WafiJoe, I'd suggest you actually get up and go round and find out what areas are busy and how much it costs to rent shops there. There are several busy areas in Lagos, and several different price ranges. . . You are the one who wants to start the shope, therefore you should make an effort to do the research. It you had a specific question like : "How much does A sell for?" or "Does anyone have a shop to let on B road?", we on this forum would be in more of a position to help/answer. |
| Properties › House In Lagos For N4.5m by naijacutee(op): 11:23pm On Apr 19, 2008 |
2-Bed house for sale at Egbe (Cele Bus-stop). House has been completed - roof, windows, doors plastered etc and tenants have just moved out. House is going for only N4.5m, and is being sold due to the owner moving elsewhere and hence finding it too stressful collecting rent etc. Contact me if you want to view the place - contact details are in profile. |

Great post, funkybaby. . . Can I just add that the area where you decide to set up your shop should also determine which of funkybaby's suggestions you get stock from. You wouldn't want to buy expensive stuff if your shop is located in an area where people aren't used to ostentacious items. Also, you wouldn't want to buy too cheap stuff if your shops is located in an area where people aren't afraid to splash out for good stuff. |

Someone with an okada could also start a business delivering food in offices. They could liase with popular restaurants - -Mr.Biggs etc to deliver ready meals to customers who cannot make it through the traffic etc during their lunch break. A cooler instead of an extra seat could be strapped on to the the back seat of the bike, which would be used to carry food to customers. Instead of carrying on customer on an okada for N100, one could carry about 25 ready ready meals and charge something like N40 each for delivery. This would be best suited for customers who like to eat out but waste time in the traffic trying to get to the restaurant, or people who are extremely busy and who could save time by getting lunch delivered to them. 2 trips to the restaurants and back each day would fetch in N2,000 daily. If one spends N200 on petrol every working day, that would amount N9,000 a week for only about 3 hours of work a day. |

Can trading the stock market be classified as starting your own business? An idea for someone in University would be to buy a laminating machine (About N8,500) and a binding machine (About N15,000). Charge students to laminate their front pages, id cards, promotional stuff etc, and also to bind assignments. The binding machine works without electricity so you don't have to pay for NEPA, fuel etc. The only costs incurred would be for the ring binders (If not supplied by the customers) and this costs less than N50 each. Imagine how much one could generate from a whole class that has to submit the same assignment/project etc. If one charges N500 per binding of say, 100 pages or less and binds 2 assignments daily, that is already N5,000 per week without incurring any fuel charge etc. The laminating pouches likewise cost only about N20 each but they require electricity to run. This shouldn't be a problem however, as customers can leave behind their work to be laminated, to pick up later. If charging N300 per A4 lamination, 1 lamination a day would bring in an additional N1500 a week. And on a busy University campus, there is potential to double, maybe even triple these amounts. In the future, one can supplement this business by adding a computer, printer and selling USB flashdrives. . . I can hardly see any obstacles for someone who is determined to succeed. The equipment can be puchased for under N30,000 and one can negotite with a cyber cafe on campus to rent a desk/corner for a small fee. |
| Business › Re: How Should I Utilize This Money by naijacutee(mod): 9:14am On Apr 16, 2008 |
If after watching the economic trends the world is following today, I were to start a business, it would be in agriculture. You may have noticed that food has suddenly become very expensive this year - and this is has happened worldwide. This is because of the sudden demand in biofuel - To tackle global warming, developed countries are adopting laws to allow biofuel to consitute a certain percentage of their transport fuel etc. The UK's laws came in place on the 15th of April. This has then caused the use of land to diversify from growing crops for survival to growing crops for biofuel. Hence pushing up the prices of food. Now, if one can start a business growing food to meet the high demands, I cannot see how it will ever fail because people must always eat. The rich eat, the poor eat. It's true that it requires some experience but if you think of all the poor farmers in the village - Some may be willing to shift base and work for a fee. I guess it's worth thinking about. As you have N500,000 it may take time as this is likely to be a long-term investment. However, the returns on this may bring you more than any stock market can ever dream of bringing. If you're seriously considering it, speak to someone in the field who can give you a better estimate of timescales and how much exactly you would need to start off upfront. I wish you all the best. One thing I would advise you not to do is not to throw your money into any of those refer-me-I refer-you schemes. |

| Business › Re: Aliko Dangote Ranked #2 In World's Wealthiest Blacks by naijacutee(mod): 11:34pm On Apr 14, 2008 |
I agree with you 100% Mustay. But at the same time, Dangote owes no one anything. People should not begin to look at him and expect him to do things for them just because they come from the same area. Afterall, they all came from the same pot. But yes, it would be nice of him to be a little philantrophic and use his wealth for the benefit of his people - even though he is under no obligation to. |
| Business › Re: Viewing Centres by naijacutee(mod): 11:29pm On Apr 14, 2008 |
1.Write a plan of what you want to gain out of it and how you want to achieve this. 2. Walk the streets and try to observe and take note of peoples recreational/viewing habits. 3. Ask landlords/shop owners in the area for shop prices 4. Go to other bar/viewing centres and patronise them - Think about how they do things, and what you could do better. 5. Go back to your drawing board, make adjustments from what you've just seen. 6. Do you still want to go ahead? 7. If yes, then gather money. 8. Look for place, pay your rent, buy your equipment (as guided in other viewing centres - preferably not close to your choice location). 9. Open your doors for business. |

I've actually thought about this before, but what do you do after the football seasons? My suggestion would be to think about setting up something that has a viewing centre as an added advantage - Maybe an open plan bar, or restaurant, with a wide screen tv for sports/videogames etc. |

| Business › Re: Solar Energy Business by naijacutee(mod): 10:53pm On Apr 12, 2008 |
I would say that it depends on where exactly you would like to channel solar energy towards. If you are talking about generation of power on a commercial scale e.g a solar power station, then that would be very expensive. A solar power station like that in Spain (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6616651.stm) would probably set you back about $29m.  . Smaller scaled projects would probably be cheaper, but still more expensive than conventional power sources e.g generators. |

@ blue-sky. I do appreciate your patriotism but just as we have good things, we cannot take to emphasizing the good only, and neglecting the bad. Simply because the bad does hinder us - Especially if we live in Nigeria and are faced with these problems daily. This thread was therefore created not to mock Nigeria and its problems (for we are all Nigerians) , but to try and share our grievances and listing the problems on ground, hopefully just in case there are individuals/organisations who require this information for the purpose of making improvements maybe? |

Wow, tailor. . . That was a great post about your success from NL. Thanks also, for going into detail. I have met a lot of great, inspiring people on Nairaland as well, some of which have become friends. However, I haven't transacted business with anyone here. . . yet :-) Kepp delivering high quality service, and I'm sure you with go farther. Also, it might be helpful for you to ask your customer to appraise you on this thread, so people have a little more confidence in you. All the best, my brother. |
| Business › Re: Finishing School by naijacutee(mod): 12:16pm On Mar 31, 2008 |
I believe that plenty others share the same views as you, however I don't think that they make up the bulk of the population, as many have more pressing issues e.g where is the next meal coming from. However, I think you may have a market within the affluent. My advice would be for you to do your research in major cities in Nigeria before you proceed with your plans. All the best. Personally, if I was a successful, financially stable parent, I would send my child to a finishing school. 2 Likes |

no light to charge my phone, and see at night. The lack of electricity in Africa's most populous and (arguably) richest nation. Please use this thread to discuss your grievances about things in Nigeria. It can be anything - something personal that has happened to you, or something general that affects the whole nation. Also feel free to complain about one thing more than once. Just shows how many people share the same opinion. |
