New born baby! This is awesome, I luv good news. On behalf of the entire members of Nigeria's business and entrepreneurs coalition (NBEC) I pass a congratulatory message. I really thank God for the safe delivery.
Ellmmm..., about ur missing sleep, u know that it's never easy, combining many things especially when it has to do with first experience. Ur studies, ur work and ur role as a dad, all these areas are perfectly interwoven, one is not complete without the other. It is definetly not easy but try and accomodate all of them.
The difficult moments will come and go but it's fruitfulness will remain.
Extend my greetings to ur ppl.

Thanks my bruv. It's a huge adjustment to our schedule. As some one suggested above , creating a yahoo group is the way to go.

2ruink:
Nice comment! Have u gotten ur membership form? U must nt be in Lag to be a member. Our focus is on the entire youths of Nigeria and our major interest is to arrest the economic monsters by creating sound biz opportunities for the youths. Who knows if the major resources will be coming from ur region!
What I'm saying is that ur eligibility is not affected by location. Just be prepared to work not just for urself but to unveil the latent skills in our youths. We'll discus in our first meeting, how to accomodate all the zones.

Nice response bruv. Don't forget to invite your friends in various field of profession . Regards my school project, it ain't been going well as expected, we had our baby few weeks ago, my sleep and my studies have since been gone missing....lol

2ruink:
Next week saturday will be too sudden. Mind you, some ppl are coming from outside Lagos State and the 14 days time frame is to enable us reach our members who are at the present offline. Nevertheless, there must be a solution.

Followed this thread with keen interest. I am a new dad,my daughter is less than three weeks old, my wife was having same b.r.east feeding issue until her cousin introduced her to a herbal product for mothers. This product worked like magic,as I type I am looking at introducing same product in Nigerian market.If I may ask mothers on here,products that enhances production of b.r.east milk are they available in the Naija market? This is something that will be of help to most mothers undergoing same problem in Nigeria and If anyone have information on this product in Naija please contact me at emma_nd@yahoo.com lets talk. I am based in the states and the manufacturers are also based out here....Cheers

chikeorji123:

What! Next year ke? Ooh l thought u ill come this season Is people like u and 2sexy,stpat1 and co that prompt me to show face b/c l"m afraid of N/L and their cabals trick.

That's funny bruv. Well, my ticket for each trip to Naija is $2000. I was out there not too long, spent two weeks plus. I hope you know how pricey it can be flying around Naija and lodging in hotels? I no be politician oh but a civil servant, I get wife and a daughter , it ain't easy bruv

2Ruinks,
Glad we still have the flame burning. If a group like BH that's a menace to Naija can be well organized why won't a group that is thriving to portray Naija youths in a positive form well organized? A branch of this group should be strictly for consultancy, so that funds can be generated to maintain the organization. It's not a one man group, everyone has a role to play in the development. I would like to see more professionals, lawyers,accountant, engineers signing up. I will be in Naij sometime next year and for sure I will attend a meeting section.

Guys feel free to click the below link.There is a guy from Silicon Valley, Eghosa originally from Benin city-Edo state,he is making young potential Nigerians proud. Minority business are coming up and most financials are planning on going global,Nigeria included. Keep the light burning guys !!!

2sexy: Why stpat1 no longer showing up here? I hope it is not because of what Pacemaker said awhile back.

I don't think so bruv, I never said anything bad rather that vetting him online. He was here few threads ago and said he liked the rice idea I posted on here. I am receiving spam mail from Naija, guys please use (at) or something when publishing some one's email online. I was expecting the form to have Non Disclosure Agreement section, what happened? Is it gonna be given to members during the meeting?
Cheers peeps and having a great weekend.

diegs: Is this business meeting just for men only? Cos I went thru d thread and I saw jst a lady but she is nt based in nigeria.

Female are needed also

2ruink:
it was sent to u

Didn't receive your email. All lower cap please

@pacemaker,
Please, do not tell me you decoded the meaning of my username?I figured no one would know what it means,hehehe
On your suggestion,i am a dr so may not have time to run something so rigorous especially when i take exams and start work...I'm looking to something that will just mean me spending free time online or something that has to do with some products for nigeria that i could handle from here with my mother in law or at least my
father.My mom will chop my money and my sisters will beg the living day light
I can not be fooled by their self pity any more or the victim mentality syndrome when the whole world know they are culprits. Yeah I could decode your handle. The business I made mention of above is home based, you don't need to see your clients but talk to them on the phone. What about selling manual breast pumps to mothers that are going back to work? lol
I a

hispinkolo: Thanks Rooney,Pacemaker..
It's just so so difficult for me to sit by doing nothing in this place esp when the exam is ages away.
I will listen to the hubster and stop the business thing.I just did not know that people could be so hard hearted,a relative at that!
He said he used the money for his musical career can you believe ithmmmmmm

Anyways,i am still brainstorming cos i have to run something from home,even if it's to earn 1 kobo,at least it will be my contribution .
Loving this thread!! Am i the only female here?

Come to think of it, how did you come up with such a funny handle? If we start talking about how our relatives and friends took advantage of our hard earned dollars this thread will get to 105pages. There are a lot you can do in the UK since they have steady power supply and internet service. You can arrange a booking website for Nigeria's tourist to the UK, think of ways to provide their immediate need. Become their tour guide,arrange rental car,secure a place for them to stay(home renting for a week or two) and direction to buy goods. Just a suggestion I don't really know much about UK

iyke10: @pacemaker

Why not do you due deligence before trying to put down people.

I do apologize if you think I am tryna put you down, I am not knocking your hustle I just expressed my true feelings, which is you derailing the thread by posting your online business on here.

2ruink: Nigerians' Business and Entrepreneur Coalition (NBEC) taken

Great and hurry up before a sharp guy register it...it Nigeria's and not Nigerian...
Thanks for making a wise choice

2ruink:
ok that's fine! Let's hear more from others.

I think the name I submitted fits the organization. Nigeria= The birth place of this organization,Business= transaction,create employment and revenue generation,Entrepreneur= Innovators,start up capital sourcing. Coalition= Associates of like minds coming together to share,plan and execute a way forward(N.B.E.C).

hispinkolo: Nice topic,i am female and reside in the uk.I tried ebay but was losing.I also tried the portable battery phone charger biz in naija and got badly burnt,my cousin ate all my money and absconded.

Since then,i've been blank on biz plans.Currently trying to take my professional exams so i can start work and contribute to the family pot.
Wish i could join in,lol.Recently sent ladies items which i got from sales here to see what will happen.Seems i haven't learnt my lesson,hubby has been warning me but i can't just stay idle,my mind keeps buzzing but i find myself always thinking of the generic buying and selling...
Kudos to all you guys...

You are not alone in the department of distrust. I have tried helping relatives and friends back home but they have proved to me multiple times that their incompetents and greed is their birth mark that no matter what happens it can never be erased.Listen to your hubby and If you would like to do biz in naija, your presence matters a whole lot. Best wishes on your exams!!!

2ruink: We now have good number of interested members. It is now time to distribute our membership form but not without a name. Let's suggest a name. How about GROUP ORIENTED BUSINESS INITIATIVE (GOBI)? let's know what u think.

What about "Nigeria's business and entrepreneur coalition"(NBEC) since it's for nigerians by nigerians . Just a suggestion . Please for members assurance make sure everyone sign a Non Disclosure Agreement which may help build members confidence.

2sexy:

Bro, when next you see such, just click report rightly below such a comment. Give the name of the person and what he is doing, the mods will act on it. They have responded on two occassion that I did it. So, leave this to me and let me report it. BTW, congrat again. Did you see my last email?

Thanks and I replied to your mail. It takes me hours to respond because it's a 9hours difference from your location to mine. Cheers bud!!

Rooneyboy: Again I remember that other noodles that was introduced----- the one that was to be cooked with hot water ,not sure that brand is still on our shelves in nigeria.

Till today, tin tomato is still struggling for acceptance in our markets.

There are multiple circumstance that can affect business in Nigeria not just what you mentioned above. What if the company that were producing those product banked their money in wema or savannah bank? I won't judge from the surface.

iyke10: When you subtract out the sleeping time, commuting time, working time and things you have to do each and everyday of your life, most people don't have more than one or two hours a day to do what they would like to do - and then would they have the money to do it the answer most times is
If you are already working, don't you deserve a compensation that should give you total time and financial freedom?
Well, I know a way most people can 'own their life' by building their business and there is a system that is so simple that anyone can do it. It doesn't require selling
and the best part is it won't take much of your time. If you are interested browse the link below
www.explorefreedom.com/bestmove ensure you watch the video brilliant compensation. IF your internet link is slow, select the animated option(not the live option) of the video.
I advise; don't just watch the videos, be willing to research them too and if you like what you see, do not hesitate to take action.
thanks

If you don't have useful stuff to say please stop spamming this thread? I have reported your spam to the moderator for future ban

Nigeria's justice system goes to the highest bidder. I have vowed not to submit or discuss useful business proposal with private or government sectors in Nigeria without having it recorded on video. I rather post their wrong dealings on YouTube that going to a kangaroo court to fight for my right. I drafted a brilliant proposal to the GEJs administration through the help of a former ministry,this was an environmental issue that I planned on solving in the Niger Delta region. I brought in experts from the US without signing NDA after trusting on the parties involved. To my greatest surprise I read on a Nigeria's newspaper that same contract was given to a company in Nigeria. I saw my blue print on the supposed contract, I called the parties involved and they refused to pick my calls. No amount of English spoken or advise given on here will change the criminal minds of intellectually lazy civil servant and staff of privately owned companies. I hope in the near future merit would be what defines a business man in that country.

stpat1:

I tell you, If anyone can get parboiled rice with some ingredients ready for like 3 - 5 mins it will be hot cake. This is because some adults see noodles as being too light for the hard work they do. This will be a relish number food for students, corporate workers, chicks etc. Good thinking men. I especially love this.

I will act as you guys Liason officer in the states and with time I will send business ideas to your private group mailing list. There are so much money making holes in naija that needs urgent fillings. Security for luxury buses plying Lagos route to East, Lagos to North, East to North, Lagos to Ghana an entrepreneur can create a market from that using a remote access network to help transport companies.

Rooneyboy: Ok people, been so busy lately but I'm so glad to c most guys are still showing a lot of enthusiasm, It really gladdens my heart I must confess.
In respect to the compilation for our meeting my email add is
Strictly4nado@yahoo.com
My location is lagos, festac precisely.

I'm ready to give my all to make sure that we make some progress .

I would suggest we rule out the idea of renting halls or stuffs that would eat deep into our pockets '@ least for now' .......

For this soul reason I would say we could volunteer our respective houses (depending on how big it is ----for testing the waters and the seriousness of folks) afterwhich we might then proceed to renting venues.

I could make my house available (for folks that reside within festac ) if the house is interested.

Like I said, anything that would make us a success is my utmost desire.

I would not advise you volunteer your resident for now,get to know the people you are dealing with first, one of the greatest challenges in Naija is security. I believe they have Halls or club houses in Lagos that are free. Anyone that knows a hotel manager can request for three hours usage of their facilities. They have bars in Lagos that are open during the day, target hours that have less traffic and then set up the meetings around it.

mabelly:
ok, i think you'v got a point there.

Thanks because I really want to put more biz ideas as they come to my thought.

mabelly:
the mobile number i sent to your email is my main number.
I will suggest we should ask the mods to move this post to the front page cos i believe many people go through nairaland without even opening some other sections of the site.

Please don't send this topic to front page, little kids will derail the thread. This thread is for mature minds and not for mama boys.

2ruink:
brilliant indeed! while all the items mentioned here are catchy, I think the most neglected food item is our local garri. I believe if someone takes to sieving of this garri to maintain good size and packaging to prevent the intrusion of unwanted particles, this packaging could be done in many sacks of different sizes to suit the needs and satisfaction of different families, such a person would in no time struggle to meet demand.

Garri is expensive here and I believe exporting it will be more profitable.

[quote author=pro01]@ Topic,
Nice tips, at least on paper. But it takes a whole lot more to become a multi-millionaire in countries like Nigeria where meritocracy is an alien concept and where the rule of law is absent. However, one can never go wrong by developing skills that can be commercialised, or creating products or services that solve problems. These two principles are timeless. The problem, unfortunately, is that only a very small minority of people have the requisite innate abilities, discipline, and 'luck' to achieve these.



Nice one.

Capital is the major thing holding most of us... that's why I am starting from scratch...

How I wish naija has capital investment companies that invest on start up companies.

Majority of the businesses I made mention of are cash intense and with employment potential for a whole lot of unemployed graduates if utilized wisely. I have Naija and Indian friends that work's for Amazon, which started as a regular neighborhood website with less than 5 employees. As we speak they have more than 500 employees, from engineering to business major.The owner is now an employer of labor and well respected by Americans.

CarlosDopipi: watching this space keenly. Many good ideas but the question still remains: would people show up for these meetings and would they invest heavily if asked to. Pacemaker I would need to talk to u tho....drop me a mail on this email adress fuhrerglobal@gmail.com
