Nigerian Businessman Sold Everything And Left The Country (Before & After) by nlfpmod(mod): 9:55am On May 21
Before Japa Vs After Japa:

Joseph, like many young Nigerians, wanted to build a business and thrive in Naija. He was committed to his business and with the money he pulled together, he launched two mini LPG (cooking gas) plants in Ife, Nigeria.

Wholesale gas prices skyrocketed from ₦300,000 per ton in 2021 to over ₦1.4 million, but he tried to keep retail prices as low as he could to remain affordable and competitive. His working capital multiplied nearly 5 times in five years with no matching profit growth.

He sold everything and left the country.

His story is relatable. Hundreds of thousands of young people raise money and start businesses. But when prices increase multiple fold within a short period, they have no financial war chest to withstand the pressure till things normalise. They simply close or sell at a loss.

I need more people to talk about how this system has messed up their dreams so our leaders can see rice is not enough. They need to wake up and start doing more to sustain businesses.

Look at his eyes as a business man, looking so stressed without rest. Yet progress was not viable. See him now.

It is not life that we are living in Nigeria.

Oga show us what you've achieved abroad - your assets and net worth.

These pictures look the same, just a shower and change of raiment.

UK is over rated. First of all he didn't make the right call, going abroad without proper enquiries and thorough thought process is like getting a McDonald's burger with no buns.


You are going abroad, your last work experience is a pump attendant. Who will take this one seriously. I hope UK gets more right wingy and voot out all these
le immigrantes.


Back to mud hut y'all crude oil emjoyers.

At least he’s learned the basics of hard work. It’s very needed in the white man’s land. There, what you put in is what you get in return.

The picture looks fake to me. I’m guessing it’s an AI background, hence the lack of shadows cast.

Nigeria took a hit immediately after COVID-19 then got worse May 29th 2023 when Emilokan got on board cry.
I personally lost two businesses at those times.
I wanted venturing into LPG but grateful I didn't venture into it 📌💯.

Which picture shows he is happier?

Speak the truth, Nigeria is like hell on earth. Other Africans have hope, but Nigerians are battling it every now and then on daily basis. Check your health statistics and economic indices, it's all awashed with hopelessness. Don't allow APC lie to you. They're agents of darkness.
Re: Nigerian Businessman Sold Everything And Left The Country (Before & After) by ukukaegbu(m): 2:16pm On May 22
No difference in the pictures I'm seeing there.

Just wearing working clothes in one picture and church clothes in the other.

Re: Nigerian Businessman Sold Everything And Left The Country (Before & After) by Samantha125(f): 2:20pm On May 22
But he still looks the same, the only difference is the outfits.
Re: Nigerian Businessman Sold Everything And Left The Country (Before & After) by SmartPolician:
Anyone who says leaving Nigeria and relocating to the west isn't better is just deceiving himself!

The only reason why anyone should be in this country is when the likes of Tinubu and his brigand stop ruling this country; those folks have no iota of conscience.

Until then, the best bet is to flee and observe Nigeria from afar.
Re: Nigerian Businessman Sold Everything And Left The Country (Before & After) by Willy2025: 2:21pm On May 22
I know him very well. I used to fill my gas cylinder from him. Is this a transformation 😅😅😅. He sold his gas plant with over 100 cylinders. This is a mere shower and a change of clothes. Even the cloth na from Ile-Ife tailor cheesy.
