They have come again!

Rwanda that has only its infrastructure in Kigali while the rest of the country are sh!tholes-like is what we're told is the best place to live, run businesses and raise families. Akin to El-Rufai saying "come and invest in Kaduna for it's well developed and safe" whereas ethnic minorities are slaughtered and wanton insecurity cut across the state. Criticise him while being a resident and get arrested, so much for development. Low budget Lee Kuan Yews masquerading themselves everywhere.

Most if not all African leaders have passports of developed countries but young and ambitious Africans are preached to not attain same privilege (all Saraki's kids have British citizenship ditto for Buhari's. Amaechi's son is in Canada as Desmond Elliot's children are in the US. What about incoming Soludo? All are in the UK and many more) by relocating to places where a change of government could lead to an upheaval in policies.

You have governments across Ghana, Namibia and Botswana restricting foreign investors from investing in their economies YET you want Africans with capital to invest their hard earned money, lives and time into such places. Maybe for tech businesses but for businesses in the real sector aka manufacturing and industrial sectors, Africans are too poor to sell to and most importantly, the continent is too disorganised and policies are very inconsistent to rely on. People need consistency, a sense of safety and second option. These are the reasons folks are relocating so that they can clinch those strong passports and return afterwards (some of those who relocated to Canada will return at a later date) to the most unstable place in the world. Before you mention the Chinese, Indians and Lebanese like one Dasparrow does (a woman who left Europe to Nigeria, found it very brutish and difficult only to flee to one bloody no-name country in Central America yet practices online witchcraft by actively dissuading young Nairalanders from doing the same), do know that they have strong networks built over hundreds of years by their ancestors who fled those countries (India and Lebanon), have a strong backing from their home government (China) and a rich diaspora (the trio). Their ancestors left their home countries to economically buoyant places to build businesses and raise families, the same networks newer migrants are tapping into. Instead of supporting such similar moves by young and ambitious Africans to economically buoyant places, you want them to move to poverty infested and unstable places like Rwanda and some years ago Ethiopia was trumped as one of such places.

Here's something you should know: regardless of race, humans will always migrate to where their lives can be bettered and as humans earn more, they desire for more good things in life. An example is how droves of foreign nurses in Singapore resigned and relocated to Canada, Australia and the US partly because of the pandemic stress but mainly because there is no hope of them attaining permanent residence status and/or eventual citizenship. However, these women (the vast majority of nurses are women) didn't plan so ab initio but as their fortunes improved while working in Singapore, they wanted more (human needs are insatiable, Econs 101) and left to places where citizenship is attainable. According to you, they should have remained in Bangladesh, Philippines, Cambodia, Bolivia etc.

Maybe you should ask for a refund of your secondary school fees from whatever school you finished from as I'm pretty sure you didn't learn anything useful because if you understood elementary economics, you will understand why people migrate.

You are so good and i compliment your vast knowledge. Keep it up and continue to soar

The ending on your post is disrespectful to Nigerians in diaspora. I can speak for Canada, 90% of Nigerians I know here only do for menial jobs for Max 6 months before getting into a professional careers and Nigerians are holding managerial positions. I know you want to sell your services, but please get facts and not fallacies.
Bigkoko:
Embassies make more money at their designated Embassies or Visa Application Centres. It is a known fact that most Embassies especially the Western countries are making a huge profit from non-refundable visa application fees. They provide scanty services but charge huge unquestionable non-refundable fees. That’s the reason why most of them refused to change to the modern system of visas which is evisa. Furthermore, the rate of visa denial or rejection is so high compared to the number of applications received, that you wondered if the embassies concerned have not turned their missions into money-making ventures.

Countries such as Canada and the United States are known for making huge money from Nigeria visa applicants, no matter how you satisfy their draconian visa requirements or pay heavy school fees, your chance of getting these two countries visas are very slim. They make noises about their needs for immigrants to boost their workforce and cleverly advertise to lure visa applicants to apply for visas. Whereas, they know quite well that the chances of getting the visa are slim. What an absurdity.

Here's the solution!
Register your Company in Rwanda, Start an Importation business, get your PR & visit like you always want to! Don't go slave on a menial job all in the name of I'm in USA, Canada or UK!

Hello... We usually don't respond to views and comments challenging what we post. Because we know they're all facts. And facts Don't lie.
However, I'd really want you to respond to paragraph 1&2 of the above. Prove us wrong, maybe we'll furnish you with Data from credible sources.

We mean no disregard or offense to Nigerians or anything other African nationals. Infact our recent CEO of the week is the CEO of Air Peace airlines. We love the way the airline & the Govt of NIGERIA responded to Dubai on flight slots. We appreciate the fact that many people love already prepared homes, however we appreciate more those who prepare the homes themselves. Thanks

Lesson 2: Nothing in Life is Ever Easy, and That’s Okay
In the short story on opportunity, the young man expected things to be easy. He was not mentally prepared to take on a difficult challenge. And the father knew it. We are, after all, talking about marrying off a beloved daughter here, of course, things won’t be easy. The story rings true in real life, nothing in life ever comes easy, and we shouldn’t expect it to be.

The story isn’t just about missing an opportunity; it’s about misjudging a situation with zero game plan. Things do not always go the way we want it, and that’s okay. Whenever faced with a challenge, always have a backup plan. This way, you can make the most out of any situation, and you’ll always come on top

The idea behind our business niche is that you sell something. There's always another country that needs what is in abundance or what you commonize in your country.

Do you know a particular part of Kigali delight so much in using Sun flower oil, Imported all the way from Egypt, for their cookings and fryings? As a result, 3 in 5 households uses that weird smelling oil? For all their cookings?
What does this tell you? Try selling samples of what is relatively cheap in your country.
Do you know why empirical and statistical information from Economic Agencies in Rwanda puts Importation of goods from fellow African countries as having good standing, and projected to raise? 50-60% of FMCG Import in Rwanda comes from fellow African countries.
I will tell you. Logistical costs from Asia and Western countries is very high. That cannot be passed to the consumers couple with the Import taxes for such commodities. You see! It's just logical importing from Nigeria, South Africa, Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, etc. Lucky you if you live in any of these countries!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.
Our office at Nyarugenge Kigali Rwanda will be closed from tomorrow, for the Christmas holidays.
We will be resuming on the first week of January 2022. Our Social Media platforms however, are still operational to take your enquires and Orders.

Col. Gaddafi led the country of Libya over four decades. He could have been a dictator, tyrant or repressive. Sometimes that's really needed to Craft long lasting reforms. My reasons? The West won't get a fertile ground to use an opponent to forment trouble or derail the collective progress! Africans always have one naive idiot who thinks the West loves him/her more than their interest!

Let me tell you this! Obama, Blair, Sarkozy, et Al should be in prison for the Carnage in Libya. Through that singular invasion of a relatively stable, peaceful country, lots of firearms, terrorist cells now plague West & central Africa.

Col. Ghadaffi may have been a terrible leader but some articles I stumbled upon changed my perspective about this man.

Under his reign :

* The GDP per capita of Libya in 2010 was 12064.8 USD . It was 7529 USD in 2018.
* Nursing mother was given 5000 (US dollars) for herself and the child.
* There were no electric bills as it was completely free.
* A house, farm land, live stock and seeds were given free of charge to those who wanted to start farming .
* Education and medical treatment were absolutely free.
* Generous subsidies were given for weddings, housing and car purchase.
* He built the largest irrigation system in the world recognized as “the eighth wonder of the world” its purpose was to supply water to all Libyans across the country.
The hard truth is that only few western countries can afford such largesse for their citizens as above!

Now Libyans have to pay full price for everything. Including dodging bomb blasts!
His last words to his killers were “ what did I do to you?” honestly in my opinion, he didn't deserve this treatment.
Who were his real killers? Western Govt led by the frog eared Obama & shaggy looking french man; Sarkozy!
Was he really a terrible leader or were the people tired of him?
None!
The West, as usual, just decided to get rid of him.

Look my friends, gone are the days when some overfed European aristocrats will sit in a posh Berlin boulevard and carve Africa according to their interest. We must resist them. It starts with remaining in Africa, setting up a business in Africa & developing Africa!

To set up/register a Company in Kigali Rwanda, plus other Business Support Services, send us a message today.
Thanks everyone & merry Christmas to you all!

How do we approach difficult conversations with customers?
Firstly, no conversation is difficult except there is a misunderstanding. We believe a Customer is always right no matter what.
For a conversation that tends to be contentious with a customer, there's need for Company representative to keep quiet, listen and allow the customer to air his/her views, opinion, complain or reservation. Understanding the Customer mindset is key to closing a deal. At the contentious moments the customer will bare it all. At times our Social Media platforms receives averagely of 40 clients seeking immediate attention, this comes with it's own challenges as well. Since we're in business to serve you diligently, we do our best to understand you and give all we can to satisfy you.
The above refects our Company policy on Company/Customer relationship.
Thanks for your patience and support.

Rwanda that is poorer and more useless than Nigeria is where you are advicing people to go to. Doing well yet per capita income is still less than 800 USD. Nigeria as poverty capital of the world with an even larger population has a higher per capita than they do. Honestly I have been to like 10 African countries and aside South Africa, you are better off in Nigeria. Moving from Nigeria to any of these shithole countries is a serious downgrade that you will regret to eternity. You can't make money In Nigeria with its population and it's resources and it's Rwanda you think you will make it lol.

You are taking of IT and calling Rwanda. Nigeria has the best programmers in Nigeria. Most of the venture funding coming to Africa is coming to Nigeria and the few tech unicorns present in Africa are Nigerian. If you are looking to migrate within Africa and it's not South Africa, don't bother.

I agree with you on some points. Seriously Nigeria when it comes to business is the best place in Africa to be, just that the country has a very huge leadership problem, if not I would choose Nigeria to any other African country. You're correct about Nigeria having the best tech guys around. But I wouldn't add South Africa to the list because that country is going down everyday.

Rather than spending $4000 & other humiliations at the hand of arrogant Visa officers at embassies, seeking Visas to UK, Canada, or much of Europe under whatever guises; school, work Etc. Come and set up a Company here in Kigali Rwanda and get their strong PR.

Singapore is Visa free for Rwandan passport, so a Rwandan PR on your passport is a straight pass for Singapore business Visa.

With $2000 Investment in Kigali Rwanda, that's roughly 2,000,000RWF, especially in IT, Manufacturing or Import/Export sectors, you will be flying round Europe like king rather than snocking around looking for menials to do, Including washing corpses!

Don't forget our promo for Company Registration (RDB) is still on and will end by 31st Dec. No further extension please!
Just three working days your Company certificate of Incorporation is out and you are ready to start business!

Some Americans now prefer retiring in East Africa countries, working from the comfort of natural Habitats, especially those who work remotely or online, because of the unimaginable taxes obligations from Uncle Sam.

Same America Africans are desirous of going to!

If you have a strong source of income or a niche local Products & Services, this East Africa countries is way more better than lots of East European countries, some Western Europe countries like France, Portugal, Greece, Malta, Cyprus etc.

Imagine you have a Whooping seven thousand dollars, and you'd be insane to go waste it on migrating to Western world where you'd probably end up Hawking tea & hating your self for not doing enough due diligence!
