I was talking to one 'Entrepreneur' on Nairaland bashing Nigerian youths , saying that they don't want to start their o connections own business.

I argued with him that he had 92k In his bank accounts and connections from his previous Job. He argued with me.

Look at OP now. She wants to start a business but cannot afford the 'setup' fee.

MrMcjay maybe you can help her with startup funds.

LOL. Raayah, you had to drag me here? Okay.

OP, I may not have the funds to give you, but I have an idea or two you can pick.

The world of entrepreneurship is cold, hostile and gruelling but extremely rewarding especially in Nigeria.

If you do not have the funds for your short code business, you may undertake a less capital intensive venture but still in the same field (like bulk SMS for example) and employ the experience and industry contact to your advantage.

In the alternative, you can also leverage on the resources of those around you to defray the expenses of your business.

For example, approach schools or churches in your area and offer to deploy your services for their outfits upon payment of a particular sum.
Upon subscription, their members would receive daily alerts of information or prophecies delivered to their mobiles.
Show the Church that they stand to gain revenue as well as pay off the initial costs after some time of continued usage.
Go to the school and do the same thing. let the school add it to the bills prepaid by each student per term. Send announcements and notices to parents at no cost upon subscription whereas the school picks the bills.

Sorry for the long post.

Cheers.

[quote author=raayah post=35012291][/quote]My bad, was 500k

The most important thing is the mindset. Once that is in order, the thought process would be properly aligned and things would take shape.

In that same book the OP read, Robert wrote of what he called OPM (Other People's Money) It is one of the examples of 'leverage'.
Ever heard of 'sales and return'?

@raayah
They can't borrow money to start up something, but they can borrow money to attend interviews?

Dangote started with a loan of about 10k from his uncle, he is a trillionaire today. Do you want to tell me that there weren't some people with 10k as at when Dangote didn't have that amount of money? Where are they today?

Remember; Successful people have results to show and failures have excuses.

OP, you need to explain this.

It was opened before yours by the poster you insulted and the price is cheaper with the same pics.

Thanks.

And who says every guy must go down on their knees when proposing?. Many couples marry everyday without even proposing. Has heaven fall?

Abi o!

Which kind of proposal pass "Baby, I'm pregnant"?

ECOTERRORS:
ATiku, the slayer of tinubu

Tinubu, the slayer of Jonathan, saTANists and TANoids.

Depending on your location, you can open a drycleaning and laundry outfit.

Also, You may buy tricycles and give them out on hire purchase.

You can lease a piece of land and open a car wash, barbing salon, laundry and a cool spot all on the land.

Finally, you can buy a land, get your documents and watch it appreciate in value.

Dandy77:
I am a nigerian based in Europe for over 15 Years,i will like to find out from you wise guys whats the best type of business to invest in with a 3M Naira Capital.i visit lagos three to four times a year
.what kind of business do you guys advise anyone to do (Need advise on business that require Less Supervsion with with Good returns)


Thanks Guys

GOD bless you all

OP, go and get a piece of land to buy in your name. Get a lawyer to prepare the documents in your name and take your documents with you when traveling.

Tip one of these boys living around the land to act as your eyes and ears and pay unscheduled visits when u are in Nigeria.

In the alternative, build a students hostel around Ogun state for any of the higher institutions there. It is a passive source of guaranteed income.

dondo83:
would have loved this if it was in abuja

Why don't you launch yours in Abuja?

barcanista:
Chai Chai Chai.... And the worse is that there is no transparency in these spending. This madness have been going on since 1999. Buhari must run a transparent administration




PS: Virtually all 36 States also run secret system . Ask LASG to disclose details of Spending for instance...

Who appointed the NSA, was it Buhari? Wasn't it the jester who dresses like a magician?

If you had any self-respect, your crooked fingers of accusations would point to Jonathan who was head of the scandalously corrupt gang.

So much was spent on security in Jonathan's tenure and you still had to run around online begging for security.

Chuksgeo:
It seems your education is a waste. Now tell me which is better fighting both pipe line vandalism and militancy or only fighting vandalism. What solution would you proffer, in this age, you should know that not even the military can do the job. technology should also be employed. Spilling of blood is more costly than pursuing vandals.

Mr president should better have a good plan.

Calm down. I won't retaliate your bad manners. Ask someone with a higher IQ than yours to read my post and explain it to you.

I don't see the sense in using ex militants to secure pipelines.

Firstly, When the militants were overtly bursting pipelines prior to the amnesty program, the quantity of oil stolen is the same as this time that they are guarding it. Goodluck's proverb of the goat and yam comes to mind.

Secondly, it is illegal for the government to commission murderers, thieves, criminals and felons to do the duty of security agencies. In saner climes, this is an impeachable offence.

Furthermore, it doesn't make economic sense for the government to pay these dumb thugs. Before payment, 400k barrels were being stolen. Now that security has been contracted to them, more than 400k is being stolen. Let us disengage the criminals and use the money to buy armor-piercing bullets for the military.

Let them go near d pipelines and the soldiers would show them 'change'.

OrlandoOwoh:
Iya awe? I love listening to Femi Falana. He hardly reads from a prepared speech when delivering a lecture.

Yeah. Speeches replete with statistics and bodily gesticulations. You wouldn't want him to end the speech. Very captivating speaker I tell you.

henribj:
you have any idea where one can locate such tailors in Lagos?

No, I don't. Lagos is basically for sales, production is in the East.

A lot of them are made in the east particularly Aba and Onitsha.

OrlandoOwoh:
I was in Conference Centre in 2013 during the lectures organized to mark the retirement of Dr. Dipo Fashina (Jingo) from the Department of Philosophy. Femi Falana was the guest of honour.

Wow! That's cool. In 2012, we tried to bring him back for a lecture in honor of an eminent lawyer but Alhaja DSA scuttled it. We had to get another guest speaker before it could hold.

OrlandoOwoh:
Some years ago, during the lunching of the Gani Fawehinmi Library in OAU, Ile-Ife, the Special Guest of Honour, Femi Falana made a remark. He said, "quote me for what I'm going to say, Babangida killed Dele Giwa."

I remember that day at Oduduwa Hall. That day, when Falana gave statistics of what the Federal government and its arms had stolen, my mouth went dry. I was close enough to see the VC go white as if he had seen a ghost. Dude was scared stiff!

After that day, Falana wasn't allowed to give speeches on campus. If he was to feature in any program, the DSA would withdraw the approval of such program.

The groom is dressed like a pallbearer.

OP, it took more than a year for your brain to boot fast enough to come up with this? You are a special case. Special but not gifted.

fyneguy:
Magodo Isheri or CMD?

OP, kindly answer this question.

MASTERCC:
PLS for a yearly Tennant, how many months QUIT NOTICE suppose to serve that person legally. Am a Tennant was served 3months notice by my landlord lawyer

If in Lagos, you are to receive minimum of 6 months notice. As it stands, the notice you were served is invalid.

However, if the landlord did you no wrong and is a reasonable person, you can discuss with him to find a way of amicable resolution.

Udiboy:
That's my reason for this post.
How to go about it.
He needs to vomit my money or provide the car.
I tried calling him yday too, he didn't pick up.
I never see this kind Wahala b4 o


Then at this point you can do whatever yoy want with him.


Don't we have E-Thugs on Nland ni?

This guy should be properly handled biko.

If you don't treat his fuckup now, someone else will.

Kindly send me a PM. I have contacts you may be interested in to cure his madness. I can't post them here for security reasons.

The agent sees that you are anxious to move in and he wants to use that to his advantage. Tell him to refund your money immediately as you have gotten a better apartment.

Also, go to that area and ask the tenants or people living near d house for the landlord's phone number. it may turn out that you have been speaking to an impostor.

The agent wants to give you a derelict house which ypu would have no choice than to take since your present rent has expired. The present house is merely a facade. He has done that to a lot of people.

Take drastic steps ASAP.

Allocation isn't the problem. Tell them to show you the title document they have over the land. Also tell them to show you the document they used to buy from the original Omonile family which should be a Deed of Assignment.

This prevents you from long stories later.

OP, you are wrong in some of your positions. For one, Nigeria's Criminal Code as well as the Penal Code empowers private individuals (which includes security guards) to make arrests.

You are trying bring the American situation here, but you forget that even in the US, there are different legal systems for different states. Nigeria is a different kettle of fish entirely.

Colourful!!!

Sahara reporters na News station ....4 whic Country....

No, Sahara Reporters no be news station, na Church dem be.

oloriooko:
Learnt Amosun is a very close friend to PMB in the south west. PMB prefers the company of Amosun to any other person whenever he visits the SW.
Congrats and wish you a successful and progressive tenure.

They were both in ANPP in 2007 with SIA contesting as Gov and GMB as President. Both lost the elections and ended up in court. I guess the adversity they faced brought them together.

LuvSwollenPussy:
Has any non deeperlife member ever been clueful and competent before?..a church that believes only in its members would see nothing good in others

My boss is one of them and he's the most clueless, competentless, shameless, understandingless, helpless, generousless and considerateless human being

I'm not suprised. That's what happens when u regard doctrines than d creator of doctrines.

You think your problems are the Church, its Doctrines, its members, and finally your boss?

From your post, it's easy to decipher your problem. You need a mirror to do this, not a miracle.

^^ This is not needed.
