Business › Re: Powdered beer business idea - Please discuss by naijacutee(mod): 2:31pm On Feb 07, 2011
It actually sounds like a great idea - not just in Nigeria, but anywhere in the world. However, to find out if it is a viable idea, I think it is worth going back to your consumers. Why do people buy beer? Is it because of the taste? If so, will the taste of the powdered version measure up to the sought-after "beer taste"? How do you intend to measure this? Will you have blindfolded customer trial sessions?

- Also, what advantages are there in powdered beer, over "normal" beer? I think in this respect, it is good to look at things from a business perspective. Will companies who export beer find this useful in cutting down their costs/carbon footprints? (i.e saving space and exporting much more stock in the same amount of space)

- What sort of consumer are you targeting? Travellers? Students? Older beer drinkers? Breweries? How would this idea make their beer-drinking experience better?

I really think it's a good idea, especially from a business standpoint. However, if yor average beer consumer feels that the taste is inferior to their "regular", then your demand is out of the window. That is unless you have a niche market that this product appeals to particularly.
Adverts › Re: Buses Urgently Required for lease contracts by naijacutee(mod): 2:14pm On Feb 07, 2011
I think it would help potential business partners to know what sort of buses exactly you are looking for. Are you after nine-seater buses? Coaster buses? Molues? Also, what are the buses to be used for? Are they to be in use 3 hours a day, or the whole day? Certain days a week, or everyday?

@ Wallie. Thanks for the heads up! I'm actually a radiographer but I have a keen interest in technology for development. I know that I'm not the only one, and there are so many ideas out there that are stifled for lack of knowledge, and lack of funding.
I agree with you, and okaycee on our overdue need for patent reforms. I believe that well-publicized patent reforms, with an involvement in our schools and Universities could potentially change the nature of the game in Nigeria, and massively encourage innovation in Nigeria.

Do you know if it is possible to apply for a valid patent in a country where conditions are more favourable than in Nigeria? 
Christianity Etc › Re: Can An Unbeliever Pray To God by naijacutee(f): 10:40pm On Feb 03, 2011
It depends on what the unbeliever does not believe in. If he/she does not believe in God, but tries to pray to God, then they are not really an unbeliever. If they do not believe in Jesus' death and resurrection on the cross, but are praying to God to help them believe, then I don't see any reason why God won't answer that prayer.

That's a great product (Candle that burns for 7 hours). However, are there any safety measures in place to prevent fires from starting (seeing that you're targeting students who have a tendency to stay up late to study when there's no electricity).

Technology Market › Wholesale : Tv/dualsim/wifi Jsm C5000 Smartphones For Sale by naijacutee(op): 5:46pm On Feb 01, 2011


Some TV smartphones have become available, which I don't have time to sell individually so I'd like to clear them all.

Here are the specifications :-

* Quadband Unlocked SIM Free Mobile phone will work with all worldwide GSM networks - GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
* Fast WiFi connection utilising the industry standard 802.11 b/g
* Size : 113 x 55 x 13mm
* Bluetooth
* GPRS/WAP/WIFI/JAVA
* 2MP Camera (max size 1600 x 1200)

The TV works within the UK, but I haven't tested it in Nigeria yet to see if it works there, however, I see no reason why it shouldn't.

There are about 20 available, all brand new and boxed, in a mixture of black, white and red.

Wholesale price : N13,500 each (10+)
Retail price : N20,000

Good for her. Personally, I feel that most prisoners are in their situations because of choices they have made. How about fighting for the plight of those who don't even have the power to make a choice in the first place? But then again, a cause is a cause - better to stand up for something, than to remain indifferent.

triaophant:
naijacutie, sorry i did not intend to insult you. Business is a little to the right and a little to the left. That is to say a win win affair. We must surely bargain as Nigerians. We are still negotiating unless you want me to believe that Yours is Kingsway Supermarket where the price cannot be changed. You do not expect me to just pay your price without bargaining, neither do I expect you to accept my offer without considering your profit margin. For you to tell me that I should show you where I can buy designers fo 2,000 naira and you will buy from me is very insultive. I expected you to move down a bit, that was my request and you asked me to suggest the price and I suggested. So where did I go wrong. Anyway we can talk at my e-mail anosikeb@yahoo.com for more confidentiality, please.
Don't worry traio, I did not take offence at your pricing, and I didn't in turn expect you to take offence at my response to your request. My apologies if you feel insulted by me asking you to supply me if you had any at that price. I have sent you an e-mail.

A trendchecker for Twitter. Something that can identify similar hashtags and mentions, and group them according to their locations/originating ip addresses. Something like an Alexa.com, but for Twitter. This has potential to even be used as a news tool. One can search for tweets originating from a certain area, and piece a story together.

Hi traio,

Put it this way - If you could supply original designer perfumes at N2,000 each, I would buy them from you. At these prices, all you would get are copies/fakes (unless that's what you want to buy).

@ayosomething - I sent you an e-mail.
Business › Re: Home Business/start Up Business In Usa and abroad by naijacutee(mod): 6:48pm On Jan 26, 2011
I don't know where in the US you are, but the impression I get is that transportation is an issue, thus most people should own a car.

How about starting up a taxi business? In the current economic climate, I'm sure there are a lot of people who own cars, but who have no jobs. Could you start up a taxi company signing up cabbies ( also checking what the legal requirements are, and helping your potential cabbies fulfill them).

Potential cabbies pay a monthly registration fee to you, and you as an office/company can find them work. They are self-employed, so they sort out their own taxes - no tax headache on your part outside your own income.

Your company fixes prices on destinations and take a percentage of all their income. Your booking office books their journeys for them, so there is no 'ojoro' there.

All you need is a well-lit office near a train station (where you are sure trains run at night) = Customers Galore!
Business › Re: Outsourcing by naijacutee(mod): 6:28pm On Jan 25, 2011
I guess it depends on what exactly you are looking to outsource. It's common knowledge that for anything IT based, India is the place to go. For anything that requires manufacturing manpower, China is the place to go. Generally, there is always someone, somewhere who is available to do that thing which you need done - the question is how do you get that available person? If you're in Nigeria, I think the freelance section of might be of some help to you, or even Nairalist/Nairaland's job sections.

@ frosbel. I agree with you 100%, but aren't we missing the whole point here? It's not about the action - afterall, many people give first fruits because they want their pastors to look at them as "big-man-who-is-also-righteous"

Christianity Etc › Re: How To Present Your First Fruits by naijacutee(f): 3:07pm On Jan 16, 2011
I think you might the missing the point here. We are Christians (followers of Christs teachings), not 1st century Jews. I think I understand the point you are trying to make though, but at the end of the day, what does Christ teach about giving?

These instructions were for the Arameans who were taken into capitivity in Egypt, and subsequently rescued by God and led to what we know as Israel. These people were not christians, as Jesus Christ had not yet come in their time. Thus, they were under a different covenant to us, hence the way they worshipped God with their wealth would differ from the way we do the same. For example, the way a man in the city would have communicated with his fiancee in the village in 1959 (i.e message, letters) would be different from the way he would do the same thing today - simply because communication has improved since 1959.

I think Luke summarises Jesus' teachings on money quite well -


Luke 16:10“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. 11 So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?

Let us not put new wine in old wine skins.
Business › Re: Importing Drugs From India by naijacutee(mod): 3:19pm On Jan 15, 2011
You're very welcome, Suhaibu.

That's also a good idea as well, but you have to remember that there is a lot of competition in this area (as there are less restrictions). It's likely, and probably easier for whatever you're selling to be sent to Lagos first, so it would be a good idea to get someone in Lagos or a company that can handle your logistics properly. Where are you located?

I think that the most important thing to do before you import anything is to make sure that you have customers waiting on the ground first. Many make the mistake of importing what they think will sell first, and then they are tied down with the goods. Find out what people are hungry to get and what people need. For example, you can go to supermarkets, shops and see what their customers always ask for and which they don't stock. Look through the "Wanted Ads" on Nairaland and see what people want. Speak to businesses, as they are likely to return your money in bulk if yu don't have the resources to sell your goods individually for more profit.

Business › Re: Importing Drugs From India by naijacutee(mod): 1:26pm On Jan 15, 2011
Hi Shuaibu, I think that you will find Item 11 on the Import Prohibition list very useful. See : http://www.customs.gov.ng/ProhibitionList/import.php

Also, as with every business, you have to establish that there is demand for the drugs you are importing which fall outside the list. The medicines you are thinking of importing might already be in the country - and even cost cheaper. If they are not already in the country, why is this? Is there demand for them, or are there better, local alternatives? You don't want to end up with goods you *though* will move, but in reality are useless.

Also, not need to think about getting NAFDAC certification before you do anything because any drug you attempt to sell without NAFDAC certification is deemed illegal, even before you open your mouth. It might be worth looking at NAFDAC's list of blacklisted companies also as many of them are Indian pharmaceutical companies : http://www.nafdacnigeria.org/blacklisted.html

Here are instructions on how to get NAFDAC certification for your drugs : http://www.nafdacnigeria.org/drugs.html

All the best

Hiya, I can give you one free ad slot in the next edition of The Canary paper, which is distributed throughout Lagos for free, through newspaper vendors. Feel free to contact me if you want to take this offer up. 
Business To Business › Re: Brand New Wholesale Designer Perfumes From Uk : Clearance (+ Pics) by naijacutee(mod): 9:58am On Jan 14, 2011
Ok, so what price did you have in mind? I think that pricing designer perfumes at N3,300 each is reasonable as you will not sell anything in that package below cost price. Also, there are gift sets included which you can make a significant amount of money from (Take the CK Obsession gift set and the Thierry Mugler giftset for instance). These two retailed for £40 each here at the time of listing.
Business To Business › Re: Brand New Wholesale Designer Perfumes From Uk : Clearance (+ Pics) by naijacutee(mod): 7:33pm On Jan 13, 2011
Hi traiophant,

Sorry but these sets have been long sold. (They were listed last April). However, I can get you similar sets if you're still interested. 3 sets would contain about 60 fragrances or thereabouts and I can offer these at N200,000 - delivery to Lagos included in the price. As you can see in my previous adverts that these aren't low-end or fake fragrances. They will include designer scents from names like Police, Calvin Klein, Davidoff, Kenneth Cole, Nino Cerutti, Elizabeth Arden and more. Please send me an e-mail at asterix8701@hotmail.com so that we can work something out.
