Not every part of Lagos is expensive.

What happens to starting small??

1m is more than enough to start a business in lagos but ladies want do show off business.

I no a lady who makes over 500k every month on her nylon business and this cost 200k capital to start.

₦1m is more than enough to start up a business without renting a shop but if you want to get a place especially in a busy part of town where you'll make good sales. More than half of that money will go into renting it and putting the place together. This has nothing with being pompous or wasteful, it's just the reality of the situation we found ourselves in this country

You are right but i dont think toxicity is the man here, the guy is probably not expose enough, infact i think Poverty background is the problem

Someone well raised with money will not wail in 2025 over 1m to do business, owo iphone 14 one piece

You are the one with poverty mentality, lets tweek the scenario, if you are given a grant of 1 million as w broke man by your girlfriend for business will your response be same with hers? If you say it's different then something is fundamentally wrong with you.

She is telling you the truth and you are complaining abi you want her to start hawking ?

Na the same people

She's right, the money is enough to start a business without renting a shop. I don't know about other states but in Lagos, neighbourhood shops now go between 8-10k per month. Shops in busy areas, bus-stops and market places go for much higher and most landlords ask for 2 years rent upfront. The spending won't be on rent alone, she'll need to furnish the shop with chair, table, counters, shelves etc and make it look attractive to customers. She's only telling you the reality of things but you're here poverty shaming her. You strike me as the toxic abusive husband who will treat your wife like you're doing her a favour by marrying her. How I wish she can open her eyes and see how better she'll be far away from you.

Shame on you for typing this trash as a woman.. Women who are supposed to be prudent and frugal. Yet you are here typing the first rubbish that comes to your mind to feel like you're intelligent.
If you one million naira cannot start a business for you, is it 100million that would start it for you? You strike me as one of those materialistic leeches waiting for a rich Messiah to come and pick you while you spend your days shopping and squandering money you didn't work for.

Cowbell521:

For someone who being offered help it is wasteful and pompous her.

I stay in ikorodu.....she will conveniently get shop for 200-300k in a relatively busy place.

Itamaga round about were a sis sells home appliances her rent is 200k per year and she makes good sales.

Not everyone will sell in major market.....for someone like her she doesn't have a choice than to start from even hawking if possible.

Shop shouldn't be her problem but what she want to sell

OKOATA:
But Natasha a woman like you was empowering others, how many have you empowered. Ordinary small empowerment can change a person's life totally. So 1M can't rent a shop or do anything at all? So even person wey won sell okrika, frozen food business, even POS can't start with 1M? Then you yourself is a waster in real life.

this girl na stupid person.nobody raises money for a serious person to start business.my family no no as I take raise money wey I take first go abroad from there I blow.There are certain things someone will say or do u know say the person no Dey destined to make am for life.Go and read about the story of this billionaires.they all started small.naija dead girls want u to rent a shop and put ac for them inside.very useless girls.no womder real guy men no Dey marry them.Deacon famous my guy quietly go Marry Ghanaian

idahme:
It is very shameful.

Go to Nigerian universities, women are in majority but will graduate and be begging from one place to another in the name if relationships

Its their right to beg and live off men...since they are "giving" men vagina and birthing kids they also want in the first place..

TheBreastSucker:
Natasha was not doing it with her personal money but government money given to her as allocation for constituency projects

go and read about natasha she started helping people before she got into govt

u Dey reply women wey be ashawo?who 1m no reach 1b no go reach am

GloriousGbola:
95% of those shops imho are just something the man does to keep his wife occupied. ask any man whose wife has a shop when last they did actual audit of the shop records. in fact if you do it, madam may start to para.

there is no way any such shop can actually grow , especially as there are likely 10 more within a 100m radius

The women that runs chains of shops and fly out for biz, na you dey manage the shops for them?


Some women have biz acumen more than their husbands.
If I'm in Nigeria,I will be running a wholesale distribution with ease.

There are men who can't manage 4 by 4 shop no matter how many millions you inject in.
Take it easy with your generalisation.

Ok, if it happens to be me, being a Man, i wont sound ungrateful, if thats the Max i cant get from my gurlfriend, i will switch to lower businesses i know 1m can sort
collecting a shop is out of it

My level will also influence how low i can go ... i am a man i will cut the gurl some slacks

DCmonster:
Even after reading what the OP posted, this is what you came up with.
Chai an average Nigerian girl has a very low IQ.
Simple question you narrated a whole bullshit trying to gaslight yourself.

Are you minding the shegoat..

Even if we go by her own analyses... 10k per month for 2 years rent is 240k. Let say you do everything about the shop for 450-470k... Are we saying there is not one single business in Nigeria where one can invest 530k-550k as cost of goods?

Allwell96:
how about starting with what's available. A woman is know to be a good manager of resources (good woman I mean).

Can you rent a shop and equip it in this present Nigeria with 1m.

1m is like 1k pounds.
Haba.

SUGARCyprian247:
1 M can’t start any business

Unless na POS

However, if 1M is all you can afford she is supposed to understand and start small with you

You people keep sounding more and more silly without even realising it.

First you say 1m CANNOT start ANY business.. then you turn around and say UNLESS it is POS business. Can you just fvcking stick with ONE? Is POS business a type of business or not?

Osanoghodua1:
Depending on the mature of business, 1M is not Money in this economy. Let her learn a skill it will be better off. I know how much I spent buying my wife machines and even rent and recapitalizing. Don't be fooled by women haters.

Thank you.

Although it was a hypothetical narrative, the op didn't factor in if she has biz acumen. Not everybody is gifted to be a trader. She might do best learning a skill.

chidiokay:
If your mentality is yahoo boys are the only ones seeing money then Bro you are not in a beta environment,

My "mechanic" has over 1m in his account, Fact! so whats the problem if not poverty

in 2006 i did diploma in unilag with about 500k paid cash , 19yrs after you think i will give credence to 1m amidst this economic reality

thats why i said upbring and exposure matters alot as to how people view and handle issues.

i dont have 1m in my account, but i wont disparage a gurl for saying 1m cant rent and stock a shop inside this economic

With all due respect sir you're talking nonsense!!
Tell me the diploma programme in unilag that cost 500,000 naira in 2006 or just kindly shut the hell up.

Your response seems quite different why is that so? You didn't reason this way for the woman, this is the singular reason most women aren't are entitled and feels the society owe them but in actual sense they are adults who should be responsible and accountable for themselves, whatever they any gives.m should be a privelage and should come with a grateful heart.

I have observed that broke people who are entitled and don't see sacrifices people do for them don't usually successful even if they are given big amount. When i was broke if i see someone who will give me s million as a grant not even a loan i would literally worship that person for life, that i see more than that in a month now doesn't make it worthless for broke people to start with. There aare folks who will work to increase that amount by the end if the year.

Reeks of entitlement... on someone's money oo, why her papa no give her 1m if it's easy to come by, women Full market shops with even less than 500k and making at least 100k per month, that woman and you na doom to any uprising young man!

The dude is right, you are not smart wt all. A broke lady waiting for 20 million before she starts w business will never succeed in life. Lets reverse the scenario, if you as a broke guy a lady that wants ro marry you offers you 1 million to start a business would your response be this? I guess if your frontal lobe is working currently you will see how weird it is to churn out the above. Entitled people don't usually go far, come out from that Whatsapp group.

N/B nobody owes you nothing in life, you are an adult reason like one and accept accountability and responsibilities for yourself, people been benevolent is just an addition and not a right.

There are many unthinking people in this world today. I guess it's one of the damages of excessive consumption of meaningless social media Contents

Sonnobax15:

She's right...

1m presently in Nigeria can't do no shiit .

Here in Ughelli where I'm,only store rent+ wicked agents fees go collect half of that 1m.......So she's definitely right bro..

Rubbish excuse!... una just get ojukokoro and wants to form madam on a struggling man's hard earned money, there's shops that are cheap inside the market, start from there!, commonising 1m like you gave him any, mtcheeww

Jesuspistol:
Both of you lack harmony in your plans and thoughts. You're both right and wrong. She shouldn't have sounded that way at all, infact, she should have appreciated that amount from you, then she should try to raise the other little amount she might need perhaps from her savings or she could meet those she has relationship with within and outside her family.

On the other hand, depending on the business you both agree about, some shops alone cost almost that 1m talkless of the goods to fill it up with. That must be why she spoke that way

She could meet those she has relationship with within and outside her family.......So u want her to start selling her kpekus to those old guys she was hanging around with b4 she got married bah....lol...hahahahaha

Bobodee09:
Someone who doesn't have money must only have eye for starting small.


There are many businesses out there she can start with even 200k but most ladies want to show off.

Swallow pride ,hustle hard and grow.

1m is more than enough to start a business for someone who has sense.

That's their problem, always raising their hands where e no reach on someone's pocket oo, money their Papa no fit afford!

Letmecum:
Oga how 1millon wan take rent shop and stacked it up with goods. My friend give his newly wedded wife 5m to start a business renting of shop is not included. Oga u go start business with 1m abi na garri and yam u wan buy for the shop. Rawbish

Why her Papa no give her the money!?, all fingers are not equal, 1m is enough to start something, go learn hardwork, all of una just put eyes for man money, THIEVES!, same man to even respect and submit to him na problem for una, umu ogwugwu oge.

Sirchiboy:
I asked a lady I want to marry that if i give her 1m to start a business.
Hmmm she told me 1m cant start any business with a shop.
Someone that have not seen 1m in her life saying this.
Please guys if you have such lady in your life never make a mistake to wife her or she will put you in a chronic debt.
You will never achieve anything in life if you marry such girl

If she's not working or have ambition to work with her educational qualifications, make she go learn HANDWORK!, you personally know how tough it is to make that money in present Nigerian economy... make love no make you go mumu oo, you'll suffer!, and once you drop and she senses it, issues will emanate and you'll regret, use head now oo, better dump her!

VicM6:

Relationship is not always about sex. You should learn more about human relationship guy. It can lift you really high in life and give you opportunities with great people. Don't be a mumu

Are women like her and u disabled?? Adults that went to school can't make something out of ur lives ...what a shame .... must u depend on a man to be able to make something out of ur lives ?? Did any woman give that her man money to start a business?? This is so shameful that u women are so shameless that u feel entitled to a man's money like u are disabled or illiterates... even disables and illiterates are making millions from the scratch... how can that business even be successful when u didn't make the money urself ... u will end up running it down and still expect the man to recapitalise it ... I really dey shame for u women... that shows that sending women to school is a waste of money ... a father will spend millions training his daughter, onlyvfor her to graduate and now be depending on men to feed or take care of her and her family...an adult woman that's a graduate and not disabled, una no de shame ooo

Virtually 85% of all women who are graduates fall into this category!, after school dey go start to look for rich man to marry them... answering graduates for mouth and ordinary paper certificates, depicts marriage is the highest achievement for women, but dey go still dey lie and deceive themselves, when we see it everytime... omo better to marry a lady who has handwork, because she knows the worth of even 2k than all these spoilt brats with certificates seeking for equality untop of a man's money, God punish devil, na mumu men dey fall for that scam!, marrying a woman with handwork is the best for now!

Do you know u can start a gas station in front of your house or in a simple shop without furnishing with 1m? Must it be a business u buy furniture? Have seen countless businesses started with 1m and they a blooming
