I admire your entrepreneurial drive, but this not a viable business in any way, sooner or later it will collapse like a pack of cards.

I've spent considerable amount of time in lagos to know this type of business is never going to get you rich. At best you're just going to be surviving, living from hand to mouth.

Lets start with the location of your business: I haven't been to badagry but I know it's a one of the most rural parts of lagos which means it's population is largely made up of low income folks who won't be willing to pay good buck for a haircut unlike the affluent areas. Then there is the issue of rent.

Now electricity: We all know power supply in Nigeria is almost non-existent, so it's safe to assume you'd be running on a generator. Last heard, petrol was N100/litre. How much will it cost you to run that generator for a day & how much turnover are you going to be making (take into account periodic breakdown/servicing)

Then to the game issue: Nothing attracts the police, gamblers & criminals like that game. Your barber/gaming/laundry shop is going to be attracting trouble like honey attract flies. The parody outfit called Nigerian police are literally going to be feeding off you and your potential laundry customers are going to stay away from your establishment as it will be perceived as a haven for crooks.

How do I know this? I used to be a prolific gambler, the type to travel miles in search of a gambling joint regardless where it's located. I remember on one occasion I was in one of those gaming houses, (A friend suggested that we patronise of them, never knew how dangerous that could be) we did patronise them a couple of times but one day while we were all glued to the TV, the police swooped in & rounded all of us up, no where to run, no where to hide. We were ushered in a straight line into an awaiting van ready to drive us to the police station. I was lucky, because I was a minor then, I wasn't thrown into one of their horrid cells, when work got to my people, they came and bailed me out with cash. This was early 2000s, the PS1 era so I don't know if that's still happening.

My advice to you; be aware of the dangers of running a game business and prepare for it.

- Keep some savings for the police or settle the police beforehand so they'd look away.

- Have few thugs handy to help you when matters get out of hand.

- Don't just rely on your barbing business, branch into other forms of business legal or not. You can run a successful weed/cannabis enterprise, you buy in bulk at cheaper rates, then you distribute at your own price. Your business would provide cover for you. Just settle the police & they'd look away, in Nigeria anything goes. When the going gets tough the tough gets going. (I know this because barber shops are one of the easiest places to lay your hands on weed)

- If business is booming, don't place all your eggs in one basket. Save up & open other shops putting your protégés in charge.

50calibre, i like the way you analyse things, well i expect that from a computer science dude.
You must be quite good in algorithm.

Of course only I9500(samsung galaxy s4) is sold to nigeria...anything + is fake and not apparently from samsung especially if the s4 is made from vietnam,china or korea.

I really dont know much about tecno phones model code.

ournewspoint:
firstly, I believe we all heard this speculation during the era of batch c when alot of things was delayed and the rumours strongly went on that batch c won't hold but it finally came to pass,

secondly, while NYSC must always hold all batch its because its a sign of National unity, so if we are to skip any batch it means alot to the unity and integration of the nation.

thirdly, even when the timetable has been released, we should always pray for a successful general election come 2015, because this NYSC comes second behind Nigeria. I believe in One Nigeria till tomorrow.

yes, A non-disintegrated nigeria after 2015 general election is the only factor that can foster the successfulness of batch A 15.

I did pray for a one nija after 2015 election....ameen.

Jst passing by!

analystshariff baba, oya pull over make you greet your own people...how weekend bro?.

ournewspoint:
though I wasn't copied, I feel obliged to always comment on issues I knw about or found out facts about.
According to our internal NYSC source, NYSC official timetable has been approved by the National Governing Council buh cannot be made public for now due to their personal reason which we alk knws.
2015 batch A will begin their orientation camp at march 2015.
we are therefore advised to plan our movement and leave towards this period.
there can still be changes to the timetable buh it cant be earlier than March.

Special greetings to my one and only e-boo chidexsmokey and to my ogas and madams in this house, electronzeez doff em hat for u all.

Dparagon:
noordean and sodiqyinka just gave you a hint on it. Waiting for the time table to come out first before you tender your application, might probably put you in a TIGHT CORNER. Just apply WISDOM and hope for a POSITIVE result.

@ words in capital Dparaboss, thanks a bunch.

noordean:
Baba i dnt c ao camp can open in february considerin its d month of election. sodiq can make d findings for u tho ,he said in one of its posts dat it's march

jazhakumullahu khairan sodiqyinka and noordean...nice one!.

sodiqyinka:
Batch A'15 starts March... Cheers

noordean:
Baba i dnt c ao camp can open in february considerin its d month of election. sodiq can make d findings for u tho ,he said in one of its posts dat it's march

jazhakumullahu khairan sodiqyinka and noordean...nice one!.

Sodiqyinka,noordean,dparagon please help with this.

Where i work, it is a protocol to submit the leave notice two months before you embark to go on leave .i.e if i'm to go on leave in febuary i ought to have submitted my leave form december.
The question is when likely is batch A15 going to camp febuary or march, please you guys should make findings for me because work is closing for the year et 23rd. If the time table should come out late and batch A is to camp febuary without me submitting the leave form before december 23rd, there would be total interference with work and nysc camp.

Thanks in anticipation.

chidexSmokey:
Electronzeez,how r you?

no you did not insult the op but instead of playing with insult too, you should have atleast call them to order with an insult-free comment not the one you throw up there.
