WOULD ANY SENSIBLE MAN UNDERGO THAT? WOULD YOU OR YOUR BROTHER OR YOUR RELATIONS UNDERGO THAT?ITS IRREVERSIBLE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!

A sensible man protects himself rather than have children from different women he is not married to, thus, reducing father-mother interactions. A polygamist is better structured than Davido. You people really under-estimate the importance of stability. The Ooni is a good example of stability. SangoOlukosoOba already mentioned musicians and individuals who are wealthier than Davido but don't partake in such an arrangement.

As for being irreversible, he has a son and three abi two daughters but wanders his preek around. If he does vasectomy, isn't that better than having children scattered everywhere? Abi you think say being a father starts at the fertilisation of the egg and dropping feeding money

Gerrard59:
Organ trade is actually a business although illicit. There is a high demand for organs (kidney, heart etc) by patients in the US. So killing people to extract their organs is actually a business but not for ritual purposes to become stupendously wealth as opined in Nigeria

And guess what? The scientific community in developed countries are researching ways on using the hearts and kidneys of pigs as replacements in humans, a term known as xenotransplantation. But hey, hUmAn sAcRiFiCeS. Why go through the stress of researching pigs organs as a replacement when people can be killed and their organs harvested? How come it is only in Nigeria girls are used for money rituals so people can be rich? The same is akin to those in Tanzania who use the bodies of albinos to treat HIV. How come the same method is not used in other countries to treat HIV?

In the most prestigious university in the US and I dare, the entire world, body parts are sold and used for ornamental purposes. Unam ikots in West Africa believe by chanting spiritual mumbo-jumbo, they will become rich. Imagine selling a body part for $1000. That's a lot of money. Ritual killings doesn't lead to wealth. It's organ trading, an illegal act, that does being forth money.

SangoOlukosoOba:
The determinant is the man. If you not into that life, you cannot start when you become rich.

Look at Paddy Adenuga, you won’t hear dog shiit about him

And in the case of Davido, you talking 1234. That’s not about money again. That’s a problem within himself.

Another good example. I like the fact you mentioned fellow musicians like him who are even wealthier than he is. It is a personal trait that wealth enabled.

Newton2024:
As if if portable wants to make you his tenth Babymama, you won't celebrate it. Talkless of Davido.

Tonia, Wizkid's first girlfriend, left him when she realised he won't marry her. Instead of being a baby-mama like others, she got married to someone else and is now a wife and mother. Women should realise that being a baby-mama does more harm than good. In fact, better to have been married then divorced than not married at all and have his child(ren). You lose on both ends. As it is, all their baby-mamas cannot marry other men because of the children they have for these guys.

Not every lady is interested in having children out of marriage.

She could have left him when the time was right. Instead, she married him. If she was y sister, I would have mocked and gloated at her after I warned that you don't marry a man who has children from different women he is not married to. What makes you, the new wife, different?

If you can, kindly read it. The EU signed a trade deal with Kenya to remove all tariffs on exports from the country into the EU. Na now dey break. The EU also enmarked 150BN Euros to invest across developing countries to counter the Belt and Road Initiative. One wonders why now? Why not since? After all, Kenya did not start trading with the EU today nor was she created as a country recently.

You're welcome sir. You're well in the know regarding Nigeria's agroallied space o!

Will check out the article right away.

Yeah, L&Z is still consistent with their production, but profit, not really sure...

The investment firm is actually Verod not Vetiva. My bad.

L&Z needs capital investment and superior management strategies to propel. I know Nigeria has a low purchasing power, but tweaks can be made.

being in the uk and being in Nigeria are the same thing as regards Canada immigration , see page 1 for express entry requirements and criteria . Only citizens of Uk have it easy with visa free visits or two years work permit. Nigerians in Uk on study visa, there is no fast way or special privilege for you guys. 🙄

Are British citizens not subjected to LMIA rules?

My friend has a thriving agro business in SW state. Some few places are not facing insecurity and he knows how to lay low. From the pictures he posts big trucks come to transport many of his products majorly cassava or its stems

One has to admit it, the SW is currently Nigeria's most peaceful or less restive region. Second, are few states in the South south.

Saladdin:
For the Nwunelis', I feel they need to cozy with the power brokers to get additional support like Mehta's, AND also change the crops they deal in (like you said). Their HBS degrees are just wasting away.

Sir, do you know the most surprising thing? A 'common' NOUN MBA (though with a DBA from Swiss School of Business) holder is doing much better in the same Kaduna. I'm talking about Dr. Ogbemudia of Niyya Foods. He hands decades and decades of experience in the industry and his product is practically everywhere. He's into natural fruit drinks.

Like many others have reiterated on this forum, Dangote though humble, is not the ideal businesman that an average, potential entrepreneur should look up to. His model is not sustainable, as his wealth is also hinged on the support of the Federal government. Food is not really his area too. How can we reconcile the fact that upon all the expatriates and professionals the simple concept of demand and supply still eludes them, leading them to create an unsustainable factory. I feel they just wanted to taste from his wealth without telling him the truth.

Though he positioned the company in a tomato-belt region in Nigeria, but I mean he needed to have understudied the current cultivation of tomato in Nigeria, established a large and comprehensive outgrowers program and finally look for how to ensure supply on-and-off season. Even an average Igba boi will point this out.


That's true. Mehta has a decent farm where she cultivates tomatoes (including greenhouse) but I'm seriously rooting for her to take over the Kaduna and surrounding markets at least.

Erisco is not really feeling the heat due to his large range of products that is why he's not really bothered that his pastes still have low visibility in the market. More like off-and-on.

Shonga Farms went moribund with the exit of Saraki and then Governor Ahmed. from the political space. Most of the white Zimbabweans have left. The company for all intent and purpose belongs to Saraki but was funded with from Kwara State government's coffer.

With no government funds company, propaganda don end, and Saraki don flee. He knew the structure of the company was not sustainable, but free government money no go gree him to restructure it. Today, the company's output is embarrassingly poor and they have not been able to transcend beyond Kwara State. Even at that, lots of competitors are loading the heat on them.

Like you said, for farms and factories producing pastes to be successful in Nigeria, they need heavy input from the government by hook (subventions, grants, tax holidays, PPP—e.g Mira Mehta's Tomato Jos) or crook (looting government funds to start a agroallied company— e.g Nigerian politicans' farm). Lots of our politicans' are surprisingly doing well in the sector e.g Sebore Farms in Adamawa (owned by Muritala Nyako) and Maizube Farms in Minna (owned by Abdulsalam Abubakar)—both are into productions of milk and dairy products, I guess the money factor is what is keeping them afloat. Though for the latter, there's a strong rumour that his farm is a conduit to launder funds.

To be honest, the government still needs to help protect these companies and support newer ones. I just pray Babbangona still continue operations as usual. They are currently one of the highest paying in the industry (along with Saro Agrosciences).

I had to quote all. Thanks for the insight. I appreciate.

I know the bold and drank his drink years back. Another mention is Integrated Dairies. She started operations in 2003 and begin production in the 2010s. Got an investment from Verod Capital. Agribusiness takes time to gestate, which is why lower taxes and security are paramount. As for those erstwhile governors, I am not fazed as we know how things are done in Nigeria. It is like being fascinated with Obasanjo's Farms. I also know Saro Agrosciences, yeah, one of the most structured seed companies around.

LordAdam16:
There is no developing nation on the planet where an investor (foreign or indigenous) setting up a middle-market (or bigger) enterprise somehow sidesteps the power brokers.

In the developed world, you can't either. Tons of permits, regulations, and red tape to wade through

This is what I have been thinking about. One has to go where he or she sabi well well, either on the basis of race, ethnicity, language or something else. Tensa20 said I should target South America, but most of the favourable countries have long histories of big agribusiness entrepreneurs who are locals or American giants who have hooge funds and support from the American government. It is easier to negotiate with a LGA chairman whose language I speak than with some folks in Ecuador. The advantage South America has is trade deals with China, where 99% of tariffs are removed on certain goods. Huge advantage considering the Chinese are wealthy and plentiful.

The reason Rotimi is heading to Senegal, not Brazil, as black man meets black man. Before dem send drug cartels towards me.

If it didn't dey, it didn't dey. No magic can be done.

Presco and Okomu are excelling. But they're in Southern Nigeria.

I am happy for them. Wilmar working with PZ Cussons is in Cross River is doing the same. They spent a lot (>10BN) on a refinery in Lagos and spent hugely on the farm in Northern Cross River.

If you're a random investor, go for lower hanging fruit. Or put in the right modalities. I can't just land in South Korea and seek to set up a plant for automotive parts. I would not grapple with security but a dozen other crucial issues that I'd need natives and well-heeled professionals to navigate. An HBS will open some doors. But it'll still be a steep climb.

That's a developed country. If I try the same in Indonesia. It'll be exponentially harder.

Thanks for the insight.

wman:
Wow. This is really insightful. Thank you for this post. I use to look up to Mira on Twitter as someone defying the odds with Tomato farming and tomato paste where the likes of Dangote have tried and failed.

LOL!

Unless you have a degree from a similar university, don't look at someone like Mira as a source of inspiration. Even Affiong Williams should not be looked too. Her husband is a billionaire, and she worked in reputable places before venturing into agribusiness. Well, it is the reason I keep hampering that the leave university to start a business does not really work. The same applies globally. The most successful entrepreneurs worked somewhere, honing their skills and deepening their network before starting businesses.

Even Ms Yemisi worked elsewhere. The dude behind IFitness worked as a banker. Rotimi sef was a banker. But anyone with a degree from HBS is an outlier. I rather look elsewhere.

Why not arrange for a franchise with the FMN brand?

Would save a lot of stress setting up a lot of things from the scratch… if the franchise option is available.

By the way, you’re one of the outstanding bright minds on this forum. Following you…

I am too small at the moment to partner with FMN. Also, FMN has farms in places I am not interested one bit, even at gunpoint. Also, FMN does not deal in what I am interested in. Someone like Yemisi is who I can understudy, but insecurity is a major hindrance. I am not ready to deal with Fulani herdsmen as I dey like this.

Thanks for the compliment. Please do note that I can comment on threads you might find offensive and immoral. Also, I was trained to state things the way they are. I could call your favourite pastor names sha. That is who I am. I cannot hide it.

Once again, thanks.

Selfkontrol:
Good day Nairalanders. Pls I need some mature advice because I’ve been in a dilemma for a long time now concerning relocating abroad or staying back in Nigeria.
First of all I’m not a japa advocate. I believe if you’re doing well in Nigeria then there’s no point relocating abroad but I feel there’s so much uncertainty and I don’t know what the future holds for me in this country.

Now I’m a married man of 30 years. I will turn 31 by this September. We have no child yet but wife is preg now. I have a B.Eng in petroleum Engineering but have never worked in my life. My current business is crypto trading which I have been doing for years now. During the 2021 crypto bull run I made lot of money and acquired some properties that’s currently valued atleast 60-70m naira in total. bought my car same year and got married same year to my long time Gf, settled some family members etc . I don’t have any other investments or business aside

I am late to this, but stay in Nigeria. You laid the foundation for the wealth. You were not beauqthed, na you do am yourself. You are going 31, all things been equal, if you follow Express Entry and succeed, you should be 33/34. A big IF because you don't have the necessary work experience, additional degrees, wouldn't be interested in learning a new language etc. If you were 26 or max 28 and single, I would have said run it. But you don pass 30, which in my opinion, folks should stay put in Nigeria except they are able to relocate on a work visa. In your case, such a profile is nonexistent and your wife is pregnant.

Stay put in Nigeria.

Look for a physical business that has the potential to succeed/run itself in the long run. Run some programmes at Lagos Business School to gain insights and build a network. Your wife should be deeply involved. She is better off monitoring affairs in the new business than selling wigs. That too is not sustainable in the long term unless she owns a factory in Vietnam or China.

Yes, bore your children in the US if possible. Offer the best education, school and parental. With that education, they can stand gidigbam in any part of the world. If safety is an issue for you, move to a less restive state.

airsaylongcome:
This is not a very good piece of advice though. Yes he can factor the increased cost into his selling price, but would there be a demand at the higher selling price?

I have a friend abroad who opened a Dialysis Centre in Nigeria in 2021. Spent considerable resources importing equipments from the US, Turkey and Japan. He ended up closing the business because there was no demand at his selling price. This is a business that caters to a demographic that is conscious about and takes care of their health. Price increase meant a lot of the upper middle class couldn’t afford it. Real estate is mostly similar demographics to this healthcare business. Unless he is building for corrupt politicians, many Nigerians cannot afford the cost of buying a piece of real estate with the current state of the economy

Few questions as that business has been peddled on TwitterNG as a good one to invest in considering the demographics.

1) Was he or the professionals in charge during the nascent stages?
2) Was he prepared to play the long game to break in revenue?
3) Where was the business situated? Region if you wish to conceal the state
4) Was his price above Lagos, Port-Harcourt or Abuja's prices (assuming he was not based in any of those places)?
5) Assuming he was based in Lagos or say, Ogun, were the prices way too high?

Many questions to ask, but I want to believe there is potential for that business considering the cost involved in travelling outside Nigeria to perform the same operation. Except the patient is very rich, getting a visa to the US would be a herculean task. India is the second option, but in both cases, forex is scarce and hard to come by. Lots of documents to submit when a life is at stake. Many should and I believe would opt for a centre in Nigeria.

Sha, Nigerian women don suffer.

They should just protect themselves more, seeing how pregnancy affects a woman more than a man. A man like me wey dey fear to give woman belly dey rare. So protect thy self.

stevnwigw1:
The Senate should pass a bill and the President sign it into law that Nigeria will no longer sell crude in any international market, rather Nigeria will only sell finished products. That way the 36 states, of the federal, will own a refinery that will use the over 2 million barrels of crude oil that we produce daily. This is just one of the numerous natural resources that we have in Nigeria, this means Nigeria will then be a hub of fuel production, and we will have no business with a lack of jobs for our teaming youths, rather foreigners will be begging to come to Nigeria to get a job. The White is so intelligent that the created a world market for crude oil sales and the sales of other natural resources but no international market for the sale of fuel.

Is Nigeria the only country that sells crude oil? Namibia just discovered huge deposits of crude oil, if Nigeria stops selling, what stops buyers from buying from Namibia? Also, remember that Nigeria belongs to OPEC - so you must do what everyone has stated should be done. You can only enact such a policy for a product you exercise a full monopoly of. Ghana was doing yanga with cocoa. Now they are researching into synthetic cocoa and investing in cocoa plantations in Ecuador and Indonesia. As for Indonesia, she is insisting that miners should refine the nickel, cobalt and lithium before exporting them. That can be possible considering the major consumer is China, and Indonesia is closer to China than, say, Ghana. The economics will make sense.

The average Nigerian is an economic illiterate. Yet another hill for me to die on.

I doubt OP is Igbo, but he desires to marry an Igbo lady. The question is: what stops you from marrying a lady from your ethnic group? Is there a law banning such from happening? Or wouldn't you rather avoid having tainted babies with nyamiris? Some ret@rds are saying Igbo girls are promiscuous, fine. So marry your prudish ladies and leave the lascivious ones for dem Emekas who don't know how to string a complete sentence.

If you mean by inventioñs, then there are a number of them by black men. Academic achievements, there is a number of them by black men. As bad as Nigeria is, there are Europeans working here in local industries and they send money back home to pay mortgage and etc. All of West Africa apart from Nigeria have infrastructure like constant electricity and good roads almost at par with Eastern Europe. They only have a young population and less prosperity because of that but there are westerners living permanently among them. South Africa is an immigrant worker destination like the UK. Zimbabwe is as educated as say Russia. If you can not get your acts together in Nigeria, you will be wrong to tag all black dominated country with the label of your affliction. Even Nigerian cities are much cheaper to live in than western cities and that is also an achievement or super power. Britain led the industrial revolution and others copied but everybody have been participating. Even if your position is true which it is not, you would have decided to do something about it instead of wearing it like a label. After all what is the big deal in coming up with ideas that can turn Nigeria into a Germany or Japan?. The only thing missing is proper organisation, low revenue per Capita and etc. If you are the one calling yourself an idiot, how do you expect you or even your descendants to make progress?. That is the issue. Everything starts from the mind.

Europeans working in African countries and sending money home is a lopsided way of analysing it after all, there are more Africans in Europe working and remitting money to Africa than Europeans doing the same. There are less than 1000 Japanese in Nigeria, does that mean Nigeria is on par with Japan in developmental strides?

Having only cheaper cities to live in isn't a bragging term. Having cities with lots of jobs, fairly middle HDIndices, and safer streets YET affordable is something to brag about. Tokyo is cheaper than New York but offers an equivalent infrastructure and even safer streets. An American can replicate his/her standard of living in Tokyo easier than in Lagos or Accra. Again, I should not even be using Tokyo. Let me use Kuala Lumpur. The World Bank estimates that by 2050 abi 2100, almost half of the world's poorest will be in sub-Saharan Africa - home to more black people than elsewhere.

As for what I am doing against it, I have got plans, but it is a work in progress. However, you will never catch me say men built civilisation hastily considering the men who built modern civilisation don't look like me.

Saladdin:
Dr Gerrard59, most of the principles and knowledge learnt at HBS will fail in Nigeria o. This is because it lacks the necessary 'local content'.

Most of our top guys in corporate Nigeria only go there for bragging rights and the network. Nothing overly special with HBS. In Nigeria, MBA from LBS is practically more useful than the one gotten from HBS.

To an extent, I agree, especially in "dirtier/hands-on industries". However, anyone with an HBS MBA degree is expected to have a strong network regardless of the country. A Nigerian with an HBS degree who moves to Brazil should be able to call/meet folks who are influential in the business community. So, what is Mehta doing that Nwuneli is not? To even think both Nwunelis are HBS MBA holders. So double connect, yet nothing comot.

Nwuneli's is really trying, but her business is yet to get the expected trajectory. This still leads to the first paragraph above.

That is because the kind of crops they work on has less economic value compared to Mehta. I have not checked for a long time, but the seeds I saw there are not economically viable, in my opinion. It does not move the needle regarding agribusiness. But to each his/her own.

Mira Mehta's agribusiness enjoys fully support from Kaduna State politically, fiscally and security-wise courtesy of Kaduna State Government. Most businesses in the state do not enjoy this privilege.

Her factory is located in the Northern Part of Kaduna which is relatively safe, plus it is well-guarded by the police and the military. Plus she got the large portion of land at near zero cost.

I noticed the same. Well, governments should support businesses to thrive effectively. Wonder why Nwuneli and Rotimi's cases are different. Even the Babban Gona too is also affected.

She's used by El-Eufai as the 'postal child' of Modern entrepreneurship in Kaduna (El-Rufai actually made significant strides here). This is because he wanted to attract more investors to the state and brag about an Oyinbo doing business in his state. Even at that, she's barely staying afloat, as foreign pastes (e.g Gino) are still beating her to it in Kaduna and the entire North. You can hardly find her paste around.

To be fair, she just started production. She started very well, securing a consistent, constant and quality supply of the raw material. Whereas Dangote just mounted a tomato paste factory and shut it down within a year due to inconsistency in the supply of tomatoes. I don't see her shutting down, as the supply is there. Gino has been in the game for donkey years, so unfair comparison. With time, she will boom, especially if she makes an exotic form of the paste and exports to wealthy markets. That is what big agribusinesses should focus on. Target Europe and America.

What about the Erisco and Shonga Farms? Did Erisco later run to China and continue production from there due to insecurity and an inconsistent supply of tomatoes?

Wodu89:
Locals i

I saw the rave, vibe and headlines Rotimi made. A whooping 10,000 - 30,000 acres farming project. The problem isn't insecurity in it's entirety but Nigerians and greed. How can someone have a farmland that can generate billions per annum and can't have stable security strategy, systems and workers and spend maximum of 10 Million per year. The farm owners of large scale farms are simply greedy. I've seen their setup well enough to recognize it. If I own a large scale farm, I must invest heavily in security.

Sounds good on paper, but how do you intend to secure lots of hectares? I have watched how farms in Brazil, Indonesia, Thailand, and nearby Ghana, but none had a fence. Ploughing money into fencing and recruiting security agencies makes the business unproductive as you are spending on items that are not worthy assets. The money used in fencing can acquire or pay for the lease of more acres of land or sophisticated equipment. How then do you plan to compete with farmers in Thailand, South Africa and neighbouring countries that don't experience the same?

Anytime I read a farmer mentioning fencing, I don't consider such a person to be business oriented. Because fencing is unrealistic. It is better the person kuku turn the entire swathe of land into a housing estate and sell each plot to interested buyers. That is a better business proposition.

I can't blame Rotimi for wanting to leave. It is inevitable. In agribusiness, the big farms depend on smaller farms for a consistent supply of raw materials, as no one can do it alone. It is a symbiotic relationship. But when the smaller farmers are brutally butchered, heavily fined and sometimes double taxed (they have to pay LGA fees, too), setting up an agribusiness enterprise in Nigeria makes no sense. Rather do so in Ghana, Ivory Coast or Benin. At least, over there, the elites take security pretty seriously, especially if it affects exports. Another big farm I am interested in is FMN which had abi have a sugar plantation in Niger. I wager they've aligned themselves with the political class. But how is a random investor going to enjoy the same privileges?

lawani:
Don't you know any black African that contributed to civilization even if by half an inch?. You seem to be afflicted with reverse racism. A sort of self loathe and a feeling of not being good enough or what have you yourself done to address your own conclusion?. If all black African men were self loathers like you, imagine what the fate of all their nations would be?.

Yet to refute my stance that modern civilisation was built and still built and maintained by White and East Asian men. If you disapprove of it, mention a country dominated by black people with at least 50 million people that is prosperous. In fact, a black dominated country similar to Malaysia in terms of development and HDIndices. Malaysia is fair because it would be unfair to include South Korea.

Black men always perpetuate this braggadocio that men built civilisation, yet no black-dominated country can stand side by side with either Norway or South Korea. My point is: let black men focus on the basics rather than dangling their preek chanting men built modern civilisations whereas we no follow. Use your superiority complex to build functioning and prosperous countries.

Lol you're so ignorant, I'm not in a hole oga, at all, I go out to shop, banks, sometimes quiet bars to unwind after working so hard, don't assume you know me because of your short sighted assessment, why are you people even focused on the wrong stuff? I'm not concerned about having few friends, infact I rather have no friends because I no fit talk, who friends help?

The way friends don't help is the way having a female partner won't help you.

If you remain a bachelor for life, would you die?

Shortcut2life:
He can’t change who he is to please others ..Besides you are just creating normal chances for yourself and one can still meet whomever they sought in their home playing games or drinking and it ain’t compulsory you should be out there ..

Then he should stop the Songs of Lamentation and embrace himself for who he is, rather than expecting to have a female partner when he has ZERO SOCIAL LIFE AND FEW PHYSICAL FRIENDS.

It is the reason when someone says he or she does agribusiness on a huge scale, I am always interested in how they cope with the rising insecurity. I recall sending Ndidi Okonkwo Nwuneli an email to her personal email address, which she replied, but I did not follow up. But I admired the work they did. Even Rotimi Williams made the news then as the second largest rice grower after Olam. How do ordinary agribusiness entrepreneurs cope if these folks with their HBS qualifications and network cannot secure their farmers? Also, a few are wailing on TwitterNG. Although Tomato Jos by Mehta and Yemisi Iranloye of Psaltry International are doing pretty well, I am curious how other big agribusiness entrepreneurs are coping? Especially if out-growers who they depend on are being killed.

But bants aside, if HBS folks cannot use their influence to stem the insecurity tide, e get as e be o. I thought HBS know the movers and shakers in the countries they work in. After all, Mehta na HBS alumna too
