Bede2u: many of them do come back home after their education....they know that the opportunity they have in nigeria is far greater than what they have abroad number 2..maybe you are a nigger but i am not..the word nigger came out of slavery and has nothing to do with Africans living in Africa. i will write again..nations are developed by the people..the gabon you talked about is not developed like nigeria only the tourist sector because that is the means of their revenue.. PEOPLE COLLECTIVELY DEVELOPED NATIONS.. you dont know anything about the mining rate in Nigeria and keep cooking up stories... Gas is still not explored in nigeria..we are still the number 1 oil producing country in africa ..when it comes to external reserve... the people on top steals the reserve..so it is up to the people below to fight them since they are the majority high birth rates lead to the high population. the reason why China stopped the one-child policies wasn't about the economy but about having a balance between male and female..the govt noticed that many families were aborting their female child because they prefer male child. China has between 32 million and 36 million more males than would be expected naturally, and this has led to social problems. "Because of a traditional preference for baby boys over girls, the one-child policy is often cited as the cause of China's skewed sex ratio ... Even the government acknowledges the problem and has expressed concern about the tens of millions of young men who won't be able to find brides and may turn to kidnapping women, sex trafficking, other forms of crime or social unrest 2 Likes |

Piercy:Nobody has said you can't make money in Nigeria, what they have said is the statement(If Dangote wants to be the richest man in the world, he can do it because of resources) is misguided. The day your aunty decides to speak against her local government chairman is the day her Poultry farm is closed down and there's no idea you can think of to counter that. Two years ago, a close relative was making close to 30M in revenue monthly, now if they make 10M they rejoice. What are the problems aside the recession? Infrastructure, the road to their warehouse is bad and they now spend double on monthly car repairs, in the guise of fixing the road, they dug gutters along the road so at a point, Trucks could not enter the warehouse so they had to hire more loaders which isn't cost effective. If you apply for a Fintech license from CBN and a director is against you, your chances are slim to none of getting that license which means your Idea is dead on arrival. The problem with starting a business in Africa is that you subject to the mood of people in power and to some people, its not worth the stress. Business is all good in Nigeria until you have to deal with the Government. There's a reason why an idea can be copyrighted and that's because you are not the only one with that special idea. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Beautyaddy: I have a feeling you don't live here maybe because of your exaggeration, it's either this or you might be frustrated(no offense pls) It's good for people to migrate, I wish they will, we need to reduce our population by more than half to have some breathing space, right now every where seems so crowded. It's time for people to migrate to other less populated climes |

Bede2u: Banning polygamy won't do anything. Regulating the number of kids a family should have is the only solution. There are people with 10 kids and they are not in a polygamous relationship. |

sonnie10: sir, a few issues I and a guy initially had last year , to be factual it was hell lol and in the end we missed out on it , I can't say much but thankfully this is a team effort , we have been promised to be assisted by a company who turned up for a software expo where I and my friends/team were opportune to go , I think this is the biggest part really but I know things will go well , they have been in touch as we have that's all the encouragement we need. |

Piercy: Just stumbled upon this thread. I'm a software developer also and I've been there too but truth be told, Nigeria isn't ready for tech startups. I'd advise you not to waste your time, talent and effort waiting for people to invest in your idea; make moves first, get experience and work with people at both national and international level, it will help you a lot. I hope you get to understand this very soon. 1 Like |

Beautyaddy: Lol are you aware that we have 36 States in Nigeria? and each one is unique with different living experiences? for example Lagos is chaotic but Osun, Nassarawa, Bauchi, Kwara and many others are not? commuters might spend hours on the road in Lagos but travel 1km in 20mins in some other state? what I'm trying to say is this, forget Lagos, living conditions in some states is cool, just explaining this because I know you don't live here |
Re: Just Before You Leave Nigeria by Nobody: 8:20pm On May 06, 2019 |
flourishing247:There will always be an alternative. Many Nigerians are not ready so why will I waste my time on them. Nigeria is a frustrated country with ruthless people they call politicians that do not care. Even if I try to make it work, the people are not ready hence they are comfortable with their suffering. No light, no portable drinking water,no good roads, poor health care delivery and poor education. |

You are really making sense my guy. I'm currently based in US. There are lot of prodects that I see advertised on TV here that will definitely kill it in Nigeria. The products I see guys defent at Shark Tank TV series will really make a big waves in Nigeria. Piercy: |
Re: Just Before You Leave Nigeria by PatryG: 8:46pm On May 06, 2019 |
The problem with us to start with is that we are sincerely devoid of creativity and believability. We only see the wrong side of things. Business people who are millionaires and billionaires in US go to China to manufacture their designed products and bring it back to states to assemble Most of us who have made some success abroad want to go back to Nigeria to become Senator, Rep or Governor. We don't want to think about investment opportunities with our newfound success. |
