Yes, my company is already registered with CAC. It seems I will need the services of a lawyer to process trademark in Nigeria. And it seems there office is in Abuja only and not in Lagos.

Don't just view. Kindly post comments. Moderator, please push this thread to front page. It will help budding entrepreneurs like me in Nigeria.

Please, I will like to know how much it will cost to register a trademark for my brand name. I just want to set up a business and I need to trademark the name. The problem is that I only have 25,000 naira with me and I don't know if it will be enough to do it.

If you have experience with trademark registration in Nigeria, kindly advice me on how to go about it.

I am applying for external funding from a federal government agency in Nigeria for my post graduate studies in management course. And I need an admission letter from a foreign university of my choice as part of the criteria to apply for the scholarship. And the deadline for submission of the scholarship application is about 4 weeks.

Please, if you know any good universities in Canada, Australia, new Zealand, America and UK that can offer me a conditional msc admission letter within two weeks without transcript and English language proficiency test, kindly state it.

Later, I can submit my transcript to them after offering me admission letter. My transcript will take a month to obtain from my undergraduate university and I need the Post graduate admission letter urgently.

I have Bsc. Economics (2.1) from OAU, ife.

Please, which university can offer me quick msc admission into management course for someone that hold bsc. economics 2.1 from OAU before the deadline of the scholarship application in either UK,canada, new Zealand, Australia, or America.
Thanks

Please I need comment. Don't just view only.

@world1, please can you give reason why I should do smooth cayenne pineapple. Cause I notice on your last comment on this thread, you venture into sugar loaf pineapple which is what you said chi prefers.

Please, I need advice. I want to start pineapple plantation business on a medium scale. I want to ask between sugar loaf pineapple and smooth cayenne pineapple which one do juice companies like chivita prefer and buy from pineapple farmers? Since I intend to sell it in commercial quantities after harvest.

Waiting for response to my enquiry

I was having a discussion with a friend and the issue between a good business ideas or capital, which is more valuable. My friend believes that capital is more important because according to him without capital it will be difficult to execute the business ideas into reality. That is the idea will remain on paper without capital. He believes that the man of means (capital) will always employ the man of intelligence (ideas).

However, from my point of view, I disagree with him. I believe a good idea is the most valuable. Ideas rule the world and all solid businesses in the world are founded on good ideas. There are a lot of individuals with capital that still don't know what business embark upon. And I also know businesses that started with huge capital that shut down within a short period. The problem is simply because they lack good ideas.
So, which one do you think is more valuable between idea or capital, when starting a business?

@akin alabi, thank you for the payment to the beneficiary. God bless you sir.

@akinalabi

Dear sir, I am among the fifty winners shortlisted to receive 100,000naira each from your foundation to support our small businesses at the youth enterprise conference held at Eko hotel on march 30th, 2017. Sir, your staff collected bank account details of winners and promise we shall be credited of 100,000 naira each by the next day. At this moment, we are yet to receive payment alert of the money. Kindly, help us to look into the delay sir as we do not know the problem. Some of us plan to use the money to buy equipment that aid our businesses. I know you are a kind, reputable and philanthropic man. And may God continue to bless you sir.

Last week, i went to ketu fruit market to buy some pineapples. I noticed there were two varieties of pineapple sold in the market. They were cotonou pineapple and bendel(nigerian) pineapple. So, i bought each quantities of bendel and cotonou pineapple equally. When i ate both the pineapples at home, i discovered that the cotonou pineapple is sweeter, less acidic and tastier than bendel pineapple. Even though the bendel pineapple is more expensive that it. I end up prefering to be buying cotonou pineapple to bendel (nigerian) pineapple. I felt bad because my actions will not support our local farmers but i still like the cotonou pineapple.
So between the two pineapples, which one do you prefer and why?

@orangeDream, are you serious? The protest has been cancelled?! Then we are our worst enemy. Do yes-p participants know that tomorrow will make it exactly one year this programme started and yet nothing to show for it. Federal government and Nigerians need to be aware of it through the protest.
Other empowerment programme like Lagos state trust fund that commenced last October ,their beneficiaries have been fully disbursed last month.
The fact is BOI Yes-p is a time waster. The earlier we summon courage and protest against BOI, the better. Or else we won't have access to the fund to actualize our entrepreneurial dreams.

All Yes P participants and youths that love this country should come out on monday by 9 am at TBS lagos to protest against BOI at their marina office. This is not just a protest. It has to do with the future of youths in this country. We must hold responsible those that always divert governmental programme for nigerian youth to their selfish interests. Lets show the whole world how BOI has been changine the goal post in the middle of a game so as to frustrate nigerian youths. Lets tell the world how ridiculous the guarantors criteria are.

Have they started to disburse the loan to you guys yet?

i don't know why BOI can not allow us to use part of working capital to rent factory or office. This BOI sucks big time.

@dexter1983, is it true that applicants need to personally secure or rent a factory space/office before BOI can appraise and grant the loan application. Also are you an exsting or new business? It seems it is only existing business that has been given offer letter yet.

Because that is what my loan officer is just telling me. He said i must have rent a factory space before he can appraise my documentation for pucurement of machinery and equipment. I taught there is a provision for working capital in YES-P loan. Anyone should reply me cause i do not understand this BOI anymore.

It seems guys have lost enthusiasm in this programme. There is no further comment here again. God help us all.

Has heritage bank disburse the cash to your suppliers yet? Or still in process?

lets make the plan snappy. this is new year. the earlier we start, the better.
