You don't have a visa yet and you say you're travelling. Change your topic to planning to relocate to Istanbul,Oga. grin

As for their visa, why don't you check and apply online. The world is a global village now.

Alright sir.
But how do I apply for the visa online?
I ask because I don't want to end up wasting money due to misinformation / improper knowledge.

thanks you.
Travel / Hoping to Travel To Turkey by lexdino: 7:41pm On Oct 19, 2018
I am interested in traveling to Istanbul, Turkey with the hope of working legally over there.
The problem is that I haven't travelled out of Nigeria before.
Please I need inputs of well-meaning Nigerians with good knowledge regarding how I can obtain a Turkey Visa that will permit me to reside and work over there.


thanks in advance.

Lol, you want your competition to teach you. They are not information marketers who teach people businesses they lie to be involved in. Well, do whatever you think is best for you and you can manage.

Alright. Thank you

You got me laughing with this, are you looking at what you will be happy producing or what will felt you money. What if you produce your bathing soap and it doesn't move in the market as you expect and some one is producing nylon and is cashing in money every day as an entrepreneur which is better. Bros use you tongue count your teeth grin

Okay. Guess I will have to start doing more research into the business. Initially, I was thinking nylon production refers to production of those mini transparent and black cellophane/nylon and then supplying to market women with a wheelbarrow.

Where did I say it is easy, you think becoming an entrepreneur is child's play. If you're not even determined, soon you will find yourself looking for job after spending your capital and your family may even contribute to ending your career in entrepreneurship by helping you get a job. To be an entrepreneur, you must be ready to go out and do what every other person is not doing.

You said you do not have capital, neither do you have experience, nobody will give you money to start. If you are able to create a comprehensive financial statement to guide you and raise enough capital to bootstrap then you can learn on the job since you're not willing to learn from others.

I understand what you're saying but I'm not in anyway insinuating that I need an easy way out. What I mean by "not being easy" is that according to your suggestion, the time, energy and resources that I will have to expend on finding the right company, getting a job from that company and then changing job positions within that company in order to learn the business will not be as easy as it would have been if I could have found someone to help me with the appropriate knowledge I would need in order to kick-start the business on my own.

Any business you wanna take make sure you go for shadowing or what people call aprrentiship. There you'll learn the do's and don't of that business, you'll also know how best the business survive, your market size, target population, what time of the year the business thrive more.


I know you'll learn many things when you do this
All the best

My mom used to make soap when w were kids and combined it with her day job in a FG agency. She sold to her colleagues and people around. Very good soap, better than some of the stuffs we have around today.

Guess what killed the business? Debts.
She sold to people around and they refused to pay, capitalising on the familiarity to do nonsense.

Lalasticlala, pls move to the front page for viewers to benefit from.

Thanks. I will try to always remember this story.

How naïve you are in foresight. Polyethylene making can extend into large converting facilities that does complex packaging of cartons, roll films for multinational companies.. You should consider yourself lucky if you can raise several millions of dollars in the next few years to start one..

How naive? Alright, I concur. But at the bolded; I'm not a multimillionaire for now Sir.

Keep your capital in fixed deposit of 6 months, join the manufacturing company you want to learn and work there for free. Learn all you can, jump from role to role, befriend the manager and learn everything practically before starting out on your own. Do a little online research about young people into tissue production. From what I know about tissue production, you buy larger rolls then cut and package for market.

Goodluck.

Thanks too. But this strategy is not as easy as you make it seem.

Tissue paper is the cheapest to produce and the most profitable and easy to market.

Just water, pulp and mix!

Use Google and YouTube to search for how to produce tissue paper, don't rule it out. I once tried it when I was on sec school, have forgotten the whole process. But with internet, YouTube and google nowadays, u can find a way out easily.

Wish you the best, I love reading things like this.

Thanks

@op, it is going to be a very tough journey but, if you start and stay on, u will smile.

Production of any sort is no child's play in Nigeria considering unavailability of machines and unstable price of raw materials.

I would suggest you leave the tissue and try out soap production(laundry soap). Reason for asking you to go with laundry bar soap is, it is easy to market compare to bathing soap. Marketing bathing soap will require so much energy from you. You will equally need Nafdac certification to gain customers confidence, but the case is different with laundry soap.

If you are able to see someone who is willing to put you through, no matter the projection and research done, start very small. On no account should you put down 50% of your capital, you can start with maybe 10-15%. I'm suggesting this so that if things go wrong, you will still have something to fall back on.

There are so many information here that you can make use of. You can actually get a mentor here, if you are able to see the one that is not greedy, such will be of a great help to u as you will avoid so much waste and stress of having to try out so many things on your own.

Most importantly, whatever you choose, at the end, be prepared to market your product by yourself at this early stage so as to get direct feedback from your customers.

To maintain low production cost, make sure that you are involved personally in the buying of raw materials and don't contract them out. No big boy at this level.

I can say much about this production, but I'm extremely busy at the moment.

I appreciate your wise words Sir. Thank you. Someone actually contacted me that they will teach me how to produce the laundry soap at the cost of 10k if I can come to lagos for the training. I am still thinking about the offer though, because I stay in Benin city.

Marketing at the grassroot isn't going to be too difficult for me if I can produce something that I'm confident about the quality.

Business / Advice Needed On How To Start Small Scale Production by lexdino: 6:23pm On Apr 05, 2018
hello everyone. Please I need help on how to start a career in production.

I'm considering learning how to produce either Tissue paper or bathing soap but both considerations are subjective to change if I can get a better suggestion from someone with experience who is willing to assist me with proper knowledge of how the business works in terms of startup capital, day-to-day management and profitability because I just graduated uni and my available capital is limited.

At the moment, I have zero production experience in any of the two fields but I can learn very fast and I'm confident I can succeed in the production if I'm able to get a proper knowledge from someone with experience.

If you're into tissue paper production or the production of bathing soap, please help me with the knowledge of how to produce, in order for me to be able to produce something that is capable of being marketed as a brand.
