Thank you so much.

Do people still make it big in business HERE IN NIGERIA? Honestly, I don't even know. Please let me summon another great businessman @BobUgee I met via this my thread here on Nairaland to help me answer this your question. I just hope he's still active here though.

But if I were to attempt the question to avoid scoring F9, I'd say that I've observed that doing business in Nigeria is a real battle against principalities and powers. Lol.

I dare say that anybody that succeeds in business in this country will excel in every other part of the world. I guess that's why Igbo businessmen excel all over the world because they've been thoroughly baked inside Nigeria's business oven. Then cooked, then fried and then roasted. Chai! Odiro easy chaa chaa.

Worse of all is when people laugh and ask you, "Na this thing you go dey do marry wife, buy motor, come build house?" And then you see them few months or a year later actually marrying, buying cars and building houses from the proceeds of yahooyahoo, 419 or through other illegal means. (sighs)

Na God go help us true true. Because if I go make money anyhow-anyhow or by any-which-way, I fit gain everything but I go lose my soul. And how much is my soul worth? 1million? 10million? 1billion? In naira, dollars or pounds?

I have Been following your story. I will advice you have an Instagram page and follow women in Enugu page to have massive deals. one man in my Villa left Lagos for the village and ventured into mc form occasions for big men today he now has DJ units. canopies and tents for hire. decorators and even catering services. in all you do make it look posh and see how people will rush you. jisike

I would also advice you try Enugu town for a business. time waits for no man. don't be carried away by emotions of home first. environment matters a whole lot in been a successful business man it opens doors and opportunities. agriculture in Nigeria is not as profitable as they say. it requires huge funds and time to be profitable. you are only as rich as your customers. if your customers are village people I wonder how you plan to be a billionaire. use your tongue to count your teeth. it is either you offer services to the elite there like cow rearing or you move to a more economically viable location before living in the village will affect your mindset.

I like this and that's the truth. people are succeeding everyday in there different endeavor but what matters is the approach. it only a mad man that will be doing the same thing over and over and expecting different. packaging matters a whole lot in business. you just need to sell yourself differently

exactly. for someone with such knowledge and exposure like him I see no reason why he should be doing things the same way with those who are not so opportuned. he ought to be a box of advice in modifying services that can be done in the village if he so wishes to. e.g think of how to brand and bring innovations into palm wine. package it and sell to big men. grow your clientele into big towns and think of how to deliver it to them fresh and well packaged. you can also become the sole distributor of beer brands in your village for people to buy in cartons during traditional wedding. you can mount pos point for ATM card withdrawal and transfer.

Good morning everyone. I just remembered that I haven't announced my newest song here. So sorry.

I released ALLOWANCE last month August 2019. It's dedicated to terrorist-herdsmen but I did it in such a way that it's radio-friendly. Even them go dey dance to the song without knowing the meaning. Plus, you know the fear of Buhari's DSS is the beginning of wisdom in this country. Lol.

Good morning everyone. You people are still enjoying your Christmas chickens abi? Lol.

Well, I have another musical good news o! (Hmmm... That GOOD NEWS pun actually makes sense sha. Because this is a gospel song. And the gospel is good news).

Anyway, I got this song in my dream earlier this year on March 26th. I remember the date because I recorded the tune immediately on my phone so that I won't forget it. I was so honoured that God could bless me with such a beautiful tune. Honestly, I wish I could release exactly what I heard in my dream. It sounded so heavenly. Na that day I know sey music for heaven and earthly music no be mate at all. Chai!

Nevertheless, I tried my best to photocopy what I heard in my dream that day. That's what I have released today 26th December, exactly 9months after, as this song titled Kelewe Jesus.

GANFUWA teams up with Xris Fity and O.J to praise Jesus on a social, local and global level.
