Blacks are very proud people, they love big things and rich people and hate small things and poor people, but they themselves are very poor and very small, one reason Africans are poverty stricken is our hearts..

Not sustainable

Funny enough I bought fried yam and akara yesterday.

Seasonal business,what will you be doing during the off season of yam?

And you forgot to add cleanliness

mbahdi:
In dis buhari regime even one million still dey like child play for any business today

See one of them....

There is no amount that is enough to start any business for your type.

FalseProphet1:
All the people I knew that were frying yam and other fries, are still how they were when I knew them, there's nothing special about their financial status because that business is a hand to mouth business, and most of them are married with kids who eat from there. I don't see this business making you averagely comfortable.

This I have seen.

Not the ones that I know of.
Through that business, mama Chima who is a widow, was able to not only complete the building her husband started, but also send her children to school.

...but thankfully, you’re just a false prophet.

opeyemhy02:

What country are you? Which one is off season of yam again? I know people who sell yam everyday and have been doing that for decades, can't you just keep quiet if you don't know what to write? What is off season? There's always yam in the market, either new yam or old yam, there's nothing like off.

opeyemhy02:

Yam is never out of season.

Before old yams run out, new yams are harvested.

Yam frying business? Even when herders have chased farmers out of their farm?

micronut:
One of those profitable small businesses you can start today in Nigeria is food related business because people will always want to eat.

No one hates food and not everyone has time to cook often and that's why road side frying Business like yam and potatoes can be a good business Idea to start with especially with little capital as small as N20,000.

Here are 5 things you need;

1. A Space in a busy Area: To succeed greatly in this business, you don't just need anyhow location but a place where people pass through daily in their numbers, usually a popular junction. Junctions where people wait to catch bus or bike, where people stop by to wait for others and where you can find other small businesses around.

2. Good Business Mindset: A lot people will want to ridicule you in this kind of Business like how can a whole graduate like you be frying yam, where is your shame? Are you this worthless? And questions like this. But with a business mindset of where you are going and what you after, you can always ignore them and be focus. You may not have to sell yam all your life. You can always move to other businesses when you get more capital after saving. That's how big businessmen rise.

3. Strategy: You need to plan out a strategy to make your selling stand a good place people will want to branch to visit. Strategy like best time people often come out, attractive signs or inviting stuff like playing trending songs on music player etc. Just anything to confer more patronage.

4. Needs: If you are starting small, get a free space if possible or a little daily rent cost, and buy only key small utensils you need, you will kickstart this with N20,000. With yam of N3,000 and Vegetable Oil of N2,000 and other materials utilities like gas or charcoal, you can begin. You can even rent stuff you need first like frying pots.


5. Innovation: Innovation is a game changer in anything and that's why you see many products that have been transformed to make them more good looking and healthy for consumption. You need to look out for things people hate about road side foods like hygienic conditions, cost, and forming of class and how to beat all these.

You can also introduce food on order where you can even take this to people in offices like bankers who are always busy at work.

Believe me. This is possible and doable. You don't need millions to start so small businesses in Nigeria, all you need is small capital and good attitude.
