Some one has eve landed before me. I rest my case.

What region is that? It should have a name.

EduColombo:
This Lady is very beautiful....

Beauty is an understatement. I don't even know what to use to qualify how cute she is. I'm just surprised and wondering why Flavour didn't marry this girl. If I had the means or the connect I wouldn't mind making her my wife. No jokes.

Many thanks for the write-up. One seem-to-be challenge i have been harbouring within me is Licence. I feel you need to be licensed by a certain body before you can operate. Please, can you help put my mind to rest in the aspect of licence? Thank you!

Licensing for courier businesses in Nigeria is handled by the Courier Regulatory department under the Nigeria Postal service. It costs 2million to get the license but prior to that you have to obtain a licensing form for 20k and also present an insurance policy of up to 500k, a registered business name and a legal office Address that's backed by a certificate of tenancy. When you present all this they then grant you a license. Note that for small courier business you are mandated to pay 350k every year for renewal of license whole big courier companies especially those that ply intertstate pays 1-1.5m or so (not so sure).

To be honest with you, I started just like that. No bikes, no office, just a couple of guys with back packs. I had to get bank reference letter, TIN cert and some supporting docs submitted to a couple of the companies I work with. Apart from 2 major companies that have a big website, the rest of my clients are mainly individuals that sells stuffs through social media platforms. Business is good.... Except for clients that reject items, tell you they no longer need it or just won't pick your calls when the items they ordered have been sent to me.

Lol wonderful. No bikes.. No bus.. Just bagpacks.. Wait so they trek or enter public buses. I'm very confused. That issue of customers rejecting items is a huge bottleneck and the only way it can be resolved is making customers pay for items before it is shipped. I don't know you but I love your resilience already. Lol

ubergold:
Great thread. I presently run a door-step delivery service outfit in Port Harcourt. We handle deliveries within Rivers States for now and occasionally to yenagoa in special cases. I hope to spread operations across the south-south States soon. It's not easy but as the day goes by, it gets very interesting

How much did it cost you in starting cos from my calculations it cost quite a lot. How is business down south?

Lol we know damn well what the OP is talking about but female empowerment and feminism yeah?

Chukzyfcb:
I do not know about your cousin, if you read my post I said it based on my own "CLAN" experience. What I do know is if I spend 4million today on my wedding, I am optimistic that I'll receive 2million in cash gifts and other intangibles put together. Its all about the CALIBRE of people that attend your wedding. Morover, if you have parents or you are the type that always make sure that you attend any event of these rich people. When its your turn, they'll always reciprocate the gesture. I'm speaking from experience. When president jonathans daughter got married, didn't you read where she got over 80 luxury cars? Do you know the worth of 80 luxury cars? That's over 1billion naira! Will you tell me the couples spent over 1bn on wedding?

Lol its quite obvious your priorities are misplaced. I don't think you are a good fit for any right thinking girl. Please take offense. And FYI they gave those cars cos they needed something in return so you should check that. As for your example if i spend 4million and get 2m back then I have lost 2m which is a bad thing. You guys are funny.

diva90:
I don't recommend offers like this to any couple that have money. If you have money, invest in quality because it's a once in a life time wedding. You can only imagine the quality of services that will be offered to you at such a budget. The cost of all these on a regular day at an average Lagos/abuja wedding of 350-400 guests is nothing less than 3 million. If you decide to have 500k wedding, you already know it's Fanta, Coke and zobo that your guests will be drinking.

I'ld rather get a small together for my wedding and buy properties at Lekki-Epe with that 3million. Spend a little more on developing and sell it for 100 million in a few years. Build my house and start off a good transport business , go into real estate and throw in a super market somewhere too lol. Then I can make everyday a wedding day for my wife. How about that?

Poster there is absolutely nothing wrong with you wanting to get married at the age of 26. But first you need to be prepared mentally and emotionally. You need to be an adult about a whole lot of things and you must always be prepared to put on your big boy pants. Good thing you have a job. Then to further reiterate what others have said, you need to get a comfortable apartment and a side income. Love is all that matters truly but notwithstanding, finances and maturity would always come with it and on that I wish you well. Don't forget to also learn contentment and pray to God to guide you to lead your home on both the spiritual front and physical as well. Don't forget that love and humility comes first and don't keep side chicks. Let your woman be your everything. Lol I don dey talk like Papa but I wish you well bro. I really do.

Catalin:
Early marriage is advantageous to women.
#Team2017.

Why do you want to get married?

Man this is wrong on every level. How can your wife dictate when you would sleep with her. I don't know about you bro but this is disgusting and disrespectful. What must have led to this? Is your sex game wack? Is she the breadwinner? Is she older than you? Are you currently engaged with something ? Like I have settled down to think of this and all I can say is that your wife CURRENTLY has NO interest in having sexual relations with you. Cos if she does then there won't be need to be fixing time tables. Like its almost unbelievable bruh. You need to wake up and smell your balls to be sure you are still the man. It's a given that there are underlying issues and you need to tackle those issues albeit strategically and while you are it I would encourage you to refrain from having sex with your wife. Your wife can pick the soup to be prepared but she damn shouldn't be calling the shots in the bedroom. That's your duty bro. Don't touch her for a while, communicate with her to see where the challenge is and you just go about your biz while you try to solve them. I bet you with time you gon be giving her anywhere and anyday . Cheers brother.

See as to go obodo ndi ocha dey hungry me.. Na money dey yab me so o..chai..lol..

Nice gist Op. I bet you feel brand new and rearing to start a new life.

PapaBrowne:
Excellent. In line with a master plan we are working on called the SuperSouth Development Marshall Plan. The 11 states of the SuperSouth(SE+SS) coming together to form a strategic economic bloc that would take Africa by storm

I would love to read more and partake in this if true. Is there a website or any lead on this. Some of us could be interested . what's up?

What I think is the best method would be to develop the east massively and Dr Nnaji's idea would be a perfect start. Already we have some of the brightest minds academically so we can call some to help develop every area of the east in terms of trade, health, tourism, agriculture, finance ,technology, power and energy. We need a united south east that would thrive on production and export, then agriculture. We need a southeast that would go the extra mile in education and business. We need a south east that would move from " Na my shop be this" economy to partnerships that can generate billions in revenue. But it all starts with education. Invest in people and people would surely invest in their community so if we can put our house in other then we can achieve anything. There is so much potential in Igbo land and if we get things right partnerships from other regions would come and people would come back to the east to set up shop. This is a smart initiative and I sincerely hope it comes to pass . Forget Biafra hustle for now cos if we get it right here in Nigeria then we can look for better processes to actualize Biafra . Daalu.

I'm certain those people were collecting salaries and instead of thinking about legitimate ways to increase their wealth via side hustles they settled for stealing. Good riddance .

Nutase:
I know that but is it possible that 224 workers will commit grevious or sackable offences at about the same time. Capitalists systems are very wicked, if you understand what I'm saying.

This is prevalent in manufacturing and retail companies. You hire a middle aged man thinking he has integrity to manage your fleet and within two weeks he's already connived with a few others and they are already stealing from the company or planning to abscond with company vehicle. Won't want to generalize but its common practice in Nigeria albeit an unhealthy one. There are a lot of thieves here and steps like this has to be taken a few times to put house in order. Sometimes let's try to think and apply common sense.

prettyboi1989:
where has she diversified into appart from the media biz?

In the media business you can still diversify. One person owns Beat FM , Naija FM and naija info. One family owns Wazobia, Cool FM , Classic FM and Wazobia TV. Linda ikeji blog, Linda Ikeji social , I guess TV and radio or something. That's diversification.

[quote author=Opakan2 post=51698983]Linda Ikeji well done o.. be flexing with the money pdp and GEJ gave you from National cake while some Nigerians go hungry every night on the street cos of that singular act

See Omotola, she has moral standards, not a reprobate like you.. That's why she is happily married and living a smooth life
when you die, people that don't know you will inherit your properties

Loool oh boy e pain you o..

x6blade:
Only stupid people would believe that this Range Rover is 199,000 dollars

So how much is it? Cos I saw a similar car on twitter and it was going for 68million. Confirmed from another car dealer and he was quoting 72 million. So I ask again ,how much is it?

Can anyone confirm here that the Austrian universities are mostly tuition free? I would really love to get a good feedback. Also are students allowed to work part time while going to school?

Haven't been to Rwanda but theres no way I can doubt any of the things I have seen here. Kagame is a visionary president and this country along with Kenya and a hosy of other eastern and southern African countries are going to make Africa proud. Sadly money that would have been used to develop Nigeria into a first world country has been swallowed by greedy politicians. Stashed away in other countries and saving for their unborn kids.

dominique:
And to think so many billions went into developing the capital territory, majority of the structures are just bleh

Lol. Bleh is an understatement. Nigerians are fine people but the country's damn too ugly. Too basic a nation.

danot1030:
illegality is the other name to describe an Igbo man.

Your opinion of the Igbo man is irrelevant.

Nothing bad with what they are doing cos China/Asia is the manufacturing hub of the globe and it's better to buy directly from source than to buy from third party sellers. Not news that majority of Nigerians are mildly below middle class cos the rich would probably never shop at Alaba market. But looking ahead I am hoping that one day we would start producing stuff here in Nigeria but a lot of things needs to be put in place for that to happen. When would it be? Nobody knows.

Onijagidijagan:
Good initiative

Aba shoes will remain Aba shoes forever if is d igbo people that are producing them. It will look good in d eyes of igbo but d thing is, it can never look good to Nigerians talkless of d world.

I will advice my brothers and sisters frm d eastern part to stick strictly to their importation of goods and and selling them and let d Yorubas and Hausas and others to handle shoe production and manufacturing of other commodities like it as always been.


#Truth is mine

Did anyone see that flat headed man in blue clothing ?

Not only that the "truth" is yours but the foolishness of the world is on your shoulders too bro. So retarded a statement. Folks like you can't put together a paper gun talk more of anything higher. Lol I piss on your brain. Dunderhead.

john1964:
Wow! You guys have been really amazing with your words, I really do appreciate. Thank you so much!
I guess I'll stick to you guys advice moving on and still been friends with her, and also not giving up on my self and also work on my success too

Please what little business that is profitable with time do you guys think/suggest one can start or do while in school?

For a start, I would advice you to stop being friends with her for now so you can move on totally. Call her or text her the situation, that you want to focus on a few things right now and its best the conversation reduces to a minimal level that's comfortable for you ( this actually means little or no conversation). at least she can focus on her new man while you focus on your new life so you don start feeling bad abt it. Then next thing is to delete her contacts ,her pictures and pictures of both of you together.I know y'all loved up at one point but its part of the healing process. Then try and actually stay focused in school. I saw you asking for business ideas and I think it's a good way to start so get one and combine it with your studies.That way you won't have time to fall in love anytime soon and also your account and your life would keep going up as you focus on reading..leaning new things and learning the ropes of entrepreneurship. See my guy..heartbreak is not the end of the world, just turn the situation around, dream big and be happy knowing there is an awesome future ahead of you. Cheers mate.

joycesims:
Go and hustle man! you'd definitely find love again

What a rude and senseless post. If you can't say anything nice then don't speak at all.

StOla:
It is Ogunlesi not Ogunlensi.

Secondly, he is Ijebu from Ogun state, not Ondo state. His father is Professor Ogunlesi, the first Nigerian professor of medicine.

As for Trump and the Republicans, they have a penchant for assembling capitalist gurus, that in turn wreck the solid economy already achieved by the Democrats.

Bush made sure he wrecked the economy he inherited from Clinton. Obama cleaned up the mess of Bush, now a Republican Trump has come to inherit a stable democrat engineered economy.

How do the Republicans wreck the economy?
They invite all their capitalist friends to run the country, who as a matter of first priority, erase all forms of government regulations in their own respective business sectors. Bluntly put, they are in power to see how best to grow their own businesses. They continue to take all manner of greedy risks, even if they have to bet against America.

They quickly cut taxes for the wealthiest of the wealthy, claiming such increase in disposable income would be reinvested in the economy by creating more jobs.When the charade falls apart, they run back to beg for government bailout with tax payers funds, while still flying about in chartered flights living an illusion called American Dream.
The average Joe remains average.

Time will tell if Trump will wreck it in typical Republican fashion, while the short memory Americans run back to the Democrats for succour in a cycle that never changes.

You echo my thoughts . I'm sure he would wreck it. This list is far from impressive . One sided and non inspiring.

Op. This isn't anything new as lots of people are already doing it. The good thing is that lots of people need to eat and they would patronize you but first you sabi cook well? You got to be extra when cooking for people bearing in mind that bachelor's and working class women would patronize you a whole lot. Anyways good luck and carry go. Obiaguna says so. Lol.

Abbeyme:
That guy is wicked SHA!

He used two (2) presidential tenures to know if he will propose or not.

Let him not use another tenure to know if he will decamp to another party before he shares his wedding inviation.

People sha!!!

What if they were simply waiting, getting to know each other, saving up and building their freindship. Must everybody rush and marry after a few dates. Merely looking at both of them you can tell that they are in their 20's so factor that this relationship must have started in school.there is graduation, nysc work and plenty savings in preparation for covered together.Did you factor that ?
Marriage is an individual thing not a cast in stone.

God bless your soul brotherly, Nigerians don't know shit.
I know fraud when I see one. These guys are just laundering money, that's it.
At the end of the day, she gets her cut, the goodwill and the fame.
PS. I'm from Anambra, and this so my opinion

She doesn't live in Nigeria. Her buyers may not be Nigerians and for a fact she's incredibly talented.I have followed her for a while. You should eat something sweet, bad belle no good.

celestialAgent:
Not a big deal, she's just lucky.

Let her bring that work to Nigeria and watch people price it for less than 100k…


Btw, you make it look like it is the most expensive in the history of art it just an evening sale


Nobody should quote me…

Are you 7 years old ?
