Una go cry taya.

Lagos is Bini land and only Binis can ask us to leave

whitejs:


Lol
Who is the governor of the land

richeeyo:

They advise you truthfully on nairaland but in a foolish way, don't take it for granted
Accommodation and shop would kill you before you even start

Meerahbel:
Dear Ebube,
It a good thing you want to start a business, but it obvious you barely have knowledge of this business.

The business has been in existence since BC and would continue be because people cannot do without food, irrespective of the economic conditions people must eat.

There are 2 branches of food business I am aware of
1. Raw food business (selling grains, rice, garti, beans, crayfish, egusi, frozen food etc)
2. Cooked food e.g Mama put or Buka as it called in local parlance

Which ever you decide, look for a mentor who's in the business in your current location, learn as much as you can before venturing into your own food business. It must not be Lagos, food business sell every where and any where.

All the best.

Hi guys my name is Ebube I finished secondary school 7year ago ever since then I have been working and saving money so I can be able to start up a business of my own currently I stay in kogi all my life but I'm from Ebonyi state .

So recently my uncle sold the family land and gave me part so currently is have some reasonable naira and I plan to leave for Lagos soon but I have little issues on how to go about. So I have nobody to help or lead me in Lagos I'm just going there on my own to start a business so my question.

1.How do I go about it ?
2. I plan on selling foodstuff ?
3. Which area and market will be conducive for
me to start this business.

Please I really need your advice . Your opinion matters alot

OfficialAPCNig:
Come to Lagos.

No fear.

A lot of your brothers are here, especially in Ikorodu. And they are making it.

Save the money in a deposit account, come to Ikorodu or go to Sagamu, learn food stuff business or phone accessories for three months.

Find a shop in a good location, if possible near Yoruba Abule (village). Set up your business and cash out.

Repatriate the money home and establish another business in Abakiliki.

Once you start making money, Yoruba ladies will start flockin around you. Avoid them. They are destroyers.

When you are ready to marry, head back to the East and marry a hard working lady.

Ebonyi ladies are hardworking so finding one won't be much of a problem.

Don't build a house in Yoruba land, if you must build, make ensure its within an areas Yoruba are living so that if the government decides to demolish the properties, it won't be only ours.

I entered Lagos with less than #5000 after paying for a night bus from Owerri.

Today, a lot of these Nairaland ronu terrorists can't lace my shoe.

Lagos is God's compensation to Ndi Igbo for the atrocities Yoruba ancestors did to Ndi Igbo during the war.

So come to Lagos.

Pursue, overtake, and recover without fail.

If you want to succeed in Lagos, don't join Yorubas and be doing cultism. Also, be careful. They can owe for Africa.

😂😂😂

fecozy365:
I'll advice you leave money out of this first, go to lagos and learn the trade for like a month or two before you can think of involving money. i have a friend that is into foodstuffs in ibeju lekki, he's even from ebonyi state. i can introduce you to him for you to ask any question about the foodstuffs business and if you can learn under him.

Dikastan:
Come to Onitsha and do the business,Lagos is over hyped. We have markets and the population here in Onitsha to give you bumper sale. Lagos will frustrate you with endless demolition of markets and tribalistic discrimination. In case you later decided to go to Lagos,never you invest one Kobo there. Don't ever buy land there even if they are selling it five naira. Do your business and think home. If you want to come to Onitsha,I will assist you without collecting Kobo from you.

Segzy19:
When we tell them that their people can't make it without stepping into southwest they will start barking like a rabid dog...
You see, this one now about to fulfil one of his life ambitions which is to run down to Lagos...

Ebube or whatever you call yourself, my first advice to you is to stay back and develop your Ebonyi state.
However, if you still remain adamant to come, you are free to do so but on some conditions:
1. Do not commit crime in Lagos
2. Do not constitute nuisance in Lagos
3. Respect your host state and tribe
4. Don't ever have that mindset or join them to say your people developed Lagos or that Lagos is a no-man's land
5. Pay your tax

You see, once you meet these 5 conditions, you will prosper and reap the fruits of your labour...

Lagos welcomes all
Yoruba land is blessed ....😁😁😁😁

Elstan20:


I already said foodstuff business

Ngozi123:


With only 2 million, you'd be taking a huge risk going to Lagos. Go back to the South-East and invest in agriculture there. You're from Ebonyi State; that's a perfect place to start.

1x2x3:



You don't need any of those. Here is my advise which won't cost you much.

Forget about going to Lagos. Stay where you are if it would help you keep expense at the barest minimum. If you are not computer literate then go and register and learn all the basics, this won't cost you more than 20k.

Afterwards, go and learn a digital skill then get a laptop and venture into freelancing.

All your expenses won't be more than 300-400K.

DON'T MOVE ANYWHERE WITHOUT A SOLID ROADMAP.

Elstan20:


Be decieving yourself you all think that going to Lagos means I will be going to a part of it higher than my pocket

Keep fooling yourself

online4business:


Ebube ebube ebube na three times I call you ooo.

Go ebonyi buy bag of rice from mill come sell for kogi

If you follow my advice in two to three years you can travel to Lagos to do holiday.

House for kogi and Lagos 50-150 na face me I face you ooo.

Shop rent for kogi highest 100k Lagos go manage 400k

Security for kogi na to buy ogogoro for them #2000 highest Lagos you go pay police pay area boys pay security you to pay pay pay pay yet boys to still be boys.


Your 2.5m go finish before you even start the business sef.

Ngozi123:


No, I don't think that. I just think that your money could be better served in the East. Ebonyi State, where you're from, is great for agriculture and you said that you want to enter the food sector. With only 2 million, it just makes more sense to scope some farming land in Ebonyi, buy it and start your business from there.

Elstan20:
I want to leave my current location due to circumstances which I can't control and moreover business here is very slow

And I want to deal on raw and not cooked food

Elstan20:


All you said are lies I didn't remember telling you I want to go to a high market place I will go to where my money can start something
Not all places in Lagos has thier shop rent ranging from 400k na lie and not all houses in Lagos has their rent ranging from 150k too so stop with the unnecessary hype man .

I can't remember telling you I want to farm

OfficialAPCNig:

Ikorodu.

A lot of your brothers are here and they are doing well.

If you count 100 richest people (not politicians) in Ikorodu, Ebonyi people will occupy over 70.

That's how successful they are in Ikorodu.

iguita:
Oga, you are an Igbo man. The Igbos have the best apprentice system in the world, or let me not exaggerate, in Africa.

Look for someone who does what you want to do, spend 2 years learning under someone who has experience.don’t mention that you have money to start up.

After you have built experience then you can invest this scarce resource you have.

Darkandhandsom:
I'd advise you buy a Keke and start driving there in Kogi or move to Ebonyi, buy a Keke and drive. That's the best thing I'll say to you. But if you don't mind to come to Abuja, there are local markets around you can sell foodstuffs. I can accommodate you but not for long. Rent here around dutse is 150k you can get 200k for self con then establish yourself. I won't help you with feeding apart from the accommodation. If that is OK by you, buzz me if not I'll advise you to get a Keke and drive
