I'm becoming more patient and tolerant,I guess this is one thing that comes with age.
I still don't know how to sit down and ponder over challenges sha,I take hasty decisions which most times end bad.Im working on it.
Have stopped having random sex,can't remember the last time I slept with another woman and I don't miss that life.
More focused on my grind,have left the luxury and fast life alone,hardly hangout again or keep many friends,my circle is now very small.
My only worry?Building my business,finish!

perambulator:
Forget about that, think of the billions we should be spending on roads schools, hospitals that goes into fuel subsidy only to subsidize petrol in Benin!!!


The whole of benin effectively runs on subsidised Nigerian petrol,

Watch the 1st few minutes of this video, it talks about the smuggled fuel from Nigeria


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OfHGtSkZG8

Don't say what you don't know,
Those fuel are mostly consume in cities and towns close to Nigeria,not the whole Benin Republic.

billante:
What I see here is big opportunity for Nigeria

With the huge refining capacity Nigeria is currently building up with dangote, BUA, NNPC(TAM) and Modular refineries at different stages of completion,

They have a ready market for their products, all they have to do is wet the west and central Africa market with Oyel

The smugglers can knock themselves out with the excess product available,

Lots of direct and indirect jobs will come out of this and massive wealth for the owners

The only downside for Nigeria is that the market has to dictate the prices of the product, Subsidy has to go completely.

You think if they remove subsidy and let the market determine prices,you think people at Benin,Togo and Cameroun will buy Nigerian fuel?
Ready market indeed.
You thinkvthose countries don't have refineries or don't import fuel too or what?
They simply prefer Nigeria fuel because it is cheaper for them to purchase due to subsidy,
Take that away and no one in those countries will touch low grade Nigeria petrol with a 10 foot pole.

3.8M?

You get mind sha.

Been awhile I saw it. Dem don too use Jameson scatter pesin face sotey fake don many pass original.

Do you know of Woodford Whiskey?

lol Jameson never get fake in Nigeria yet,wetin dey available now na parallel(smuggled jameson for European Market finding its way to 9ja).
They taste different no doubt,with the parallel even tasting better a little bit.
Well,there is something just recently launched now by Grant's that might rival jameson.The Grant's 12yrs and it has all it takes to pose a serious threat.

Yes,I know Woodford whiskey,na wetin I dey drink right now as me and you dey talk laidis

J2381:
Grant's Whiskey?

Yes,why?

Had to unwind a little,
It was beginning to look like the stress was winning

Ruke1989:
One reason I get nauseated when I see a less successful girl telling me they love me. I realize they won't do that to a broke guy. So I get nauseated because I think love is being used as a trick to get successful men to sponsor poor girls who try to play on men's intelligence. The high income ladies will never in their young age profess undying love to a broke guy unless for fear of not finding a husband eventually using that man as sperm donor. They hate to be used by men financially but they love to financially hook up once they see a Roch man they can use. Stop hiding under tradition of man being the financial head or even scripture and accept the fact that ladies are just selfish without restriction.

They are quick to reject submission to a man headship over them but once topic is about
whose money should be spent. They will quickly tell you you are the head so spend your money on the family and leave me to spend mine on myself

95% of the times,it's all lies!Comfort by association at its peak.

Ruke1989:
What does that mean? Women of her class looking down on her because she earns higher than the husband. Is she married to a leprous man or a cripple? Do men humiliate married women because they feel her class is lower than her husbands?
This is nonsense and a logic women craftily align with to satisfy their greed. Trying to use the man as a ladder to go up but never allowing themselves to be someone else ladder. We call it selfishness And it will be okay to say every woman is selfish if this your logic be accepted

Blame society.
They made it okay for men to be women's saving grace which is one narrative that should change ,cos this people won't condone you if the situation was reversed.

Not a good thing to do to your ego.
Even if she loves you,what will her friends(possibly in her class) think of you?
Will you be comfortable meeting them?
It'll destroy your confidence.
And also make you push your self to impossible limits just to catch up that will always end up to fail because you want to jump many steps at a time to catch up to a woman's lifestyle and acceptance.
Then of course it won't work,then you end up depressed,thinking low of yourself and eventually accept your fate ,walking in a woman's shadow.
Run!

RightToReject:
You don't cut off your nose to spite your face. According to you "It is people who are shallow and have so little to offer that aren't depressed at all because those little things you call fun is what they live for and can be gotten easily." That is one of the most absurd things I have read; it's big misinformation.

Gumption and grit have nothing in common with depression - it might have everything to with greed, overconfidence, and failure, however.

Well,I have to agree with you,you hit the nail on the head.

edoman2016:
This thread is for losers. Life is fun.

Do not dismiss/mock a struggle you know nothing about.
Even some top CEOs and captains of industries go through this ,I guess they are losers too.
Let me paint it to you clear,most times it is people with huge drive,aspirations,dreams and ambition that go through this because they fear what they envisage might not come to pass or something might go wrong at the end of the day,
It is people who are shallow and have so little to offer that aren't depressed at all because those little things you call fun is what they live for and can be gotten easily.
Be guided.

hahn:
You go belleful so?

lol hahaha I guess

Dinner ,something really light.
Woodford reserve bourbon whiskey(American).
Xtra smooth,like super-smooth and almost zero wood taste. Consumed this far without a single act of diluting and so far my guts isn't on fire
Chocolate,juice,grapes,biscuits and water.
Grapes and water is for my insides anyways, to detoxify.

mysticgal:
Can you do sales ?

Sales of what?
What product are you selling?
I be trader,just so you know what I'm about or asking.

Had a very lovely dinner yesterday.
Ekwang nkukwo and dried fish,really nice.
The only downside is that they put too much periwinkle in it,
That small bowl was filled with shells
But I enjoyed it.9/10.

emmanuelewumi:
You are a Mafia.


Have you read "Mafia Manager".

lol no really,I just learnt early enough that there is no such thing as loyalty,
People agree more with difficulty than loyalty.
Every human I greedy,they want to make it to the top by just piggybacking on an existing opportunity another person suffered to create,
Deny them that.
That is my mantra.
Yes it cost me much to add all these unnecessary costs ,but it has made my business remain solely mine and me not having to share market share by people I work with who might even use my money to fund their racketeering and make profits off of me.No!
I rather spend more to ensure this never happens,or I do it myself.
That's how I roll.

Lol you are still very naive.
I run my business like a cartel,I am very careful of any of my rent-a-nigga-a-day employees knowing the Ins and outs of my business.
I scatter it so much so that even a supercomputer will be confused.
The one thing I don't do is trust,and I was built with this inborn paranoia that makes me to think people are always after me,or in this case my business, So I am always running and is always ahead of any possible threat's thought even though no one is chasing.
Rule number one;
have no steady team,everyone is replaceable and subject to movement.Even If you can afford to,but just don't do so to keep trade secrets a secret.
And avoid working with people who think they are smart and ambitious.If you are so smart,create your own business,no come dey form Einstein on a person's trade that took sweat and blood to build so you can become his/her competition .Bleep that!
Pay people well,'not so smart' people will always get comfortable with what they presume is huge as what you give them,they get comfortable ,relent and literally turn off their brains and become something worse than a slave,this is good
Better to have a controllable dummy working for you than a genius,geniuses are very smart and they pick things fast and sooner than later,they start seeing reasons why they can be the next you.
Discuss and interact very well with your people,when you smell so much knowledge from a person,let him/her go ASAP.That is a very huge threat you are harbouring in the name of employee,run very fast.
2)Nobody that works with you should meet your customer's directly from the source,
There should be one guy that delivers to another guy that is also very lost who in turn delivers to the client,and different people keep meeting the guys that deliver to clients daily,so there is no one to tell you where the product is coming from,because yes,you are all confused.If you don't confuse them and use same people always,it is very easy for them to connive and steal or maybe redirect your client(s) to other sources,so yes,leave them confused.That's one thing you should be very good at,confusing people and leaving them lost!!
3) Don't relax!!All big clients(fear people with money,they have a lot of options.All they need is to know what you know and then Bleep you over) should be served by you and you only,small clients can be served by others because they wouldn't fight through all that confusion just to win those small people whose survival is at your mercy because they don't have money,
So if at all they succeed to bypass your firewall,where them want see money to use run deal with your conniving ass employee huh?
When you are chasing them like a hawk to make sure they pay old debt very fast and collect more credit so as to remove purchasing power they will use to patronise your competition from their hands.

It is stressful,but it was worth it.
You are lazy,and not very smart.You are part of the people dependent on an imaginary figure to succeed.Wake up,it is not real.
Taking your girl that you must have foolishly let her know everything about your business to meet your client was a very daft move.Why was she tgere ffs?
Next time,you go see the client ALONE,make the deal ALONE,bring the workload and share with your girl in a place far from your marketshare,then take the product to the client alone,get paid alone and move!!That way even if you are expensive,there is no hungrier person to cut a lesser deal with the client on your fee.
What we're you thinking?gosh!!
The only time you can relax in business and rely on employees is when you own /control supply or have solid trade pacts with supply,no be any small thing employee this,employee that,unto big madam weh you be na,now them don dey show big madam shege banza mana ,madam is pained.
You dey open market dey form boss,hahahaahahahahahahahajajajaahahahaha

JamOSneh:
Come and buy like 4 truck under indomie company for loading , you will be raking million in a month, Am very sure u will you thank me for this

I thought BHN logistics are the people hauling goods for Dufil-Prima(indomie,power oil ,etc...)
How come they will accept trucks from independent contractors again?I don't understand, please can you elaborate?

des4ella:
Transportation business. Buy three very sound 2010 Toyota sienna and partner with God is Good transport company; trust me you earn close to 2M monthly.

3 Sienna around 10.5m or so.
According to you an investment of 10.5m to bring 2m naira monthly is possible in the business you stipulated and you think God is good will still be accepting vehicles from partners
When they can walk into any bank,collect loan at 2% monthly interest and buy 500 Sienna at once?
Lol funny

mechanics:
You didn't get my explanation well, with that amount he can be a retailer of different goods, buy from their agent in bulk, one must not have a truck, people who want to sell will come and patronise him, he just look for a place that's marketable.

Look for a place that's marketable and wait for customers to come and meet him whereas his competitors who are buying from Nigeria breweries direct(pricing advantage) are going round from shop to shop,door to door with their trucks selling same goods abi?
Yes,with this your model he will sell,but the volume will be so paltry so much so that the time value of money for that 15m will be useless.Oga,times and business have changed,you just don't know it because you might not be a fieldman.
What's the sense in it to use 15m to chase 2m gross profit per year if not outright foolishness?
Atleast if it's that kind of negligible income he is looking for, he is better off buying fixed income which might even give him a bit more with no stress.

mechanics:
Many business ideas, one can go into drink business, becoming a major distributor for cocoa-cola company, buying and selling of building materials like cement etc, major distributor of provisions and others, then electronic business and also selling of refrigerators.

Distributor for Nigeria breweries na N100m oga,that N15m no go anywhere.
And not like when you bring the 100m you can enter easily,they will ask you plenty questions on how you plan to distribute what you are bulk buying from them.
Meaning you need distro vehicles,warehouse and a team.
Then not to talk of competition as the market is saturated already.
Not easy,if not for too much competition and inexperience, boys for don maKe move.
See as to call major distributor just easy for your mouth lol untop 15m
E be like you no get any experience on all these things you dey mention.

Zane2point4:
Go into agriculture and see that money remain 1.5m in 6mnths.

Afromentalist:
The Inflation levels in nigeria is out of this world. Can you imagine a Country with double digits inflation/devaluation rate for almost over a Decade. Whereas in Germany, the coupon and yield of a 10 year Bond is negative.

Really bad mehn,it has turn even traders like me whose principal motive should be turnover to hoarders.
Everyone is afraid to sell for fear of price increase.
Na real wa!!

Going through one currently .
Sold a huge portion of my stock,made profits but inflation has wiped all the profits because it now cost more than my selling price to purchase from the company .
One hell of a deal really.

erico2k2:

nah true, But o 2much.

lol I know right!
It was funny to hear a 2016 car which can't even be available again brand new, not like its a special edition ,that someone was spending £20k for repair bills,something weh aftermarket parts from scrapyard go full town.
Well,maybe the guy don't like scavenging for parts so he tends to go to a dealership for repairs so those cost can be possible because of OEM parts and they will be many since the car was accidented.
But the big question is,
Is spending £20k on top a 6yr old luxury car worth it or a smart financial decision?To me,NO!
Well,to each his own.

erico2k2:
Guy for £20k? nah beans?? howmuch 4 the whole car ,This car nah 2016, E part full scrap yard!

Erico2k2 zukwanuike
Maybe the guy exaggerated a little,but make we no persecute am.

This one don go price market weh pass am ,come damage am in the process.Now them dey force am to pay

Have one on my case ATM,
Very pretty,looks young and a cool personality,
It's a tempting offer really,but when I think of the repercussion in it(like the husband coming after me if/when he finds out) makes me restrain myself all the time.
Have her numbers that I don't call,WhatsApp that I don't chat,etc...
Just business and greetings na wetin hold us.
Marriage is beginning to look like an institution with a lot of false foundations as the day goes by,
A lot of issues mehn.
