE video of these ITEMS before shipping them. This is how serious i am about doing Legitimate business with qualified people. Lets open up a line of communication about how to move forward as opposed to moving backwards.
and some have no bad experience, just delaying you with excuses and sympathy to delay you or waste your time and resources trying to re-assure them with nothing productive at the end of it!

Always make sure you have firm commitments before buying in bulk or keep the receipt always.

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=707521.msg8664949#msg8664949 date=1309980959]The same sort of thing happens in north america though too. People will go to college and end up getting work as administrative assistants or secretaries.

While this is a better paying job and more prestigious than working as a cleaner, neither requires a college degree or even community college.

I think we need to focus more in Nigeria on teaching people trades. Too much focus on college is a bad idea, I think[/quote]happens everywhere in the world!

BusinessRe: CBN Parleys Jonathan to Unlock Agric Financing by DisGuy: 7:27am On Jul 06, 2011
What is the term of partnership with your organization?

The CBN and AGRA signed a memorandum of understanding in June last year to bring our experience of doing this with other banks in other countries. My institution, AGRA, has worked in Kenya, Uganda, Mozambique, Tanzania and Ghana to help the banks transform their lending into agriculture. We have helped to leverage $170 million in new lending from banks in those countries into agriculture. When we started, we put up a loan facility and credit guaranty, with a bank called Equity Bank in Kenya. It leveraged $50 million from the bank. Today the bank has lent over $20 million to over 40,000 farmers. We helped to reduce the interest rates for farmers significantly. The loss rate is extremely low at less than 1% of the facility. We leveraged $100 million from Standard Bank, Africa’s largest bank, into new lending into agriculture. These are encouraging results. Many more banks are now seeing that lending to farmers and agribusiness is not as risky as they think. So the idea is to get the bank to move into a space that they would not normally have moved into. NIRSAL is being designed for the specific context of Nigeria, as Nigeria is very different.When NIRSAL is launched by the CBN governor you will see the details. It will be a game changer for agricultural lending in Nigeria. The focus is on real farmers.

How do you ensure that banks buy into this initiative, given that agriculture is seen as highly risky in Nigeria?

The Bankers sub-Committee on development has been showing remarkable leadership. All the banks in Nigeria are actively participating. We have organized a number of workshops for credit officers of banks, Chief Risk Officers and Chief Strategy Officers of banks. We have met with several of the CEOs of banks. Theytold us why they are not lending and what needs to be done to encourage more agricultural lending. There is full support for NIRSAL as addressing all the key issues for the banking sector to expand agricultural lending. This is very encouraging indeed. NIRSAL will support them to lend responsibly, with good quality loans going to agribusinesses and farmers. The banks all feel that reducing their risk of lending is critical for success. NIRSAL would also help to coordinate the value chain better so that banks are not just lending haphazardly but towards coordinated value chains.
BusinessRe: CBN Parleys Jonathan to Unlock Agric Financing by DisGuy: 7:27am On Jul 06, 2011
How we’re helping Nigeria run agric as business

Dr. Akinwumi A. Adesina is a household name in the agricultural sector world over. A First Class graduate of Agriculture Economics, Adesina is the Vice President for Policy and Partnerships of the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA). With over 20 years experience in fixing the agricultural sector for African countries, he has in his kitty several awards. Last week, he was in Nigeria. In this interview, he says the sector needs a comprehensive overhaul.
Why are you in Nigeria this time around?

I am in Nigeria as a continuation of what we are doing with the Central Bank of Nigeria on a programme called Nigeria Incentive-based Risk Sharing System for Agricultural Lending (NIRSAL). Basically this programme will help the CBN to leverage the excess liquidity that is on the balance sheet of banks into agriculture. The CBN and the Bankers Committee have been working hard to see how to expand the lending going into the real sectors. Our task is to help with expanding lending to the agricultural sector. The CBN Governor and the Bankers committee are doing a great job.


Now, the challenge that occurs here is that when you look at the banking sector, it has not been lending much to farmers. Less than 1% of Nigeria banks’ lending goes to agriculture where you have about 70% of the population and at the same time we have 70% of our people living on less than a dollar, so there is a correlation between the poor performance of agriculture and rise in poverty. This needs to change.

DIS GUY,
yes we can match the north African pound to pound cos a less financially buoyant kano pillars dealth with AH ahly in their own backyard not to talk of when I have money to attract the best players in Nigeria league and even buy south AFRICAN player MODISE and even SIASIA WILL BE TEMPTED TO MANAGE THE TEAM AND SUPER EAGLES AT THE SAME TIME, HE WILL GIVE THE nff a special excuse, lol, pls check hw TP MAZEMBE ROSE TO PLAY INTER IN THE FINAL OF THE FIFA WORLD CLUB, THE NAME OF THE GAME IS MONEY AND THE RIGHT KIND OF MANAGEMENT, PEACE,
You are assuming Siasia is the best thing since slice bread! I cant see where the funds will come from to match the North Africa teams cash for cash!!
They have history-Fact, they have league structure Fact, they have the management Fact!! money cant buy common sense go ask teh people at the npl/nff with all the previous sponsorship money they got, debt, court cases, wages, corruption! it's not a curse but more money in any other country means more progress, more money in Nigeria means monumental levels of corruption!

less buoyant clubs can always win more established clubs once in a while, porto won the champions league doesnt mean it will happen very often!
If more money will bring success and attract the best in the business i wonder why Qatar, Saudi Arabia etc haven't won the world cup or why their clubs aren't attracting the best

and your point in the context of this thread? you think you can bring a club from Lagos to win the African Cup just by pumping cash into it? Or you really think a non existent club or any club for that matter currently in the premier league can match the North African clubs pound for pound?

hey once a Lagos team is successful then the eyes of Enyimba and other traditional teams will be forced to emulate their pattern of management and this will bring more rivalry on who the best team is, same thing happened in the telecommunication industry MTN started but now we have about ten networks and the biggest market in Africa, peace, I invite you all to join forces with the transition holdings team [ http://www.transitionholdings.com/news.html] in bringing a dramatic change to Nigeria premier league. kcjazz i will like to talk to you and others, hit me up@, cojenterprise@yahoo.com,
A team that has won the African Championship THREE times emulating a non-existent team with?
Even Chelsea with all the money still cant win the European cup

A team from lagos will be a great addition to the current league, but lets not get ahead of ourselves-- Hopefully with a team from lagos, the barrage of criticism from the state government, the lagos media and commercial interests will whip the NFF/NPL/Sports ministry into shape and perhaps they will be able to tap into top management material based in the state

SportsRe: Commercializing The Nigerian Premier League Like The Spanish La Liga by DisGuy: 12:18pm On Jul 01, 2011
kcjazz:
What I am saying is, [b]the NFF as the owner of the league [/b]MUST deliberately seek investors and new owners for a Lagos based team
OR Support an existing team, to be based in the Lagos Market
OR Relocate a top team to Lagos

Bottomline: Lagos needs a team in the Premier League to help the leagues numbers, in an era of TV and commercial revenue, tapping into this market will change the fortunes of the league, it has never being done in Nigeria.
Its like a family with limited resources for its 6 children, and the parents decides to borrow/support the smartest child to go to the best school as a way to support the family. The plan is for 7-10 years, ending in African league success. It is the NFF that has to talk to the Lagos Government./or sponsors, it is that important.
the NFF does not own the league, the league is owned by all the state FAs and the private clubs are supported by their home state govt to an extent.

Seeking investors for a lagos based team might help the numbers but have very little effects on the the league itself, the league is not played by JUST one team, if the stadium in benue is still shoddy with no safe seats to pull people in, if 80% of the stadia used in the league are still not suitable for TV then introduction of any new team will just be a flash in the pan- cosmetic solution

if you support the smartest child to the best school and he ends up studying- history of arts or sociology best believe he willmight be okay, same cant be said of the family
