dadebayo1:
Yes sir your "wife" will be a better manager....... Guess wedding bells will ring soon? All the best sir.

Surprise! Surprise! You missed the wedding!

Na lie o! It's not my wedding. That's me carrying my cousin on her wedding day back in 2009. I never chop belle full talkless of to marry come dey feed wife and pikin. Lol.

Marriage is Vision 2020 for me. At least by 2nd November 2018, I'll be 30years old. Thirty-two is not too late to be a millionaire and to marry, right? Unless someone can donate a working-class wife for me here too. Lol.

27. 28. 29. 30!!! Blood of Jesus! I don dey old o! Obi is no longer a boy o! Lol.

Everyone, please help me thank Aunty Naijacutee for the Superdry watch and two Hawes & Curtis shirts she gave me. God bless you ma.

My friend collected it from her contact in Lagos since last Friday. Anyone who's interested in buying it from me should please call/whatsapp me on 09095000603.

Talking about Lagos, I should be in Lagos next week. I wanted to go there this Thursday but I reasoned that some of the sellers may have travelled for the Easter holiday. I'll stay with my friend at the Ikotun axis for three days at most. Wish I could enjoy agege bread and ewa agoyin for one week but I don't want my vegetables to miss me too much. Lol.

Within those three days, I'll storm the markets to buy goods for my Agbani shop. A big thanks to Uncle Ken, Uncle Krucifax, Uncle Nwa Orlu and Uncle Baroba for the N35,000 I'll be using. (I go mention una real names when CNN go come interview me o! Lol)

I must wow my customers when they get back from this Easter break.

Hmmm... Asids55, I should've invested the whole N300,000 (three hundred thousand naira) on agriculture? No way! Abi you wan make hunger kill me? Lol.

If I had say N600,000 (six hundred thousand naira) as startup capital, I definitely would've been courageous enough to invest N300,000 on a fishery. There are so many beer parlours here in my village and none of them currently serves point-and-kill. That fishery is a goldmine waiting to be tapped here.

That reminds me. My father informed my cousin and I that he wants to sell his land that's beside Obe road. He planted palm trees there many years ago. I think he had a vision of making it a palm plantation but my old man desperately needs money now. Lol.

It's a thing of mixed feelings for me. I'm sad because as his first son, I'm supposed to inherit the land in the future and integrate it into my agricultural vision. I'm happy because if he sells it, he'll have the funds he needs to rejuvinate his struggling business and meet up with other financial demands of the family.

Nevertheless, I'll be happiest if an agricultural firm or a palm oil enthusiast buys the land. That'll be like killing two birds with one stone.

I made a short video of me showing you people my vegetable farm this morning. The video's not up to one minute and not up to 1mb. I dey try save my free mb abeg. Lol.

I tied that cloth around my head because of the disturbance of houseflies and pishipishi (sun-flies). Though I thank God the sun-flies have not come out yet. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare work on the farm bare-chested. Or else, them go use my blood do rituals. Lol.

Here's the link for anyone who wants to download and watch it:

My brother, whatever you do, don't waste your money on any multi-level marketing scheme e.g. Trevo, Tianshi, Alliance in Global, Helping Hands, etc.

If I knew your location, I'd know what kind of business to suggest to you.

Hmmm... Interesting.

Aside from the fact that the Nigerian owner of faceKOBO.com allegedly made the mistake of stating that his site is an alternative to Facebook, it's unfair to attack him for choosing the domain name faceKOBO.com

Why?

1) Face KOBO could mean many things especially "focus on the kobo" (i.e. focus on spending little). In fact, I wish the owner of the site can forget about making faceKOBO a social networking site and instead make it a site about financial advice from a Nigerian perspective. That way, Facebook will have absolutely no case against him as it'll be two different genres.

2) Our KOBO has been existing long before Mark Zuckerberg ever thought of Facebook.

Here is a picture of my village container this morning. As you can see, there are now three containers. Mine is the red one with a green tapolin covering it. The blue one belongs to the man that wants his wife to run her salon there. While the one at the back belongs to a woman running a beer parlour.

The beer parlour has taken off and the salon will soon take off. The ironic thing's that John was the first to site his container there but John will be the last to start business there. Lol.

Well, I'm happy to be a trail blazer. Na me first disvirgin the place com open them eye. Lol

Everybody please help me say thank you to Uncle Baroba. I received N10,000 from him this afternoon. Chukwu gozie wu sir.

I now have more than enough money to roof my village container but I've decided to take Chiwex' advice to concentrate on one business before doing another. I want to grow the Agbani shop and the vegetable farm before opening the village shop.

Although to be honest, the real reason I'm putting the village business on hold is that I realised that making my little cousin the manager as I had initially planned won't be wise. Why?

1) He's rude and disrespectful to me, his elder brothers and even his mum. Remember that day the wind brought down our palm tree? I sent him to get me their own sharp cutlass so I'd use it to cut something, the boy stubbornly stood his ground and said to me, "I can't go back to the house again o!" Can you imagine that? A boy I'm older than with more than ten years. Under normal circumstances, I would've reset his brain with a thunderous slap. Lol. But he's suffering from diabetes and could've collapsed if I did. That day I thought very deeply. If my little cousin can't run a simple errand for me how do I expect him to handle my business? What if he extends his rudeness and disrespect to my village customers?

2) I noticed that he steals little things from me.

3) I read Peter Okoye's explosive interview about his fallout with his elder brother. It made me realise that family is best separated from business.

4) I'm not paying rent on the village container. The land belongs to a member of my extended family whom my grandfather did a lot for. They even refused to take the wine I bought to thank them. Lol.

5) The goods I've bought (cds, electricals and phone accessories) do not expire.

6) The N35,000 that Uncles Ken, Krucifax, Nwa Orlu and Baroba have donated to me can be used to stock up my Agbani shop.

7) My future wife can run the village business for me. Lol.

Please what do you people think about my decision?

Pavore9:
As per apples you talked about in an earlier post, the red stark apple variety (the one in the picture) will do well at your place, first harvest should be about after one year of planting but it must be within a fenced space or else it will become community owned!

Look into the cultivation of lettuce, cucumber, spring onion etc they are less than 3 months crops.

Wow! Are you serious? Can it really grow here in my village? Is this red stark apple the same as those red apples I see being sold by fruit shops?

Tinyemeka:
Whoever issued you that demand notice has fraudulent intent. Check behind that document and see if your kind of shop is listed there (which I strongly doubt). There is no way you'll be asked to pay N7,000. And then those payments are supposed to be made through bank deposits (I think through PayDirect) but the wicked evil spirit struck them out and wrote his phone number there so that you'd have to do it through him.

Sorry if my comment is belated o. I stumbled upon your thread few minutes ago.

Your comment is not belated sir. I haven't paid yet. I checked the back of the document that same day and rigorously searched for my business type under the "description of business" column there.

These are the ones I found to be nearest to the description of my own shop amongst the 238 business types listed:

Boutiques/shoes/babies/ fancy (small)
Registration 2,000
Renewal 1,000

Second hand cloth (small)
Registration 4,000
Renewal 2,000

I don't sell only okirika. Lol. So I ticked the boutiques (small) description of course and confronted the man with his document the next time he came.

He: Iji di two thousand kita? (Are you with the N2,000 now?)
Me: Mba! Mgbe ozo ibiara (No! Next time you come)

So you see? The man was probably just hoping that I'll be ignorant enough to call him to plead and negotiate with him without checking the back of the document. God don catch am. Lol.

If you're wondering what that whitish stuff on the jollof rice is, it's mayonnaise. It makes the rice taste as if there's salad in it. I don teach una new style. Lol.

You people should just better say "John, thank you. Enjoy yourself!" because I can't feed fifty-something Nigerian mouths with this my small plate of rice anyway. Lol. Or there's another solution. I can give you guys one mbembe each. Mbembe is what we call the velvet tamarind (Didn't even know it had an English name. I learnt it on Nairaland last week. Lol) icheleku (Igbo), awin (yoruba), licky licky (pidgin) here in Amurri.

I wish all of you a happy Easter holiday in advance.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Guess what? Yesterday (March 18th) marked exactly one month since I started my Agbani business. So I took this picture yesterday to celebrate. Lol.

Business has been growing gradually. Last week was especially good. Sold two items on the 7th, three items on the 8th, SIX items on the 9th, one item on the 10th and one item on the 11th. Even on the 12th that I couldn't open shop, two of my customers later told me that they checked on me. Wow! I wish every week will be like last week and everyday like that 9th. Unfortunately, una know sey everyday no be Christmas. Lol.

In fact, this week was very slow. I didn't sell anything on the 14th, 16th and today the 19th. I know the reason. Many ESUT students have finished their exams and are already traveling for the Easter break. The good thing's that they'll come back with money after the holidays. Lol. The bad part's that Agbani will be dull for about one or two weeks while they're away. Sighs.

Oooh! I'll miss the beautiful faces of my customers. Most especially the handsome faces on their cash. Lol.

You are all welcome to visit me if you're in Agbani. I'm at 44 Enugu road, Agbani. My small container that looks like a woman's sexy wardrobe (lol) is between a pharmacy shop and an okada-mechanic's place. Just make sure you come loaded with cash to buy something for yourself if you're a lady or for your wife/girlfriend if you're a guy. Even if you're a single guy, you must buy something for your sister, aunty, niece, cousin or even your female neighbour. Una no go escape me o! Lol.

This is a picture of my vegetable farm that I took this morning. The ugu is growing and I've staked them with sticks so that they can climb. My greatest challenge has been weeds and grasses. Especially the grass. Uprooting them with just your bare hands is a waste of time. You'll have to use a hoe to dig out their deep wicked roots. And you must be careful so that you don't harm your plants in the process. Or else, the grasses will laugh at you. Lol.

naijacutee:
Sorry to hear you've been ill, John. I think you've had food poisoning. It isn't major - you need to drink plenty of water, and rest a lot. Here's more about it here: http://www.nhs.uk/CONDITIONS/FOOD-POISONING/Pages/Treatment.aspx


Who's going to open your shop though?
Have you spoken to your friend Obinna? I called him over the weekend.
Get well soon.

Aunty Naijacutee, thanks for caring. I felt 80% better after the vomiting. The next day, I dropped my poisoned stomach at home and went to open my shop kam jee kpata ego as a real Igbo man mu bu! Lol.

Yes. Obinna called me few minutes ago. Please check your email ma. So that I'll know what next to do.

I've been purging and purging and purging since I said good night. Later on, I started to feel the urge to vomit. I left the toilet seat to lean on the bath tub. No vomit. I took a bucket to my room in case the vomit came while I was lying down. No vomit.

It was only few minutes ago, around some minutes past ten when I woke up to purge again that the vomit finally poured out. So sorry for the graphic picture if your eyes are allergic to such sights. Lol.

I feel much better now. Though hungry. I'll check the chemist tomorrow and explain what happened to me today. I'm suspecting the popular "do not eat mango and drink garri" warning I've always heard since I was a little boy.

Doctors in the house, please what is your diagnosis? See how I'm stylishly asking for free medical advice. I too like free things. Lol.

My body has decided to remind me that "body no be firewood". Lol. I noticed that my body was weak yesterday but I ignored it and did my usual morning farm work. Then this morning, I was blowing my nose. Yet I had no choice but to ignore my body again and water my vegetables.

The biggest mistake I made was when I ate two unripe mangos. I haven't tasted any mango for over one year. So I guess my long-throat overpowered me. Lol. After eating the unripe mangos, I ate beans and garri. When I got to Agbani, my neighbour bought me soyamilk. Of course, I long-throatfully drank it. Lol.

My stomach started a violent coup around 11am. My nose was runny. My hanky dealt with my nose but I didn't know what to do about my stomach. By 2:30pm it was worse. I started contemplating if I should close my shop and take an okada home.

I went to my cousin's boutique to tell him my predicament. He laughed with pity.

Him: Let me take you to the school where you go shit
Me: Toilet dey there?
Him: Na for bush o!
Me: Thank you my brother

And off we went. I bought tissue paper N50, entered his okada, he took me to the ESUT bush and I did my thing.

Me: God bless you my brother. You don save me today.
Him: No wahala.

Later on, he had to close shop around 6pm instead of around 7pm because of me and my stomach. God bless my cousin.

I'm home now. Weak, blowing my nose and still purging. I hope to be strong enough for tomorrow's Eke market day.

Good night everyone. And remember sey your body no be firewood. Lol.

Everyone, please thank God for me o! There was a very forceful wind blowing yesterday. The rain it brought wasn't as heavy as we all thought it would be.

Well, the wind brought down one of our old palm trees. Thank God the fallen palm tree didn't bring down the fence when it fell on it. And thank God my father came for a traditional marriage on Saturday. That means he was around on Sunday to witness the windy rainfall and pay the N2,000 for this man to cut up the fallen palm tree with his chainsaw.

I no get N2,000 to pay for unexpected expenses abeg. Lol.

Krucifax:
@ JohnNgene I've just sent you N10,011.87. Because of the time of day now you may receive it on Monday morning in your GTB account. Please let me know when you do. God bless with your efforts. Cheers.

Uncle Krucifax, I just received the exact N10,011.87 few minutes ago. The alert woke me up at 3:59am. Oh, what a wonderful way to be woken up on a Monday morning. Lol. Thank you sir. May God's financial favour and blessings wake you up every Monday morning. Amen!

Hmmm... Your article is deep. Very deep!

The problem I have with it however is that you're attacking our local entrepreneurship from the angle of globalisation.

What do you have to say about the indigenous refining of crude oil in the creeks of Niger Delta for instance? Do you support the further destruction of such resourceful improvised efforts by the Nigerian government under the tag of "illegal refineries"? So that the Nigerian government can build proper refineries of "global standard"? Or do you realise that if government were to support and regulate these so-called illegal refineries, Nigeria would no longer need to import foreign refined oil in about five years time?

And please do not look down on our artisans, soap makers, bead makers, etc. These people would be the CEOs to invest in the industrialization that our country needs.

Forget about the Nigerian government. Have they provided basic amenities like roads and power? Talk more of having a long-term vision of global industrialization you're advocating for here?

Krucifax:
JohnNgene I can't claim someone else's contribution to your effort. It wasn't me who sent that money. I hadn't seen your reply to my message earlier so I haven't sent it yet. But I'm in front of my laptop now and it should reach your account in a maximum of two hours. So reply this message with the account details and I'll get it done asap. Pls confirm as soon as you get it. Cheers .

Oh my God! Sorry for the mix up sir. I thought you were the one with the foreign phone number that sent me a text to confirm my account details o! No wonder! I kept wondering why the person's number began with 1202... instead of London's +4.

Here's my account details once again sir.

DRJECKYLL:
So john i see that you have been spending. Have you been selling?. How is day to day business. Or have not decided to be up and running.

How did you notice that I haven't declared my income? You must be an auditor or a tax collector. Lol. Yes, I've been up and running since February 18th.

According to my sales book, I've made N18,900 after the sale of 25 items. N9,100 is capital while N9,800 is profit. I used N7,100 to get more girdles and leggings last Saturday. I'll use the remaining N11,800 to get tights, more jumpsuits and rompers which my customers are demanding.

I wish I could do abracadabra and appear in Lagos to buy them. Lol. Lagos just has the kind of variety and affordability that I need but transport alone fit swallow the whole money. Lol. I guess I have to look for an alternative source in Enugu town, Onitsha or Aba.

People in this clothes business, any suggestions please?

Let me take advantage this Up NEPA to do this breakdown now. Has anyone noticed that power supply has dropped drastically? My free beans has dropped drastically too. Lol. Had to buy one painter of brown beans today for N700.

Here we go:

NgeneFarms.com (domain + hosting) 4180
MyMainMarket.com (two years domain) 3,960
Electric cooker 1,800
Gallon 550
Rechargeable lamp 700
Tap head 500
OKPA 2,700
Bags of pure water 400
Beer 3,000
Transportation (Okada + Keke) 2,800
Recharge cards 3,500
Charity work 5,500
Shoes (for my bestmanship. Lol) 6,000
Wedding expenses (transport, feeding etc) 3,000
Beans (one painter) 700
Snacking and brunching 1,250
Miscellaneous 5,000

That's 45,540 right? I had to add some other expenses that I forgot to include in the previous breakdowns. E.g. NgeneFarms.com under agriculture. I've also used the big grammar "miscellaneous" to cover up some expenses and exigencies that I can never remember. Lol. These small spending here small spending there are definitely the hardest part of finances to keep track of.

So in grand total, that's:
Agbani business 151,580
+
Amurri business 87,080
+
Agriculture 2,500
+
Others 45,540
= N286,700

N300,000 - N286,700 = N13,300

Now, N13,300 + N10,000 (thanks to Uncle Ken) + N5,000 (thanks to Uncle Nwa Orlu) =N28,300 (MODIFIED 12TH MARCH after Uncle Krucifax informed me that he's not the one who sent me the N5,000)

Oh my God! From N300,000 to N28,300. Business no easy o! Lol.

MODIFIED (ON 12TH MARCH):

Everyone, please help me thank Uncle Nwa Orlu (that's what he said I should call him) for the N5,000 (five thousand naira) he transferred to me from the USA this morning. God bless you sir. May God enlarge you financially there in USA and at home here in Igboland. Amen!

With Uncle Ken's N10,000 plus Uncle Nwa Orlu's N5,000, I'll be roofing my village container very soon. My people have been asking me when I'll finally open it. Even my small cousin who'll be managing it for me has been restless and tired of waiting for me. Hmmm... So I go soon become person oga? Lol.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Seun,Lalasticala dis thread deserves FP!

Thanks HighestPopori. I know you have good intentions but being on the front page has a way of bringing in too many derailers and distractors into a post. Please let's just progress slowly and steadily till we win the race.

Sorry everyone. Forgive me if it seems like I'm digressing from our business story. I'll continue as soon as I can.

And thanks so so so much for all your comments. I read each and every one of them even though I may not respond to it all. Una dey make my head swell like blomblom for here o! Lol.

jamela:
With the power stance in this picture you have here, one would think you were a professional model. It's not easy to pull off the "Farmer in a straw hat" pose and still look good. Even Olajumoke no pose reach you. lol. If you aren't already into modeling, I suggest you consider it too, and hope maybe some connected Nairalanders can help.

Jamela, you're funny. Lol. My immediate younger sister is the model of our family o! She's been modeling in Abuja since when she was still an undergraduate. This is a picture of her I used (for free and without her permission) for my business. (Damn! It feels so good to be a big brother. Lol) When she saw it on my Whatsapp, she begged me not to make her an Agbani local celebrity. So I'll probably use it only on my whatsapp and website. FOR NOW. Lol.

Isn't she looking so Naomi Campbell-ish and Agbani Darego-ish? If we're walking together on the road, you'd think she's my model girlfriend. Lol.

naijacutee:
Lol, they don't. But there are some people who buy them for reasons best known to them.

Aunty Naijacutee, I sent a mail to the email address you gave me. Please check your inbox and spam/junk box.

Good morning everyone, see what my cousins caught in their trap AT MY BACKYARD this early morning. (Should I be scared or happy that these kind of wild animals are visiting MY BACKYARD? Lol) It's called "avu enu" in my dialect. I don't know if that's the general Igbo name talk more of knowing it's English name. Somebody please educate us if you know. Lol.

You're all invited to the feast. We'll probably wash it down with palm wine this evening. Forget about Ebola or Lassa fever jor. They don't exist here. My people eat squirrels, bush rats, monkeys, dogs, cats etc. I'm serious o! I've even eaten dog meat like twice here. The only animals I'm sure we don't eat are vultures, wall geckos, frogs and human beings. Lol.

And forget about being a vegetarian or animal activist in the village. E no dey possible. You either eat the animals or they eat you. Lol.

If I don't talk about my other friend the future Minister of Business, this my story won't be complete. He's the one that inspired me to try the cd, electricals and phone accessories business. He left his two shops to personally show me where to buy the necessary goods at Onitsha. God bless you and flourish your business bro.

I've known him since SS2 in King's College Lagos. He used to sell pure water, sardine, spaghetti, singlets, boxers etc in dorm. He also used to lend boys money (God have mercy on you if you if you failed to pay him on time and with the agreed interest. Lol). He was also doing business with his camera. He'd snap pictures and then sell them to whoever paid for it. He was so legendary we started calling him "the Business prefect".

This reminds me of what Robert Kiyosaki wrote in his book Rich Dad Poor Dad. He noted that schools do not give students financial education (i.e. do not teach how to make money). They only teach them how to be employees and work for money. I agree with him. Nigerian schools need to consciously groom the future Dangotes, Adenugas, and Linda Ikejis from a young age. Why can't there be a position like business prefect in secondary schools for example?

Let me stop here before I begin to sound like Senator Ben Murray Bruce or worse still like one hungry Igbotic motivational speaker. Lol.

A breakdown of my stomach infrastructure and other miscellaneous expenses coming next. Lol.

LUKINGUY:
John,

If the person who lend you the money read this post am sure he would be proud of you.

You're right. He loves me like a brother and is very proud of me. He hasn't read this my Nairaland post yet but he follows my progress via my Facebook pictures and posts. I call him from time to time too. I was even his best man at his wedding last December. That shows you how close we are.

I've grown to see wisdom in the Igbo saying that "onye nwe mmadu kariri onye nwe ego" which means that "a person who has somebody is greater than a person who has money." It's true. Without my friend and his loan, I would've have still been walking the streets of Onitsha hawking and registering Airtel/Glo sim cards with my hopes and dreams beeping low battery, low battery, low battery. Lol.

God bless you my friend. I love you like David loved Jonathan. I don't mean David Mark and Goodluck Jonathan o! Lol.

Here's what I've invested in my agricultural business so far.

Hoe 1,500
Ugu pod 300
Ugu seeds 50
Ewa seeds 50
Sharpening of cutlass 50
Straw hat 150
More ugu seeds 100
More ewa seeds 100
Cucumber seeds 100
Green seeds 100

That's N2,500 right? Lol. If we could calculate the cost of my own manpower (I mean labour not the energy concoction or aphrodisiac o! Lol) used in farming, I should be paying myself about N5,000. Lol.

In future (a year from now by God's grace), I hope to be involved in animal husbandry (goats, pigs, ducks and guinea pigs).

My love for agriculture goes back my primary school days when I used to dig out earthworms just to watch them crawl back into the soil. Lol. Or plant beans, flowers and aloe vera in tin containers. Lol. Even as a senior art student at King's College Lagos, I chose Agricultural Science as my vocational subject instead of the Commerce or Food and Nutrition that we Art students were known to choose. Lol.

Some of you might be surprised to learn that I'm a King's College old boy. I be omo Eko o! Lol. Grew up at Aguda in Surulere then moved to Onitsha only few years ago before finally moving here to my village.

Now, you'll also understand why my parents and siblings are not happy that I've decided to become a village champion. Lol.

"Papilo, I know sey one day you go make us proud"

I know I'm not Kanu Nwankwo. Lol. But I must make myself, my family and all of you proud.

Can somebody shout alleluyah? Lol.

I asked for a surprise and I just got an unpleasant one. Lol.

While I was uploading my previous post, a man from the Enugu State Ministry of Commerce and Industry walked up to my shop and served me this demand notice (see the paper in the picture).

He had come with another man about two weeks ago. That time they said I'll pay N4,000 for registration instead of only N2,000 for renewal. This time around, this man has written N7,000 and disappeared before I could even protest or question him. Nawa o! Lol.

It's not funny though. I had to meet my landlord to put me through.

Landlord: Call Friday (Friday's the former owner of my container), ask for his business premises receipt and continue the payment from where he stopped.

Me: Ok. Thank you sir.

I really hope I don't pay more than N2,000 for this business premises thing. The next people to show up will be the Enugu State Waste Management Authority. Oh no!

Meanwhile, my business neighbour just told me that the landlord's suggestion won't work.

Me: Why na?

Him: Friday was doing a different business (phone accessories and repairs) and they have an association. When these people come, they meet as an association and contribute N200 each.

Me: Chai! What do I do now?

Him: Don't worry! I'll talk to somebody into this your kind of business so that you can join their own association.

Me: Thanks bro.

Him: How you go pay them 7thousand? Them dey craze?

Association of Clothes Sellers, here I come. Lol.

Buhari's NEPA has gone from bad to worse o! No light. No dollar. Lol. Had to charge my phone at my neighbour's shop with generator power this morning.

Here's the breakdown of my second business (the village container for cds, electricals and phone accessories).

Container 45,000
Transport 4,000
Cement (2 bags) 2,700
Transport of cement 850
Flooring 6,000
Refreshment of labourers 900
Padlock 350
Amplifier 3,500
CDs 4,960
Electricals 8,590
Phone accessories 10,230

That's N87,080 for now. I'll still spend about N25,000 on roofing, a platform for displaying my goods and on wiring. I wasn't planning on investing more than N50,000 on this village business. But like play like play, it's already reaching the N100,000 mark. Lol. Thank God I kidnapped an old tv and speakers from our house. Otherwise, I might have had zero naira left in my account by now. Lol.

One man told me that I shouldn't look down on the village business. He said I shouldn't be surprised if it brings in more profit than the Agbani business. I can't wait to be surprised o! Lol.
