Do you need billing. Drop your number here let me bill you. I am here in Nigeria Ie home and can replace them if they are not billing you and you are bothered. You should be happy you have an extended family that minds their business

Women are selfish to the point of being extremely wicked. In fact, no difference between a selfish and a wicked person

Syntaxbyte:
Thanks you so much for the insight, I really appreciate.
I will check those

I have build the like of VTU for clients, but it's not as if I just wasted my time, no profit.

I am some good project ideas, but seriously I am just finding it difficult to properly execute because of lack of fund which in turn affect timelines.

I really appreciate your insightful advices.

maybe you give me your contact so we talk on WhatsApp. People sometimes think you are lazy until you meet a good client. The ability to market a product is very very important and most time developers don't have that skill. But we have to force ourselves to do it. The people who make a kill from softwares most time are the marketers not the developers -

Right now, a nurse in the UK paid someone to build an app. The app shows the user the nearest gas station to his location. The user simply calls any of the gas stations to come pick their cylinder at home, fill and return. on the app, the user pays for the gas filling, the transport cost and a fee that goes to the app owner maybe N100 or so.

The app is fully operational in Benin and asaba. The developer has been paid off maybe 200k but the nurse who owns the app had to do the real marketing - convincing local gas stations to sign-up and work with him. Right now he has tons of stations signed up. Owning a product and marketing it brings you the real wealth. But building for people leaves you impoverished.

About how to raise money, start gradually. Walk up to a school provider in your neighborhood or a pharmacy - propose a software. Use any online softwares demo for them. Be ready to expand beyond software because you may see them request your assistance to buy laptop, install CCTV. Convince them you are able but negotiate with someone to do it if you can't and just get your share.

Jumia advertised for 8 years, did discounts for 8 years without making N1 profit. They had a European angel investor who invested £800 million and was patient. Even the original Nigerian owner and co developer sold his shares off before the company became profitable because he was tired of waiting. Most successful companies have come a long way requiring patience. Nigerians have scammed angel investors and venture capital firms alot in recent times under the guise of fintech.

Note: you can't even easily get a chance to meet those ventures capital firms and angel investors if you have never travelled out. We don't have patient investors in Nigeria. So you have to build from small with patience

You can seek opportunities abroad or develop saas - software as a service. They shouldn't pay you do build products. Rather you build and own a product which offers a service and let them pay for your service.

Have you imagined how much people make from university/college portals. They simply collect an amount eg N500 to N1000 per student when a student pays fees. For a school with 2000 students, you collect N500, that's N1000000 per year if that payment comes just once a year

Recharge card, VTU and data app. You may make N5 per recharge. But the profit comes when you have 10000 people using your app everyday. That's N5000 * 365 days for a year

You could build a so called free bible app with Google AdSense hidden somewhere or devotional app which is quite simple to do. Or even a music player with tiny URL and hidden somewhere

The list is endless.

Most of us in Nigeria are in this boat. You should not work for Nigerian people if you want to make it. I mean don't build products to sell to Nigerian people and don't accept or allow them give you pay off jobs except they are ready to pay up to a million naira. If not, don't give them room to discuss any deal.

Lagos state government is trying to destroy the fabrics of unity. Why would Lagos state government think only Yoruba language is important in a multicultural state in Lagos? Igbos have strong presence in Lagos and has continued to contribute strongly to Lagos state economy.
Igbo language must be taught in Lagos state schools, if there are teachers and interested students.

Abuja indigenous language of gbagyl tribe will be made compulsory in Abuja secondary schools when a gbagyl person becomes minister of fct. Abuja is a land of a minority tribe so Hausa cannot be imposed but rather the indigenous language of the gbagyl people using Yoruba people logic. Yoruba is too ethnocentric for any meaningful progress to take place in the Yoruba dominated states of the south west

You self wan use the girl trend. We have all encountered toxic people like that. Toxicity runs in some families. Family history is important in relationships

You are organising a workshop to promote local content but spending foreign currency not local currency. Paying Estacode means you likely flew heads of our local Nigerian companies to abroad to encourage them to use local resources that you yourself promoting local content does not use. For example, you spending dollars not our local currency naira, lodging in foreign hotels for the workshop. You guys are all thieves - nothing less. All these agencies need to be scraped

2 baba arranged and declared himself missing so that osawaru his new lover can pay ransom to his partners

Now osawaru has responded by using this guy to declare herself indebted and owing campaign organizers so two faced man will pay

This two lovers are game

2 face na really two-faced person. E too early to scam his new lover na. The igbinedion family will now have to pay ransom in billions. Everything happening too fast about two faced man and it's suspicious. I did listen to his recording where he said he has no problem with his wife Anne and that both of them has a plan. This could be the plan. Fall in love, declared missing, collect ransom from the lover

EmperorCaesar:
Which U-turn

The two statements are one and same

That one dey bring picture of 2024, while Reno's offer was for 2025

Omokri is an urhobo word for young he-goat. His mother is itsekiri, his father is urhobo but he leans towards itsekiri more because the mother was more responsible for raising him. Doesn't even want to identify at all as urhobo. I believe the name omokri given to him was a prophecy

Gadafii:
you pathetic miscreant.
No sane human being take Reno serious, abi no be the same Reno that attacked tinubu, call him all manners of names and even protested against him the UK.

Do you have memory loss to have forgotten all of these or you are simply a child with smart phone?

Not even tinubu take him serious, make it all am igbo affairs as you like, but Reno is a nonentity and like I said no same and serious human being with a function brain takes him serious, only miscreants and ronu bigots cheer him up online

Paying per hour for Zoom is the best thing that has happened

We have an Old Boy's group and we have a 2hrs meeting monthly

For convenience, our monthly review meeting is held virtually on zoom

Imagine us paying $16.11 (N26k) for a full month and then just using 2hrs out of it.

It's just like when you travel and stay in your village house for just 3 days and you have to make a full month cable TV subscription and the rest 27days gets wasted.

The per hour payment plan doesn't just make economic sense, it also makes logical sense.

It's also a business opportunity for you as an I.T Administrator -- (DM for the update)

Save your self stress and money, we have zoom links where you can simply pay per hour and only when you need it.

It you still need this service reach out on whatsapp via O7O31684332

You can build your own video conference app and use it free forever.

This scammer is the first story telling scammer that can compose an essay without typo. You tried OP, or did you use AI tool. Cos am sure you are stylishly advertising a non working product

Jayhome24:
Your last sentence nailed you completely as the most exceptional retardee of the universe, you are so retarded and mentally myopic to see through the wall that countries using their mother tongue rule the world technologically, politically, stability and progressives.

I'm really ashamed of you to think English is better that Igbo, Hausa etc no wonder fools like you claiming unity begging Jewish my a s s. Be proud of your eritage and stop being fantastically retarded.

Hello I'm not from SW so get that to your skull and hold your peace.

You will be alright, ndooh!

if you like be ashamed of your tribe but the ethnocentric tendencies in you all makes it impossible to deny your Yoruba root

Thunderfayamods:
Again your IQ is low all you do is to keep shouting Yoruba up and down. Is it only Yorubas that make education policies in Nigeria?
Tribalist you go cry 😭 taya!

You can hug transformer when you are tired of crying and cursing. Senile, senseless, stupid folk

Jayhome24:
So what did Igbo think and wha did Hausa and Fulani think because you opened yourr lousy mouth talking without thinking. Did they said the teaching with local dialect only applicable in SW? So China, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Netherlands, England, France, Russia etc that use only their mother tongue are you better than them?

This same silly talk that make Saudi imposed their Arabic on their mohammedism followers and never allow other language to teach islam in their language.

Lagos state already enforced teaching with Yoruba language in public schools every Wednesday or so. In your other Yoruba states you can do the same. Ban English and use Yoruba for official communication and for classroom teaching. You must not make it a national policy to drag others backwards. We don't want to be part of your retarded behaviour and retarded thinking

Thunderfayamods:
If you people don't mention Yoruba una lives can never be the same. You and your foolish comment! Bloody tribalist! Don't you have your own language? Did anybody says you cannot use it. People like you are slaves and will remain slaves to another person language. To show your low IQ you just jumped into conclusions that the person is Yoruba. Kids on Nairaland!
You are disgusting!

irrational and erratic behaviour, uncouth and gutter languages is some of your traits

Aonkuuse:
Children should be taught in their mother tongue..... If you have a school with mixed languages, you can use English language but Nigerians should stop using fluent English speaking as measure for intelligence.

only Yoruba people think this way. Ethnocentrism in the blood

How can the native doctor prove the effectiveness of his money ritual? Will he ask the govt to produce human skull? Or woman breast? I think we need this kind of action against all native doctors promising voodoo money. Anyone who promises to teach you how to make money, that person is not making money.They want to use your naiveness to make their own money

Whether they are pastors who teach prosperity through giving to the pastor/church, native doctors who give you soaps to use for bathing at a fee or Forex traders selling trading signals instead of quietly using the signal themselves. Those who make money in real life, don't teach their secrets

From this writeup, these Yoruba communities were only created 300 years ago (18th century). When did Yoruba people start migrating to Nigeria from Mali before spreading gradually to their current locations as early as 18th century

This too is a strategy to draw davidp attention and get him to do giveaway in billions of naira to this his so called fan who will now go on to become a celebrity once davido follow his page. Nigerians, Una too wise

Location is everything in business. If you invest N150m but you are in a dry street where people hardly come out or move around, you won't see any profits because drugs fit dey expire for your store due to slow pace of patronage.

If you are starting any business at first, start small. Place order for small amounts of drugs and increase later if the traffic jam in your store increases. If not you will lose. It takes time to grow your customer base and gain customer loyalty

Pharmacy business is night business. Sells more at night and evening hours. So you should consider the distance where you live to the shop. It doesn't matter if you have a car, because you go still fuel am from the business money.

Like in every other business, study your competitors. Sometimes observe them, ask them for clues. Know where they source their drugs, quality of these drugs and compare prices so you don't sell at prices way higher than your competitors

Pharmacies located near big govt hospitals tend to sell well because those hospitals are not equipped with good quality drugs. Also, because demand is higher. I recommend sitting businesses at busy road junctions because that helps you gain visibility very quickly .

If you are leaving employees to manage business for you in Nigeria, they will ruin it. But it's possible to manage with minimal supervision if you do the following things:

1) install CCTV camera everywhere
2) Use stock management software to track your daily sales and issue receipt
3) you must still come to the shop at the close of business day to count stock remaining, compare with the number sold on the computer, and reconcile with the money paid to your account for that day. If you give one week space you fit lose millions if your employee is a very smart thief

If you need softwares or someone to setup your IT infrastructure

Meet a lawyer and inquire about setting up a Trust for your family. Your lawyer will clarify you on the best way to handle this. I hope you have life insurance as well. Your son needs money from your life insurance policy in case anything happens.

Trust fit work for America but not for Nigeria where everyone wants to pilfer any resources at their disposal. You know what happened in Herbert wigwe family

GanagiBitrus:
Try to formalise the marriage since you 2 have kids together. & try to promote a cordial relationship between your wife and your family.

The welfare of your kids & your wife should take priority. So do whatever it will take to secure their future & not expose them to greedy family members.

They were rejected and thrown into the streets by their parents on either side. So that's why I think both of them are not interested in going back to those parents to formalize anything. But the guy is concerned about securing the future for his young kids because of the opportunistic African culture which evil siblings may capitalize on to throw out even the legally married wife and kids of their siblings out of their heritage. Marriage doesn't guarantee that evil, opportunistic siblings will not seek to betray their nephews and nieces.
