I created this thread for fellow Nigerians in diaspora to list or mention their businesses or registered companies with a perview to get volunteers, staff, freelancers to associate with them. For example it can attract investment from Nigerians who are planning to relocate or looking for freelancing roles. 19 Likes |

ayo84:unlike the chinese and Indians. Nigeria have not done well in this regard. The businesses are mostly self run or they employ foreigners based there. My dad’s friend had a estate agent business in uk. Employed mostly white. The most common businesses done by Nigerians include African food businesses/ restaurants, trucking business, real estate, staffing/ recruitmentFor those willing to bring staff from Nigeria. It will be mostly their relatives. 113 Likes 11 Shares |

ayo84:why should anyone want to do this you may spend so much bring that person here on work permit and they opt out of the contract or move to another company off your sweat, why help strangers when you still have relatives or their kids i once went to a Nigerian restaurant and the servers were indian and an arab guy. Apparently the 9ja owner was cooking inside while they served. In Nigerian owned bars too they employ 9ja students and other blacks. The requirement for hiring a foreigner in most western countries is that you must prove that there is no one on ground who can do the job, unfortunately most Nigerian businesses cant scale this hurdle plus the cost involved. If you own a trucking company you will look for Mexicans or other blacks to drive for you not truck drivers in Nigeria who operate with poor driving standards in Nigeria. 72 Likes 3 Shares |

Re: Businesses Owned By Nigerians In Diaspora by ednut1(m): 4:29pm On Feb 10, 2023 |
ayo84:already explained in my former posts. Its usually owner operated for the stores. Restaurants they employ 9ja students already in the locality. The last nigerian bar i went to Jamaica and east Africa babes were part of the waiters. Last last they go for their family members in Nigeria. It is easier and cheaper to get people around too than in Nigeria. So bro way no dey here. Learn a valuable skill and find your way abroad. 15 Likes |

Lol. Unfortunately, most Nigerians who emigrate are not entrepreneurial. As it was in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, it is till now. Unlike other races and nationalities (Indians, Asians, Mexicans) that also emigrate, but over the years have made their mark and are thus more formidable as an racial/ethnic bloc/community, most Naija simply do not have their brains wired for entrepreneurship...even harder to think that way now considering how difficult it is to make enough money to start a business in 2023, not to mention the inherent risks. Which Gbadebo or Okoro would wanna risk losing what took him maybe 25+ years to accumulate if their business goes belly up? When they do have children, for the few that have truly special children that have the fire, they have to come back home to really make sense. Demand and supply! Do you think Andela would have made any mark in the US? Demand and supply. Andela in the US is just another bee in a swarm of bees, but in Nigeria, same Andela is a queen bee.....now the shocking part is even these special children that have it in them, you can literally count them by hand. Like most emigrants state here on this forum, most moved overseas just to live a happier life. Being an entrepreneur certainly and evidently isn't in the cards for most Nigerian emigrants.

ednut1: From what i understand, the Indians do get support from the family back home. It is more like a family affairs. They dont employ outsiders and only employ family members, so the cost of operating these stores are always cheap. the family in India will gather capital for the extended family who will then use that money to buy a store in the United states, they will lìve together and then take shift in running their stores, these help in reducing cost, so it is easier for them to save and also buy another store. I think it is similar with the Chinese too..i believe, it is more about their cultural and communal culture that is why the business are run efficiently and cheap. 66 Likes 8 Shares |
