This is not good at all. There's something very terrible about armed robbery, especially when it takes place in a person's own home.

Your home is supposed to be your sanctuary where you and your family retire to everyday and seek solace from the troubles of the world. When this sanctuary is violated by evil strangers who instil fear and sorrow, the subsequent trauma can be very difficult to overcome.

I've had a similar experience while driving on Allen Avenue in Lagos many years ago. Almost crashed into a building because a big cockroach unexpectedly emerged from the accelerator area and crawled up my leg. Was a lucky escape.

How is this news? We are not interested in the aimless junkets of this hopelessly incompetent Herdsman-in-Chief.

Besides, I thought these APC maggots accused Jonathan of wastefulness. Why is Buhari travelling at tax payers expense, on Nigeria's Presidential jet, with full compliment of military Guard of Honour, just for a reckless and useless political expedition to promote his party's candidate in a state election? Where is the godforsaken "change" they promised Nigerians biko nu?

Yes. The WAEC supervisor has committed an atrocity worse than genocide. It doesn't matter that the useless girl certainly takes off her hijab before hopping on her boyfriends' cocks.

We await news that Mr WAEC supervisor has been beheaded by Islamic Avengers. Or maybe the police would arrest and detain him in order to save his life from aggrieved Muslims who would threaten to kill him.

All that one na story.

La dolce vita.

Part1

Making money from Importation.

Means 1..

Okay, after about a month of being admitted I got a call from one of my wholesale buyers(a store owner that deals on fashion items) requesting for about 45 pieces of a particular brand of wristwatch and women jewelry sets. Now this was a moment I was recuperating and should put all focus on my recovery but that still didn't stop me from operating my phone(which was the main means of having access) and doing all the stuff one can actually do with a phone. I gave it thought and told her I will get back to her. So I decided to play in. Now all I did was;

- Contacted my supplier on Alibaba, discussed with him and asked him if that brand of wristwatch was in stock. He confirmed and showed me samples. Usually the sample are shipped down for me to actually confirm if the stock is good and genuine but myself and my supplier have been able to build a rapport through the period of doing business and in all his honesty he tells me how original or semi-original a product is without me bothering for samples. So I placed the orders and my goods(45 pieces of curren wristwatches) were shipped down.

- For the jewelries I also contacted my Jewelries supplier. Following the usual routine and after negotiations and confirmations 35 pieces of jewelry sets were shipped down.

Overview

Now For 45 pieces of wristwatches I paid $4.75 for a piece.
That is $4.75 by 45 which was $214.
Converting to naira that was about N70,650.

For 35 pieces of Jewelry sets I paid $2.90 for a set(piece).
That is $2.90 by 35 which was $101.
Converting to naira that was about N33,500.

The total sum of money spent was N104,150...
Including shipping charges everything spent was N156,000.
I bought some other personal stuffs too which were all shipped with these goods.

So how was I able to make payment for goods since I couldn't move...!

Well, during period of ailments as such you have many people around you ranging from family,friends,colleagues and public sympathisers so it's easy to have anybody doing anything for you either at free will or at your beckon and call. All I did was put my young cousin in charge. I gave him my atm card to withdraw the said amount and then pay into the account number of the logistics company that will handle the payment and shipping .
Logistics companies are freight handlers. They also handle payments to suppliers there in China. They are the best option for payments and shipping for we in this part of the world when dealing on wholesale sites as Alibaba,1688 and the likes. Not saying you can't pay with other payment options though.

Alright. Payment was confirmed and goods were shipped down. In 3days the goods arrived and was received by my cousin. I had given him instructions and directives.
I called my buyer an told her the goods were now available. Called my cousin to bring 5 pieces each of both wristwatch and jewelries to the hospital for inspection.

To my own amazement the women in the ward with me amongst others(i mean my fam and relatives) liked the jewelry set. You will like them too as a lady. They were lovely. The started throwing questions of how I got them. If they for sale,how much and all that. My mum as business woman did not hesitate to have a one to one discussion with me concerning the supply of those jewelries. The result of our discussion is what turnout to not only have me just taking tens of drugs and receiving injections on the sick bed but also making money and calculating profit in the sick bed.
Oh yeah,and now let's see how much I made from my first deal.

The first deal was in response to a buyer who called earlier..
For the 45 pieces of wristwatches, a piece was sold for N3500.

3500 by 45 which is N157,500 has already given me back all the money I spent in importing both jewelries and wristwatches including some other personals.

For the Jewelries a set went for 2500.
2500 by 35 which was 87500..is the right sense my profit here.
So I was paid by my buyer the total sum of N245,000.
N245,000 minus N156,000 lives me with N89,000 as pure profit.. see that?

Now we just made some money on the sick bed. I settled my cousin with N15,000(he was eventually doing all the contact/movement job) and the rest was deposited back to my account.

Now fast forward to May 7th one of my uncles was to celebrate his 5th wedding anniversary which happen to fall on the same day which is his birthday. It was planned to be big celebration.(this happen to fall on the same week I was discharge to start using support)

Now from the discussion myself and my mum had earlier back in the hospital our initial conclusion was after am fully recovered and strong I will order more of those jewelries for her to sell. But when that celebration period was approaching my mum in her business sense had advice me to again order for those jewelry set I ordered earlier and also some other fashion items if it was possible. I told her it was very possible.

Side note: my mum is the eldest and first female child in their family of about 11 with 8 of them as girls(women) and 3 boys(men).
All of them married and displaced in different states of the country but when it comes to eventualities as what happened to me and celebrations as such which was coming up they all always turn up including many other relatives.

I ordered for 50 pieces of that same jewelry set following the same routine as explained above. Also ordered some other female fashion stuffs which she asked me to get for her. She gave me money for the fashion stuffs while purchase of the jewelry was from my money.

It was simple. I ordered, while she handled the selling.
She was able to sell all the stuff I got for her(including bags,shoes,babies clothes,pregnant women waistband,ladies tops) and also 30 pieces of the jewelries all within the period of the celebration.

My mum is a business woman(deals food stuffs and slothes) so the act of selling is like waving a hand to her. Also all her sisters and relatives already know her as one and anytime she's around there are always things to sell/buy no matter how short the period of time she stays. But all this while mumsy don't know her son is into buying and selling business too

Now let's calculate our profit.
For the jewelry sets got them for $2.90 per piece by 50 gives us $145.
Converting to naira this means I paid N47,850 for 50 pieces.
Including shipping of the product and mum's other goods too I spent a total of N95,000.
Mum had given me N50,000 for the goods she asked me get and total I spent from that was 33,000 therefore the remaining 17,000 went for shiiping expenses which means N95,000 minus 17,000 = 78000. And that was the total of how much I spent from my own money.

Fast forward the goods arrived and this time a set was sold for N5000 a piece(should have even sold for more).
Mum was able to sell 30 pieces which brought in N150,000. After the celebration and time spent with me(concerning my health) she travelled back with the 20 pieces. (okay some side hints. I am from the south and that is where family is but I personally base in my mums home city which was thesame city I was receiving treatment. I think this addresses mums travelling back)

Well after some weeks mum called and said she's sold all the remaining 20 pieces and even asked that I ordered for more. She forwarded N100,000 and then I had to settle down to calculate my profit first. From my first profit of N89,000 in the first deal I spent a total of N78,000 for the second deal living me with a balance of N11,000.(the N15,000 I gave my cousin was from my own personal money)

Now the second deal brought in a total of N250,000 plus N11,000 which gives me a total N261,000 as profit from the two deals..

All that I made while on the sick bed.

The next deals happened in the same routine as in the first and second and huge profits were made as usual. These time I was ordering directly to my mum and I will just give her the overview and how much she should balance me after all the sales.
It was all about jewelries and ladies fashion items.
So how was mum making her own profit? She was selling at her own price and making serious profit too. She already had the wave and was helping me out. That's what get when you have a mother with sense of business. Also it was extra money for her .

Who she sells to? Definitely colleagues at work,church members,friends,neighbours and the rest . Not only that, she's very sociable and already has a lot of contacts from her already existing food stuffs business. So marketing will be easy especially when the products in demand is that which women/girls love. Now she's thinking of opening a shop dedicated to jewelries and fashion items.

Mumsy was not only there for me when I was down she helped me make some money too !!!
Now I have no other option than to teach her how the whole importation stuff works so she can fully handle things by herself.

Notable mentions:
I also made some good money from ordering motor spare parts for a neighbour of mine who had come to greet me during my healing period(I was already discharged at this time and walking with support). These was on such occasions of his visit where my goods arrive at thesame time he was around. We discussed and it was deal.

Means 3(Finally on Importation)

Before I had an accident I have been working on starting contract supplies of products. Though everything came to halt after the incident.
Contract supplies involves supplying(selling) goods in bulk quantities to an individual buyer, retailers/wholesalers and organisations such as churches, schools,groups, etc.
They goods you supply could be customized or not customised depending on how the buyer wants it's. Theses products could just be anything. All what needed is for the buyer to specify what they need,you reach an agreement for price and time of delivery,payment is made. You then go to Alibaba and search for the products, communicate with the supplier,confirm authenticity,indicate how many pieces you want,make payment and the goods will be shipped down.
You get paid and calculate your profit you just made money. That's it.
Contract supplies is actually a very unique and easy way of making huge profits from importation. Even if you are a beginner just one first deal and you'd be already swimming in profit.
Well it is now that am recovered that I will be fully exploiting this field of making money from importation. But then I am already about to make some money(or have already made some money to say) from this as a result of some actions I took while I was still in sick bed.
In the beginning of June I was going through the proposals I had prepared far back in January for the supply of souvenirs to a school. I had made about five proposals, some for schools,banks,churches,big bars(relaxation centre) etc. Respectively.

In my area(where I stayed) there about 3 schools positioned in different points. After deep analysis I decided I was going to try things out to see how it will worked. Academic Session is ending soon(this july) and this is the period where they have such ceremonies/celebrations as Speech and price giving,end of the year(session) party and the likes so I was definitely going to give it a shot.

So I added some finishing touches to the proposal for schools and had my cousin go print it out. This proposal for schools concerned the supply of customised souvenirs such as face caps,socks,wristbands,educational toys,Tees, etc and unique things that could be given as prices to best performing and graduating students.
I had already communicated with various suppliers and asked for samples of different products. The samples were also printed and attached to the proposals. Then submitted to the three different schools. I have an aunty that works in one those schools she handled the submission for the school while my cousin handled the rest.

Fast forward to the middle of June I received a call from one of the school indicating interest and requesting that we meet. Now in my state I can't be able to do that meeting. So I called my cousin and schooled him on everything as it concerns the business and what to expect from the meeting. And indeed he represented well.
Now just by the end of June I received another phone call from same school indicating they are ready for the deal.
What they requested for is 200 pcs of customised face caps in different sizes, 300 pcs of wristbands, sport medals and some other unique souvenirs which will be offered as prices coming in 50 pcs per product.

Payment for this deal has been made and products is to be delivered at least on the 16th of this month.
At the moment I am already working on the supplies.
I can't start going into the calculations of profit and they rest but believe me the profit is very huge. And am still expecting calls from the remaining two schools especially that which my aunt works in am very sure it's a deal there too.

So here we are;
This is a business everybody can do. Just anybody. It's very lucrative. You don't need to spend the bank. Writing and printing proposal for about 10 copies won't take more than 3,000. Submit to as many schools and organization's as possible they will definitely show interest especially since you treating them to a cheap price. Try it and see.

And to importation business in general. Importation biz is very profitable and will continue to be. Set out to start this business and you'd soon be running away from financial constraints. Buy at cheap price and sell moderately or even expensively. Fix your price but always ensure you sell cheaper than market price. Even with the ridiculous exchange rate you can still make money. And even if the exchange rate becomes N500 to a $ today you can still make huge profit from importation.

Alright this is the end of part1.
I have been into importation for about a year plus but from everything you 'll notice that I did not bring in or interfere with how I was making money with it before my accident. Everything shared was how I was making money from it within the period of my ailment and all this I did just with my smartphone.

Yeah,
So how can you make money from the whole experienced shared. Just be cognitive. I believe everybody here is not hearing about importation for the first time and should be able to understand the basics. But if you happen to be a complete newbie you may have to arm yourself with required important information. Get somebody to teach you,make research or perhaps search for information this forum.

Find a product that always sells.
Goto alibaba or any other wholesale site(Alibaba is my favourite) and source for suppliers.
Authenticate seller.
Confirm product originality.
Make payment.
Get your goods down sell and make profit.
It's that easy.

Now let's get to Part 2.. the second way I was making money in the sick bed
Next update

This man right here is a billionaire in the making.

Fabulocity:
How horrible! I still cringe when I hear Nigerians commit suicide, I thought we're supposed to thick skinned!
People are really going through shït, more reason why we should be careful of how we relate and talk to others.
RIP to her.

You don't know the half of it. A significant portion of the population here in Nigeria would have committed suicide if there was a method to do it as easily and painlessly as pushing a button. Many people haven't committed suicide not because they are "thick skinned", but because they are lily-livered and afraid of pain.

I do agree with you that we ought to be careful how we relate and talk to others. Putting already beleaguered people down for no reason and treating them with contempt is very bad. You never know when you deliver what turns out to be the last straw....

Lets also revisit [size=13pt]NASS crusade 2015[/size] when Remi Tinubu tried to anoint Saraki with "Tinubu oil"

Otumba Dino is different from Oloye Saraki.

Don't mind the shameless old bitttch. I hate it when people forget their own transgressions and focus on perceived aggressions against them.

9jatriot:
Has anyone noticed since the backlash on Dino, he has lunch a media onslaught against Mrs Remi Tinubu? He has being trying really hard to give a dog a bad name and justify his actions or reactions as the case may be. He released an unsubstantiated record of events this morning and called it why always Remi, now he is showing a normal section where there are normal arguments and claiming she disrupts sections. From these Videos however, he is showing us that Remi is very active in the senate and her constituency can be proud of her as not someone who only says hay or nay.

Remi Tinubu drew first blood, which means that there is no limit to what her 'victim' can do in retaliation. She called Melaye a thug and a dog. That is enough to warrant any verbal reaction insofar as Melaye did not respond PHYSICALLY.

If you insult me, I can insult your mother and father. If you call me stupid, I can call your entire female lineage including your mother and grandmother prostitutes. To avoid all that, no find trouble in the first place

Umunwanyi.

You're looking at it from a very simplistic perspective. The fundamental fallacy here is that you think the girls who get married every weekend are good girls.

Apart from the obvious fact that many people marry because of societal pressure/expectation rather than from genuine love-based desire, you must realise that people often "find" what they are subconsciously or consciously looking for. Every guy hopes to find a marriageable lady regardless of how scarce he thinks they are. Consequently, many guys end up crystallising a girl that they have some ties with, and falsely see glimpses of "goodness" in her - to their eventual disappointment and detriment.

Well, without prejudice to the seeming mumuishness of the average abokki, I don't think it is out of place to try to pocket one's tablet... insofar as the pocket is wide and deep enough to hold the device.

This is not news.

From glory to glory.

Some people's brains have undergone irreparable damage. So you think Yoruba robbers would spare you if they are on a robbery operation and find out that you are also Yoruba like them? Since when did heartless criminals start employing nationalistic or tribal sentiments in their exploits?

Anuofia of the highest order.

Everything about this charlatan is repulsive. Such a shamelessly ostentatious and materialistic creature claiming to be a "pastor".

N1b might look like a lot of money and it is, but that amount of money is very very easy to squander in one year sef, let alone more than a decade (2005 till date).

Many of the biggest and most consistent ballers on the Island in Lagos or in Abj dey chop N1b for mouth within a year. The key is to keep making money. If your source of funds close, serious wahala dey. Once you stop earning, regardless of how much you saved, e go finish one day... Especially if you have a certain lifestyle that must be maintained.

“In other climes, you are supposed to have concluded investigation before you go after people. But they would want to arrest people and want them to provide evidence against themselves."

This is what I have been screaming for ages. The EFCC and other law enforcement agencies operate this way, and it is a massive shame. What nonsense.

EFCC said it had yet to uncover what the
funds which it said was transferred in
hundreds of millions to Omisore was used for.
It said the applicant had no justification for
the money he received from the former NSA.

Ridiculous is an understatement. Nigerian law enforcement is a huge joke. What is this rubbish? You have no concrete charges. You have no idea what money was used for, and more importantly, what offence was committed by the individual you arrested and detained. Yet you have the audacity to oppose his bail. Is this how law enforcement agencies in civilised countries operate? How can you jump and arrest and detain a person without thorough and exhaustive investigation and iron-clad evidence?

Bunch of bastards in the EFCC, DSS, Police, Military and elsewhere in the security services. Very disgusting things. That's what you get when nepotism and corruption has destroyed the recruitment process for these critical security institutions.

mrvitalis:
Bro u will never really understand the position we are in now.... The man needed to be careful because any little mistake and we are done

Do recycled political urchins and bandits like Amaechi, Ngige, Fashola, Heineken Lokpobiri, Dambazzau and hopelessly incompetent poseurs like Kemi Adeosun and the rest look like products of a "careful" selection process that justified the long delay? You people outdo yourselves in spewing inanity.

Raymarkable:
When I look at the way this country is hard and how I dey find money up and down. It's leaves me in awe how these people still have time to be fighting up and down . I honestly I'm curious. how do they do it?

Much as I detest any kind of violent crime, I logically understand dirty bastards robbing banks or bullion vans or anywhere else they think there is a stash of meaningful cash - in furtherance of this pursuit of money matter (N. B. I hate armed robbers and recommend jungle justice for them). BUT what I would never understand is this senseless aggressiveness and murderousness for no reason - in the name of cultism. It is ridiculous beyond what my brain can comprehend.

Very idiotic question. Can't even bother to explain why.

If it is possible to confer legendary status on someone based on objective criteria, then Wizkid is definitely a legend by Nigerian music standards - especially by the 'new school' standards - starting from the mid 1990s.

In my opinion, he has a richer repertoire of songs and hits than Tuface and D'Banj combined. Wizkid is more or less the Nigerian R Kelly. He can perform hit/anthem songs at any event for a WHOLE NIGHT and he wouldn't run out of songs that the crowd can cheer and sing along with.

I rate legends strictly by output. And by that measure, I can't find any other modern Naija artiste that is superior to Wizkid - song for song.

This guy is fast becoming one of my favourite Nigerian acts, if not the favourite. Such a bundle of talent.

'Pick Up' is still my favourite Nigerian song of 2015/2016...

Oyinbo no be our mate for anything. I would keep saying that.

Very sad indeed. I would have bet my life savings that France would win too....IF I was that stupid.

France fall hand no be small.

Progressive01:
I've said mine. Say yours and move the Bleep along.

Aren't you people ashamed of yourselves?? How come you suddenly believe SR??

****We are talking about an unbiased war against corruption and you prefer to talk rubbish. So an ordinary reprimand is what you recommend for this bloody Thief of Army Staff, yet **** you always shout from the rooftops when it involves officials from Jonathan's administration.

Face the issue and stop talking ranting aimlessly about believing or not believing SR.

Progressive01:
Don't you people have any shame at all. Is SR no longer an "APC propaganda media"?? When it suits you lot, that is your singsong, otherwise, they are the best thing that's ever happened since the discovery of steam engine.

Great job SR- we appreciate all your works.

Hope Buratai gets the reprimand he deserves.

So a mere 'reprimand' is all that he deserves because he is in Buhari's good books? He doesn't deserve to be arrested, disgraced, and paraded in court like Dasuki, Badeh, and the rest?

My primary concern is that the Pound exchange rate against the Naira should not decline too much o. Let it remain 400+, otherwise na wahala for me.
