Online no dey favour doors? No, I disagree
During the lockdown, I was learning alluminium fabrication, doors, windows and all that, I suggested for that my boss do online advert, he told me he later did it and the turnout was great, I have friend who is into furniture and carpentry works, most of his clients are from north and east through adverts but then whatever works for you
PM me when you are ready for importation

Check your WhatsApp, I used the number on your signature

You want my advice? You really want my advice? You really really want my advice bro. Sell everything and travel out. Nothing wrong in getting married at 40. You have 7 years to hustle before 40 and I can guarantee you that your success isn’t in Nigeria. Besides it takes a lot for business to be financially stable lately in Nigeria. Imagine you get married and start raising kids with struggles of business lately! See! A lot of people are dying silently inside in this country! Even the ones who look like they are doing well are not really doing well but dying inside! Make out plans on how to travel out of the country and seek greener pastures in Europe if not America. The only advice I can give you but if you wants to stay back Naija, you have to take care of your business and not your business providing for you, except you have other illegal means of making more money.

But how can a foreigner start a business abroad? I think it's usually not allowed, right?

bestabigaelever:
Stay in kaduna and be doing what you are doing
Take your business online, do some adverts
As for bags importation, it's not necessary you come to Lagos, order for your goods and post online
I wouldn't advice you to come stay with a friend that is married,NO!
I can teach you importation for Free if you are interested

What I learnt in doors business, online no dey favour am. People who buy doors will want to come, feel and even lift what they are buying. Trust me, I tried. It's only good for a shout-out like, "hey everyone, if you are close to my location, and need doors you can call ...... and come to check my store." But if na fashion stuff, yeah, online is the bomb.
I think I will take you up on your offer to teach me what you know. Every bit helps.

EzegeNdiigbo:
Go Lag joor

Your reasons?

Goldbw122:
The future is unpredictable, so what I will say is that, if there is still time you know, you can actually go back to Lagos to start with the business your friend, suggested if there is still time like if you are younger but if you are older just stick to your own business and try to make it through business is not easy it takes struggles, when you have your own business the way you are doing now, it will really bring your own self confidence to the top(entrepreneur) so in business there are ups and down, so that is why you shouldn't get jealous of your friend, who are doing business and you know. So you just have to be patient, a little bit.
Yes, we know that the economy is affecting. everything in Nigeria, so you just have to wait, just know that you have to invest your money somewhere like part of the game, you can invest in other lucrative business, serious business, so you can use the find in the other business to back up your current business that you are doing, that will eventually boost your business plan and and more business leads to what you're having, you know you should think of multi-business like if you are doing, or phone accessories repairing of phones, you should be thinking of getting into spare parts and importing of goods. when you have money and ideas, come together, you can be able to flourish in any business that you are doing so that is how it is, but if there is still time you can go to Lagos to make sure that you learn about the bag importation and sales and all that, just took to the one that you are doing for me to remember business is up and down so that is how the games goes... remember time is one of the major factor..

I am 33. Is there time?

Guys, I need your advice. I am very confused right now.
I am 33, single and graduated as an electronics engineer since 2012.
From my nysc days, I decided I never wanted to be a job seeker, I would rather be in business. I did do some interviews, got reinvited but not successful in securing the jobs.
So I went to understudy a phone accessories business in Lagos, spent six months doing that and started the biz. It wasn't successful as I wasn't getting the volume of business I needed to make it work.
I left Lagos and moved to Kaduna to join in a door sales business (family biz).
I even got a shop of my own which I have managed since 2018.
It wasn't easy at all. I kept struggling to pay rent for both my shop and house. But somehow I managed.
Fast forward to now, I am under pressure to succeed ( both family pressure and myself as I am not getting younger and need to settle down).
A friend who's done quite well for himself came on a visit and told me that I should decide to leave Kaduna and come to Lagos (I was like, again?)
He's into ladies' handbags. He told me of his brother who he trained and sent him off with 500k. He told me about how successful he was, that he was married and pays the rent of both house and shop (which if I can remember was just above a million altogether).
I would have to live in with a friend of his and wife who has apprentices already.

Side note: the handbags biz would be importation which would take rather long to land in Nigeria coupled with how inflation affects our currency while you are trying to replenish your stock.
The doors business we kinda arbitrage our purchases from different suppliers and we get our stock from anywhere in the country within at most 2~3 days.

So, I am confused. Should I go after the offer in order to improve my situation or remain where I am, keep at it and hoping I would get better, possibly inheriting the legacy of the business?

karika2018:

Sadly we keep worshiping these thieves in the sit of power .

This is what most Nigerians want , we want to be separate and build fair, equitable, prosperous and successful nations. We refuse to be dragged back to the stone age and be forced to live like savages.

The Somaliland approach is the best approach.

Click if u agree and share if u disagree

What's the Somaliland approach?

All religious fallacies, hanging unto abstracts.......

Christ is, actually, all you said. It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Even when you feel disappointed, it doesn't change it.

In his village

The village no get name?

Quality20:
Many of these girls may not want to greet ppl, but instead of keeping a low profile, u may even hear them hissing or looking directly into people's eyes without blinking. Me in d places I grew up married women and girls have so much respect n dare not share a tiny road with a man, whether he is young or elderly. A lady would rather disappear into d farm or bush than rub shoulders with a man or elders

Where's that?

Prettyvirginia:
Why?

So that there would be highlife music for your village compound very soon.

People don't know that she's actually smart! She doesn't want public proposals and to ensure it she added something that will make you willing to propose in a private place.

She gets it.

Reading many comments here show that many Nigerians don't understand relationship dynamics.

Prettyvirginia:

I don send you mail

gfon:
legend i hail

Thanks

gfon:
lol clown.You shoot am na

Did that almost an hour ago.

Everybody who can travel, should travel. It is well known that Nigeria is being supported by diaspora remittances (even the oil has no positive impact on our lives).
The next best thing are guys who do legit businesses online while in Nigeria. Increase your skills and do the needful.
The next are those who invest in stocks both home and abroad.
The next are those who invest in stocks at home.

So whichever one you can do, please do so that here will not turn to Venezuela and Zimbabwe.

Finally, most important of all, when are Nigerians going to do away with corrupt leaders?

Just kukuma say you like the girl. No need this long format. The moniker no even funny sef.

FlutterDollar99:
how is my own different. how do you people get these jobs

Plus the abroad fa

jaxxy:
When u want to build a house u plan. When u want to marry u have to plan same way.

You know the problem? You can't plan when u don't have resources. It's kinda hard when you are not meeting your spec and time is just going. Or when you do, the person doesn't want you.

Guys, which stockbrokers allow me to trade on margin? Because I am tired of only 1% ~0.5% per day while I pay 1% commission.

OBAGADAFFI:
Why should investors always be chasing dividends?

Since is I started investing in US stock with TROVE, I get dividends paid regularly into my account.

But they don't allow margin trading. I have an account with them as well.

If The Government Is Responsible For The Destruction Of South East, Nnamdi Many Is Working For Them

Now they have started blaming the government for the destruction going on in south east. Diverting the attention of their carnage on our region. According to them, the government want to pain them bad. But as gullible as these IPOB members are, they have failed to ask them self why is it that anytime these ESN) UNKNOWN GUNMEN Attack the security men, their leader will lead them to celebrate the attack.

They failed to even think and remember how their leader threatened all security personnel in south east to resign and how he ask his gullible minions to report every security check point to him.

They fail to think and understand that for them to start accusing the Government of conspiracy, their leader is part and parcel of the conspiracy hence he is working for the government.


Our region will not burn in Jesus name. Amen but thunder will strike nnamdi KANU for all he is causing

All you just said here means nothing. Get to the root of the problem.

LINTUNE:
dude, quit explaining yourself to that gal..let her continue to wallow in self deceit....it's common knowledge that an average guy can deduce if a woman will be submissive,by merely looking at her...them no de hide those kind threat from them..

Lol. I wasn't just writing to explain to her alone but to other girls out there with that kind of mentality.

Romanoff:
If you had been a scumbag, you think you'd have these nice things to say about her?

Well, I mean, I am the same guy who's met other girls, who are rather rude. Why are they like that? They will only act nicely if I "earn" it. Before I used to think it was my game, like I am not the guy who would play around with words, I am the guy who will try to talk a little, say that I like a girl, a little, and my behaviour will show it, even a bit.
I don't tend to act, especially so long, waiting for someone to recognise me or "reward" me.

I only knew I could be romantic because she gave me a chance. She actually listened to me, and responded, no matter how stupid I said stuff, not trying to put me down in any way.

Romanoff:
That both of you didn't end up together doesn't mean she's not submissive to the man she married. Shey you know.

That's what I am saying. She just does exude grace and warmth naturally. My first contact with her, she just can't help it, and she didn't know me before. I didn't have to do anything to "earn" it. What happened then was, I just kept going to her more and more. And then, during our final year, we broke contact because we were all trying to graduate and we didn't stay in our houses during those times. I finally wanted to tell her how I felt but she wasn't home then. I had her number but lost my phone along with it. I was a little lucky to have found her Facebook id years later. I didn't say hi since I found her new marital status. So yeah.

Romanoff:
I believe submission is earned. The man earns submission by loving his wife.

Take away the money many men have and see their marriage crumble cause the so called "true colours" of the woman appears cause the money was a tool used to keep her controlled.

Take it or leave it, argue it, it's my opinion and I stand by it.

If you are not courteous, submissive, or patient, you just can't be. If you have to wait for a man to "earn" it like it was some kind of special task within the home after the one outside, that's not his home.
Some girls exude grace naturally while others act like they can.
It's not your fault if you are not the type, you are good for something else, not what we are talking about right now. People are created different, and for good reason too. There's thing people do which I marvel at, that I just won't do.
There's this girl I still can't forget since we met back in school. When I found her later on with social media, I found out that she's now married. But I know what I am saying.

ymstar:
As if u know my mind

You guys are so funny. As you are waiting for that year and he refuses to come down nko?
Or he comes down and gives to his successor who's worse? What then?

Jones4190:
According to a 19th-century legend, the Truth and the Lie meet one day. The Lie says to the Truth: "It's a marvelous day today"! The Truth looks up to the skies and sighs, for the day was really beautiful. They spend a lot of time together, ultimately arriving beside a well. The Lie tells the Truth: "The water is very nice, let's take a bath together!" The Truth, once again suspicious, tests the water and discovers that it indeed is very nice. They UnCloth and start bathing. Suddenly, the Lie comes out of the water, puts on the clothes of the Truth and runs away. The furious Truth comes out of the well and runs everywhere to find the Lie and to get her clothes back. The World, seeing the Truth naked, turns its gaze away, with contempt and rage.
The poor Truth returns to the well and disappears forever, hiding therein its shame. Since then, the Lie travels around the world, dressed as the Truth, satisfying the needs of society, because, the World, in any case, harbors no wish at all to meet the naked Truth.

Or it's a single person who is a wife to everyone. When you present her naked to the world, it is truth. But when you cloth her, it's usually with a cloth called a lie.
Now who would want to present his naked wife to the world?
