In recent times, the bleaching industry in Nigeria as sanned into a huge money making business, with producers and end-users labelling it various names such as toning, lightening, brightening etc. All in the quest of achieving a flawless skin which only seems to come in a fair complexion, women and men alike spend thousands of naira to transform from their normal skin into what could only be described as an embalmed corpse. The ever increasing need for these creams, soaps, serums and beauty products only make the industry a highly untapped one. Here are my tips on how to start your own bleaching business cream in Nigeria. 1. BLEACH YOURSELF. The best type of advert is a walking advert: the kind where people can see without stressing yourself to convince them. A brown teeth is not used for close up toothpaste advert so work on your skin first. Don't worry, there are many bleaching creams out there to do the magic, you just need money and patience. 2. MIX LIKE MAD! Did you really think these so-called bleaching experts have a laboratory where they create and test their creams? Well, think again. It's all about robbing Peter to pay Paul. Empty the contents of Carowhite and put in a different container altogether. There you have it, you just have created your own bleaching cream. 3. HAVE A BRAND. You want to make name for yourself so you have to focus on creating a name that sells. A name that contains whiten, lighten, brighten, shining, clear, snow white etc. is perfect. 4. YOU ARE A DERMATOLOGIST. Wether or not you have ever attended a school or a skin therapy seminar for that matter, you are a dermatologist. People will feel safe that they're dealing with a professional so claim to be one. Don't bother too much, no one would care to ask for your certificate. 5. MAKE PROMISES. Don't ask me why but a cream that promises to 'make you white in 7 days will definitely sell more than the one that promises to 'make you white in 70 days.' Endeavour to make promises, that's how you sell. 6. BE PRICEY. I once heard a girl boast of how she spends N30, 000 on a body cream. She may have N3, 000 in her bank account but it doesn't matter. Nigerians are proud to buy expensive things, it makes us proud. It's just in our DNA. Rather than sell a small bottle of cream for N2, 000 fix it for N25, 000. The more expensive it is, the easier they'd fall for it. 7. PACKAGE, PACKAGE! Pure water is N10 and Eva water is N100. The difference? You buy the water for N10 and the bottle for N90. Make sure you get good packaging. You can go to Aba or Onitsha and have your creams packaged in excellent looking containers. 8. SHOW RESULTS. You need to prove your products are working. Go to the internet and download before and after pictures of people who already bleached successfully and claim it as yours. Better still, have your friend sit and take a picture in dark lighting and another in a well lighted place; this would be great to show as results. Better still, download Camera360 and edit your friend and family photos to extremely bright. 9. GO NATURAL As a rule, you must never tell users what ingredients are used in the production of products. It doesnt matter if hydroquinone or other harmful substances are present, you must claim to use 100% natural substances. I promise you, you will succeed. As a Delta State born, Port-Harcourt based self-acclaimed bleaching expert would say: Beauty must be achieved.

shadowgwalker:Thanks a lot. About sales of product: girls most times buy without paying thereby ruining a business. I don't have the strength to drag debts. |
HitlerGaddafi:Thanks. I'm not interested though. Have a nice day. |
yvelch:Thanks a lot. Have a blessed day. |
lomprico:Wow! You do? She's indeed smart, that's why I drew close to her. |
At 11pm last night, I was awoken from sleep when I heard footsteps at the window. There is a curfew at 7pm and at that late hour, it is expected that people are in their various houses. This is not the fist time robbers have attempted to break into my house but this was intense. I quietly got up from the sitting room floor I was laying on and moved to the bedroom to join my grandmother and baby cousin on the bed. Gradually, the footsteps heightened and from the room window I could see men standing. My heart sank and I suddenly, I had a hard time breathing. My grandma tried to calm me down and it seemed to worsen. I wasn't wearing any cloths and I usually sleep and thought of getting something to put on. These robbers sometimes rape girls and it doesn't help to be naked in the first place. That would cause some noise so I decided to forego the thought. They started to spread out. A number of them moved the front and some went far out to the background. The ones at our window kept talking in whispers. I really couldn't fathom what they were saying as my heart was racing faster than I could ever imagine and suddenly I heard these words 'pass me my gun.' I think I died! Immediately I turned into a prayer warrior, mumbling incoherently in whatever tongues I could speak. I asked God to forgive my sins, I thought of hiding under the bed or inside my grandmother's wardrobe. But what about her and my cousin of 4years? I tapped grandma to tell her what I just heard and she assured me to keep calm, my cousin on the other hand was very much asleep. I instantly wished I could turn into a child and be unaware of what was going on in my surrounding. Taking a pillow I covered my head and put a fingerin each ear. Their voices grew louder and just then, a dog started to bark. I have always hated that dog (and all dogs generally), but I think it helped us.It barked violently from a distance and seized a bit. Then resumed, this time even more and came towards our window, running and barking. I could hear the footsteps of the thieves fading as the dog got near and soon after, there was a heavy downpour; the kind that shook the place. They went to other people's Windows and probably other compounds.The rate of robbery in some parts of Rivers State is becoming alarming. Needless to say, I am not sleeping at home tonight. Should my heart keep skipping this way, I may have hypertension before 20. |
Hello House, I hope you all are doing great. Please I would like to start up a business with a capital of N50,000 - N100,000. I am in my second year in the University and would like to have something to make me independent. I am learning how to spend wisely and want a business to generate profit rather than spend on irrelevant things. Please help a Sister. |

Oga/Madam calm down. You sound so bitter lol. Are we fighting? Why is everyone getting so worked up? If I drink from a stream, I care less if the price of bottled water goes up. So also, atheists should not bother about other people's 'gods'... Except of course, the very issue turns them on. fearlesschicken: |
I first learnt of the word 'Atheist' on Nairaland and was surprised to discover there are people who don't actually believe in the existence of a Supreme Being. I simply was surprised that's all, not angered, hateful or whatever extreme feelings there could be. Over time I have come to see Atheists as (seemingly) intelligent people but time and again I get blown away. Here are 8 questions I want to ask Atheists on Nairaland: 1. WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THE RELIGION SECTION? Most of the posts in the Religion Section are made by Atheists and I start to wonder why they care so much about something that doesn't exist, Isn't that a huge irony? 2. THEY ASK SILLY QUESTIONS. There is a proverb; he who asks questions can not get lost. Sincerely though, some of these questions can make you lost and even make you doubt the sanity of these Atheist posters. Somebody will just wake up one morning and ask; 'Who is God? Where is God? Why is the sky blue? If you ask me, na who I go ask? 3. ATHEISTS DON'T ASK QUESTIONS. If you're trying to answer an Atheist's questions, forget it. A question is asked by someone whose heart is receptive to answers and not someone who already has an answer to your question, only to ask another question. 4. WHY DO ATHEISTS SPELL GOD AS 'god'? This is even a forgotten case. I may not be a Muslim but would never spell Allah as a.l.lah. I may not be a traditionalist but will never spell Sango as sango. I wouldn't even spell an Atheist as atheist. Common sense people! 5. WHY ARE YOU OBSESSED WITH CHRISTIANITY? Seriously, is Christianity the only religion in the world? So you left Christianity and you feel happy and free. I'm happy for you. Now, can we all move on like the world doesn't revolve around you? 6. SAVED THE WORLD YET? Atheists go about crying 'foul, foul' whenever Religion is mentioned. They claim it is the cause of farmine, fuel scarcity, unemployment rate etc. So now you're non-religious, saved the world yet? 7. STOP PREACHING. If a Muslim preaches, its alright. If a Buddhist does, its fine. If Amadioha's priest even preaches to me, it's understandable. They are trying to gather members, but when I see Atheists preaching (or is it trying to convince people) to believe in nothing, what really is your aim? 8. CAN YOU JUST BE YOURSELF? Not everyone is amazed or even concerned about your non-religious affilliation. If Ruth likes she can fast for 40 days. If Amina likes, she can wear an Hijab that is as long as Lagos to Sokoto. If Anwuli likes, she can pour ogogoro on that tree every morning. If you like, say our 'skydaddy' is a figment of our imagination. Everyone has their path. So can you kndly be yourself? |
