PoliticsThe “CHIP WHIP” Number Plate Saga: What Are Guidelines For Custom Plates In 9ja by NGRsenate(op): 4:40pm On Nov 17, 2019
I’d really like to know what the guidelines are for acquiring a customized number plate in Nigeria. Is spell checking what is put on a custom number plate a thing? I’m not allowed to put whatever I want?

I was curious when the news about a lawmaker’s custom number plate trended and I kept wondering why people were talking about it.

Can someone enlighten those of us who may be lost?

grin I quite understand you perfectly, just that a little drop to like 15k to 18k will sale too...too many people are afraid of 25 to 30k items like shoes.
I'm on the street anyway.
We were making just 2k to 3k on one shoe o with 1k out of that for shipping.

The shoemakers were seriously adamant about reducing price. So a 22k shoe becomes 25k... sey you get?

achi4u:
you are there bro,how many people on the street can afford N28k shoe.... just few.
Rather go for what an average guy can afford and make a killing.
At least, selling 4 to 5 shoes a day making like 4 to 5k a day is worth the effort than relying on 1 shoe a day with too many saliva to waste.
I believe in little dropping.
Quality bro. Quality!

These shoes were not imported. They were locally made. Asin na shoemaker make am.

Compare a shoemaker’s shoe of 5k and that of another shoemaker’s selling for 28k.

I could have gone for the cheapest of the cheapest but it would have spelt doom!

Even the 20-25k shoes i was selling, some were being returned because they were already laughing i.e the shoe don dey open mouth.

ManspaceBarber:
I'm concerned about your own business (management) not theirs. If it costs you too high to get them produced the shoes, you will bear the cost when it's time to sell. You should have changed the supply link before things go south.
Understand that for locally made products, the cheaper it is, the worse off the quality.

Shoes that will start laughing after you wear them for one week. So changing the supply link the same as sacrificing quality for price.

Even for the expensive ones, the quality wasn’t all that, some weren’t symmetrical, like you could still see some small small faults on it. But just because they were of a higher quality did not mean that they should cut people’s head off with price. It’s just greed tbh.
BusinessRe: What Lead To The Collapse Of Your First Business? by NGRsenate: 11:05am On Nov 16, 2019
ManspaceBarber:
Cost, not price.
If the cost of producing these shoes are high, apparently the selling price would be high. Overhead cost is the determinant of price.

Marketing and innovation is the heart of business, every other thing is a cost.
They were just greedy. Which leather are they buying?

They don’t even use metal inserts in their shoes or some or special stuff you find in designer shoes. It’s just leather, thread and sole.

Don’t even mention original or not original leather, how much did it cost me to change the upholstery of my car from fabric to leather, and the leather is still intact after the way my nephew and nieces play in the car to and from school.

Those guys wanted to make maximum profit from each shoe.

All of you looking for fixed deposits and treasury bills should better get the idea out of your minds.

If you’re looking for where to put money, open a domiciliary account and buy dollars.

Who knows, with this border closure, the naira will dip before it goes up.

Infact always keep your money in dollars.

How about going to different companies to advertise? I know someone that does this
Did all that. Lol even sponsored a fashion show back then in school with locally made sandals for ladies.

Use yourself as an example. Let’s say i come to meet you with shoes, locally made and i tell you it costs 28k. Even if you have the money, will you just buy it?

Tell me in detail what will go through your mind?

hefelove:
Try selling through Jumia. But make sure u have more than 30 different types from there u will get more orders
Even at that, it was still too expensive. One shoemaker will insist he wants 25k, nothing less and if we add our own percentage the price blows up. Let’s not forget delivery again, the best shoemaker i had was living somewhere after Ojo, 1k wouldn’t deliver from there to us and then to the buyer.

We started with adding 20% and cut it down to a measly 1.8%. Another thing is the quality. There are very few small time shoe makers who actually make solid shoes, very few I promise.
BusinessRe: What Lead To The Collapse Of Your First Business? by NGRsenate: 9:23am On Nov 16, 2019
Mine was aggregating and selling locally made shoes.

I got a website, ran ads that ran into thousands of naira. Got my branded shoe boxes and nylons down.

But the thing is MOST Nigerians will not buy locally made Nigerian shoes that costs more than N20k. Even N15k was difficult to sell too.

The shoemakers were always adamant whenever we tell them to adjust their prices and that’s partly because they just make the shoes, put it inside a show glass in front of their shops and put it up on their WhatsApp statuses. I did most of the advertising; Facebook, Instagram, jiji. So it wasn’t their business how the prices of their shoes were affecting running my business.

Another thing is trust. Someone will ask for price and ask me if I truly feel the shoes will last up to a year after paying N25k to buy.

Eventually the business packed up. Branded shoe boxes and nylon was thrown away en masse.

I think the lesson there is for local manufacturers to be weary of price and how they price their products. And let them forget about attributing luxury status to their products until they’ve actually blown. Even people at lekki sef are usually skeptical about buying expensive locally made products when the maker is still a nobody, no offense to hustlers reading.

The USA colonization is not like every other country the british colonized. US was made of many immigrants mostly Irish. The immigrants collectively wage war against the colonialist and defeated them and declared their own independence in 1774.
Regardless, they did not adopt their system of government.

The US was also colonized by the British. They don’t operate a parliamentary government and one of the least corrupt countries in the world.

Electricity workers are the criminals. They collect bribe from customers rather than making them to pay their bills.

In my area i know some people who are in this business with electricity workers.

Each month they come and collect their usual bribe while their bills keep rising and unattended.

I ve encouraged them to get meter for themselves so that they stop getting estimated bill but they are not interested. They are cool with bribery
Even with a functioning meter you still get estimated bills, so what are you saying?


Nigerians want to pay but we won’t pay for what we did not see/use.
