Whistleblower: noun/ a person who informs people in authority or the public that the company they work for is doing something wrong or illegal.
Mr Kolade, why didn't you make your knowledge of the illegality of the committee's affairs known to the public, while you were still in service of the committee. Also, it won't be too much to ask, of you to show DOCUMENTATIVE evidence, of the corrupt and illegal activities perpetuated by elements of the committee.
Mr Kolade, you were compelled to resign, because of your kleptomaniac behaviour, but because of your "good name" the government kept this quiet.

..........If only you guys knew this man in person!

Hi, i have a restaurant chain business idea, and have been looking for a partner or an investor. The restaurant if executed properly would be very lucrative. I have estimated the start-up cost to be between N600,000 - N700,000. The restaurant will target middle and low income earners and can be expanded into any part of the country. Lagos is the state i would prefer starting because it has desirable factors that will help the business grow faster. The restaurant will have a couple of chains and a corporate head that will manage the day to day activities of all the restaurant chains. So if you are interested and want to hear more let me know.

Please can we talk more on this?

Thank you dotsdavidson.

But make no mistake about this, strategies may differ in different region and countries but principles are the same. Trust in America, is Trust in Nigeria.

But back to business model. The banking industry is a unique industry that has exhibited models that have differentiated various brand from one another. Before the coming of Standard Trust Bank, we can recall that banking experience lack user friendly approach ranging from inability to withdraw from another location, long queues and ledge banking...But STB saw the need and created a model that solved those concern and swept the middle and lower level customers, which are large but may not control huge part of banking funds. Merger & Acquisition messed up the model (a lesson for another day).

One Bank that has redefined the banking experience and are still doing a great job is Guaranty Trust Bank, they both have this likeness for 'Trust'. They created a model that focus on making financial services easy for customers with deep attention to branding and technology. That's the only bank with long queue, but customers don't seem to switch because of the network effect that effective business model create.

Once again, what is your business model? If you get it right and faithful enough to stay true to your model through time, that's the making of Giants. Let me say this again, no model is full proof, the 'S' curve principle apply to them all, that's why its always important to evaluate your model before you miss the next wave.

My Apologies for foreign examples, we would endeavour to remain local with global perspective.

Well written my brother. I trust the message will sink in better with these examples. It will give us the confidence that this is achievable since we can identify with it at our doorstep.

We are following!

Welcome back from Holiday!

We have been discussing on business model. We would like to simplify it further trying to remove every ambiguity.

Ray Kroc went to his bankers when McDonald was looking for funding with a business model of building 'chains of outlet where cheap and quality hamburger are sold', he remained true to his model and today its a multi-billion dollar corporation.

Jack Ma gathered 18 founders and pitched a business model of setting a internet company that 'help small businesses do business easily', that give birth to Alibaba, the world largest online marketplace.

Sam Walton had a model of building 'chains of retail outlets that would save customers money and offer wide selection'. Walmart was born from that model and became the world largest retail outlet.

The world has been drinking coffee before Starbuck was born, but Howard Schultz bought over the company and re branded the model to 'selling variety of brewed coffee in a conducive atmosphere'.

No business model is full proof that is why opportunities abound everywhere. Experience business people understand the need to constantly keep evaluating their business model especially when its successful ( to avoid what happened to kodak and Nokia).

The important of a business model is that it keep you in check of what you are trying to do. Business enterprise are avenue of solving problems or making the world a better place. Businesses without a model or adhesion to a model are just means of survival, which is what we find in over 80% of businesses in Nigeria. The founder connect a pipe straight from the business straight to his personal life rather than a storage tank in which he/she has a limited access.




Many thanks for this piece OP.

Its high time Nigerians started making use of indigenous companies to drive home their point on business teaching. We operate in a perculiar environment and what works over there might not work in our local environment.

There are many successful businesses locally, kindly do us the honour of highlighting them in your next post.

@johnstin:
The 2.5MT to 5MT is a mini gas skid. What kind of digital filling heads/scales are you planning to install? Do you have a picture that you can share?
How do you connect an LPG Dispensing pump to the tanks? It would be easy to kill 2 birds with one stone, by having an auto gas dispenser connected to the tanks, so you can fill cars and cylinders at different points, simultaneously. Does your cost include fire suppression systems?
What is the average construction time for a mini gas skid? undecided
It is not advisable to construct an LPG plant in a residential area. It is best to look for a commercial site close to the expressway, where LPG trucks that need to carry out delivery of gas to the site can easily turn and manoeuvre their way in and out of the site.

@Johnstin, kindly respond asap. Thanks

1. No, the quoted N5/3.5m doesn't include the cost of land.
It includes the LPG tank, dispensing unit (pump), piping work and digital scale units.


2. The DPR requires a standard plant to be sited on four plots of land. The minimum distance from a tank and a fixed source of ignition (residential buildings etc) is 15m.

However, several investors in Lagos and Ogun States, just find a convenient space that may not be even up to a plot of land to install 2.5 and 3 Ton tanks.
A good understanding with neigbours is very important for its successful operation.
Many others also partner with filling stations to place their 2.5/3 Ton tanks there.

3. The quoted sum is constant irrespective of the location within Nigeria, but the transportation cost of the tank (s) and other components will be borne by the investor.

P.S If you intend to construct a plant on a piece of land in a residential area, ensure that you seek the approval of the community (especially the house owners adjoining your plant) before proceeding.
This is important because you may find it diffucult or impossible to get the necessary permits if the community members write petitions to the regulatory authorities like DPR, State Land and Physical Planning, etc.

Alternatively, if you suspect the community will kick against it; maybe there are one or two enemies of progress in your community, never disclose to anybody that you are constructing a gas plant.
Apply for and process all the necessary permits before even bringing your tanks to the site.
Your DPR approval process must get to an irreversible stage before you commence visible construction at the site.

We are currently experiencing this very problem with a gas plant sited in a residential area.
The owner of the plant secured the support(albeit reluctantly) of the community at the inception of the project, but they changed their minds in the aftermath of the explosion at the Arakale Gas plant in November, 2014.
Consequently they wrote petitions against the project to DPR, State L&P, Comm. of Police, Town Planning and about four other agencies.

The project is at a standstill as we speak.



Thanks for the insight. If one is looking at a location like Abuja, partnering with a filling station might be the best bet, because one may not be able to get away with inadequate land area specification unlike Lagos and Ogun.

The total cost as spelt out does not require the necessary license/permit cost. What is the estimated total cost of obtaining same.
