I have being investing in commodities since 2013, I had never made a loss, come 2018 I got money from angel investors even from Niaraland, raised almost #10m (9. I bought commodities as usual (beans) treated it and stored it at the warehouse, only for customs to close the boarder, the way price of commodities fell in the market was shocking to say the least, a bag I bought for 22k was selling for btw 9-11k I refused to sell and tried very hard to convince investors not to sell at the peak period, prices managed to rise to 15-16k, with mounting pressure, with an imminent harvest at the corner and another downward price Summersault, I reluctantly sold at a heavy loss we made loss of 7k per bag, lost a lot of investors the following year... But last year, we bought beans at 22k and sold this month at 52k per bag... Interested persons should contact me in Oct ending, Nov-Dec... 4 Likes |

it was during the time Mobile network just came to Nigeria and i started call business i bought Airtel booster, think it was about N17,000 during that time, I had two phones so i booster for each making N34,000 or thereabout, lo and behold after about 3 days i loaded booster Airtel network disappeared, i tried all i think i can do to inform them what is happening, the network came back after about 2 and half weeks. Lo and behold was not able to make anything again from the days remaining, i tried informing them maybe they can just give even if it is one booster to start again but no way, na so business pack up, small business. That was how Airtel killed the business completely. may God have mercy on them. 4 Likes 1 Share |

This country is a mess. If you have no side hustle,unemployed and over 30 let alone 50,you are finished. Employers just want to employ desperate young graduates for minimum wage - they are after the keen, bright and exploitable chaps. The harsh economy right now makes it even worse. The only investment I ever made that ended in tears was that MMM and still regret going into it. I started with 200K then 400K then 500K.I received all those returns until I decided to go in with 1meter that December,just when the system decided to crash. Don't forget.I spent those returns on things like Shopping,gambling and I paid to have an escort come round once per week,I book them direct from a website,I mean the most stunning of them. Not Cheap ones. At the end I realized, I have lost alot on loads of rubbish. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Mine was a network marketing business "Neolife" to be specific, it's a great business, people who make it in this business are really successful, when I started I got rejection from my parents, friends, and every close but I continued. From my experience, network marketing requires patience, commitment, focus, and time, I gave it all my best and I received stigmatization from the society, costumers refused to buy my products, prospects I shared the opportunity with didn't join my business, nothing was moving so I decided to stop wasting my time and evaluate myself. It's an emotional business, when you start this business everything is going to happen to you, it's not a get rich quick scheme or a pyramid scheme, one has to be humble and learn. 3 Likes 1 Share |

The only one I can remember in my young business [ Foreign dog selling] is a fellow breeder sending a wrong dog to my client after sending me a different picture. Then sometimes, going months without selling a single dog... Meanwhile, I sell and I buy any breed of dog swiftly at a very reasonable price. I also offer boarding and pet care services 1 Like |

Running a provision store. I saw a hell in that business. Though, not into it fully but I invested #1.6mil but the business is nothing to write home about. As a medical student, I opened it as side business not even depends on it because I have multiple number of other businesses doing but the turn up is not encouraging. The management was good but the business don't have enough profit. Hardly before you spend from it without having an impact in the shop. I have closed it up. 4 Likes 1 Share |
