I discovered a market that has high demand.ice block and cold pure water.I di my market survey .Asked necessary questions.satisfied with my findings.i started going from one coldroom manufacturer to another.A guy in nairaland staying at Ibadan even promised to construct one for me at a high price but I was scared because my location is more than 7hours away from Ibadan.wasnt sure he will be willing to come to my location if it develop fault.I kept telling people till sonebody introduced me to an engineer.I went to the engineer house and saw about 3 powerful coldrooms that he said he constructed for himself.He said he decided to take the bull by the horn when people duped him when he needed a coldroom.we agreed and I pointed the exact one I wanted.when he delivered the coldroom the material he used was different.The takes more than thrice the hours I was told to freeze,started shocking me(I mean shock me when I touch it without a glove)Because my shop was located in a big market In a hot town.customers were already to book but no block to sell.The coldroom started giving problem from day 1.wasted money to repair and NEPA people use me chop me well well.I just woke up one day and i said enough is enough and I closed the business.i think the best business to do in Nigeria is buying and selling

I regretted going into pure water business.
I went into it big time with all my life savings.
Bought 2plots of land and built a nice factory that was properly fenced.

I bought some brand new dengli machines (packaging machines), bought two clean tokumbo dyna-150 trucks each for about 3m to be used for sachet water distribution.

The truck drivers were almost complaining of one issue or another. One day one trouble as the truck is always at the mechanic workshop. Mehn.... I almost lost my sanity.
I had to stop production and sold off everything.

I am yet to fully recover from it.

Damn! Man, you shouldn't have packed up that business just like that.

It’s not a scam when you do it yourself.
One thing I’ve learned through this thread is that most people want to make money by letting others run their business for them.
If you want your business to grow, you have to be involved.

It's a crime to invest in a business and ask someone to manage it while you do your normal job? Nigeria is a lawless country if not,he would have been somewhere in Kpanti cooling his head.

Hotel business

At first i chopped money like there was no tommorrow, it a low budget hotel with sales of about 5k per night. Was banking in about 30k per day. It was like blood money for someone who has never made that much money from anything for like the first 6 months.

Mistake 1
About late last year, Nigeria happened and Buhari proved himself to why he was Buhari, inflation and purchasing power, i noticed people who still wanted to bring babes didnt have enough money left like that cos of food inflation etc. Most were now going for short time service which was 1500 naira for 2 hours. And as a man once you are done with what you want to do, your eye go clear till next time konjiii hooks you and you are back again.

So in essence i was cashing in more 1500 naira bookings instead of the 5,000 naira bookings resulting in less income per night

Mistake 2
When i was making crazy money per day, i too was forming big boy dashing people around money and acting like i had money, what people came to the hotel to do, me too i carried people to other expensive hotels to do.

Also i was repairing almost everything in the hotel customers will spoil, anything be painting the same wall over and over again

Meanwhile price of emulsion went from 4k to 12k minimum, i still would be doing renovations non stop

I even wanted to buy diesel generator at one point in time and give customers AC, Rooms that i know they wont still sleep in for less than 5k a night. Thank God i couldnt afford the diesel generator

Mistake 3- Ramadan period
Chai this period for like 2 months was hard ooo, its like everyone was holy and no one wanted to spoil thier fast, but once Ramadan ended, things went back to normal.

Conclusion
Save your money and put your money where your mouth is.

Now im still back but more clever now, I have stopped pointless renovations. And i have started saving my money,

Even now i have started lying to my staff that there is no money for renovations, lol the same people that remit 30k per day room bookings for me every day haha

Also im trying to do a palmwine lounge thing. I have noticed one thing its when people are drunk or tipsy thats when they start wanting to do the obvious.

Lead city university students too that always came to camp at the hotel and be doing party around the night looool

Chai

Good evening please I would love to work with you in your hotel... please am in need of a job..help me oo

I was into Beans flour and plantain flour Productions respectively, but the aftermath of the EndSARS protest changed the whole narrative for me, particularly in affording the raw materials for production. Many credit sales,and nothing to show for it today, and now, I've closed down the process, what used to be the talk of the people.
A bag of beans Rose from 35k - 40k - 49k - 55k - 60k - 70k, and the price of a bunch of plantain Rose to 7k per bunch. I had to run for my dear life, cuz it was way beyond what I can manage to operate with, and the worse part is that the customers will never listen to you when there's increment, until then, they will tell you, if you don't want to sell, you should keep it now.

My products stood out amongst major companies within, cuz of it's unadulterated nature and zero preservatives, but it's no more today.

How I wish there's someone, who is willing to partner with me, or willing to tap into the business, with my knowledge, we can do a great job.

Where is your location?
I do palm processing.... There's a huge plantain potential in my domain with zero processing companies at d moment...

Damn!
So I managed to save 1ml from a contract job. As the contract was about coming to an end, I tried creating another source of income that could replace it so I could continue to enjoy But it all ended in premium tears when I was advised to start a transport business.
In the process, I bought a Nigerian used Sharon motor. Omo na so this vehicle gave me the shock of my life. There's no single day it won't break down. I nearly repaired my life out . When it became clear to me that I was dieing, I had to sell it not even up to one tenth of what I bought it . I almost became hypertensive then. Mehn, it was really a horrible experience for a very young guy like me. What killed me the most is the fact that the person that sold this vehicle to me happen to be someone that I look up to as a father. He assured me that the vehicle is in very good shape. He worked with my mechanic to commit that atrocity. I hate them with passion but I have to move on. I will rise again by grace of God!

Lession: do not trust anyone.

Onions distribution and other forms of food distribution. Nigerians are very distrustful people. I got my hands burnt, that's why nowadays I prefer to spend my money in club and enjoy it than let azaman chop me
