Lagos is saturated with cars. Please don't bring in any more cars - especially luxury cars.There might be some money in it now, but there is a lot of competition and I don't think the "boom" will last long - unless you are bringing commercial vehicles. |

komekn: Siena,
I am not all that with all the dynamics of setting up in Nigeria, i can however, recommend someone to help you look for premises if you so wish.
If you recall maybe two years ago I made this suggestion to you and I think ovievie. the Nigerian market defies all the business models we have in the west, I explained that in order to have my car a Ford Explorer fixed by Coscharis I had to pay a 100k registration fee ,in other words paying for the privilege to become a customer(MADNESS) but I had no choice. Consider my friends who had a Range and the other one who had an X5 paid substantially more than me.
That clearly is telling me there is a huge void in the market which you will definitely fill, in one of your posts you gave me the impression you had not been back for a considerable length of time please, please, please make a couple of visits before you do anything.
p.s. This is my third post on this topic, someone in their wisdom felt it wise to remove the first one it seems, i hope i am wrong. Sound advice, komekn.
P.S There's a robot on the site that sometimes removes "good" posts as well as "bad" ones. Perhaps, it erroneously removed your first two. |

Au contraire, I usually find that well-to-do Nigerians in Nigeria are the ones who are snobbish towards less wealthy Nigerians - even those abroad. |

Great post, Siena. I haven't got any automobile advice, but in Nigeria you will need to be slightly economical with details if you as much as suspect that they might be used against you. For example, disclosing your proposed company name here might tempt a misguided hopeful into registering it, with the intention of selling it back to you. Only part with information you're willing to let go of - Just my tuppence. |

Paulifendu: That is the dumbest idea ever, the basic things have not been done and the are talking about internet. How many University students have computers? The highest thing the Federal government can achieve is more yahoo yahoo boys.
Useless FG with no priority.
To the minister or who ever brought this idea, Screw yooooooou! When will Nigerians stop complaining? Nigerians is in as much need of good education as we are in need of good roads, electricity etc. Free internet in schools is a step towards providing students with educational resources which are available to their global counterparts. Yes, some people will abuse the priviledge but I have seen dedicated Nigerians and I know that Nigerians are capable of sucking out all the knowledge they want from the internet, and probably ending up being more knowledgeable than their global counterparts. Do you know how many Nigerians that have given up on education, and have self-trained themselves to a reasonable standard?
If students don't have computers, what's wrong in using the University computers ( I know there are excuses - they are old, there are queues etc) but they are still there. |

I'm actually quite interested in understanding the message behind Islam, however I don't understand the verses you have quoted. I simply asked whether your passion (as you seem to be obviously very passionate about Islam) comes from love for Allah, or hatred of christians. If it's both, I'll try and understand as long as you try and explain why. |

I don't claim expert knowledge of the Bible, but it surely doesn't say that they were separated. So why must we come to this conclusion, when there are other equally probable conclusions? Mine is a "what if". I'm not stating it as a fact. |

Christianity Etc › Re: Did Joseph Legally Separate From Mary After Jesus' Birth? by naijacutee(f): 6:38pm On Nov 15, 2009 |
alex0026: According to reported story in the bible,when joseph discovered that mary was with a child,he got a revelation that it was through the power of the holy spirit.
Subsequently,the bible was silent concerning the actions that joseph took later but events show that there was a secret legal separation between the two .
My reasons are as follows:
-Joseph was not present at the miraculous conversion of water into wine -joseph was not present at the scene of the crucifixion -joseph was not present on the pentecost day with other disciples What a narrow minded assumption. What if he had died? |

Maybe I've missed something here, but Abuzola I mean no offence. From your posts, you seem very passionate about your choice of religion which I respect, even though I do not hold it as truth. I've looked at this thread over, and over trying to find out the motive for the thread. Just one question - Are you driven by love for Allah or hatred of christians? It doesn't look like a third alternative is possible for the creation of this topic. |

proudly9ja: Nigerians are becoming lazier and lazier and with this comes the accompanying stupidity. Why do we Nigerians like worshipping people when he performs one trick or another?
Recently, Derren Brown correctly predicted the lottery numbers minutes before they were even picked live on television. The next morning, majority of viewers 'intelligently' critisized his methods and many went ahead to suggest possible ways of which he did this. If Brown was a Nigerian, he prolly would be a millionaire now after opening his 'church' with millions of followers!
Ild just like to know if it's because of our love for football that has brought this craze of expecting a man to bring us success?
How many 'men of God' did the Bible enjoin us to consult so that things will work out well for us?
My advise: Please spend more time preparing your team, and for divine intervention, read your Bible and move closer to God not joshua or anyone else for that matter.

Excellent advert, with photographic evidence both of the area and on paper. The scanned documents and photographs lend the advert some credibility, and thus I support it being on the front page. My only concern is that from the pictures, this area doesn't seem to be connected to the national electricity grid (I'm making that assumption based on the lack of any NEPA poles). Is there any chance of when in the future this might happen?

posakosa: You make me laugh. Someone who has monopolized almost all of the market----your stupidity knows no bounds. and YOU what exactly have you done ?
How can the average Nigeria affect change if capitalism is NOT a fair game ? Unfeathered capitalism is fair then we shall see how Dangote can survive but oligarchy is how he has come about his wealth. You call me stupid, I say thank you to that. I'm not the one with a chip on my shoulder in the corner of a hot, smelly cyber cafe crying and throwing tantrums over someone who is working his way up Forbes 100 list.
Monopoly cannot exist without an enexplored opportunity. To monopolize a particular market, you will have to - Identify a critical but unfulfilled need - Ensure that you can satisfy that need - Create barriers to entry, so that your time and efforts will not be thwarted by competitors. . . at least in the forseeable future. - With a bit of luck, you'll be a millionaire like Dangote.
You see, you insult me and I give you tips on how to succeed! How's that for an answer to what I've done so far? I'm not on this forum to boast about my achievements, but be rest assured - they are plentiful. I usually leave others to testify on my behalf. There's no point trying to square up shoulders with you. |

Yes, Mr. Smart Guy. Why are you here, crying about one person being responsible for the "workforce development" of 140 million people? Is that a sensible statement at all? Is Dangote the only business in Nigeria? The man spotted a gap in the market, and he positioned himself appropriately to optimise the opportunity that was presented to him. If you're not happy with his attained position in the market, then maybe it's time you came up with your own strategy. If not, then don't complain. All some Nigerians know how to do is talk talk talk and no action. Analyse politics, analyse football, analyse business, analyse 419. . . and yet do nothing. *Hiss* |

posakosa: no YOU are silly. Having one person become responsible for workforce development and growth in a country of 140 mil + people is MADNESS. Letting ONE man monopolize important parts of the economy is MADNESS. But hey you wouldn't understand though, your brain is stuck in ROT.  Did you try to offer the services he is offering, and he stopped you? |
Business › Re: Changing To A Business Career by naijacutee(mod): 5:47pm On Oct 27, 2009 |
I would recommend taking a small course which would help you gain a basic knowledge of business processes and how to go about starting up your own business. There are several business websites out there offering tips and advice on business processes, but I guess you need something more systmeatic and structured. To be honest, business is an art, more than a science. You can't learn everything from a book - You need to go out into the real world, make mistakes and learn from them. As a basic guide, I can recommend you to myownbusiness. org which is a charity initiative towards educating people on basic business skills. |

Rosabelle: My dear Nigerian men dont know what independent women look like. If you dont ask him for money for petty stuff like taxi pay and the oh-so-famous making your hair, he'd think youre a fool. Ive experienced it and the dude owes me 2000euros today. Stupid fool of a nigger. lol
I dont know how a man can meet a woman, see that she doesnt ask him for money and instead of being proud he doesnt have a beggar, he himself turns into a gold digger 
So even though Id advice her, like you want to, to pay her own fare, as it is more respectable, . . . .in the first place I dont think she should go there at all. The man should come look for her if she's that important to him.
Thats how we women will be doing independence there and we shortchange ourselves. A man ought to work for a woman. So dont encourage women (I didnt say you did, Im speaking hypothetically) to throw themselves at men in the name of indepence or self respect.
Besides many nigerian men cant function if their woman is not a pian in the ass. If you dont push him, he'd take you for granted. So she should push him. If he is broke, then he should come visit when he has money or he should borrow if Im important. I can even refund him. But he should make the move, not the woman. I understand what you mean, my sister but is "Afterall, A does it too" enough reason to change who you are? That guy that shortchanged you probably didn't even deserve you in the first place - That's not to say all Naija guys think the same way he does. . . Far from that, I think there are many decent guys out there who think differently. |

I'm a little surprised at some of the females here o. Aren't they supposed to be a team?. As he has explained that he is a little broke and cannot afford the trip, is it an abomination for the girl to pay for her own trip if she has the money? When the guy sees that she isn't selfish, or expecting him to do everything for her, don't you think that behaviour warrants respect? Na wa o? Or is money everything? |
