Dishboss:

Dishboss:
Still needed.

(Omo this more characters problem ehnn)

How much top up do you need
In USD

I had given the above solution because I know namecheap does ban account especially new ones if you cannot confirm payment early enough which is usually via a code sent to billing channel

Ibehchizzy:
4.5 million naira lol 😂



Gfddf. Vvhb cfc. Gets. Gi. H. B be. Vv

Probably selling the customer
As that thing above is not worth 2 million naira

I know it happens with digital business
Not brick and mortar

DegenPal:
Pls if you are coming to my DM to price me 50k no stress yourself. Had N1m offer in the past but declined, cause was making roughly $100-$400 from gigs coming from that channel before I decided to change niche, couple with the fact I needed cash. Even So no come my DM to price my 2years hard work 50k it's very annoying.

What gig where you providing that's makes 100-400 monthly

If it does till now
Any do you need 50k then

Use a virtual card

Or connect virtual card to PayPal if you have PayPal

bfree.cards
works too
But crypto is needed

Kalaba:
Bro, you were making sense until the part I stroke off. Let's show some respect to Lagos.

OP, look into this advice, and make good use of it as much as you can. I'm conversant with the two states in question, and I can tell you that even with the market being in lagos, other aspect of your life/family/health/finance will be sacrificed for it. Rather, continue your exploits in Enugu, a much calmer environment and explore the lagos market digitally.

Thanks.

You matured indeed
Was testing put emotions
Some people are coming for that

werisetogether:
Thanks for your detailed response. Super-helpful

Looking at possible options to remodel space I own in Jos, Plateau State

Location is residential area and low traffic. Quiet and serene all through the day.

From your experience, who are your ideal clients for co-working spaces?

First one
The business of co working space should be combined with other businesses if the area didn't have lots of traffic

The business provides you with a platform of reaching a community of creative people and not necessarily for profit for real

Online ads works

The main client are people doing digital business
Others come in occasionally

We are currently not in profit as a co working space

But we have other support businesses in the workspace

Ifeanyifrans:
Hello friend, I need your advice. Due to low sales, is it wise if I relocate from Enugu to Lagos to start up a business (electrical/electronic)? Am married with 2 kids. I'll be in the comment section. Thanks

What aspects of this business have you taken online

What aspects of the business is still missing

What additional thing have you not added to your business

Enugu is among the tier two states in Nigeria ( only four places in tier one ), so you should be ok
If you can give the business more exposure

It won't be quick,but you will.be glad you did

Besides , you can still rake in Lagos clients if you know your salt well right from Enugu

The only place with so much fake people in Nigeria is Lagos
Even the very life they live is fake
With all the noise( you can hardly count more than 20 skyscrapers .

Always smelling like pit latrine
It's the shame of myopic minds scavenging for approvals and belongings

Stay where you are and grow
And you maybe looking at other places at the global level when you are done

werisetogether:
Can you pls provide more details on what exactly a co-working space is?

Must you provide internet access, computers, etc?

You don't need to provide them a computer

But what's makes a workspace in Nigeria in my own opinion is this

Good internet ( we used starlink)

Power( solar and generators)

Environment ( cussy enough to attract repeat usage..must include AC and well ventilated spaces

Some hotels on the island run this as I know

Seeplusplus:
If you sample 100 Nigerians and give them 10M each to start a business, 9 of them will come and ask this question and when they finally get something they think is the answer, the business will fold up by the 6th month.

We've never been a people that creates wealth and opportunities. The South Easterners are only good with trade. (Buying and reselling). And that is why most of their businesses are one man business, mostly husband and wife.

Only less than 5 percent of Nigerians know how to set up real business that creates wealth.

Only about 300,000 Nigerians are eligible for real business
That's 0.15 percent of.nigerians

5% is actually people with disposable income powering every other business in the Nigerian
economy

jiggyman:
Please, can 10m naira be enough to cover wedding expenses of 200 guests max.
This includes court wedding, introduction, and traditional wedding reception (where the guests are expected)

What business are you doing Ans what the business of your wife
To help yourself
Spend only 2 million and keep the 8 for your business or wife's dealing

Marriage can consume that in a day and you will.be looking for.more

So just relax
The most important part of your wedding is the pronouncements of the blessings
Every other thing is formalities and most likely a waste
Weeding is not the main thing

samuelson06:
VA jobs within Nigeria? What qualifications or experience is necessary?

The skill is the qualification
A skill you are comfortable with that you can build on and take to old age
For Nigeria
Yea there are va jobs too, but better to have two
One Nigeria and one abroad

samuelson06:
Which is working for you? Are you working as a VA for any organization? If yes, where is the org located?

Sorry I didn't include where the companies are located

We had
Vietnam
India
USA
Netherlands
Sweden

While they seems top tier
This people are usually not more than 25-500 USD monthly

Except for the wordpress which can go 1k USD monthly

Not always this way
As there are va for 3k USD monthly but you must know lots of stuffs to earn that much and have real online credibility from linkedin to forums as a proof beyound even your portfolio

Love800:
All these are under marketing. I think am correct!

Growth manager
Social media manager
Head of sales
Head of growth

There are more spaces in marketing than most other roles
You will still.need an actual skill
But marketing skills top the list of people wanted online

You can add animation
Programming
Video making
Ans many other things

But we you need 300-400k to just sustain pending when you get the 3k-4k USD jobs
You will.need to know marketing and an added skill

MrSly:
Most often we allow entitlement mentality and bias against your employer to be cloud our rationale. You k we you guys did not have clients instead of working smartly hard to improve the company where you work you chose to give querry to your employer.
It is understandable that you are entitled to your salary but you should waer a human face to it. I have seen emokayers who borrow money from their employee and later paid back. I have seen emoloyees who were owned more than two months salary by their employer. They never went to querry him until he paid the money. Whoever that owes you knows so you should not make it as you are the boss to pass querry. You can only do that when it is obvious that you are in an exploitative organisation.

A lady came to our office as a social media manager
Got employed while I told her first week was a trial though she would be paid

Found out the second day that she wasn't really good
Because other staffs could churn out what she was burning hours on with a 5 minutes gpt prompt
Told her to work with others not knowing she was feeling she was the overall manager
Chatted me on WhatsApp of our organisation structure by wednesday ( because she can't stoop so low to work with other staffs ..like she is Thier boss
We had to let her go by Friday
Many people can talk, few are ready to do the actual thing

samuelson06:
Which is working for you? Are you working as a VA for any organization? If yes, where is the org located?

I currently not working as a va for any organisation
But went into the va thing to prope up the salary of staffs I have

In thjs year

We have worked for some small sme or just internet people as I would call them.in the areas of marketing

First one was social media management which the staff did for 4 months
Another was comment marketing on live videos
Creating stories with gpt,
Wordpress site making,
Goodie ads and setup,
E-commerce product loading and a few others I can't remember

The most important skills of a va is marketing
The second ,skills, patience and capacity to take lots of nonsense from employers

I do not rule out the fact that there are programers
Or data entry personnel
Who do not really need to do marketing
But when starting alone
The first is marketing
The second is the skill itself

samuelson06:
VA jobs within Nigeria? What qualifications or experience is necessary?

Most times ,you just need to be good with social media
Canva
CRM tools
Including how to make ads

Akinfemmy:
I worked as a photographer for a studio in Lagos. I started the job in January, and the studio was newly launched, so we weren't getting much traction. However, during the interview stage, the CEO didn't mention that there were no clients. He spoke as though there were already clients, and it was just a matter of me coming to work. It wasn't until I resumed that I found out this wasn't the case, but he assured us that we shouldn't worry, our salaries wouldn't be affected, and he was hiring a marketer. The marketer joined us in February, but nothing changed. Although we were working, most of the jobs were promotional, and only a few were paid.

Fast-forward to June, after the end of May, we were all expecting our salaries. However, the first week passed, and then the second week, so I wrote an email asking why our salaries were delayed. I also informed management that I was running out of money to cover my transportation and daily expenses, which might later stop me from working. I asked if there was a good reason for the delay, it would be kind of management to inform us. I sent the email on Monday last week.

On Friday, I informed the secretary that I didn't have any money, and I might not be able to come to work if I wasn't paid. She didn't respond. The following day, Saturday, I stayed home and didn't go to work, unaware that some staff members had also decided to stay home. That evening, I received an email stating that I had been terminated with immediate effect and that I was to return all company properties by Tuesday, which was just my ID card. I replied that I wouldn't return anything until my salary was paid. Note that I had worked for two weeks in June.

On Monday, I received my pay, but it was only for May. I went to the studio on Tuesday to return my ID card. The secretary informed me that I might be paid for June's salary by the end of the month. And that's how my unemployment journey started.

Search on linkedin for va works
Try looking for solid jobs outside Lagos too

Peakdesign23:
Building houses for tenants, including shops, and building a hotel, which is more profitable?

Build to rent and sell

Usually if you understand properties well enough
You should be able to build and make profit from the 8th year

Hotels have high overhead

Openair:
This is a myopic way of reasoning. Your goal should have been to find a good candidate for the role. Even the US under Trump has explicitly banned hiring based on race, sex, or religion but on merit, efficiency...

Are you running a service based business?
Go argue with them elumelu

Go ans ask lapo and.grummy why most small loads are for women

You need to understand what works and use it

vicreatives:
Why is the role exclusively for females?

While they maybe weak in bodily strength
A huge chunk of them can be trusted

So many boys this days lack the right training to stick to anything including instructions
Females by reason of their make up still listens better

If you doubt me..start and business ans test it out

Zyrac:
Time to ask this question, is it backed by the primitive biblical belief that was embedded into you during childhood.
Why are Nairalanders in full support of every move by Israel?

Israel was created in 1945

Not sure they do are there are many Muslims here too

But have you been to northern Nigeria
Ans witness islamic jihad?

Righteousness2:
Is that reason IRGC seniors are Fleeing iran to Russia alongside their families in heavy numbers.

Anyway, its all vain noise from Russia.
If you are a student of Bible, you will not be Suprised with Russia alignment with Iran.

I said here long ago that a time will come when Russia, Turkey and Iran will lead a collation of Nations like Libya, Ethiopia, sudan and others to come against GOD'S COVENANT Nation in what the Bible called the GogMagog war. Many here called me all sorts of names.

What kicked 2days ago is Bible prophecy being fufilled Raw and right in our eyes. Prelude to the Gog Magog Formations.



Elam is Iran. Infact Today, Iran Nuclear program is situated in Elam. Iran strength today is its Nuclear program.

Forget what russia is saying. Russia will do nothing Russia will build nothing.
We know the End of the Story. It has been Written long ago in the HOLY Bible GOD'S Word and Guide to Us all.

Here is what will happen. Go and Mark it.
ISRAEL will Destroy and Demolish Iran ! Militarily and Economically.

Iran will be so Powerless and will not be able to come against ISRAEL by itself again. Iran will be so Destroyed. Infact after ISRAEL is done ,Nigeria will be Militarily Stronger than iran .

The Next time you will Hear or see Iran come against the APPLE OF GOD'S EYE will be when it Joins forces with Russia Turkey and other nations to Invade ISRAEL in the Ezekiel 38 and 39 Gog Magog War.

In that war, the World will FEAR and Respect the GOD of ISRAEL.
As ISRAEL will be invaded and almost overrun. The GOD of ISRAEL Will Personally Sink all the Forces and nations that Invaded HIS Land and People . It will be Mysterious.
If will take 7months to bury them all in ISRAEL.

Before the Gog Magog, ISRAEL MUST in some kind Peace and Prosperous prosperity .
For ISRAEL to be in Peace, it has to Deal with Iran and its gangs . Alm the gangs are Gone. Its Iran's Turn.

We are in the Last of the Last days. BIBLE IS PLAYING OUT LIVE IN OUR EYES.
The Rapture will happen anytime! Any moment

The battle of gog And magog must include china

No nation currently has the capacity to field 200 million soldiers
Only china is capable of that
This means the battle must include china

"I gave God 43 years of my life and I still dey beg for food, no car, no house. I think it's time to give satan a chance in my life. I wan check something." A Nigerian man's video at a bizarre location has caught the attention of netizens.

One of the samples of valueless men in the society

You don't need God to get those things
There are eternal principles to follow and you will get them easily

There is more when you walk with God

What has he been doing for the past 20 years...we need to check

Currently at a missionary quest house to relax in preparation for the new week

In Ibadan
Took this picture from the room I am

Nigeria generally looks unkept
But then some part of ibadan aren't that bad too

AfahaAbia:
Hello all, I want to get a a good portable car for my mum which she can use to go for her business. Any seller here can recommend or suggest. Location is Portharcourt.

bought a jagbajantis corrola for 2.1

I have spent another 2 million to put it in shape

Had I known
I would have just gone for a 3.5 million naira car and safe myself the stress of seat changing
Engine issues
Very bad suspension
Too old for any good look



Don't go for this type of car

Up your funds to atleast 3-4 million

Driggs:
I agre my brother.. if one isn't careful, the 1.7 will turn to 800k and you won't be able to explain why .

I am only amplifying because I know Nigerians are good people.. not good enough to suffer in silence.. I have seen God come through for people through nairaland.. he's still alive

I 100% agree with you

I sold my Audi 2008 for 1.3 because i needed to help the person

But the dynamics of faith and available cash is what people cannot really explain just as you are doing

I am currently having a bad experience with a car i bought from a person which I thought was going to help because I needed a roughing car in my new location

You are most likely going for a Toyota or Honda

If you check online, the least for for something that won't give you issues is about 2.8-4 million
That's why I told you to save more

Generally I like to have two cars

In your case..this seems like the first one

Having just a car in Nigerian isn't even good enough

You will usually need two

Looking at it properly

If you are looking at just getting a car now
Make sure the status of the car is really good to avoid wasting time in kazeem shops plus loss of funds

Driggs:
Father of 2 don tire.. but he won't give up..

If God moves your heart, Abeg let me know
I dey Lagos

091 3057 6357 WhatsApp

If you value your car for more than that, I can spread the balance payment for a few months..

Let them take Uber when ever they need it
While you safe for the main car

You need safe about 4 million to be in a position of advantage

No.need to rush it

Rain will still beat the family if you get a bad car

Nna2025:
Dear Nairalanders,

My company asked a couple of us to resign, services no longer required. I was paid a little above 10M and I will be venturing into lending. Microlending. Please say your prayers for me and wish me well. I will appreciate all you prayers and encouragement too...

Thank You and Regards,

Start first by offering people loans for business without using your money

Like solar loan
Water and the rest

The Loans will be given by the bank
See if you can get commission from it

Run that for atleast a year before putting down your money

Your 10 million is like 6000 USD

Only a business you have done well enough
Or something you really know can get you profit on that money
Or just use the money buy lands

But lands been one of the safest can be risky too
You can let me me know if you are interested in property business
