SOME MAY BE MAILING YOU ASKING FOR PAYMENT UPFRONT BEFORE THEY CAN REVEAL HER HOUSE ADDRESS AND EVEN HER PHONE NUMBER. I DON'T KNOW ANY OF THEM BUT THEY'RE ALL SCAMMERS AND CRIMINALS.

EvilPOTATO:
Try search for her uncles name on Facebook

Donald3d:
Do you know any of her children's name
Search for the child on Facebook, you most likely won't find her on Facebook
You could also try twitter , they would help you fish her out.

I don't want to sound controversial, but how are we sure you are looking for her for the right reasons and this story isn't made up. And you are not trying to find her to cause harm to her . Forgive me if I am wrong, I just like looking at things from both ways.

Your username itself says facelessforum, so how do we know you are genuine

AstuteJay:
I sincerely apologise for how I started my last response. I said you might have to wait till the lockdown is over before you can start. Very wrong bro, very very wrong. START NOW!

There is no perfect time to start a business. We live in an imperfect world. Today it's #COVID19, tomorrow it might be #lassafever, next might be adverse government policies, then inadequate capital and the list goes on.

If you don't start now, you might never get started. By all means, START NOW!

AstuteJay:
The lockdown is affecting businesses now, you may not be able to start until it is over unless your state is not affected. After the lockdown there will be so many shops to let for obvious reasons.

If you need to start without a shop, you can try a combination of the following;

1. Get the contacts of people in your area and some estates around you via the Landlord association or estate securities. Send them your offer on WhatsApp or SMS and you must include free pick up and delivery.

2. Print flyers and share where your target markets are. You can put in an envelope and drop at the gate of the houses in estates around you.

3. Print small banners and hang at strategic locations. Please include your home address on the flyer and banner and highlight "free pick and delivery" boldly.

You have to be aggressive with the marketing to get customers because of trust issues. If you had a shop it would be slightly easier because the customers will be at ease. You need to do tripple work of what a shop owner would do.

Your appearance matters a great deal here. Don't show up at a customer's door looking unkept. Your person is whom customers would hand over their clothes to and if it's not convincing enough, they won't deal! If you are able to whao them the first and second time, you can ask for referral.

It's important you let all your customers know from day 1, you don't deliver clothes without payment. Never ever deliver clothes without payment if you don't want to pack up in one month!

All the best.

Start that business today my brother, it's a good business that you can start with low capital.

The following are the basic things you need to start;

1. A shop on a busy road (not conpulsory though as you can equally start without one.
2. If you have a shop, basic things like signage, desk, chairs, fan, shelves, ironing tables etc
3. You need to procure two pressing iron (steam and dry), washing buckets, washing machine (not compulsory), dryer (not compulsory).
4. Consumables like clean water, soap, starch, hangers, nylon etc

You might need a receptionist, washer and presser but not compulsory as I started all by myself before introducing staff one after the other.

You will need flyers and banners to market your business. If possible offer free pick up and delivery services.

All the best bro.

AstuteJay:
Good steam iron abound. I will recommend a tokunbo one that sells between 3 to 5k. Names like Rowenta, Phillips, Tefal, Murphy Richards etc are good buy.

Nice post OP.

May I add that the "barrier to entry" for this business is quite low. You can start with 20k and grow it overtime. You can start without a Machine, Staff, washing machine, dryer etc and acquire all these overtime. I did exactly the later and 4 years later, turnover is in 7 digits.

The only limitation here is the one you choose to place on yourself.

I'm happy that not everyone thinks I am talking out of my backside!

As I said earlier the problems with Software Development in this country are too numerous and pretty much all of them are chronic and fatal. Ranging from the attitude of Executives to anything IT to the Otigba Market, too many factors play against the Software Developer and Software Development in Nigeria!

As for the guy that said that 'Connections' was needed in Nigeria, I fear that is another reason why software development in this country is pretty much comatose! I am quite certain that you didn't have this in mind but it is not hard to imagine how connections have allowed people with crap Software Imagination and even worse Software Applications to be granted Software Projects. I mean has anyone tried to use cscsnigerialtd.com or nigeria.com( which was apparently sponsored by the Nigerian Government!)?

The CSCS website is damn near unusable during working hours in Nigeria and isn't completely functional with the second most popular browser on the planet (Firefox)! In fact the site started messing up with IE as well just so that firefox didn't feel left out. And its also 'Proudly Nigerian'!

There is no single Nigerian application (that I am aware of) which is used en masse by any noticeable populace outside these shores. And to be particularly honest I don't think there is any Nigerian Software used in Nigeria by any notice populace within the country!

I happily stand to be corrected in anything I've said in the previous paragraph.

We need some 'Dansa' or perhaps better 'Fruta' software in this country!

And yes I'm a programmer. And a crap one at that, at least by my own standards! But the fact that I, in my crap state, can still break the security of 80% of the Nigerian Software I have come across gives you an impression of the esteem in which I hold Software Development in this Nation.

I have not developed Software 'professionally' but if I were to be the author of any financial software in this country in its current state, I'd be terribly dissapointed in myself!

Luckysbab:
This is inspiring.

That's why I keep advising people to come and buy fertile land here in the southwest and start something, while it is still affordable.
