Do you really need a book, written by someone who is looking for money, just as you are - to tell you what "business" to do? If they are so lucrative, why aren't the book-sellers doing it? 1 Like |

There are plenty of business opportunities in Nigeria. All the problems we all are all to familiar with, and complain so often about, are business opportunities in disguise. The fact that you have lived outside of Nigeria give you the exposure to live and experience how this are and how things could be. Put on your problem solving cap and figure out how you could make money out of the epilileptic power supply, bad roads, dishonesty, traffic jams, unemployment levels etc. Remember that "very good opportunity" would have been taken up by the first person who spotted it and believed in it enough. |

In addition to the points you guys have highlighted, I think that banks unwillingness to lend people money is quite justified. Imagine you were a had a lot of money, and someone asked you for money to start a business, without any proof that it was going to succeed. Would you be willing to risk your hard-earned cash for a venture that has no track record? Wouldn't you be more willing to lend to someone who can prove that they will deliver - And how can one prove this except by believing themselves enough to start up with the little that the have, and showing that it does in fact, work. |

I guess this would be a good business if one can get a steady flow of customers i.e, as soon as the items are returned, there is another customer waiting to rent them. Also, I can see an opportunity in renting out other kinds of equipment to small businesses such as - tools, carpet cleaners, generators, waste disposal bins for big events etc. Or generally anything that most people don't rent out, but which you can provide. |

Thanks for clearing up the matter, Ari. I do apologise for insinuating that you were being fraudulent. However, the initial post did not carry enough justification for the price and terms which immediately began to ring bells. I take my assumptions back, and I will withdraw my comments on the other thread. I may also become your customer :-) |

Na wa o. As long as you're not an alcohlic, what's the problem? So if you two go together to a restaurant or something, you're not allowed to order wine etc? I see nothing wrong with beer as long as the 'drinker' is not dependent on it. Personally, I wouldn't drink beer, as it's not very lady-like in my opinion. I'd rather go for something like Baileys or wine. |

If only we can channel their energies into starting our own ventures, instead of depending on white-collar jobs, we will save so much of the wasted energy otherwise spent in job-hunting for jobs in which we have little security. . . |

custodian:After driving the tokunbo car from the south to the North for 9-12 hours, would it's value not depreciate? If you hire a truck to convey it down, would the transportation costs not defeat the purpose? I don't think cars are a good investment - especially for someone who is not going into it on a large scale. |

Don't rely on hearsay. Call the WAEC office yourself and ask them if they can re-issue your WAEC certficate. They should be able to - for a fee. Their numbers (as stated on the website) are : (01) 827990, (01) 3425128 -129. I wish you all the best! |
| Literature › Re: Short Story Contest: Tuneh Won by naijacutee(f): 9:18pm On Aug 17, 2008 |
lol. You guys crack me up - I actually have tears streaming down my eyes! Look at people complaining that N25,000 is too small as if it is a business contract! Look at people asking for more money when their "magnificent stories" may very well be worthless. Look at people calling someone a scammer for giving them an avenue to showcase their talents. Look at people placing absurd values on their (probably) underdeveloped creative writing skills. Yet, the same people after seeing good job adverts asking for 5 years experience wonder where they should get the experience from. Don't you know that in life, things don't happen by magic? To get to the top of the ladder, you have to start climbing from the bottom. This might require you to take up poorly paid jobs - simply for the experience (as long as it's putting food on the table, and a roof over your head). Sometimes, you may even have to work for free, in the real world! It's this "easy money now" mentality that makes a good portion of our young, able citizens sit at cyber cafes and generate badly typed "You-have-won-an-award" letters. Sorry for the mini-preach, I do not expect to change your mentality in one post! Sorry about the digression. Please keep writing. |
| Literature › Re: Contribute To Book: 'Building A Successful Business Under Harsh Conditions' by naijacutee(f): 8:45pm On Aug 17, 2008 |
After thinking about this in detail, what about the copywright issues involved in posting excerpts of a book on an online forum before publication? How do you stop people from copying/pasting content and distributing the book for nothing before it actually sees the light of day? My suggestion would be to open a Google Docs account for this purpose and send interested participants/writers the username and password upon submission of their first entry. |
| Business › Re: How To Start Football Viewing Center by naijacutee(mod): 12:13pm On Aug 17, 2008 |
Go to football viewing centres as a customer, and take note of what services they provide and what they have. This will give you a rough idea of what you need to start, and how you can improve your service. There isn't usually a book on these things and no one is ready to explain step by step to you how they run their business. It requires hard work, research and persistence on your part - without which you may not be capable of sustaining the business. |

Richystar - If getting a loan is proving difficult, how about starting small? i.e starting with what you have and growing that to where you want to be? I don't know the nature of your intended business but chances are that it's probably something you could start on a small scale. I wish you all the best! |

Are you a student? If so, what would interest you in a magazine? If you're not a student, then what do you think students will want to see in a magazine? Interview people. Find out what they want. The best way to make money is by solving peoples problems, and putting them first. If you're thinking for your pocket only, it would be very hard to convince people to use your service. Think of how you can help students, and engage them at the same time. Are they looking for relationships, then put a dating section in. Are they looking for relationship advice? Put an agony aunt section in. Are they looking for accomodation? Charge landlords to advertise their property. Are they looking to buy/sell their used book? Put a trade section in. Are they looking for the latest events/parties? Put an event section in. Whatever you do, ask people and find out what they want, and then go with that. That is the core of your intended plan - Your customers. Printers, Magazine publishers etc are only stage 2. If you have a nice looking magazine containing othing that is beneficial to anyone, of what profit is it to you, or to your customers? |
| Christianity Etc › Re: Is Religion A Hoax? - Watch the "truth" about The Greatest Story Ever Told by naijacutee(f): 9:15am On Aug 16, 2008 |
KarmaMod:I've been waiting for a response too, Sisi but it's ok. I'll try not to mention davidylan anymore, even though I respect him a lot. mazaje:I've read your post, but I don't want to take up space, so I just quoted the first line. Good argument there, I must say. However, on that note - Have you ever spoken to an ex-christian and asked why they pulled away? Nine times out of ten, they were having personal problems in their lives and when there seemed to be "no God", they decided to go on a soul-searching mission and "look for God" to appear-now-and-solve-my-problems-or-else. . . When God still didn't show up, they sulked and concluded that nobody was up there. Usually, they feel so intelligent with this newly-found-wisdom-of-the-nonexistence-of-God and they devote themselves to this new cause. Yes, some still read the Bible, but they read it as an criminals testimony - Their main aim is to shoot as many holes as they can into the themes, and collect as much evidence against christianity as they can. The ones who have gone deeper into atheism , finally make up their mind that the Bible isn't true, however Jesus did exist - howbeit, only for the purpose of teaching us the best way to live. They still read the Bible, but this time, they interpret it a different way. They now start looking for the "good" things in the Bible and saying "This has nothing to do with God, however, if someone slaps you and you turn the other cheek, it will show your strenght of character and control over your personal instincts". . Don't worry Jesus was a very good psychologist and he knew these things would come. He talked about them in Matthew 13: "Listen then to what the parable of the sower means:When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 20[b]The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time.[/b] When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away. 22The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful." mazaje:Having talked about atheists who were raised into christianity, and pulled away, lets move to other religions. I do understand the point behind many Islamic teachings. Since the three main religions which give an explanation of how the earth was created (that I know of) stem from the same origin, then I guess anyone who is questioning the origin of christianity would also be questioning the origin of Islam and Judaism as well. Where the difference arises is where someone suddenly appears and says that he is God and he created the world, including those who were before "his time", and provides evidence to back up his claims. Furthermore, the christian claims are easily accessible and widely available for interrogation whenever you like. If there are any claims made about Islam, they are not open for interrogation as they have the sword to defend the parts which do not hold water. As for other major religions (e.g buddhism, taoism, confusicianism, etc) - There is nothing to challenge because they are mostly based on human philosophies, not facts. They do believe in higher forces, but not in the same way that Christians, Muslims or Jews do - and therefore give nothing concrete to argue about, unless you want to challenge their ethics or culture. The Taoists for example believe that there is a "force and order behind nature". . . Does anyone disagree about that? |

Sir, it is 2008. How can the market value of any house(or even shed) in the UK be estimated at £60,000? I'm watching the UK property market and am very very puzzled by this - but I'll put it down to me not understanding you correctly. Please could you explain the whole process in plain terms : [list] [li]How much is the buyer expected to pay for the house up front? £45,000?[/li] [li]And then the buyer receives the one years rent in advance (£6,000)?[/li] [li]Does this then mean that the rental price (as indicated by the contract) is fixed at £500 a month for 3 years?[/li] [li]After 3 years what happens?[/li] [li]Are you, as the house owner, available to view the property with the prospective buyer on request? I'd expect that anyone looking to invest £45,000 into property will be wise enough to sacrifice £700 for a plane ticket to have a look at the place.[/li] [/list] |

I have long stopped replying to threads like these but please allow me indulge this once. In addition to davidylan's post concerning people's obsession with God, can I just wonder why so many half-baked religious critics will stop at nothing to pick at straws, searching all corners of the internet for weak weapons of purposefully written jargon - designed to spite religion, with particularly sharpened edges teasing at Christianity? Correct me if I'm wrong, but of all religious material that ever existed, never has any being so aggressively interrogated as the Bible - By people who read it with the doors of their minds firmly shut, while they skim through chapters, looking for sentences to add to their "evidence book". If you ask me, I will revert to the proverb "Around a flowering tree, one finds many insects." There must be something in this flowering tree called Christianity, that is pricking the minds of many, and has brought many insects from far and wide - right from when Jesus was 2!. As for the person who was talking about God demanding money: When pastors collect 5 offerings in church, and the next day you see them in flashy cars - wouldn't it be foolish to assume that "God" demanded your money? Just because the pastor said something, doesn't always mean that God said so - Maybe the pastor knew that by putting the word "God" in the same sentence as "give", he would get more donations? He's human and used his brain, and position to collect your money and you are calling God into the situation? Why don't you use your own brain and position as the owner of the said monies, to judge how God really wants you to use your money for Him? A Hint of how to give to God from the horses mouth: (Matthew 25) 37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' 40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' P.S: It is good you put the word "truth" in quotes. |

Ok, we are getting somewhere. . . At least you are saying what exactly your grievances are. Yes, I know next to nothing about Forex, and I'm not interested either - My point however was for you not to point accusing fingers on someone based on a "hunch" without either explaining what your grievances were or hearing their side of the story. I happen know Gbenga enough to know that he is not the sort of person who would put his intergrity at stake for the sake of N5,000. He has had quite a few good testimonials and has been commended again and again for his work. He is quite busy, and on top of this, you will never see him spamming Nairaland or advertising Forex here like any of the real "hungry people". If you give him a chance to speak, we will hear both sides of the story and judge for ourselves. The other guy on the other thread was given a chance to speak, and he resorted to changing the title of the thread, and his post to "nothing" - which rightfully suggested that he was exactly what he was accused of being. On a side note, it's really sad what we have done with this country. |
