They'll definitely need small shops, I thought you meant that toward investor's actual business. I realized the Computer Village vs Alaba part shortly after posting that link. Really appreciate your inputs. I will send private message to you if you don't mind.

Thanks!

Alright, you welcome.
Best of luck with your project.

MarketingPhones:
Thank your your input. Mush appreciated.

However, the goal is not starting the business as a shop, but to research the market towards distribution. Secondly, the 6 point above is on how to select and sponsor 50 young business minded Nigerians across the country in starting the business and use that the output of that to conclude on research. How would you select that individuals?

On this: . If you have the time, we are really interested in writing a small eBook that can be used by the candidates later. Please take a look at this post if interested or know anyone that does: https://www.nairaland.com/7942452/phones-accessories-gadgets-market-research .

Thanks again!

The bolded is confusing. You lost me.
You want to help 50 Nigerians start phone accessories business BUT Not as Shops? ?
You need to come clear on your business model.

Yeah, I checked the attached link. Change Computer village there to Alaba int'l. For the past 30 years, I have been dealing with both markets, it's common knowledge that Alaba is dominant for phones while Computer village is for Computers/Laptops

dvkot:
madam im an igbo person and I do cook Nsala... infact Nsala can be made with only uziza seed and uziza leaf.. u don't even need to add uda.

Then you end up making pepper soup and serving to people as Ofe nsala
You can only learn by humbly asking, not pretending to even be the expert in the room. It's because of people like you that Probz made the statement he did in his first comment on this thread.
Nsala soup isn't different because of the meat like you have been saying. Because other Igbo soups use the same meat. InyiyaAgbaOku was right about you not knowing the ingredients nor how to cook it

tobenuel:
pls Ofe Nsala is Ofe Nsala not white soup, people should not rename it. Afang soup is Afang soup, I dont think it has any other name. Ewedu is Ewedu also

Greetings all. I am having issue with easybuy.

I bought an Itel Phone with Easybuy .
When I tried to pay the last 20k, it failed several times till my money was deducted .

I reported to my bank who reversed the money after 2 weeks.
During this process , EasyBuy Has Gone ahead to lock my phone .
When the money was reversed back into my account, I saw a debit alert from Easybuy meaning they debited the money .

But their app is still showing that I am owing them and they have locked my phone .
I have reported it to them via mails and calls yet nothing has been done.
They have deactivated reset option in the phone .

Please how I do unlock this phone . Thanks Alot

Openly and shamelessly asking for how to scam a company "Easybuy"
If you are given a way to circumvent the lock which ensures that you pay/settle any issues with Easybuy, you would have succeeded in putting the company out of business and her workers jobless.
Ain't this Evil

So sorry. Thank God the injury is limited to the leg bruises and phone damage.
The motherboard seems like it might be broken. Yeah sell as scrap.

MarketingPhones:
How can we empower 50 young Nigerians to start Phone Accessories Business? Ideas Please!

Please note: This is not a solicitation or application, just your genuine ideas on how to go about the process. If you are to sponsor someone to start a small business related to phones, gadgets & accessories, how would you go about it?

There are lots of unemployed graduates and business minded young Nigerians looking for capital to startup one small business or the other. We would like to conduct market research on phone, gadgets and accessories business Nationwide and strongly believe that our research can't be clearly achieved without actually sponsoring young startups to study sustainability of the business over a determined period of time.

The project is being sponsored by a team of Nigerians in Diaspora to research investment opportunities in the country.

The questions is, if you are in the position to sponsor a young family friend or neighbor to start a small business related to phones, gadgets and accessories, what would be your:

1. Selection criteria
2. Returns agreements
3. Educational background
4. Training process
5. Investment Security
6. Sales experience
Your candid opinion is highly appreciated - Preferably from individuals or business owners with experience in the phone accessories and gadgets line of business.
Thanks in advance

Nice idea.
However be mindful of the recent trend of almost every Tom, Dick and Harry thinking phone accessories business is a gold mine and all can do it. So competition is increasing by the day. I see many mallam converting their scrap metal trucks to mobile vending of phone accessories ( Back cover and Chargers).
So that said the success of your idea will revolve around how well you handle your points 1, 4 &6 highlighted above.
LOCATION: I believe you won't be adopting the mobile sales method, so getting shops situated on busy roads and markets will be your toughest hurdle.
TRAINING: Should focus on commercial and technical skills. Commercial should cover amongs others effective book-keeping (Stock book, Daily sales book) Technical should cover basic electrical/electronics, understanding hardware and software. In other to increase foot falls they should be able to attend to basic maintenance issues of phone, before outsourcing more technical issues.
PRODUCT SELECTION: I can write a 200 Pg book this. Plenty of care is needed here.
Invest more on items with high turnover.
For a start avoid items with shelve life.
Never compromise quality because you want to buy the cheapest brand. This will hunt you later.
WATCH & PRAY
All the best

bassdow:
Me just dey watch how these go end.

By the way, Seems Tinubu kept his own side of the Bargain, wonder why a new commer SimCard couldn't do same. Agreement na Agreement na.

Either way, those Supporting Fubara shouldn't think He's got the ordinary people's interest either.

Those supporting Fubara don't have his interest. They only want to see Wike go down for his role in bringing in the current occupier of Aso rock.

Definitely. The crop of leadership today can never champion restructuring. Sadly, the 'Nigeria House' is even too "divided and segregated" for any people-centred revolution to take place at present.

Yes Divided/disoriented by Cultism and Corruption not religion and ethnicity as they make us believe

writeprof:
That's just it. Many Nigerians I believe would comfortably stay back in their villages/towns/LGAs/states doing their businesses or jobs if such restructuring is done. Leadership is forced to look inward and be productive.

Nigeria is yet to harness 20 per cent of her potentials in Agriculture which EVERY state and LGA can get involved in until we feed the West Africa region for a start. Imagine Nigeria importing palm oil, and other unthinkable things we have been blessed to produce if the nation is working.

But be assured that Nigeria will never be restructured while the current structure suits the leaders.
So the leadership issue must first be resolved and we have witnessed the worst election in the world. Meaning ONLY a revolution will correct the leadership.

writeprof:
The Nigerian situation saddens. The Federal structure of Nigeria is the mother of corruption on its own. To kill corruption, this country needs to be restructured in a way that the federal behemoth is reduced while smaller units like states become more accountable to the people.

You are correct. Restructuring the federal structure and making States/LGA to have more control of their resources is essential.

Luckysbab:
If you had any iota of sense, you would have figured I was talking from the angle of naira to xof, while the other man was referring to xof to Naira. Xaf to Naira was 1000:1500 and is now 1000:1760. My mention of 500 and 760 was simply the difference between the two, using 1000 as base.
But like I said, you are just a foolish clown who thinks this was some argument to be won.
Idiot!

Mr 6and9 you see how f00lish pride has kept you explaining same position without any progress.
Going round in circles like your 6and9 shape
Idiocy will be a compliment in your clan.
Move on slowpoke you are a huge time waster.

Luckysbab:
Oops! And here I thought you were not just another Nairaland kid.

If you are too clownish to realize it's a case of the angle of view of 6 and 9, that's your cup of tea honestly.

Yes O I'm a Nairaland kid with sense
"Angle of view of 6 and 9" ....cling on to your f00lish pride
Indeed, empty vessels and f00lish pride are synonymous
I rest my case

Luckysbab:
You probably have been misunderstanding my point.

I have simply been saying 1,000 cfa is equal to 1,760 Naira.

Calm your titties.

When you are a bad liar... even with black and White evidence you will still talk trash
The person @zyphr you responded to quoted 1k Naira to 550cfa and you responded that on the contrary it moved from 500 to 760. Now you doing bold face U-turn to 1,760 Learning will be very distant from you with such empty pride.

Luckysbab:
https://abokiforex.app/cfa-xof-to-naira-black-market

LOL. Now you will know that not everything you find on the internet is correct. You were basing your argument on some lazy blogger who doesn't know jack about Forex.
It's 1000 CFA to N1,760 he meant to write and not 1cfa to N1,760
But we were talking N1000 to 550 CFA
Note that on a daily unlike USD : Naira pair, two rates are established for the Naira:XOF pair, one is from Naira to CFA and another from CFA to Naira.

Luckysbab:
You're funny.

It has been swinging. Couple of weeks ago, it dropped to 500, then went to 760 or so last week.

Not true.
It's being below 560 steadily for past 3 weeks. I'm in Exchange.

The lack of fear at night is one thing that surprised me in Benin Republic. We saw a grandma in her 70s off to take bike from Calavi to Cotonou around 12 midnight, the roads were busy and I was wondering comparing it to Nigeria. This was last month.

There was a time when it was like that in Nigeria. As university students lots of us used to travel in the night for cheaper transport. In fact late 90s it's from 10pm I and my guys start rolling in Lagos. I remember a Printer delivering wedding programme at my cousin's house in Jakande estate as late as 2am for a wedding by 9am. He kept he was coming that he held up with other engagements at the Island. As recent as 2001, I enter Edo state from Lagos by 12 midnight and head to Ekewan road from Iyaro. During this period the only miscreants carrying guns you were afraid of naa police.
Nigeria should ordinarily be the Tourism headquarters of the world. The experience of cultural diversity from Warri to Port-Harcourt to Calabar (God bless Donald Duke) to Okene to Kaduna is so much and you haven't even experienced one-tenth of the culture and not even talking of places (tourist attraction) to visit in any of these locations.
But Nigeria has lost its glory to cultism and corruption. Wipe out these two and see the Giant God created in the geographical Landmass. Blessed with everything.
We need a very Strong uncompromised leader to achieve that. Can you imagine Tinubu begging multinationals not to leave Nigeria, which Nigerian president ever did that. The number one destination in Africa for investors.
In the absence of a Strong uncompromised leader only a revolution will wipeout cultism and corruption to restore the Glory of God's own country.

Meerahbel:
This is comforting but cannot be same for places in Nigeria.

Nigeria is gone to the Jackals.
First it was Internat Fraudsters, then Sea pirates/ Omonile, then Bokoharam then Kidnapping but the father of them all, the Corrupt Politicians they control the earlier miscreants. They are the reason why nothing good will come forth from Nigeria. Even Abacha days was far far better than what Nigeria is today. A laughing stock of the world.
Just like the western countries I have been opportuned to live, in Bénin you can move round the country without seeing a Police man carrying a gun except when you approach any of her borders. Police you see at some busy intersection don't carry guns nor do stop and search.

What is different between 490k to 540k.Shey na the extra 50k go turn you to obi cubanna?

So if you leave your father land to another country and rent just an empty house without bed, cooking gas, cooking pots,plates standing fan etc for 247k. How will you survive with 293k? Are you also telling me that when you rent a house you will be sleeping on the floor?

Ok, assuming that you manage to buy some few things for the house for 100k.

How long do you think your remaining 193k will take you?.

You guys should stop encouraging and misleading people.

1 million naira only have value in Nigeria and nowhere else

I left Nigeria many years ago when Nigeria airways ticket to United Arab Emirates is just 72k. Then Nigeria and Nigerians are respected in many countries.

If dare leave Nigeria now without money,what you will experience will make you set yourself ablaze by yourself.

It's obvious you out of touch with how things roll, leaving for UAE at a time when shops like Everyday supermarket process visa on arrival to Dubai with N20k.
Yes 50k is a lot when stating facts especially in currency exchange .
You said 490k CFA can't rent a room (acting like you are speaking facts) whereas he doesn't need more than 100k CFA inclusive of agency, and other caution fees. How did you come by 247k, you didn't see 3 months there
Now you are jumping to another unprocessed conclusion that N1m is adequate in Nigeria, whereas in Yaba, Illupeju N800k may not get you a room as you have to pay per annum. I needn't go to island or Ikoyi that would be an over kill.

moneyissweet:
Better stay in Nigeria and invest that 1m. Even your 1m can't japa you to Cotonou because when you convert 1 m NGN to CFA you will get 490k CFA which can't even rent you a one room in Benin republic.

Suffry dey lie
What would you gain
N1m is 540k cfa
A nice 1bedroom flat in Porto Novo,(parlour kitchen 247 electricity with security) is 25k CFA monthly. Max you pay 3months
As late as 12pm in the night, women and children are still moving on the streets without fear.

Please who is Eseka and what's the beef about?

Eseka is a punter here on Nairaland that drops his games (free) for anyone interested to play. Abba hates his popularity and just keeps trolling for no sensible reasoning.
Ask abba for details of the beef, though he now denies any existed.

Prosperity4All:
Last time you didn't go beyond your 1st game, pray you do better this time.
And hope this won't amplify your envy/ hatred of Eseka🤣

@abba
It's already happening. Lost opening attempt, and you done abandon.
Why waste people's time and resources. You said it months ago that you had quit seeing that betting wasn't good for you 🤣🤣

BBIA:
This is hate speech.

Wetin Jennyclay do you?

She was hating on a brother trying to find an honest path to wealth. So am only telling brothers that poverty will never be found in the crime books like prostitution or Yahoo so they shouldn't be ashamed if they lack funds to attract the Jennys in Sodom

BBIA:
Make I see who go marry financial liability.


Na your type no go like prenup

She will find a Yahoo plus nigga, enjoy some splash then end up as the sacrifice for the next round of cash to attract another empty skull daughter of Eve

Jennyclay:
May God help you broke and struggling men!

Biko, stay away from a relationship in order not to put someone’s daughter in poverty

Nobody wants to settle for less my dear!

And even help you broke ass daughters of Eve even more so you don't spend your lifetime seeking for men as Life insurance

Wawelexy:
If that woman cross that things, I will bring out the house documents my granny kept with me, sell off the damn building and use all the proceedings as giveaway to all the female Nairalanders, including the evening papers among them.

Funny thing is, that thing the husband laid on the floor might be an impotent camouflage JuJu just to make an empty threat in order to test the wife, but trust naija women, 90% of them will never pass such test. Was the husband even expecting her to cross it before?

The video just reminded me that, out of the 24 hours God created per day, it's only 30 minutes that belongs to me, the remaining 23.5 hours is to fear that gender.

LOL
