Can't you make your point without insulting? Or are you one of the lots that develops fever each time IBOs are mentioned; Biafra is imaginary yet you are talking about it...Think! Think! Young Man Think!...

Ephemmm:
[s][/s]

If we tell you that Biafra's agitation is just a joke which must be laughed upon to relieve tension, you will quickly rubbished the assertion. Here is another Ibo man among other Nigerian tribe seeking political relevance at Federal level without being hindered, whereas jobless flat heads touts are still shouting Biafra like hungry birds everywhere dey go.

Nice move jare my friend, you belong to Nigeria not imaginary Biafra.

Articulated and well succinctly put response. You sounded so intelligent. Please further educate the mofos who likes to criticize others but receives criticisms with a pitch of salt. Keep it up Bro!!!!

blackmatter007:
You don't know me neither have you interacted with me before so how did you come to the conclusion that i did not support true federalism? Don't behave like an illiterate please!

FYI i have supported true federalism right from the onset, if i may ask what made Jonathan call for a National conference? it is because of our false unity and agitations, why didn't he implement it? Well, the adopted policies of the national confab didn't suit the north, so they fought tooth and nail to delay it until Jonathan was defeated. It came as no surprise to me when buhari said he was trashing the national cofab report, in other words he was speaking for the north.

Stop advertising your ignorance for all to see, you see that particular bolded sentence? It is becoming f.ucking boring, when will 'the blame game' and the 'why didn't you' nonsense stop, look at old ussr, look at syria,look at the arab spring, these said countries had massive military arms than what the NA has currently in their inventory but when the people are fed up, when anarchy and civil disobedience takes over, there's nothing any government can do, even the almighty USA will be in chaos.

Pray it doesn't come to that because if it does, forget Nigeria!

Be smart except of course you are a northerner.

Sorry I just saw your post. Yes its a good business but location and getting relevant documents is key. You can contact the op and other players in the field and make comparison in terms of price, efficiency and effectiveness. Goodluck.

agarawu23:
hello Oga , after your enquiries in festac and everything you asked about the gas business, what was your final decision? Did u invest in it or do you think its a good business after your full enquiry?

I have interest in the business.
I want to hear from you before I contact the op.

Here comes one of the zombies that IPOB gives nightmare. One thing is clear, IPOB have come to stay and achieving.

koboko69:
Stop the impersonation. You are an IPOD.

Period!!!!!

Dearest, I am not a Buhari nor APC fan but its out of place to wish another man dead.

Mrpoker:
God in heaven, we do not deserve buhari!
Please kill him for me.
If you do this for me, I will dedicate 90% of my time doing your works.
I will live in your temple and serve you, I will testify to the world about your goodness and mercy.

Nsukka!! Nwanne igbajiri nkpisi!! Supu Oyibo. Words! fellow, your are learned. Speak grammar!!

GANJAFARMER:
lol , weak defense system.

We all in the Niger Delta knew you like the back of our hand.

You treacherous ,loud mouthed , lying , slimy scumbags with no dignity.

They will hit Lagos like they did hit atlas cove and nothing will happen. After all Lagos is a major beneficiary of the blood and oil that has polluted the Niger Delta for decades.

Gbam!!

IkpuMmadu:
Servitude mentality

Thank you so much Sis. This OMENKA or whatever he is called is always pained about Igbos? I am not worried, your are handling him already.

freeze001:
Hahaha...
He's run off with his tail tucked between his legs...lol.
Take that advice for free as given earlier...have a personal reevaluation and self-examination. You need it.

As for your 'opinion', don't let it always display ur bias, hatred and fear. Stay detached, support ur beliefs without trying to portray some misplaced sense of superiority and stop being hateful.

Good Morning Enugu State,

Its a pity that Enugu indegenes just woke up to see what Nnamdi Kanu saw years ago and was going places conscientising and motivating Igbos (Biafrans) to rise up to the occasion. Enugu was one of the weakest point during the IPOB protest staged last year to first quarter of this year. They made only one attempt before their feminine Governor waded in and they gave in cheaply.

Its never late. Enugu state can still rise and be counted by regrouping and forging a common front against the blood sucking Fulani herdsmen. Device whatever means available to resist and quell future occurrence this devilish attack. Stop waiting for the president or your governor because they are forever protected by the security agencies. They will only make public statements and give stipends to the injured. A word is enough for the wise.

RIP to the dead.

Your expression here is a total display of umpretentiousness. It shows you can live and accommodate others irrespective of their status. I can sense you are not a material-centered person. Please keep it up!.

ogorwyne:
And u guys made fun of him for wearing what he has? It might not even be his. I pray education opens a way for him. I feel so bad for that guy, he is trending on NL and may not even be aware just because of one childish and foolish course mate, who felt the need to make fun of his struggle.

Learn to choose your jokes right.

MadCow1:
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!


Its a joke, not a diick.. Stop taking it so hard.




When the thought to 'place me where I belonged' crossed your mind and you saw the Moniker, I am sure that did not appear to be a good idea anymore and rightly so..

I would have ripped you a new one just for fun..


Be Easy Nigga...

I wanted to place you where you belong but had a change of mind the moment I saw your user name "MADCOW1". You may hit the street and continue with your madness.

MadCow1:
Them still dey judge this guy Matter?


Where are all those Protesters that were saying they will split Nigeria into 10 if they didnt release Nnamdi Kanu immeidately?




Ndi Igbo no get loyalty sha.. As soon as Balance Sheet no balance after 2 days of protesting, dem suspend the Protest, Open shop back continue to sell 'Markate'..

Anything wey go make Igbo Man lock shop for more than 48 hours na enemy..


Even the Mumu ones for Overseas wey go dey worry Oyinbo for their country with protests.. As soon as Immigrations show, boys remember say na Tourist Visa wey don expire dem hold and say their waka no pure..

www.nairaland.com/attachments/3001462_pro_jpeg3844f20efb733b18efd6ea616def0584


I sure say many of them no even still remember say Nnamdi Kanu is still in Kuje prison being raped daily by Inmates Jimoh & Raoof on D-Block..


The Sharp Igbo boys don use Nnamdi matter make doe.. Printing and sales of "Free nnamdi Kanu" T-Shirt, Printing and sales of Biafran Flags and paraphernalia, Selling Pure Water and drinks to the Protesters, e.t.c...



This Nnamdi Nigga fhucked with a Nation and got fhucked..



Oganiru Ndi Igbo Gburugburu..

Oganiru Obodo anyi bu Nigeria...

Onye Okwu'm na ewe, ya nwuo Sniper.

Thanks for making him more popular.

cathodekazim:
abeg whr is namadi al hassan kalu

cnt blv this guy is rotten in jail

Dont mind him. He is not a serious person. I have visited the acclaimed workshop and posted my findings here for interested individuals consumption. Its not in my character to stall peoples effort but all I can say here is: prospective investors should thread with caution. Words are cheap.

bigtalla:
OP, you obviouisly are either an uninformed middle man/marketer or a clueless enterpreneur.. OBC made comments about this business of your and your response was highly anticipated.. But all you can come up with is ''.'' or ''......'' or ''call me''..?

Mods, i subtly request you close this topic. It is pointless having it on nairaland

Diction of a Jumia representative. Tell your paymaster Jumia to improve on all I listed. Carry out a survey from merchants and see the result. Merchants are complaining bitterly. Go and check well, Jumia is going down gradually in terms of merchant base. There operations is way too awkward.In our last meeting of Young Entrepreneurs, almost all merchants complained about Jumia's operations.

Its not a must to sell on Jumia though but as a virtual store, Jumia must rise up to occasion. a

MukaboxNG:
Ofcourse you might think that way, but do you know that compared to konga jumia chances of sales are 10 times higher than konga.

Moreso there are no ecomerce without return, even konga do get lots of returns.one reason I will attribute to the return is lack of proper pakaging, late processing of order and sometime mistake by merchant. Even thou customers do have a share of this attimes.

Moreso jumia have improved greatly and their response is now as fast as ever if you use the appropriate reporting page not using their complaint email. There is a special form for reporting different issue. I have noticed that response is faster when the form is used than when you send via email. They even recommended you use the reporting form.

Yea jumia comission might be high but the higherst is 25% and that isint a big deal because you can always include that in ur price. Even thou konga comission is less their shipping is just too high while jumia have the lowest shipping rate in nigeria which most times contribute to sales.

As for the direct contact, I think its best kept that way so as to protect their brand, they do the customer communication for you.

Yes return picked at the warehouse,but it seem likeits more organised while it is at the warehouse. Jumia handle more product than konga so they need to minimize spending to the bearest minimum I think

So the reasons you give are not good enough for anyone not to sell on jumia

There is no office there. I just saw two tanks placed near the bush. Again, why should your manager book appointment with someone in the morning and disappoint in the evening. I am sure the OP is the one writing. He is not available and you are using his username to write on his behalf. Manager my foot. A manager that doesn't understand exigency and dynamics of business is not worthy to be called a manager. 8 missed calls from Monday to this moment, no replies. He is not available and the phone kept ringing, may be he traveled to the mars.

ncolumella:
we aplogise on behalf of our manager the "OP" as he is not available at the moment.
Send him an email for a swift response or visit the office where you saw the plants 8am-7pm
also, you can call Emmanuel on 08085269328

OP I would have doubted all your write up here if I hadn't seen two tanks you kept somewhere in Festac. He needs to understand business moves with time and trust.

I called OP on Monday and after much conversations, he provided his base in Festac and we agreed that in the evening I should call him when I get to Canal Gate, 6th Avenue Festac so that he can direct someone that will show me the tanks and other things. In the evening, I hurriedly left my office amidst tight Lagos traffic to the venue, called Op for more than 8 times no response. Having wasted time and fuel driving to the place, it will be ridiculous for me to go back without achieving anything. So I started asking okada riders if they know any gas plant around, they said No. Not untill one elderly keke rider directed me to a different place altogether. By God's providence, I met a guy who taught me so much about the mini gas plant and directed me to the place where OP have 2 mini tanks. I forgot to mention that OP also promised to give me contact of someone that will visit the site where I intend to build the mini gas plant to ascertain if it will be okay or not but never picked his calls. I called OP twice yesterday, he never picked nor return the calls till this moment.

Now I begin to wonder if the OP is for real or a middleman. Because I see no reason a serious businessman will ignore or refuse to return missed calls from prospect investors.

I believe this is an open business. Kindly answer all questions here for everyone to learn. How much does it cost to acquire these licences assuming one choose to operate a 4-5ton skid?

ncolumella:
Town planing , police report, Fire service report are all sublicense to DPR.
you cannot have a DPR licence without having those other.

please call for more information

What about town planning? Police report and others? You never mentioned it anywhere in your write up. Explain things in details so that would-be investors will understand and know what to expect.

ncolumella:
you need a DPR licence to operate your plant.
you plant can need operational while processing your licence.
requirements to the licence differs based on the capacity of your plant.

Jumia is a terrible place to sell. Even if you have issues and visit their Head Office, they will treat you like a leper. No courtesy. I have turned off my store on Jumia.

ceecia:
I totally relate to all you have said. I have abandoned my jumia store cause of the many issues. They still owe me some money for over 2 months now. for starters, use kaymu and konga.

Can you throw more light on the necessary licence and other legal requirements for this business. I find overtime that most dealers or marketers per say doesn't give out all information regarding a business dynamic which is a very important part of every venture.

Again, I will suggest you answer every question transparently here instead of call me or send email. That way all interested person(s) can ask you relevant questions.

Once more, I need more clarifications on the licence and other documents required for this business.

I can agree with the OP posit on selling on Konga but Jumia to me its NO NO!!. Alot of returns, poor customer/merchant service. No direct contact between buyer and seller. I mean no phone contact. Returned products MUST be collected at their Head Officer at Ikeja. It takes Jumia team almost a week or more to respond to merchants issues.. Jumia commission is double if not tripple of Konga commission. Delivery on jumia is as slow as snail.

I advise new sellers to start with Konga as their services are more clear and seamless compared to Jumia.

Jumia sucks.

this promise to be a good business but I have some questions:

1. Is 4m asking price for the 2.5 tons?

2. What about issue of safety? I intend to run a biz of this nature in a close located at Satellite Town Lagos.

3. Can you visit the location to check if okay for the business?

4. With payment 4m (assuming its fixed) what accessories are you going to supply?

I await your response.

Greetings:

I am a seller on Jumia and Konga Platforms hence wish to share my observations as well as challenges encountered selling on the platforms. Please note that I am not in any way trying to tarnish image of the virtual stores.

The Challenges:

1. Listing: Uploading of items on Jumia platform is very herculean as the uploaded items are subjected to much scrutiny and most times rejected with no cogent reasons. Listing on konga appears more seamless timely and user friendly.

2. Customer Service: While it takes Jumia account officers and seller support units 4 - 1week to reply to e-mails pertaining merchant issues, Konga customer care agent is always at hand to pick calls and address merchant issues.

3. Buyer/Merchant Relationship: On Jumia platform buyers contact phone numbers are not provided making it difficult for merchants to communicate with buyers before products are shipped. This makes it difficult for merchants to contact buyers to ascertain their readiness and availability to pick up shipped orders. While on Konga platform, buyers contact are made available which makes it easy for merchants and buyers to discuss more about the products in terms of specifications and other clarifications.

4. Return Items: Return on Jumia platform is much coupled with the fact that the return item must be picked up at Jumia Head Office when scheduled irrespective of the weight or number of items concerned. Its painful for a merchant who stays in Festac to spend close to 1000 naira going to Jumia Head Office - Ikeja to pick a return item worth 800 naira. Konga will always return the item through KOS office where the item was originally shipped.

5. Delivery: Delivery on Jumia takes a longer time. It takes about 1 - 2 weeks for Jumia to deliver up countries orders. Konga delivery rate is faster that most times it takes few days for items to be delivered to up countries and 2 days within lagos.

6. Commission: Jumia commission is VERY high when compared to konga.

From the above, one will think I am promoting Konga but for real, Konga operations seems more buyer/merchant friendly. Merchants on both or either of the plaftorm kindly share your views.

ThankGod you came back alive. When will our ladies learn? With stories of insecurity, kidnapping and other vices, I think its unwise to visit a guy alone up to his residence. What if he gang-rape or cut off your head? I cannot but hiss at some ladies sense of reasoning and wanton desire for material things.

TeeFeh:
LOL it was a funny experience for real,I never imagined it to happen and end up this way but it did..

I met this guy on palm chat ni oh,and he was the one that asked for my number. I wasn't even eager to give him but as he refused,I couldn't resist too because his profile picture isn't bad,he's presentable too..

After that day this same guy sent me a message that I gave him a wrong number and that's not true because I don't think so,maybe he doesn't have card to call and he's lying yeah I told him that and he said how could I say such oh,that he stays in falomo in ikoyi,do I know how much he's renting his house, i sha told him "no vex" and told him to retry the number.

We were chatting for hours that day and this guy said he wants to meet me that he owns a car, owns an hoverboard, uses premium phones..errm He even said he's planning to order the S7 edge once its out, that he's using one phantom 5 or something. He also said he has a drone in his house and all those things sha and he talked like the kind of guy I've always dreamt to be with, not because of the car tho he was just on point! I got interested immediately!!

We picked a date for our meeting,I dressed up,bought new clothes and shoes with a new perfume,I just wanted to look good too,you know what I mean na? in fact I took a cab from Mushin to Ikoyi I gave the cab man N5000,I called him that I'm already in Ikoyi around falomo,he said I should wait for him around the bridge side.

When. I saw him I wanted to die because he was not the one i saw in his profile picture oh,he looked like an idiot!!I endured and when we got to his so called house,can u imagine!he was squatting there with his uncle and he's a kabukabu driver!!!

I got so dissappointed in myself that day ehn because I heard Ikoyi, Car and expensive gadgets,when I was leaving self he didn't give me one Naira,I was thinking that what if I get raped or used for money rituals?eh

But why are guys liars??I'm not saying all but majority of em' do that, must you fake?its unfair sha

As girls too we have to be careful and try to work hard to make a life for ourselves. The truth is most of us are dating edited pictures...I learnt that day, Not all that glitters is gold.My friends laughed at me so hard I just deleted the mumu boy from my life not just my phone and moved on and I blocked him on palm chat.

I still cry in my 3500 till today.


People should learn from my mistake and foolish error

kenzysmith:
ewu

Is this part of the sense you spoke about?

And what have you achieved with your sense? Typing nonsense on Nairaland and claiming Igbo when you are not one? Kids everywehere....

kenzysmith:
Am igbo buh this people calling for biafra non get single sense at all.

You lied. I am willing to die for him.(POC)

ishiamu:
No person willing to die for kanu Keep living in delusion, the course he fights for is a just course all igbo who believe in it will stand with him

Why secret trial?

Thank you! Nwa Chineke.
