I saw it at 1 am and it was sad, I am not a Nigerian but i have friends who are and am moving to Nigeria from America. I am not afraid because every country has problems. We have wizards here who steal companies data base info and have access to thousands of credit cards and they failed to talk about those types of scams too and focused on Nigeria and had one case from Russia.

Thx Globalaid, goodluck in your business too. what services do u offer in Nigeria is it in lagos. I am moving b4 the yr end?

Thx guys, how far is cotonou to lagos? I am sorry I am not local I am coming to do business there.
@Globalaid or anyone knowlegeable, do these companies do the clearing/release of the things shipped or will one have to pay upon release?

Thank you, That is not so bad.

I was thinking Through Shipment.

I am trying to start a clothing line in Nig, since I am not currently living in Nig I will need your help, please.
Do you think a good boutique will do well in Lagos and people willing to pay for quality clothes?
What would u guys say the rent is like for a boutique/store space at the palms or Silverbird Galleria? Are those the best location in Nigeria? Thank you

I was wondering what is the average prices of clothes for men and women. Dressed clothes is my focus. so prices for nice dresses, tops, pants, skirts.

For men I was thinking just high collar dressed shirts and flat front pants.
I hear designer jeans like True Religion and Seven for all man kind are so expensive out there too.

Please help me out I am doing my business and value your opinions on this site.

Hi Guys, Does anyone know what it cost to send containers to Lagos from china? On Average what does custom charge at the port to release it in Nigeria. I can't seem to get estimate since I am not in Lagos to find out directly.
Thank you a lot. I need this for my buisness plan I am trying to create.

I would suggest visiting the neighboring countries and seeking wholesale distributors of such products and sell them your products. They may have interest in your products and you can go from there.

Good luck

@ Danialng thx that you think the idea is good, but what are chances with the Asian big influence over our African market? That is why I want to cater to 'US' IN OUR SPECIFIC SKINCARE AND PERSONAL NEEDS.

So you think perfume will do good along with the line? That can be manufactured locally too?
Thx

Thx SOJ AND DANIEL. I am trying to tighten all loose ends and you guys are rite that is why I am on here to get answers since I have been reading your posting for a while and figure you were insightful.

I am sure the Asians have a lot of influence in the market in so many ways and leaves just a little options to run with. I want to create a toiletery line of soap, cream/lotions medicated to cater to things like insects bites especially for the skin itches/rashes that spreads among kids in unfortunate neighborhoods, this is common to lots of third world countries. And products with suncreen for our weather type and baby produts and then washing soap and detergents for clothes and dishes and other cleaning purposes.

Adcoline thx, I was wondering about the Ban on toilerteries and Luandry products. I thought of inporting them compare to manufacturing but feared the Ban and the bribery to still inport such products. What do you think?

Thx SOJ, I will be looking for the infor on Firms. I was thinking about a consultant firm for good info as well.

You guys are truly helpful on here. Thx

Thx Beaver007, I am glad to hear from a person who just made a similar move. I am really trying to make the move successful. I am looking for a regular apartment that has security and gated community not neccessarily like a hotel type thing. I can't afford that for sure.


I will keep you guys posted. thx so much

Thx Debosky, I have this website that quotes prices, www.ip4properties.com. Realistically, what will a serviced flat cost annually? I am so sorry for the questions but this is part of my convincing research.

Thanks for all of the pieces of advice it is highly appreciated guys

Thank Debosky, I will save the info on the Sec company. I am excited about this move. It is so expensive/hard to start a business here. I can give back to my own people at the same time out there. I hear rent is so high, but in terms of security is it best to do apartment/flats or bungalows i am not sure which ones that is? If I wanted to live alone.

Thank you to all of you guys, all of you are very insightful.
In term of Security like armed police or military men, what is that going to cost one to secure a company and I am thinking where I will live as well?

I had friends living in Lekki and Ikoyi and the Island. Those areas seemed ok, no complaints. I am Liberian/American but I am not completely americanized I can understand the lack of electricity and water. I come to Africa every now and then.

I liked Nig when I visited in 2004. I am tired with being here and need to become my own boss now. I am concerned with the bribery for I am a girl and my boyfriend is so busy, I hope he can refer trusted folks to guide me. I intend to be so involved with everything for this is the biggest sacrifice I would have made and leaving my comfort zone.

Hi Guys, I live in the USA now and am planning to relocate to Nig later this year. I am not Nigerian, I have friends out there who are. However I have spent about 3 to 4 months visiting there in 2004, I loved it a lot, people there are inspring and hardworking. I know there are others who focus more on the negative.

I want to open a Toiletery and laundry supplies manufacturing business and I also want to do houseware stuff like beddings, dishes etc, all of these to sell wholesale to the local market.

What do you guys advise. thx
