Oh no! I have just booked two tickets with them, and I hate flying plus the complications associated with it! Does anyone know roughly if it is possible at all to travel to Nigeria from the UK by ferry, and roughly how many days this will take? ![]() |
It is very impressive that you are thinking on your feet and not waiting for jobs to fall from heaven, and taking the bull by the horns. I cannot offer you a loan, but I would like to know what transport route you are thinking of serving. I'm starting up something in the future, where I will need to contract out regular transportation of some items through a small business like yours. My address is in my profile - please leave me your contact details, and I will like to keep in touch after you start the venture. I wish you all the best. |
This question has been slaughtered here : https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-251915.0.html |
If you will not be around for a while, I will not advice you to invest in any business which you will designate the managment to someone else, because in 95% of cases, someone will be using your profits to fund a lavish lifestyle. My advice is to invest in property - preferably in Abuja, seeing how fast the place is growing. It will appreciate faster than any stock or bond in Nigeria. For the period you're available (If you are at all), you can buy a piece of land and develop it at least up to window level, fence and gate it. It will cost you a lot, but these will increase the value of the plot/s whatever you decide to do in the future. You can either rent it out and collect your rent payments in advance when you're around, or just let the land appreciate in value. Personally, I will recommend looking for land in areas in Abuja which are within commutable distance of the law school or commercial areas. There are good prospects for any property you acquire around this area, as there is potential to cheaply build one-bedroom self contained hostels for students or flats for office workers. The fact that rent is payable in advance means that you can be anywhere in the world you want, and can facilitate your business when you are around. The only problem is that you will need to be around initially to oversee the building etc, as these guys will bleed you dry if they know you are away. As a last resort, you can hand this over to a trusted person who has all the contacts, links in the area and can manage the project for you. This however is hard to find. |
You haven't made it clear why anyone would want to meet you. There are many people out there (myself included) who can also turn N15m into N95m in three years! |
The list is on the Nigeria's Customs website : http://www.customs.gov.ng/ProhibitionList/import.php |
The company I use is Popfax - www.popfax.com and yes, you can also receive incoming faxes through them for an additional fee. |
Well done, op for seeing the potential in this area that so many of our graduates look down on. Obviously, ayodele123 has proved that he knows what he is talking about. Since he is in the business, I think he would be the best person for you to go tofor guidance, not people selling pdfs that they have bought from other people. It is good that you have saved up so far, and you recognise your limitations - maybe you can work out a consultancy deal with ayodele - i.e you work for him for a month or two in order to gain experience before you set off on your own? Or maybe he's willing to advise you on how best to start small profitably, and you can pay him later? However you choose to go about it, I wish you all the best. |
Hmm. The way people use and abuse this Bible ehn. . . |
Bastage:I think you assume too much. There is nothing to suggest that jewish_girl is actually a Jew, in the same way that there is nothing to suggest that a lot of people who called themselves "Christian" are actually Christians (followers of Christ) in deed. |
[quote author=Rhino.3dm link=topic=492789.msg6529945#msg6529945 date=1281178910]@ naijacutee. Am very intrested in this topic if you care to know. Dont try to confuse people with your dogma, if your source is a book in the library, then qoute the name, authurs name, page or whatever, Pls. Dnt derailed this thread,[/quote]Hi Rhino. I'm not trying to confuse anyone. All I am saying applies for Christianity as well as for other religions, or non-religions : Investigate the evidence first before you begin to proclaim your message. That's all. I'm just advising jewish_girl not to accept everything just because someone on tv said it. Also, I did quote my sources in my earlier post. naijacutee: |
If you do care to know, then I'm afraid you have it wrong about the Bible. The Bible was not sent by God. I'm not sure God operated a postal service back in the day. The Bible was inspired by God. This means that it was written under divine guidance. Let me explain :- It is a collection of 66 books, from different parts of the world, in different languages (Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic), by different authors, across different timelines over about 1600 years, pointing to the same event/person. How can these books, in these places, over such a long period of time be orchestrated to point to one event? The Bible itself answers this question by telling us that it is the divine word of God.

Intellectual laziness at its finest. While looking for something to confirm what you already believe, you turn to a fictitious movie with an agenda for "confirmation". It is surprising the lengths that people will go to join the anti-Christian bandwagon for whatever reason. Ok, so what do the history books say about Horus? (Just to remind you that Horus is a figure of Ancient Egyptian mythology, hence these are popular myths) Conception : Horus was born to Iris (mother), after Osiris (Father) had been murdered by Seth, his uncle. Thus his father was Osiris, not Seb. And his mother was Iris, not Meri. Let's not go into this but there are so many myths surrounding the impregnation of Isis including sleeping with Osiris just before he died, and Osiris being tricked into a coffin, sent to the Nile and dismembered except for his privates which Isis used. Again, I cannot vouch for the veracity of any of these texts - they are myths and subject to change. Birthplace: I cannot find anything about where he was born, but there are plenty of articles suggesting that he was hidden in the marshes as a baby from his uncle Seth, who wanted him dead. Stars: There is no evidence of being heralded by any star in any of the texts I have looked at. Please if you find some credible evidence, could you share it? Method of death: There is no evidence anywhere to suggest that Horus was crucified. Crucifixion was purely a Roman thing - it was a method for the execution of criminals in Ancient Rome, and there is no evidence to suggest that this was an ancient Egyptian practice. (Again, it you find any evidence, please share - technology has made it easier for us). If anything, my thoughts are as follows:- - Ancient Egypt had a practice of preserving their important dead through mummification. - Thus, if Horus (if he existed) was a revered and important person, why would he have been crucified? Crucification is a humiliatig death ritual performed in front of an audience. - Also, if he was somehow, in some way crucified, as an ancient, important, egyptian, would he have been mummified as well? So why wasn't he? These are two complete things in two totally different parts of the world. It's like saying Bill Clinton used to consult a babalawo in the morning before going to the office. They do not match, there are different cultures and different practises, and no reason to believe or suggest this. (Unless one has an agenda, that is). Accompanied by : ? Thieves? Again, no evidence to suggest this. My source : (I got this from a library so cannot provide a link to it here, I'm afraid but here are the publication details) Publication : Ancient Egypt Magazine April/May 2009 edition Article : PER MESUT : Horus Son if Iris Pages 52 - 53 Also see this website (It's not my religion, but they make a lot of sense) : http://www.bringyou.to/apologetics/HORUS.htm And you can also check out the Coffin texts of ancient Egypt. |
Good for her. |
Be careful. It seems it is easier to fall for a scam in this line of business, than to find a reputable dealer. On the top of this board are some persistent scammers who should be avoided, should any of them contact you privately. There are some good, helpful threads on this here : https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-304334.0.html |
The website you are advertising is in a different language! We have no clue about your product. Why should we buy it? |
How much? I'm in London too. |
Moved to Meet up zone |
It is illegal and fraudulent to promote ingenuine products anywhere - online or offline. People feel that they can get away with fraud if not dealing face-to-face, this is why face-to-face transactions are always better, especially with people you don't know. |

I know someone in Lagos who currently has wholesale quantities of authentic La Senza ladies lingerie from the UK. (www.lasenza.co.uk). I can put you in touch with her if you want, my email address is in my profile. |
Wow. . . Congratulations!! You must be the happiest mum-to-be in the world! I wish you and your family all the best for the future. |
If all else fails, (which I hope it doesn't), one of the only (legal) ways of debt cancellation which I know of is filing for bankruptcy. When a person is declared bankrupt by the court, all their debts are wiped off and they have to start on a clean financial slate. Otherwise, I think they would need to find other ways of coming up with the money. When the young chaps were going into the business partnership, did they have a back-up plan, or an exit strategy? If they did, this is the time to pull the trick out of the bag. Can they sell the failing business to an existing business which needs to expand into that area or something? |
I can bet you $6,500 that it is a scam. Why? Because if it was real, and he had $6500 in his pocket, he would not have introduced it to you! |
VINDYLOMO:I'm sorry, I have no idea and I am not endorsing that product in particular. I was just trying to show an example of blood pressure monitors the patient can use. |
I thought contracts were made availabe to businesses by reason of them having proved that they had the necessary connections, experience and know-how to carry out the projects involved? How do people who have no clue go and bid, not only bid, but win contracts? What happens when they don't deliver, or when they deliver poor quality service? |
[quote author=oyinda. link=topic=486638.msg6461594#msg6461594 date=1280268045]please don't talk like that. there are more Nigerian millionaires even now. Just that TIME magazine is less receptive to Nigeria and is more likely to publish the present millionaires as crooks (not saying there's no truth in that) just know that all journalism is biased. there is nothing glorious about that article. the last paragraph sums it up (US market interests, Nigerian failed hopes etc) and trust me, i can dig up another 1960s TIMES article that portrays Nigerians as barbarians and bush people.[/quote]Yes, there are definitely more Nigerian millionaires now; but what I belive the poster is trying to bring out is the fact that the featured millionaires made by money by exploring "niche" narkets, not following the oil bandwagon. Thus, we don't need to look only upon the oil. |
