It all depends on the business, what's the nature of the business

Do not waste your investment in Abuja, I repeat don’t waste your investment in Abuja. Abuja is a land of fake asses and packaging, go to Lagos and invest in business(that’s business land)

Re: Is Abuja Still Lucrative For Business? by sexylassie2(f):
If you are making your cash in your city, don't leave for abuja.

Abuja is not a business or hustling city.

For example, you can not compare computer village in Lagos with zone 3( abuja computer village) Or even the phone village in wuse market to computer village.

It is hard to find jobs for job seeker in abj even govt job is hard.

Abuja was built for civil servants and politics not business.

Lagos, PH, onitsha, Ariaria market(Aba) and kano are the commercial cities in Nigeria..the rest are doing catching up.

I run a business in a small city. Right now, I'm planning to relocate to Abuja (accommodation guaranteed) and possibly relocate my business to Abuja.

My concern is, with the attendant cost of living and running a business in Abuja, will I still be assured of high revenue and profit for my business?
Run to Lagos my sister not Abuja when it comes to business, do not come to Abuja for business, that’s a waste of investment. Fake ass everywhere

Calabar. And I'm into female luxury items.
Hehehehe..hunger na hin go khee u here o.

Na only Runz girls full here, those are the ones you can access. They dont have money, just enough for skimpy clothes.

The women that have money, you cant even access them. You only see them drive by in flashy cars, you cant go to their offices or homes, and you wont even be able to meet them in churches either.

Abuja is by connect and network,.someone must hold you by the hand and drsg along into a place, clique or gathering.

Perhaps in conferences amd exhibitions only, you can meet women who.have luxuty taste. But, problem is-you/yourself cant even be near those places, you wont even know such events held at Transcorp or Sheraton till you watch the highlights on TV.

Where do you intend to set up shop by way?

You can come and sell okrika or OK or used clothes in maraba, nyanyan, kubwa, one man village, dei dei, to women and you will see good money, but luxury items?

Which luxury item you wan come from Calabar come sell Abuja woman? Alhaji wife wey dey go Dubai every week? Or Senator girlfriend wey dey go Malay? Or women who have contacts in Lagos and Joburg?

You go trek tire,o,. Maraba, Nyanyan, Kubwa, Gwagwalada na hin sure for u pass

Oga please relocate your "Spare Parts" business to Ogun State.

Skull Mining is extremely prevalent in that axis. You will be overwhelmed with demand. Market will not move in Abuja.

Thank me later...

That a wrong notion please, Ogun state is the most industrlize state in Nigeria and one of the most peaceful in Nigeria, the people of Ogun state are welcoming, accomodating, peaceful and hardworking, every state have their own challenges and that should not be used as weakness.

Package yourself and your product well you go do well.

Abuja folks an mostly fake arses wey wan claim wet in dem no be.

Just package your business or product well you go appeal to a section wey wan belong to the nouveau rich at all cost.

Do not sell yourself or product cheap if you want appeal to this class.

Packaging is the word.
Good you know most of Abuja people especially young ones are fake ass people claiming to b what they not.

C'mon, be sincere with Op.

Abuja is mercilessly brutal to hustlers. Especially those starting small. I'm saying this out of first hand knowledge, cos I base in abuja too.

The people who have it smooth are mostly government and multinational workers.

Lagos is 100% more an ideal place for hustle than Abuja, unless you've the capacity to roll out financial big guns.

grin grin Guy you Sabi Abuja wella! Key to unlocking lucks for that town is given to only few by the almighty, most people you see that live the life there don already do there homework for states before coming, rents in Abuja makes the town exclusively for politicians and top level civil servants...not discouraging the o.p though, o.p best wishes to you as you journey to the artificial city of Nija..

Come and observe yourself at least for a week. Talk to the people who are already into the business In Abuja. The answers here can even make you depressed

Like the guy above stated, its mostly about what you're into. Bear in mind that Abuja population is about 3M and a huge chunk of that number are over 40.
So you work with the National Population Commission, or the National Bureau of Statistics to know that a huge chunk of that number are over 40. I would want to advise him to still come. There is no place one cannot make it in life. So long as you are determined, you can always climb life's ladder and eventually get to the top some day, regardless of the challenges you are anticipating here in Abuja. The world makes way for the man who knows where he is going.

Depending on where you want to sell in Abuja, it can move. Depending on the quality, you can have loyal customers that bring in other loyal customers.

Don't mind those shouting packaging. Just have a good location, and be a honest individual with quality goods. In time you'll make it very well.

Plus what the guy above said!!

Abuja has very decent and organized set of people. Everyone almost knows the procedure and process of everything. You can't just come and change anything. No any form of competition, just be ready to do anything you're doing big and u must be extremely good and sincere. Any sign of dishonesty from u, u don cast be that.

I wish I knew the business you're talking of anyway
Re: Is Abuja Still Lucrative For Business? by excessmon(m): 10:10pm On Jul 29, 2020
Have you lived in the two places before?
How much profit can doing business in Lagos bring?
In life business is about packaging and selling right.....I have tasted the two places and sincerely Lagos is overrated.... Abuja is the emerging world
