Woolworths, Safeway, Kmart, Walmart, Target, That's the economy of Western Countries,
Sorry but where is this England where people buy their groceries from Italian clothing shops?

Abeg carry your yarn commot fo hia, you no sabi the thing wey you they say. Ori gono gono,

E bi like say you know know wetin you dey talk this man.

First of all, Woolworth has no place in Nigeria. We should develop our own fashion houses. why is it that na only wetin the oyinbo bring all the time na him una dey respect. Wetin day wrong with you black man? Na this kind behaviour make oyinbo dey respect every other race first before he respect balck man. in fact he no respect black man and he think say black man just be one step up from a Gorilla. That na why even their top scientists dey talk say black man dey less inteligent than other races and you know the sad thing, sometimes I almost dey believe am but I think say he put am wrongly  bc black man no dey less intelligent because I studied with mostly white people at Uni and I can tell you say many of the black people in my class were more inteligent than 95% of the oyinbo people in my year: Just see wetin their top scientist dey talk about you here: http://news.independent.co.uk/sci_tech/article3067222.ece and www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article2677098.ece.

Like say the Scientist talk say black people are the most IGNORANT of all races I for applaud am. 

On a final note, if nah Woolworth you dey shop then you don tell us (at least me) your class, nothing for me to say anymore on that.

Hello All,

I'm a Nigerian based in the UK and I have been trying to Register an LTD company in Nigeria for the past couple of weeks for a business we are opening up in Nigeria. The problem is that the so-called Lawyer we took is messing us about and unnecesarily delaying our operations which is having the knock-on effect of costing us money.

Can anyone here at Nairaland help or recondmend someone or a Lawyer that can incorporate the company for us pronto?

All the details i.e. share capital, directors, % of share holders, line of business etc are ready.

Thanks Guys

I want to Register a company but do you have a website or landline?

Thanks

@Vulcan

currently i'm still in the UK and was hoping to speak to them b4 arriving Nigeria. thats why i need the number to speak to them to find out what they are offering.

spoke to VGC Comms and they gave me a price quote already as follows:

INSTALLATION COST: 60,000 naira
MONTHLY RECURRENT COST,
64Kbps/64Kbps 40,000 naira
64 Kbps /128 Kbps 60,000 naira
128 Kbps/128 Kbps 80,000 naira

Erm, can anyone with experience tell me if their cheapest option of 64Kbps/64Kbps is any good to run a 7 computer office?

@cgift

I'm watching very carefully no doubt but thanks for the warning. spoke from London to a few who've already forwarded me telephone numbers today .some seems to know what they are doing others seems not to have a clue. Anyways, i'll be careful mate

Cheers

@ ALHAJI ali

I spoke to this people at aashipping now and I wasnt impressed at all because  unlike other shippers they cannot guarantee when my cars would be shipped

Also, their price is as follows:

Prices for Container:

- Container = $3950

Prices for Loading: (which you must pay)

- 1 Car = $450
- 2 Car = $600
- 3 Car = $900
- 4 Car = $1150

Prices for within US Transportationwhich you must pay unless you bring the car to them yourself)

- Between $250 - $600

Finally they only ship from 3 Ports as opposed to from every port in the US.


Anyway, I didnt like their setup. Didnt sound professional to me.

@whitelexi

Thanks

@Lorenxo

Please Provide the phone number of this your MTN people they seems a good deal

@obabs

I see you location is showing as UK so you are probabably located in the UK and must have some affinity with what i'm going to tell you here. Your idea is a good one but there are some inherent disadvantages you need to consider if you are to proceed.

Firstly, i'm a Nigerian who runs a rather large company in the UK and for the past 3 years all our customer service, IT Solutions, software developments etc have been outsourced to companies in India and we couldn't ask for for a better service. So be prepared to offer an equal or better service than UK and other western companies are getting already.

Secondly, be prepared to face hurdles and obstacles especially when soliciting for werstern business. The reason I am telling you this is the following. As a Nigerian who runs a company in the UK, even we have our difficulties when we bid for contracts for our service especially if the client knows that the overall boss of the company is Nigerian. In some cases, I have to let my staff who is white to handle negotiations even though it is me that ultimately oks everything. So look for a foreign partner to get you foreign contracts.

Thirdly, these westerners will not trust you. Most probably your biggest obstacle is TRUST with a capital T as that is what business in the western world boils down to and the botton line is that most westerners don't trust Nigerians period. Even somebody like myself who has lived most of my adult life in the UK they still have a prblem when they find out my origin is from Nigeria and I'm sure i'm not alone in facing this problem.

Fourthly and at the risk of repeating what some else in this forum has already said, the cost of doing business in Nigeria is too high & the lack of good and quality IT people in my view in comparison to let say India and other IT hotbeds. I'll give you an example.

- Our company plans to open a branch in Victoria Ireland and we discovered that the Broadband Internet Service being provided by a company called Hyperia is actually more exepensive than the amount we pay for Broadband Service in our office in London. So you might not be able to compete well with your competitors in India until our so-called government make the price of doing business in Nigeria go down. Every country that want to attract foreign investors in the world are doing it but not Nigeria. How can the cost of doing business in Nigeira be higher thant the cost of doing business in the UK or USA? What is the rationale for this? Can anyone explain that to me? This is a rhetorical questions so I don't need people posting messages to me about the ifs, whats and whys of why this is so  .

- Also, there is the lack of enough IT professionals. Our company have been looking for a good ASP.NET Coders in Nigeria to take a position in our Nigerian Office IT Solution but for the past 2 months we have not even found even a single one. So in my view there are not enough qualified IT people like in India which of course is a disadvantage to Nigeria businessess.

Fifthly is the issue of "RELIABILTY" with a capital "R" and a two-prong dimension. Firstly, how reliable would be the infrascructure you are going to use like electricity, Internet Access etc? Because don't forget, IT Solutions needs to be reliable and accessble most of the time. For example the company handling our Call Center operation with our customers enquiries in India are able to talk to our customers on the phone and Live Chat 24/7. You've got to ask yourself, is this something you can offer, assure and deliver to your foreign clients? The second prong to the reliability issue is, how reliable are the people working for you? You've got to get this spot on! You cannot afford to have or allow some half baked twits working for you that are unreliable when the person you are delivering the service for is a western company from Germany or UK or Canada or wherever who are used to evenrything functioning like a Swiss clock.

I could go on and on to give you more reasons why this will be dificult not from a single company's setting up point of view but from the bigger picture of Nigeria becoming an IT Hotbed like India or other countires in the Asian Sub-continent. But even as a single company setting up you still have to address the above listed issues especially if you want to become a big and successful company. ABOVE ALL, Nigerians have to brush up on their professionalism beause believe you me, it is not an accident that thousand of companies are outsourcing to India, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand that are like almost the end of the world in terms of distance when countries like Nigeria which is just like 5 hours away from Europe with a high literate population is just around the corner. Believe you me, this is no accident.

Setting up and looking after the local market is probably a better solution and a step forward before concentrating your efforts on the international market unless you have massive amounts of money that your company can survive on until contracts start coming from foreign comapnies. One more thing, I can't imagine how you will do it without the participation of a foreign company that actually source the foreign contracts for you (ibid my second point).

This is not a criticism of your idea or by any means trying to dissuade you but just a reality check of it. At the end of the day even with the listed problems our company is still setting up a branch in Nigeria. So good luck with this endeavour and hopefully you succeed.

@Lorenxo

sounds really cheap that MTN offer. have u got a phone number or website for them mate? also, how come corporate monthly subscription is cheaper than personal use? its usually the other way round isnt it?

@Seun
thanks for this info.

@ all others
any more suggestions are welcomed

@paribus

My brother the answer is exploitation by this foreign companies. Can you imagine, the same company (hyperia) gave me a quote by two diffewrent people on two the days and for the same product, the monthly subscrition is over N80,000 apart!

It looks like they just decide arbitrarily how much they are going to charge customers depending the day of the week? When will our goverment realise that the only way to true ecomomic development is for them to invest in technology?

This is really frustrating you know and prevent some of us who would actually like to come back to Nigeria to try and start businesses from doing so.

Anyway, anyone who knows anything should please input.

Hi everyone

We need some help guys. Our company runs an online hotel booking company in London UK and we are looking to open a branch in Lagos that would be selling discount flight tickets and hotel reservation worldwide to all our Nigerian customers as well as assisting customers with their Visa requirements. We have secured an office in Victoria Island and the only problem is that we can't seems to find a good and affordable Internet Service Provider in Lagos.

All the companies are saying we need VSAT or KU-Band but are quoting some ridiculously exhorbitant amounts. Even more expensive that we pay in our London office!

Does anyone here have any idea of a good, reliable and affordable Internet Service  Provider for Nig?

Any help is appreciated
