Which means you prefer Abuja to Lagos ?

sunbilor:
Yes Sir.

travelland:

People should leave where they make daily bread so they can sleep and starve through the day? Lagos offers livelihood to many na, it won't change in the near future

Buy the stuffs you came for and back to your comfortable state, people will always be in Lagos cause there is money to be made and lots of entertainment for poor and rich. You can even move to Benin/Togo or Ghana easily for weekend, if you are the type then back to work again on Monday. Journey mercies back home to you.

SingleDaddy:


Okay. Thanks for the advice. I would leave bus conductor work to those it fits

SingleDaddy:


I'm looking for a place to start up a business and maximize profits and returns within a short period, therefore channeling every possible energy into the business at hand.

Importation of foreign doors is what i intend to start with, and currently, Lagos is filled with importers who are into the same line of business. They tend to generate competition.

On the other hand, where in Abuja can such a business be located, and what's the minimum house rent fee?. Thank you very much for your time and reply ma

Augustap:

Okay

NwanyiAwkaetiti:
You could get plaza offices in wuse 2. Abuja is expensive o but if you package and gain Hausa clients, you'll really make it. There are one room apartments for 300k sha

SingleDaddy:


Everybody seems to talk about how expensive Abuja is. If that is the case, would it be advisable to move business there?.

Someone pointed out that a plaza might be close to 1-1.5million per year.

SingleDaddy:


But in case i get a bus, I go call you for the conductor work?.

deebsman1:

All this fallacies of Abuja is more calm, you can't compare the lekki experience with ejigbo experience fact. Majority of all those people always shouting Abuja, Abuja where are they staying at Abuja? Mararaba, Karimo, Kubwa, Lugbe and the likes and if you're living in any of those satellites towns of Abuja, your experience can never be better than that of someone rocking Isolo or Egbeda.
I think when bringing the Lagos Abuja argument, the particular areas of both cities should always be put in context. Maitama experience is like Ikoyi experience, while Asokoro experience could be like for Ikeja GRA experience or Wuse experience to Lekki experience and so on

Augustap:

Then who'll manage my company... I fit fall commot for the bus sef .
I'll pass

NwanyiAwkaetiti:
You know what? Come down here and look around, check out office and likeable places to live. Hope u have a relative in Abuja.?

SingleDaddy:


You must be the conductor for my bus business , don't worry, I will manage my business and yours, while you conduct the bus for me

Augustap:

I'll beat you oh

CoolFreeday:



Every part of Abuja is calm including the satellite towns you mentioned. I've live in both cities and I know the difference between the 2.

SingleDaddy:


Thank you very much for the detailed information at no cost. I salute you.

But between the following suburbs in Abuja : Apo, Gudu, Lugbe, Kubwa , which is much more suitable, with a promising future for the business.

In regards to the website, i would need your contact information. Hope your charge are not neck cutting?.

Every other advert strategies you listed above are top notch and impressive, i really appreciate them. But what will be will be, if you know , you know

But rent fee seems to be expensive at the city centre

deebsman1:


Maraba Nyanyan is cool? DeiDei is cool?? Funny.... I've not only in both, but still always shutting between the two.

CoolFreeday:



my cousin live in Abacha road in Mararaba, that place is as calm as anything. Very serene.

deebsman1:

Mararaba the oshodi of Abuja, wait till dem snatch phone from outside bus, then, you go know say boys are not smiling

As long as you are not doing a 9-5 job I strongly advice you to sit your ass down in Lagos. You are not going to end up with just foreign doors business because Lagos would open your eyes.

Plan your trips and drive time in Lagos and you are fine, also remember Lagos has little or no traffic on the weekends especially on the Island.

With the massive sea port in Lagos, you walk into Apapa port and you are out straight to the waiting market. You are eliminating the dangers of theft and accident moving all your goods from Lagos port to Abuja.

If you are returning back to Nigeria with enough capital then Lagos is your number 1 stop destination considering your username as a single dad coming for business. Your business needs to thrive for you to enjoy a good standard of living, so living in Kubwa with not much business going on is a very wrong economical move. You can live/run your business in Lagos and build your clientele in Abuja and then consider moving to Abuja once you hold your ground. Be futuristic my friend, think of business diversification.

There are cool places to live in Lagos like Surulere, Ikeja, Maryland, private estates in Gbagada. Also I bet you don’t want to miss out on all the owambe party invitations as a young CEO.

The air in Lagos is bad for those who need to jump on an okada from Ipaja to Meiran or from Oshodi to Isolo, not for a CEO like you cruising in your AC locked up car. The traffic in Lagos is terrible between 5am- 8am, 4:30pm-9pm considering we don’t have enough intra-city buses, city center congestion charges for cars and poor road infrastructure. With the Lagos project on revamping transportation and the rolling out of enough buses, I see the Lagos state government introducing congestion charges in some key areas, drop your cars and use the city buses or be ready to pay congestion charges and high parking fee to drive to office on the Island.

85% of road users office workers are already in their offices by 8am, so you can stroll to your office like a boss by 9am and get out by 4pm, if you know you know and by 8pm all the joints are beckoning at you at every corner bursting your brain with legbegbe crooner.

Lagos is life of the party, Abuja is a solitary confinement, only you can decide how you want to enjoy your 30’s and 40’s.

Apo and Gudu is my best bet because they have close proximity to the city centre. As for the website, I will give it to you at a modest price with 6 months free update! I just sent you a PM.

SingleDaddy:


I'm just seeing this. God bless you sir for the information. Your advice sound so convincing and truthful.

But what are the security risks of Lagos. Security is key sir

SingleDaddy:


Are you on WhatsApp with that number?. WhatsApp would be better.

olaboy1:


Security has improved drastically in Lagos in the last 5-10yrs. Avoid living in places with very low income earners, places like Iyano Ipaja, Ajegunle, Ikorodu, Iyano Iba, Agric, Sango ota.

Adeniran Ogunsanya and Bode Thomas are good places to live within the Surulere axis, whilst Gbagada is also secured and very close to Lagos Island with just the 3rd mainland bridge separating them. With a budget of 650k to 1.2m annually on rent you should be fine with security in all the safe areas I’ve mentioned.

I was wondering about this over hyped stuff you kept repeating.

Did you go to the Market alone as a first timer in Lagos? That's a mistake, you won't get a good bargain. Do you know that there are major matkets for all items or goods? For example for Dubai fashion wears, US, Turkey and China,
For second hand fashion items and even jewelries.There are major markets for autoparts, food product, electronics, computer, etc.

Refuse disposal and sewage management is only good in rich areas and organized estates, many markets are terrible at managing their refuse, hence the odor

I've not encountered private vehicles being extorted, most LGs allow the collection of these money by the area boys from commercial buses/cyclists, it's like tax payment (which I don't support) even some police are involved.
Mushin is among the roughest areas na, so what do you expect? You won't see that in some other areas

Lagosians survive by making money na business thrives here.

Nobody should hype Lagos for you o, it's a commercial state where most people are after money.
