Sadly it's evident in my area.
A once bustling area became a shadow of itself for several reasons.

That is the trademark of Bola Tinubu.

All he cares is to increase tax and collect more tax and levies not minding how business owners and their businesses are managing to stay in business with dying purchasing power of Nigerians as a result of his senseless stupid policies angry



Honestly, Tinubu has to go. In fact, 2027 seem too far for Tinubu to go, it ought to be next month angry

Suddenly you have this weak brief meaningless riposte. But when you see lies claiming zillions of dollars have been gained and that prices have divinely crashed, you will be prancing about like the slavish serpentine twisted toddler that you congenitally are.

You are one of the worst online characters one has ever witnessed, you are a curse to all people, to your family and to you country and you will perish in self contrived penury of the worst kind.

This is a huge achievement for a 'first-class graduate' accountant from Chicago state university.
It really shows that he is working.
Citizens purchasing power is now low.
Minister of power came out to educate us on how to manage unit.
Media assistant taught us to have multiple streams of income.
From high unemployment rate to high rate of
begging by the citizens...

Just mention one area that this government has impacted positively on the life of the citizens?


Tinubu is really working

Some of the major achievements of Tinubu's almost two year administration so far ...

Congratulations 🎉
Re: Over 7m Small Businesses Shut Down In 2 Years — NESG by MasterTeeUSA: 12:16am On Mar 11, 2025
It is too easy to start business in Nigeria. So,

1. Some enter into businesses they have no clue about
2. Some enter into businesses because they heard the nice things without the bad part
3. Some got lucky and got unplanned cash
4. Some just have no business in business

Solution
1. Govt needs to strengthen Start Up Business Agencies at the Federal and State Level.
2. Registration of Business should come with short video presentation on basic business practices in multiple languages
3. Business loans should be available to support businesses only after completing some classes - group classes at the local level
4. Pair new startups with mentoring programs and give tax breaks to business owners that mentor startups
5. Discuss the risks and dangers of opening businesses you have no clue about or alternate to businesses like investment in stocks or buying shares in businesses

Do not get me wrong...businesses open and close everywhere for these same reasons globally. My experience asking Nigerians show most are not really ready to start a business but they do so anyways against my advice ...then ask for support when they run into calamities.

So what should you look at before starting a business...

1. is the StartUp capital enough to generate a viable business?. A N500k may generate N50k a month and a N5m may generate N500k but if your shop rent is N500k...that first business will only generate N600k of which N500k will go into rent, more than N100k will go into transport and you will be running at a loss. The N5m business may have a rent of N2m per year but you will be spending only 33% to pay rent with enough funds to expand.
2. Is this a full time business or a side business? Some businesses are meant to be sidegigs not full time...which means you need other sources of income.
3. Calculate your other expenses...can your business sustain both business and personal expenses? If not, you will be eating the business profits to fund personal expenses.

That is enough for today. Have a blessed week
