There are uncountable reasons why its cheaper and easier to do business or buy goods from Onitsha. I may not wirte all but will give the basic ones

1.Proximity
Onitsha is a commercial city with less land mass. You can move across the city within 30mins. The various markets in the city is not far from each other thereby offering you the convenience to do Biz in the city. For example ,moving from main market to building material market takes only 10mins and can cost N100 for transport.

2. Large Concentration of importers/Varieties
The markets in onitsha has importers in virtually all items. That is why it is easy to find and buy almost all the varieties of items u might need here. Also it makes the prices affordable. There are some items you can buy cheaper in onitsha than in lagos even though all cargos and shipments come almost through lagos ports. There are different markets for different items. Eg main market( for general goods- clothes,articles, phones,accessories), building material market, Shoe site market, Stockfish market, aluminium profiles markets, spare parts market etc.
U can get varieties of any type of goods u desire. remember what they said about variety being the spice of life

3. Affordable freight/ Transportation
This is one of the areas onitsha has a higher advantage over other commercial cities. Here in onitsha, u can get transport vehicles/lorries going to virtually all parts and states of Nigeria and even outside Nigeria like Cameroon, Ghana etc. Its not only availability but also its cheap and affordable. For example you can send goods or package from onitsha to Sokoto, Kano, Yola, etc at the cost of N1000. While sending goods from a location in lagos to another location in lagos costs same amount.Its so because there are many transport companies that transverse through Nigeria here in onitsha. For example, going from Onitsha to Sokoto which is a very far distance can take u only 10hours in a luxury bus. So u can come to onitsha from sokoto to buy goods and be back at sokoto the next day. Do u know u can go to lagos from Onitsha via a bus with N2000 if u dont hwve muchnmoney to board regular bus. Just go to asaba from onitsha and board a bus. And so with other locations throughout Nigeria

4. Good Infrastructure/Hospitality sector.
Thanks to the government of Peter Obi, onitsha has well inter connected roads. Also other amenities like schools, hospitals, hotels. You can get very good hotels at a cheaper rates. Even house rent in onitsha is generally cheap. You can get a 3bedroom flat for N240,000 The city is also well secured due to the empowerment of the various security agencies. Financial institutions like banks are scattered everywhere in the city. So getting money is easier.
This town does not encounter communal or sectorial crisis so there is peace.

5. Affordable goods
As I said earlier that Onitsha has a cluster of many importers. This makes it easy to buy goods at cheapest rate than elsewhere in Nigeria. Except foodstuffs that is generally brought down from north to east, virtually u can buy all other items at the most affordable rate here.

6. Cheap Rent
Generally its no news that rent in Onitsha is generally cheaper than most locations in Nigeria. You can get monthly shop rents ranging from N3000 - N30000 in big markets here. Even house rent comes cheap too compared to other locations. N180000 can get you a comfortable 2 or 3bedroom flats in the heart of the city. Such amount may get you only a self con apartment in lagos.

I love what you are doing sir. We need to let the world know about the huge commercial and industrial activities going on in Onitsha and Anambra State. We need both drone and normal pictures of those Onitsha markets listed, so that a thread about list of Onitsha markets with proper description of each market and their images will be made and published on both nairaland and other platforms, so that it will be available to any future investor or Onitsha/Anambra markets patronizer

As for the Onitsha/Anambra population figures, you should know by now that it's manipulated. Anambra has the second highest population in Nigeria after Lagos, but northerners will rate Kano higher. It's our fault for not projecting our own state, cities, population figures, commercial status all these years

last saturday i decided to visit the OGBO OGWU INT MARKET which is d bjggest patent drug market in Nigeria, i wanted to get some nose masks for some relatives, i discovered,dt,d bulk of d masks has been bought by chinese people,in onitsha and was,shipped back,to china in january, just few of d masks,re,still in d market and d sellers has also,increased d prices astronomically, well dts biz for u, one can become a multi billionaire over night if such opprtunity knocks,on,d,door, imagine someone who,have a million,pcs of this item dt,use to,sell,at,400naira for a,pack of,50pcs, now,selling at 4k for d,same pack,of,50pcs
, such also happened when tramadol,and codeine,were made,contraband, those dealers for,d,msrket made huge money,some built many houses from the extra large profit they made

so the OGBOWGU MARKET is where u can get all ur drugs, hospital ,and surgical equipment in bulk, its located at UGA junction before u reach niger bridge most northern and,southern states,buy their medicines from this market, if u re opening a,pharmacy or chemist this,is where u should come to,purchase ur goods,in lrder,to make good profit

just as i said before just start small. dont use greed to start a new biz. u can buy few samples and test in ur area. i remembered when i started biz years back. i use to buy few pieces of any item and then know d ones dt people liked more and sold out fast. for instance if u re interested in fashion like mens jeans. u can come to d market and pick a piece or two of different designs and material u think is good and move. when u sell them then u can come back and buy bundles of those ones dt people in ur area liked more. u dont just wake up and enter market and start buying bundles of jeans dt u dont know if it can move for u

i received lots of chats asking almost same thing. its only courageous people dt re ready to take d bold step of starting something.dont stay and be having fears. start trying sth , if one fail d other might work. dts why i its good to start small. also dont spend much of ur money trying to package or beautify ur shop. u can even start from ur home or office or a small inexpensive shop. just make sure u have varieties of goods. thats what ur customers will be more interested in.dont spend all ur m oney acquiring a luxurious place for ur biz. i remembered a guy i use to read his thread dt started a phone and gadget shop in ibadan. at a time he started spending much in beautifying his shop while he has less goods in his counter. these days i dont know if he is till in biz. here in onitsha u can see a very small shop but if u re told d amount and volume of transaction dt goes inside it u will shudder. am not saying u have to be in a tacky place but invest more in ur goods/ if people in d same market wit importers are making it and making good profit how much more u that is a far market with less competition.

Wise words.
Thanks so much for your leadership sir. That’s why when I see people on NAIRA land asking what business can I do with 150k and some people will be saying it’s too small I will just be wondering. Sometimes having too much money can be a problem if you don’t have experience with learning how take the right steps in business- you will just blow it up on the wrong things. Start small, restategize, come back, try again.The road to success is not a straight line.
