mrvitalis: Tell me what Nigerians would do with 24 hours light that they can't do now
Tell me 3 SMEs I closed down my vegetable oil factory majorly due to power related issues. For my milling machines to work, I need constant complete 3 phase lines to running the industrial machines. Lack of it caused burning my electric motor, regular stopping and break to fix the power issue. High cost of running biz because I have to buy diesel generator. Occasional breakdown of generator - mechanic workmanship cost, spare parts cost after which it may not even work sef due to fake or incorrect spare part or incompetent mechanic all these causing regular financial loses untop say income no they enter and days run into weeks to bring back the factory to working level again. Just pray you don't go into industrial processing that needs serious power to function. A foam making factory in my place is near collapse because of power. Anytime nepa takes light while they are on duty, whatever foam product they are producing currently in the machine becomes a waste and they have to clear the lines before resuming processing using expensive generator |

fullclub: how many Nigerians can even afford full fees. we are talking between 18 to 25m. i have to sell properties to raise this sum.
after payment of fees you still need about 6m to apply for visa n health insurance and alo flight... even fact keep 35m. Omohhhjjj These oyinbos really want to wreck Africa. They will do anything in their capacity to see that whatever money we get from them through crude oil sales finds it way back to them. We sell crude and buy back petrol more costly from them. When they come to school here, they can do it virtually cheap but when we are to school there, you will have to virtually sell the family house to fund the expenses. What about their football league? Most companies like DStv are always at the brink of bankruptcy just to get a license to broadcast their leagues. Hitv went broke due to this. The transaction between a black man and a white man has never favoured a black man for once. They always outstrip and loot us. I checked flight ticket for a family of 4 to Canada for vacation and the cheapest flight was 8m and goes up to 10m. Just flight alone. Omoh, I no go even try am. My mama go roll for inside her grave if I try am just for vacation. We are not even talking about permanent relocation or study. |

Gerrard59: I haven't looked at the numbers, but would solar installation by Daystar Power do the magic? Power is a major issue, but how are the Indians and Chinese still in business? That stuff bewilders me.  I doubt that bro. To the best of my knowledge, solar can only power single phase machines or engines and not industrial 3-phase machines. You only need 1 line out of the 3 lines in a pole to power a house but you need the complete 3 lines full 220v to power and run a 3-phase industrial machine. Why are the chi ese and indians succeeding? Many are failing but you won't know since we are not among them or their clicks. I know 2 or 3 indian companies that has folded up in my area and they have gone back to their country. Also, most Chinese and indian companies succeed because they have huge cash to start and run a company which many Nigerians too do anyway. A case study of my biz - many people are still running my type of biz in the north - Kano and gombe as case study and it is profitable and it's what they are using to feed their families. It is all about working in clusters. If you are starting a biz as a fresher, my advise is to start a biz and work in clusters. That way, you are protected. A Chinese or India that wants to run my biz would have a huge warehouse where they store groundnuts at cheap season that will last them atleast a year to the next cheap season and have 2 or more machines running at a go there by avoiding mechanical breakdown of 1 with spare parts on standby in the warehouse to change immediately and continue processing. They will have a technician and electrician on standby to fix any power issues, mechanical issues and milling engine problems. For a SME who is just trying to start something and feed his family, you don't have such financial muscle to stay in biz and compete with these guys. Most Nigerians entering small and medium scale biz are you average Nigerians with 2 to 5m trying to start something. Not someone with 50 to 100m cash on ground to hit the ground running |

As pain increases, the sellers of 'painkillers' will definitely thrive and multiply.
It's a simple natural law of demand and supply. Agreed and the more prosperous a country is, the more the churches shut down. So invariably, pastors codedly don't pray the country gets better because it won't favour them. What most people go to church to pray for like God I need visa, I need job, I need car or house etc will sort themselves out with a good economy thereby reducing the number of people going to church |

casualobserver: Who are these Uk based Nigerian entrepreneurs? Nigerians in the Uk are employees. A Nigerian “business” in the Uk is nothing more than a barbershop, a Naija restaurant or a shop selling Nigerian foods like yam and snails.
Indians, Chinese, polish and other immigrants get to the Uk and establish scalable large businesses. I. Over a generation of Nigerian settlers to the UK. Name a Nigerian business in the UKK making waves. It’s tells you our problem is not Nigeria because it is the same opportunities available to all these foreigners I. The Uk that are available to Nigerians. Even the Somalis who came after Nigerians have established themselves in the Uk as business owners. What are the Nigerians doing….doctor, It contractor (without hierarchy or status) or they are nurses Uber drivers and admin staff. That’s it as far as the Uk goes.
Nigerians have no scalable businesses in the UK for the same reason we export nothing. We have nothing the world wants. Our contribution to the world are our skilled professionals and our natural resources. In the UK this translates to nothing but employee status. Our football players and music artistes are more influential and have more impact abroad than all our educated skilled professionals combined. The same reason our country is in a mess back home is the same reason we are nothing but a pool of skilled Labour when we go abroad. But for the fact that we have the Nigerian market to ourselves, there probably won’t be big Nigerian owned businesses in Nigeria. It’s time we started asking ourselves some tough questions.

Cook stew, then replace meat/fish/chicken with eggs. Then buy rice and beans and garri in bulk.
Cut off social life that involve spending, so no beer parlour things, and no tithing. God will understand
Try to supplement your income with jobs that pays you the same day and involve no capital, such as fishing customers to vendors in a market place for commission etc.
Cut off unnecessary burden. You're in survival mode, so any lazy family that is not in their A game, avoid them
If you muse eat out, eat calory densed foods, that will take you long, such as beans, fufu, if possible.  Chaii Agbada don hook Barb wire ooo for Nigeria |

Nazgul: Eat at cheap roadside vendors. Those ones don't sell by plate, they sell by spoon. So you can buy yam N200, Beans N100. Avoid buying any kind or form of meat. At night you can buy elewa and bread. Maybe elewa N200 bread N200. That's N700 for the day. 700 multiplied by 7 days would give you 4,900 for the week. The additional N100 would be for pure water.
For this to work, you must avoid women. They would only scatter your slim budget and leave you on a compulsory fasting.  |

Nigerians, it's all your fault. You can't blame the citizens much. There is little a citizen can do if the government is bad. Good citizen is directly proportional to good government. There is little citizens can do when there are not stable 24hrs electricity to run a factory or company that produces jobs and taxes for government. There is little a farmer can produce when his security is not guaranteed in the farm and bad roads to bring harvested crops to cities and no post harvest storage on ground for crops that can't be sold in days time. I closed my vegetable oil factory last year due to power issues. Many have closed and many will still close |

We have been paying that tax as a people everyday for about 20years (I stand corrected) to the FG coffers. Yet the very essence as to why the citizenry of any nation pays taxes, remains elusive to the ordinary masses. All the accumulated trillions of naira have been pilfered by Nigerian politicians at all levels, but a Nigerian can wake up on the morning of October 22nd 2023, to suggest that the same government should tax the impoverished people even more.
