Founding a startup company is not one of the easiest things in the world to do. Nine times out of ten you would find you questioning yourself; wondering if you were insane to actually consider this in the first place and wondering why on earth you thought it was ever going to work. As a founder or co-founder, you are continuously faced with the fear of uncertainty; would your company still be relevant in the next three years or would it go the way thousands of others have gone? So you have an idea, but how would it ultimately translate to cash in the bank for you?

Let us start with the idea- a lot of people have come up with phenomenal ideas that have never seen the light of day. Some because they never thought getting a second and third opinion was necessary. It would be wise to want to keep some information to yourself but then again how would you know what people think of idea if you do not ask? Be open to feedback both positive and negative. No doubt you would feel like defending your “baby” but It is best you iron out the kinks at this stage before you have a million people making a million negative comments about your startup when the number could have been significantly lesser at the planning stage...

Your budget I think is important.

There are other factors too. For example, desired location etc.

I wish you all the best in the process of attaining a new status - house owner.

thank you. The desired location is eliozu, land's been seen, yet to be paid for.

Hello house, please i sincerely need help from the gurus here. im thinking of starting a building project in port Harcourt. Normally thee wont have been any rush but landlord has just increased his rent so im thinking it would be wiser to just buy a land and build. My question is this, what is the possibility of finishing a 5 bedroom duplex in 10 months? is this feasible? secondly if it is how much am i looking at roughly? thirdly what should i look for in a contractor? Thank you

importexpert:
when i first started my popcorn joint, it worked for over 2months on lost before the profits started flourishing

Its a good thing you shared this story because most people who venture into business expect to starting seeing profits even before they are fully established. Most successful businesses today did not get any returns on their investments until six months later.

Hello everyone, i am currently working on a project where various startups in Nigeria would be profiled and sort of brought under one body. The goal of this project is to just basically encourage someone who may be having doubts about founding or co-founding a startup. I conducted an research about startups in Nigeria and discovered that our stories are not really out there for the world to see. Some startups may also need seed funding to kick off but the founders usually, do not know how to go about this.
So the idea is this if you have been successful as the founder or co-founder of a startup, please be kind of enough to share your story with the rest of the world. The story would be featured on www.startupnigeria.net. This would also create some publicity for you and we could also look at the possibility of running some free ads for you on our site for a period of time. Examples of startups are Kaymu, Jobberman, push CV, nearest locator etc. This is just so you have an idea of what im talking about.
For further enquiries, pls send me a mail and i would reach you as soon as possible. Thank you.

Technology has done a lot to spur the agricultural sector in the past few years. The transition from subsistence farming to large scale production has been rather slow but steady for some farmers. However there are still a lot more of these farmers in the rural areas who still engage in small scale productions. A scenario were the reverse should be the case is necessary if we as a country plan to regain the glory we enjoyed in the 1960s that saw agricultural sector as the major source of foreign exchange earnings.

There is no doubt that the government has been doing a lot in the area of agriculture in Nigeria but there is still a lot more to be done. It is high time we looked at the possibility of putting a stop to the importation of tinned tomatoes, frozen sea food and poultry. These are products that we should actually be exporting if we play our cards right. This leads us to an examination of one major area in agriculture that could do with some turn-around

Farmers Education
Educating farmers would create a lot of impact on agriculture in Nigeria. Farmers need to be brought up to speed on recent technologies and innovations that will assist them with production. This will ensure that the there is increased income on the part of the farmers, increased productivity which in turn lead to expansion over time and subsequently to the employment of more labour. The government should ensure that agricultural education cuts across the formal, informal and non-formal means of education. Read more at http://startupnigeria.net/agriculture-the-way-forward/
