Hmm... it is fine. What if I don't have 6k to start? Can I do one month subscription for a cheaper amount?

Mikeaniebiet:
They actually save you the work of going into the markets in search of the big wholesalers. They go to the major markets, research, locate and onboard the suppliers to make life easy for the reseller (retailer).

So all they have to do is connect with any supplier of their choice at www.gotahia.com

Ok.. that makes sense. But how do they make money? Looks like they will add a commission to the price of the products.

Interesting

So Gotahia is an online wholesale market, right?
You meet people in the real markets on Gotahia and you get their contact details so you can do business with them and Gotahia is not a middleman... how does Gotahia make money then?

How does it work? Is it free?

Hmm.. what is number 3?

Do they deal on other type of products? I mean this gotahia.com

I visited gotahia.com and it seems like they help you connect with importers and wholesalers if you want to start a business. How do they get these importers?

Are you saying one can buy from Gotahia and sell on Jiji? Will that be profitable? Is there significant difference in price?

So the people on your site buy products in wholesale? how does it work? will they pay you and then you will pay me? I don't understand.

Does this mean I can get the contacts of importers from your site and do business with them directly? that is go to their shop and buy... not through your site?

I have heard about some of these local dropshipping companies and it makes sense to me, instead of buying from China and waiting for weeks to get the product, I will prefer to do dropshipping with a Nigerian company if they are legit and the business of profitable.
Fully stocked online store.. does that mean they will build a website for me? Where will I get the product that I'll sell?

Vikings007:
You will be asked to register Your business if You're successful, because the money will be paid into Your business account.

Abeg o...are we going to stay there for four days or are we going to be allowed to go home and come the next day?

Funjosh:
Received thanks boss.
Hmmmm the business plan no be moimoi o

This is the best time to invest in landed properties around the Ibeju-Lekki axis as the #SmartCityLagos will result in drastic development of Ibeju-Lekki. Buying a plot of Land in a good location is still very affordable now, 1.5m - 3m NGN, five years from now and it will be a whole different story. Half-plot available so no excuse not to be part of this industrial city. Land here appreciate at an amazing rate, A land we sold at 600k in October 2015 is being sold at 2.5M in June 2016. These lands are DRY lands and a lot of development is already going on in the area.
