Hello Nairalanders,

I have been working remotely for a tech startup based in Germany for over four years now. However, my contract with them expired a few months ago, and there is no possibility of renewal. The reality for me right now is that it's tough to find foreign companies where I can earn in international currency while living cheaply in Nigeria.

I want to leverage my experience from the German startup to secure a position with a Nigerian tech company. Although I haven't found an opportunity yet, I believe it should be easier to secure a role with a local tech startup. However, I'm worried the pay might be significantly lower—perhaps just 15-30% of what I earned at the German company—which would feel disempowering.

As an alternative, I'm considering starting my own business with my savings (approximately 7 million naira). This could be something I manage alone or pursue alongside a position in the Nigerian tech ecosystem.

I'd appreciate advice on how best to proceed. Is it too early to consider entrepreneurship? I really need guidance from professionals on how to navigate these career and business options.

Quick background about me: I'm 26 years old and have just completed my NYSC.

Hello great investors and business experts in the house.
A friend of mine just relocated to Nigeria 🇳🇬 from USA, and wishes to set up a profitable business with 10million naira, he wants ideas on the type of business that will give good return on investment...

AmgAmg:
I recently received an inheritance and now have over ₦150-million just sitting here, doing nothing. I need solid advice on how best to invest this money. I’m looking for a moderate to high-yield investment that won’t be affected by the depreciation of the naira.

Let’s be real ….. we’ve all seen how bad the naira has devalued over the years. The last thing I want is to put my money into something, only to wake up in a few years and realize its value has been slashed into half. You know what I mean. Even if the business is in naira, it has to be highly profitable so that currency depreciation won’t eat away it.

I don’t want meaningless or negative suggestions…. only serious, well-thought-out opinions . I’m open to meeting up as well….. to discuss solid business ideas, and trust me, a handsome reward awaits whoever brings the best proposal.

That said, let me be clear:
I have the Commissioner of Police and EFCC on speed dial. If anyone thinks this is an opportunity for a scam, just know that any fraudulent attempt will be dealt with the full extent of the law.

If you have a genuine, profitable, and well-researched idea, let’s talk.

I do not outrightly condemn grafting, the guy is a newbie and he has already transplanted, grafting is not an option for him at that stage, I only suggested options with which he can pick from to manage his crop since he has transplanted.
I don't do grafting nor use grafted seedlings and I will never do. I have better cultivars with better yield ( even more than double the yield of what you quoted above) and I have no worry about BW.

Jaywrld:
I have the same thought too
Grafting is not really ideal. If you search the internet the best way to avoid BW is planting resistant varieties
I haven't tried grafting though but I don't think it would be worth it
99% success rate that's questionable
If varieties like Rambo f1 can yield 2kg per plant then it's okay with the strong resistance to bacterial wilt it possesses

Jaywrld:
But pls I still need to ask
Tomatoes hasn't been grown on my farm before it's only cassava two years ago it has been a virgin land since
I want to know my chances of getting a good crop out of 100%
I also fumigated the land with Neem oil prior to transplanting

Jaywrld:
I think i would stick with Rambo
It would make sense for a newbie like me and when I advance in knowledge I can graft or go into greenhouse farming directly which is my plan

Jaywrld:
Is the rootstock expensive and how do I get it

Mrdellychy:
Lol, pls ignore him. The grafting option is not for you or are you into research and development? (Maybe those growing perennial crops may find it useful).
You should hav asked him to name just only one tomato rootstock that can be grafted and give 99% BW resistant cultivar as he claimed. Even the Almighty research and development firms like East-west seed, technisem, etc...the best they can offer is 50% (intermediate) BW resistance cultivar.

Jaywrld:
From your previous talks you must be growing rz varieties so can you explain how you manage to successfully grow them

Jaywrld:
Pls 🙏 just tell me how I can handle the bacterial wilt disease in gamhar rz
I transplanted them last week and ive been checking for signs of wilting there have been none so far

Pls 🙏 enlighten me on the managerial practices it woild be nice to learn from someone like you considering you farm the same cultivar in the same region as me

I need to know how to manage my crops come the bacterial wilt, so as to not lose my investment

Jaywrld:
Thank you for the reply
Pls what's the average yield per Rambo f1 plants and where can I get the seeds in abeokuta
Also is it worth doing gamhar on the open field even if I can manage it

Jaywrld:
Is Padma resistant to bacterial wilt too
Between Padma,cobra, platinum and Rambo which one has bigger fruits and more productive thanks 👍

bassey25:
Interesting! What's a better way to handle bacterial wilt in tomatoes

Jaywrld:
Which hybrid variety do you recommend then

Jaywrld:
Gamhar rz f1 has a strong resistance to fusarium and verticilium wilt
Is bacterial wilt any different

saysoo:
Pls expatiate on this BW thing.

Hasib04:
Do you think mydas worth the hype?

Jaywrld:
Is it gamhar rz you cultivated?
If not then why? its also a determinate tomato meant for open field with a good yield and resistance to various diseases
