Who will invest in useless Nigeria stocks exchange? It's nothing but pure scam. I can never forget how I lost all the money I invested in Daar communication shares, Japaul oil and gas shares, transcorp shares in 2008. Where are those companies 'shares today? Nigerian stocks is a daylight fraud.

Guys, can you help me out with areas in Lagos where there is large number of restaurants and staff canteens with high numbers of customers? Is it in corporate areas or residential areas of Lagos? I have products I want to sell and my target markets are restaurants,bars, and staff canteens.

Nothing is making sense in nija again even business scramble due to debt. If ur goods are not given on credit then there is no patronage.

If you want to sell goods on credit to your customers, you will supply small quantities of goods for them to sell in their shops. For example, if your customers want you to supply them like 20 cartons of fruit juice, you can supply them 6 cartons of fruit juice.

Any customers that want more than the 6 cartons of fruit juice, you will tell him/her they will pay cash in advance for the excess supply.

As they sell, you will come to their shops and collect your money from them for previous supply. If they default in payment, you will not supply them any goods until your customer clear his/her previous debt. That's the trick to sell on credit in Nigeria.

Was a top 50 last year. It was a wonderful experience.

Does the Next Titan favours existing business owners only? Can a start-up also stand a chance of winning the reality show as well?

If you are into production business like fruit juice or yoghurt, there is no way you will not supply wholesalers in the open market on credit. Because as a new product in the market, the wholesalers may not trust your products enough or take a risk to make instant payment.

They will want to collect your products on credit and pay you as they sell until they are sure your products sell fast and highly demanded by their customers in the market.

So, selling credit sometimes depend on the nature of the business and you can not avoid it.

Bro, you haven't reply

Is it a dozen of pineapples that is #400 or #500? Or it is just one pineapple you mean? Also is the pineapples seasonal or available all year round like Cotonou pineapples?

Please try to reply my comment above. I want to do business with you on pineapple supply.

Still needed

It's 12 years and still using it.

What? Don't tell me he built that beautiful house from meat selling. Is meat selling that profitable? In fact some bank manager can't built such a house.

fxid10:
Ovia is where I base. The pineapple comes in different sizes. Our prizes are base on the size. The once that goes for #1800 in port Harcourt, IMO, Lagos, Bayelsa , and other busy states, is #400, #500. There are sizes for #50 and #100 which you can sell at #500 in many states.

Is it a dozen of pineapples that is #400 or #500? Or it is just one pineapple you mean? Also is the pineapples seasonal or available all year round like Cotonou pineapples?

False, those that purchase your goods on the island live on the mainland too, they may not have time to patronize you on the mainland.

Other middle class places Magodo, yaba, gbagada, Ikeja, ogudu

Perfect. Thanks. Some nairalanders are just annoying. Instead to attack the message, they are attacking the messenger. Some don't even know the meaning of middle class. They could as well say Agege, Mushin, Ajegunle are middle class neighborhood in Lagos. Rubbish.

The reason why I am asking this question is that I am a sales rep of fmcg products. And I noticed our goods sell fast on the island compared to Lagos mainland. Mainly because our products is more affordable to the upper and middle class earners. And I am sure island on Lagos has more of upper and middle class earners hence why our products sell more there compared to mainland.

The problem now is I am trying to figure out middle class neighborhood on Lagos mainland so that I can capture some market share there as well as a sales rep.

eph12:
Explain what you mean by low income earners first

Low income earners is anyone that earn less than 70,000 Naira in current economy.

thesicilian:
Are you a kidnapper?

No!!! Just carrying out a business research about the growth of middle class in Lagos.

Apart from local governments in island of Lagos such as lekki, ikoyi, Victoria island, Marina/CMS and Lagos island, which local government on the mainland of Lagos can we find large number of middle class earners that live there?

Is it true that it is only low income earners that live on the mainland of Lagos?

I need a factory space for rent in Ogun state. The factory space should be suitable for production of fruit juice or sachet water with all the nafdac standard facilities in place e.g 150ft borehole, well tiled production room, etc. Kindly comment if it is available.

What is your price of the pineapples? Do you also sell by dozens or weight? Where are you based in Edo state?

I just confirmed it's only indigenes of bayelsa, Delta and Rivers State that are allowed to apply. Any other states will be disqualified. I sent a mail to their customer care and that was their response to me.

Sir, I'm not ridiculing the dude. I'm indeed praising that idea. You people might find this weird but it's the unseen truth. Though the dude went too blunt the way he said it.

You can learn about Apple success story. How did it become world most valuable company. Also some top companies in the world.

Also, it's far easier to sell to the rich and middle class compared to the poor.

For instance, a fruit juice company will be able to sell more of their fruit juice products to the rich and middle class more than to the poor. Because the rich and middle class will have the purchasing power to afford their products and also know the benefits of drinking their fruit juices.

Whereas the poor may see the company's fruit juice products as a luxury and could not be able to afford it or be easily convinced about the benefits of drinking their fruit juice products. I

In summary, I just believe the poor are problematic to deal with. Even the richest man in China, Jack ma said the same thing about the poor

Is Edo state among the south south states to apply?

can someone from Edo state apply?

make una contribute na... Abeg no Laff am off.. Just give your own view as per you are there and you gonna know wassup

I will tell you the fact. You can not get a good job in Dubai irrespective of your educational qualification from Nigeria. The jobs you can get in Dubai are construction work, security, waiter, waitress, etc under their hot weather. And the pay is between 90,000- 120,000 naira maximum. Though, you will be provided free accomodation and transportation by your employer. Your employer will also take care of your permanent residence application. Still, I believe if you can secure a job in Nigeria that can pay you more than 100,000 naira monthly is far better than travelling and working in Dubai. Thats my two cents.

Assuming it will cost the same amount, I will go for my own bungalow with a view to develop later. I love the *MY*/*MINE* thing.

However, a point to consider is the proximity of the outskirt to my workplace.

Ur question is best answered by the circumstances surrounding it.

that is why there is a condition of city and outskirt of city. You can't eat your cake and have it.

Guys, if you are to choose between buying a flat in apartment building in the city or building a bungalow in the outskirt of the city , which will you prefer even when they cost the same amount of money ?

How many credit days do an fmcg distributor give an wholesaler in the open market? Is three days too short for wholesaler to pay up for goods (fruit juice) supplied to them in the market?

Guys, among the various fruit juices sold in Nigeria, which one is your favourite and consider the best. Why is it your choice?

3months ago I met one hot tall American man with abs and tattoo that can make you slap you aunties. We started texting back and forth and he told me that he is in love with me and he wants to marry and I should be ready to marry me.

The problem is I have been living with this guy that relocated back from abroad sometime last year and I feel like he is suffocating me because he does not do nice things for me like he used to before. When he was in the UK he would buy me shoes and bags but now he has been complaining that business is not going smoothly since he came back home and started afresh. I am deeply annoyed by his actions because he is not considering how I feel about having to post my videos and pics on social media with the same clothes and accessories over and over again.

So this American guy is into construction and he has a home of his own and his children live far away with their mother in another state, so I am guaranteed no disturbance. We have been planning how I will get K1 Visa to join him so we can get married and live happily ever after. He will sponsor me once I get there and he promised me that I will not have to work because he will get the bills paid and all I will have to worry about is my blog and youtube videos since they are very popular.

This guy from the UK that I will now refer to as my roommate, has not made things easier for me. I need money and he is not providing. I told my future hubby that I will get my visa paid up by myself but this roommate of mine has not given me enough to do so. I told him I needed to go to US to buy some stuff for my business so that I do not have to ask him for money for my stuff again but he has failed to co-operate. He is stopping me from being with the love of my life and I have been miserable since. What do I do to him since he is being selfish and thinking of his own business alone without thinking about my future? Mature advice only.

You are a very disgusting lady. I checked your profile and all I could see is your plan to marry a rich man only. Can't you hustle and be independent? Continue to search for a rich man that will be gullible to marry you as a liability. Stu.pid lady.

Guys, among the various fruit juices sold in Nigeria, which one is your favourite and why is it your choice?

Since I started investing, I have invested exactly 97℅ of my savings.
My car isn't in top shape. I could buy a brand new one, but I have decided to invest the money instead. I have put away over 24m I could have used for other things. All of these investments are in intangible assets. No land, no cars.
Am I making a mistake here in depriving myself or in not acquiring tangible assets? I really feel like I'm being unreasonable, and I've started googling philias & phobias related to investing.

Please help. I'm pretty known here so I have created a new account. Thanks.

Madam, if you can invest in my business plan which is manufacturing of fruit juice, it will be worth it and profitable to you. I need start up capital of 5 million naira to start it and the company name is also registered at corporate affairs commission. Quote me if you are interested.

ol2012:
A quick one please bro,

When paying back equity investment, do you pay same amount or with interest?

Thank you

Equity investment means you will sell equity stake in your business to an investor. So you will use the money they pay you to expand and grow the business. The consequence is that the business is not yours 100℅ anymore. Incase of mismanagement, the business can be acquired from you by the investor.

Now this is where Youwin connect are very smart. They are not going to pay you any money. Rather they will link successful beneficiary after the training to private equity investor. Who will evaluate your business and know its worth and viability before investing in it. So its not automatic to applicants. Rather it's favour existing business owner more than start up. Cause they will have records and transactions to back up their business.

Josmila:
Youwin under the last administration was fraught with a lot of corruption, monies were just handed out to people, not entirely on merit. This is because I know very good brains that applied, went through the rigorous processes, but didn't end up being beneficiaries. What is wrong with equity investment in viable business though?? Are you aware many were handed cash that didn't end up in the businesses they collect the monies for??

I have no problem with equity investment Seriously. But the problem is equity investment is mostly for existing business, not start up. That's why you will notice Youwin connect is unpopular among Nigerian youth unlike Jonathan's Youwin. Jonathan's Youwin give grant to start up. There are many graduates that have business ideas and training but still can not start their business because they have no start up capital. And banks give loans only to existing business and not start up. Which is the mistake the same you win connect is making.
