The ones you're replying are not novices or kids that don't know how long it takes to make the first real profit. Everyone knows this. Everyone will tell you this when you try out any business.

If you're in Nigeria, and you operate a business that the employees can rip you off and steal from, you'll make massive losses. There's no escaping that.

Employees in Nigeria will steal from you. That's a fact! It's funny when people say this won't always happen. It's because they don't own a business here.

If you're operating a farm and you're not monitoring it every single day, sorry is your case. For example employees literally break eggs into bottles to smuggle out of the farm. Now, of what use will these broken eggs be to them financially? There's just that terrible mentality that we have in this country. Some of the thefts won't even make sense to you.

Someone like you comes off as a straightforward, simple person. It's people like you I pity the most when it comes to getting into certain businesses.
I have another uncle that owns a very big farm. I swear if i dey lie make i die, i went to buy 2 crates from the farm, they do not know me from adams and this people asked me to buy 1 more crate and dey would dash me the 4th crate.

i messaged my uncle to ask if his farm was doing a promo, he said he's been making losses and was thinking about closing it and focusing on the piggery. Imagine your staff doing promo without your notice. cheesy

A lack of trust hurts everybody. Few people here and there may cash out, but overall, society will go down. Thats how it goes.

Because those He-goats in higher echelon have refused to allow the LAW of the land to function effectively.

One of key things investors check in a place before they part with their funds is the rule of law!

How it is interpreted, executed, the speed, efficiency and accuracy of execution of the laws.

I said not all employees are out to cheat you.

I have worked at several places and I will say it again not all employees are out to cheat you. This "they will cheat me attitude" is what has kept alot of people from starting their own business. The people that own businesses in this country, did they do something mysterious to prevent cheating?

I have worked in a company where you can take 50k every other day and nobody will easily notice, guess what? nobody cheated.

If you have a good system in place and treat your employees well, there is a kind of intense loyalty to you that that will foster that even if there is a cheat in their midst, he or she will not be able to do anything.

I have worked where employees were treated well and where they felt like low paid slaves and the level of cheating and loyalty was like night and day.

Now I am not saying that there are no animals in human form that will steal no matter what but not everyone is out to cheat you.

As for the profit thing, alot of people don't know that it takes time.

When I left university I was very lucky to get a job that sponsored me to Europe on a platter of gold. I went to Europe for the first time in my life without even visiting the embassy in Nigeria. My visa was done while I was there. I left the job and came back to Nigeria to do business. Omho the kind suffering wey choke me eh, in a years time I was super broke. Covid came and I managed to pick up a new skill and God so faithful I was able to get something going with it. I planned my japa immediately I got my job in 2020.

If you have no experience in business, just avoid it. Business is extremely difficult and in Nigeria it's ten times more difficult. Everyone is out to cheat you. Customers, your fellow colleagues, your suppliers. The list is endless and there's zero rule of law. You can be scammed and theres no police to go to. The thing with business in Nigeria is that if it fails, Nigeria has no safety net. You can fall into severe poverty and never ever return. Thankfully I have very wonderful parents and a strong support base at home but not everyone has this. Abroad if your business or startup fails, you can always live on government benefits and then find a new job and gradually rebuild yourself. In Nigeria it's not even easy to get back into paid employment if you didn't succeed doing business and even if you did, it's very difficult to get any sort of job In Nigeria
How did you travel to Europe without a visa ? Abeg me Iโ€™m interested.

Haha how do you know no one's cheating? You literally said you can take out 50k daily and no one will easily notice. How do you know no one's been playing smart?


I said everything I said from experience. My family's been running different businesses since I was like 8. I've tried out some as well and currently in charge of one. I know the way it is.

Not everyone is out to cheat you. But it's extremely naive to employ 20 Nigerians in this country and climate and believe all of them will express loyalty if you pay and treat them right. Lmao. That's sooo funny.

Instead if you have money buy a site already generating cash and let it spit in more cash.








Are there really sites like that? If there is, why would anyone be willing to sell that? I sincerely wish to know if this is possible.

You think 300 content is easy abi?

That's one article everyday if you don't have a job.

Maybe some few million naira if you are to good writers..

Aside that not all articles will get indexed...

Then finally google update can still bring one back to zero....

My advice to every blogger is to have another side hustle that pays consistently.

What you want to believe is up to you.

If you like believe if you no believe no problem too after all mr sege go reset people brain.

You don't want to work hard but you want earn... Abeg believe what you will

It's hard to write one blog post a day.. why?

If you're writing on a niche you're passionate and knowledgeable about why can't you write a blog post a day.

I know why laziness and people who don't believe in the process.


Online business no dey work continue dey play come nairaland feel like a big boy but wish...

If wishes were horse beggers would ride.

Here on nairaland people are making money on kdp domain flipping but online business no dey work.

Continue infact it's better you believe it does not work because it's not for lazy people.

You need to constantly learn and unlearn option from facts.

If I write any blog post go.ogle MUST crawl and index my pages because I know what lazy blogger don't know.

Update only hit people who don't understand google guidelines...

Ask how many blogger read the Google guideline it's 1 in 1000.

I'm a big Darwin fan he majority is always wrong, the weak get eating.

Do a survey on nairaland here and ask how many read the guidelines

nobody read it and they want to succeed continue dey play

For those asking why will someone what to sell a site to go motion invest or flippa and empire flippa.

Many sites are being sold daily.

I'm not even a guru it's my first year of blogging because I hate working for clients.

The pay is great but you're trading your time for money.

Blogging is passive I write and display ads bring in the dough daily.

Still I can tell clients kiss my black behind.

Many of those who advice people to "invest" or "set up a business" are ignorant and not true entrepreneurs. Not everybody has a business mind. Two, the business climate in Nigeria is one of the worst in the world despite it's massive population. Your employees will frustrate you, Government policies will make things difficult for you, your customers/clients will be owing you money and the difficulty in obtaining loans from Banks will frustrate you. As someone rightly mentioned, only large scale businesses like Dangote Cement, Ibru business empire or small scale businesses like recharge cards, food vending or small chemist shops thrive in Nigeria.

If your business backfires and you have no back-up plan, you are finished.
