I wonder if he has ever solved the "69" equation with his wife

Catered4:
Hello sir. Its N11,000 not N13,000

N11,000 for a bag of onions. You added it would cost N300(plus the sack) to get it to the market and a minimum of N1200 to get to Lagos. Also include the amount of money it will take for me to get to Ketu from where I stay. At the end of the day, that's an extra N2,000 if I've calculated well making a total of N13,000.

imitators don't last.

Very true

These days, stories just don't make sense without pictures

debbydee:
Good morning all.

Like i said in my earlier post everyone will certainly join this business. Why is it difficult for people to sit and think of an idea that will be unique and different. There are many ideas lurking around just sit and think dry fish business, crayfish business these are items that abound you don't have to travel up north to venture into it.

I pray to be a manufacturer and not a copywriter.

As a manufacturer, you'll eventually need to teach people what you know so they can learn from it and be inspired to imitate or emulate your success.

That's the height of success

Catered4:
Here is the breakdown sir.
A bag is N9500 for mixed onions and N 11,000 for big onions
The loading from the farm to the park (Alabaru) is N100 per bag
The sack and raffia is N200
Transportation - Trailer is N1200, J5 is N1500 and 18 seater is more.
Now a bag of onions in the market goes for N14,000, N15,000 or more depending on the state, location and market or even companies buying from you (supply).
So sir do your calculation yourself. Thank you sir.

Thanks a lot for this info. However, it seems one would need at least N13,000 per bag therefore N10,000 won't be enough to start as you initially mentioned. I believe at least N150,000 would suffice for a start for one to earn sufficient profit.

Ill work out a business plan and get back to you. Thank you once again

All in the name of religion

I'd never do that because I'm competitive by nature. If my wife starts earning more than I do, ill start working harder to surpass her and I personally gain satisfaction from providing for the house.

This scenario can only be applicable to men who are naturally lazy/lack ambition and who look for the easy way out

As far as exes go, its "good riddance to bad rubbish". I wouldn't pee on any of them if they were on fire to put it out

Godmother:
There are things you don't joke with, my dear and this is one of them. You think I'm being sensitive? Maybe you should get close to one or two albinos and see their lifestyle; the type of discrimination and pain they go through.
They can't get employment cos most companies won't employ them; when they start business people shy away from buying from them; they don't get married, they get treated like second class citizens.

We born with a normal skin should just give thanx to God daily for that little blessing.

Personally, I could care less about their skin colour. Whenever I'm ready to employ staff, it would be based on what they have to offer.

Thank you

This is the number information

Yo! How did you do that?

Godmother:
Some people are not just sensitive. How can you call a human being "A half boiled egg" what if it was ur sister/brother? Let's learn to apply wisdom in the things we say and do

Ive been called worse. Learn to take a joke and stop being so damn sensitive

He should soak his fingers in izal or dettol to disinfect it.

I believe acid would suffice

thats so not true

Stop procastinating and try it. Hian

going to naming ceremony
is that what they send them to do in school
or it's part of their course work

The fact that they are in school doesn't prevent them from attending events of colleagues. You must be a real bore

Its good to know there was no casuality

Nigerian hospitals are a real shame

They are equivalents of a half boiled egg

Lovely article. Very real and inspiring.

Unfortunately, the political clowns above are still themselves

Catered4:
Hello sir. I had no battery on my phone. Like I said, you can start with a bag of onions. If you are not the extravagant type, u will make it fast to 10 bags or more starting with a bag. All you need to do is to discuss with the market women that sells tomatoe\onions. Tell them you want to supply them onions or just tell them u have a bag of onions for sell. Before doing that dear, do your market survey. Find out the cost of a bag of onions in the major big markets in your location.
As for the profit margin, you have N2000 naira or more on a bag depending on the market or location.
Don't worry sir, all will work out fine for you.
Thank you.

Thanks a lot. I'd also like to know, how much is a bag of onions where you are and how much does it cost to transport it here? If I'm buying a bag for instance, how much will I need to transport it here so I can still make a profit?

Its smaller and cheaper than the one I bought.

Sorry, I can't upload pictures for security reasons

@catered4, I've been trying to reach your number but its switched off

Hope a considerable number of blacks are involved!

Involved in initiating the idea/program and desiging the rocket that will take them there or in producing components of the rocket, abi?

SergeAlain:
Wrong my bro!! unlike most of you I dont 'school' in France Lolzzz. I dey Naija gan gan!

Forget the British Army, those are examples, which is why i also used examples of Biafra!!!

All i am showing is that diligent people do their jobs irrespective of the odds (Am sure if you work you can see examples around you everyday. Whether you are a police man or an engineer). Like the other 30,000 Naija troops fighting and dying for you and I to be able to sit in our homes and post 'hot air on our PCs'. Its their jobs.

This does not in anyway excuse our leadership which mismanaged the military for the last 20 years! But this soldier has betrayed those 30,000 other brave souls doing their jobs in the NE.

Thats all am saying!

He that gets paid well works well.

As long as one is underpaid and as long as that person is aware that someone sitting in an office somewhere is earning more than 80% of what one rightfully deserves then you cannot expect a full hearted dedication to any task placed before him.

Your point is understood but totally out of place. Check even the civilians who wile walking down the street throw away pure water nylons, gala wrappers etc(I'm sure you've done that even if its once) and litter the streets of their country. That is an example of lack of patriotism and more often than not its as a result of the fact that an average Nigerian isn't reqarded for any humble accomplishment whereas politicians are given respect and treated as royalty despite the fact that we know they are all thieves.

I once went out with my wife and we bought recharge cards and after loading, she asked for the dustbin only to be advised to throw it on the floor. When she refused and insisted on putting it in the thrash, people started laughing at her like SHE was the one doing something wrong. We had to wait till we got home and put it in our trash can. Now, if my wife should one day decide to litter the streets with dirt, can she be blamed?

He is only being theoritical and by the way he writes, i can bet he doesn't live in Nigeria. At this moment NO ONE is ready to be patriotic to Nigeria. How can he expect a soldier to be willing to put his life on the line when someone is making N4,000 off him while seating in an office? N40,000xthe number of soldiers in the field amounts to millions and billions for doing nothing.

He has failed to see the bigger picture. Comparing Nigeria and Britain like British soldiers have to eat jollof rice before they fight wars.

LRNZH:
Well rested except for a few parts.

Once a soldier knows his entitlements are being pilfered (by up to 80% ) the loyalty in him/her has been eroded. They cannot trust their commanders. This can never happen in the British forces you quote. That lack of trust has already killed the troops morale even before any engagement with the enemy.

I had to roger a soldier N2k the other day to help accost some goods I was transporting because of hoodlums and police disturbance. The soldier was so greatful that I had to ponder their pay conditions. Back in the day, an attempt to give soldier any form of monetary incentive to run an errand by a civilian would land one in the guard room.

My point is... while your analysis is sound for most part, you have laid the blame at the wrong post.

Catered4:
I will do that sir.

Good morning madam,

I've been trying to reach your number but it was switched off both times.

Please, what assistance can you offer for someone like me who is also ready to start with as little as 10k? What's the potential profit margin and what role do I have to play to ensure that it works out. I reside in Sagamu Ogun state but getting to Ketu isn't a problem for me and I can make myself available to conclude the transaction @ Ketu

Thank you
