THE REAL NIGERIA
I just realized that the
hardship faced by many Nigerians is simply as a result of the fact that almost everyone of us benefited from the cycle of corruption.
The bricklayer, plumber, labourers, tiler are all
complaining because building construction has slowed down massively cause the thieves no longer have money to spend on real estate.
The car dealers are
grumbling because their cars are begging for buyers.
Thieves can no longer spend wastefully.
The private school owners are shouting because parents can no longer pay outrageous sums and are withdrawing their wards.
I was shocked when I learnt that in a popular private University in Abuja, parents are writing undertaking at the account section for their children to be allowed to write exams... and it goes on and on.
The fact is, a lot of people are returning to what
someone referred to as ''default mode''.
We mostly have been living above our REAL MEANS.
We have been staying in houses that ordinarily our
incomes can't afford.
Our children going to schools we can't afford. Driving cars we ordinarily can't maintain.
We have been living a FAKE LIFE all along.
Now the reality is before us and we don't want to accept it.
This shows how morally bankrupt we are.
You can't eat your Cake and have it. TAKE NOTE.........
You got billions from bank without collateral using your political influence.
You put half into your business and spent the other half on exotic cars, jewelries' etc.
Your business employs 100 people normally. You get illegal waivers and concessions to import raw materials at rock bottom prices, you get over inflated contract to supply government some goods your company produce....
in short your company is kept afloat by corruption.
You have been paying Tithes, Sowing Seeds that includes money from corruption and inflated contracts.
Now, the new Sherriff in town say NO more ridiculous waiver, NO more inflated contracts, NO more bank loans without collateral, in fact its time you or your company pay off the billions of debt owed.....
AMCON takes over your company, staff are laid off......
And you go on air and say the new sheriff is killing business and causing unemployment..
The truth is....you and your company were never in business, you were only feeding off the corrupt system.
Too many companies and banks are funded by corruption.
Remove corruption from the system and they collapse.......and we end up blaming the person that remove corruption for the collapse of the corrupt company.
Its like our system and corruption are so interwoven and un-separatable twins, that, removing one will kill the other.
Maybe we should tolerate and learn to live with corruption so that Nigeria can survive?
But count me out of the BRING BACK OUR CORRUPTION campaign.
Blessed are the few incorruptible and hardworking Nigerians, for they shall be rewarded by the new emerging Nigeria.

This man mean well to this country take it or leave it. America is great today is not because of the government but the citizen. And the majority of job created in America is not done by the government but the citizen. Oil boom Is nigeria's problem. Let the change that we're expecting to see begins with us.

Please who knows how to do screeding perfectly well. Help me out. I do see some people using cement and some using the screeding mulder. Please which one is the best and what is the difference. What is needed to get it right (chemical\tools) help

[left][/left]
What is the next line of action? Economy recession, we are already in. What part should we play as a patriotic citizen? And What do you thing the government should do in other to elevate us from this chaos.
This is my own take;
I believe in due time, things will get better. If the country fails, it's not only the Mr president that it will affect the most rather. it will affect every body(we all). Irrespective of the fact that am not happy with the way things are going, I still believe that sooner or later all this will make us stronger. but instead of us to criticise only, let's also be constructive in are criticism. Before China could be at its position today, they all surfer same fate that we are facing, Japan faces the same thing, south korea surfers the same fate. Don't also forget that some other countries are also going through the same problem that we are facing as a result of a fall or downward change in oil price. This isn't about party. Let's drop party sentiment and say the truth. Cause even if it was pdp they'll do nothing. America is great today, it's not because of the government, but the collective effort of the citizen. America is the highest indebted nation in the world and you barely hear them talk about it and if so, why are we selling our problem out to the world. For nigeria to succeed, it has to be a collective responsibility of you and I. My prof; would say that 'necessity is the mother of invention' am glad that we are going through this economy recession now because it has clearly opened our eyes. Thus the country was so so much depending on oil and neglecting other sector. At least it has bring back our tension to the drawing board. But at this juncture I have to end here but for the main time I have this for you.
RECESSION GALORE! WE ARE IN ALREADY...SO,
LEARN HOW TO MANAGE TILL WE GET OUT
Here are some things to cut down on in order to
make it out of this recession financially sane.
*Generator usage*
It’s bad enough the economy is crumbling faster
than a cookie but how many Nigerians can recall a
lengthy spell of uninterrupted power supply.
Our standby household generators have for years,
been doing what the government cannot do for us.
Now that the situation is getting dire, generator
usage should be restricted to specific hours and to
take care of necessities.
Comfort can wait till recession is over and we are
out of troubled waters.
*Eating out*
Anyone who actually cooks will know that
restaurants serve overpriced, often unsatisfying
food.
So instead of taking your hard earned money to
pay for ‘fancy’ food, go to the market, buy raw
food and head to the kitchen.
You’ll save so much money.
*Driving walkable distances*
The cost of fuel is higher than it has ever been in
Nigeria’s history, so why not kill two birds with
one stone while going for short errands.
Take a walk or go for a run while running your
errand. Your body and pockets will thank you.
*Bulk buying of groceries*
Constant grocery shopping can be such a chore so
we tend to buy in bulk.
However, a disadvantage of bulk buying is that
some goods may expire or spoil before you get
around to using them, hence cut your grocery
shopping list down to necessities.
Get what you need and not what you think you will
need.
*New clothes and shoes*
Your old clothes are perfectly fine!
Oh you think people have noticed you’ve had that
shirt for a while? Frankly, it’s nobody’s business.
As long as your clothes are not obviously tattered,
there is no use going cloth shopping every week to
impress people and depress your bank account.
*Hanging out*
We all love spending quality time with friends and
family but instead of going someplace where you’ll
spend more than you budgeted for (more often
than not), invite them to your house and plan
activities everyone can participate in.
You’ll create a stronger bond and more lasting
activities while saving money.
*Vacations abroad*
Also known as “the king of excesses”, vacationing
abroad is officially a luxury at this point in time.
Why go and spend your hard earned ‘naira’ in a
foreign country contributing to the growth of their
economy while leaving yours in the backseat.
Stay at home!
*DSTV subscription*
You don’t need to pay for all the channels. It’s not
a competition.
You hardly ever watch more than 15 of the
channels on the premium package, so why the
bother?
The smallest bouquet has news channels for the
grown-ups and cartoons for the kids.
*Water as opposed to juice and sodas*
Some people think there is an award for living
lavish. News flash: there isn’t.
Most of these processed drinks you desire to gulp
down your throat with every meal are not even
good for your health and they definitely cost more
than water. Drink water, you’ll live longer.
*Unnecessary phone calls*
Restrict your airtime to calls with purpose (work,
business).
There’s no need to ask your friend what he/she is
eating or staying on a call for an hour discussing
what nail polish color to wear to an event.

Dagaya:
Oh well. you nailed it. there are more oh, his body odor, cluelessness, dictorial tendencies and his refusal to show us his certificate.
I would just manae the seven you put up there.
Clueless government
Clueless party
Visionless, directionless and clueless president

mrmiyagi2:
Thats true but not as regards this. it is impossible for such a project to be conceptualized, planned and executed within one year. 3 years at least. All in all its a good development which i applaud the previous government for. It walked its talk on agricultural revolution especial in an industrial scale and i hope this government improves on it and not these pedestrian ideas i hear all the time like one day off for farming - RUBBISH.
Nigeria is currently and steadily increasing its capacity for rice production and this would also add to the consistent (approximately 7.5%) drop in food imports yearly for the past 4 years (ps.data for this year yet to be released)

What should I call you? Is it buahri that is constructing this project or federal government?. Oboy receive some sense oooooo. This company is privately owned not FG. So the owner decide where to site his company beside his from kano.

anath:
Thanks I really appreciates this info of yours,but can the price of palm oil also increase during raining season in south south? This is my number( +2348158452063)sir lets talk more on watsapp!

Sure it's even as a result of the increment In the south, and south east region that even make it so or extremely high in the north. As I am talking to you, the price of one jerry can in south now is about 12k. So you can store it in south and still resale it in south without taking it to the north. Imagine you have up to 100 jerry can an your making an average profit of 5k on each jerry can. Let's calculate the profit just the profit( 5,000 profit on each jerry can * 100 jerry can) 5,000*100=500,000.. this is one investment with the lowest risk rate, and you don't need much capital in other to start it. Although your capital determine your return. I hope your ok good luck with your quest. Winnah.com

girlfromafrica:
Is it possible to operate this business without being physically present in these locations?...since I have a full time job.

It is very very possible on the scale of 100, it's 99.5%. It doesn't requires much from you. You can even make it looks like networking. If the cost is 4,500, without employing anyone, just let them know that anyone who bring one jerry can will get 500, or you bring someone that will sale at the actual price 4500, then for every jerry can the person sale to you, him as agent will get 500 from u th means the more jerry can you bring or the more person you bring the more they will receive money from you ok let assume anyone who bring 10 jerry can of red oil will receive 5k e.i 500*10) and if bring 20 jerrycan that person will receive 10k. So see it as if your buying each jerry can for 5k. Doing it this way, you've relive your self from the bottle neck of sourcing for the product an indirectly your creating employment. Abeg is this not networking. (it just a suggestion ooooo) but doing it this way will give you time to do other stuffs and to see your self as a boss. Good luck in your quest

girlfromafrica:
Wow, more great info and more info please like where is palm oil cheapest? how do you transport it? who do you sell to?

...I also hope you don't mind if I share this with my network?

About your question: first who to sale it to. Palm oil is like gold, just have the product and don't be in a hurry to sale, palm oil is not a perishable goods, you don't need to advertise it, but get it when it's cheap basically during dry season and be ready to make huge returns during raining season. Where to get it cheap, I believe this product is cheap in every where except north. Observe seasons. But research shows that it's cheap in ebonyi, imo, abia Calabar, anambra, enugu. Etc. But I will tell you that the best thing to observe is it season. It very simple, buy it during dry season (this is when it's cheap) and sale it during raining season(now the price is always very high). I hope your ok with my reply? Good luck in your quest.

...I also hope you don't mind if I share this with my network?

No problem, your free to share. But my advice to you is that you shouldn't go into the business now (between this august and september) because the price now is very high (this is period were people do sale off old stuck) the reason why dis product is usually high now is because of too much rain. Palm oil business is usually in season (dry season this is period where the product will be in abundance dew to the weather, so this is the best time to store the product; thus raining season, this period, the product is usually very scares dew to much rain and as a result of this the price will be very high. A jerry can now is between 11-14k. But by Dec the price should go down to like 5k. And from January to April the price would go for as low as 4-4500. Then by July to September is the best time to sale it off, during this period you can realize 100 -112% profit. (profit of 4-6k) per jerry can. Best of luck in your quest. From winnah.com

There are hundreds of small businesses which are thriving in the Nigerian society today. Some of these small businesses are already yielding hundreds of thousands of naira to your neighbours and peers.

It's time to wake up and smell the coffee! Instead of waiting all year for a white-collar appointment that might not even be forthcoming, here are 20 small businesses you could start up with little capital while you wait for that dream job. You can start all these businesses with 20,000 Naira (aprroximately $70) or less.

Technology Businesses

#1 Recharge card printing

The recharge card you use are mostly not printed by the big telecommunications giants you subscribe to. They are printed by everyday people like you. If you do your research well, you can start this business with as little as #20,000.

#2 Selling fairly used computers and TVs

A host of Nigerians cannot afford to purchase brand new computers, laptops or TV sets. You could open a shop which collects used laptops and TVs and then sell them at a higher price, after refurbishing. Don’t see this as difficult, lots of people are already doing it. The first step is to get a shop or space, the rest comes with diligence.

#3 Selling fairly used phones

Just like the small business above in #2, this one involves little or no skill. It can be engaged in by anyone including students. Return on investment is almost guaranteed. Once again, diligence is key. However, I would advice that you carry out in-depth research on how to tell "good market" from "bad market".

#4 Mini cyber café

Cyber café have gone out of fashion, true. But students still need to register for JAMB, WAEC, NECO, post-UTME etc. People who are not digital savvy also need to register for several things online including the very important national passport. This is where you come in. This small business can be started right at the comer of your house.

Food Businesses

#5 Preserving and selling of beans

During the harvest season in Nigeria, foodstuff such as beans become very cheap. You can take advantage of this and buy, store and preserve them to sell during the planting season. You need to first have space for storage.

#6 Buying and reselling of rice or garri

Rice, especially local rice as well as garri, is cheaper in some states of the country than in others. You could start a business buying and selling these foodstuffs with as little as #20,000. You, however, need to be committed to making it work as it requires a lot of logistics.

Animal husbandry

#7 Fish farming

Small scale fish farming is easy to start and requires low capital. You can start this right at your backyard with a large basin, few fingerlings that can fit in it and fish feed. However, I advise you do some in-depth research first.

#8 Snail farming

Just like fish farming, small-scale snail farming is also lucrative. It, however, requires that you take your time to understand how it’s done first.

#9 Poultry farming

This one requires a little bit of skill but also promises a high return on investment. You can start this with a few chicks and a make-shift cage right in your backyard.

“My best advice to entrepreneurs is this; forget about making mistakes, just do it.” – Ajaero Tony Martins

#Advice: These small business ideas require planning and lots of patience to grow into profitable businesses. Don't be scared of failing, just do it!

Service Businesses

#10 Dry cleaning

No matter how many dry cleaning shops are out there, more are still needed. You can start with dry cleaning at home for neighbours. Get a business card and distribute it. Start with manual washing if you don't have a washing machine; no one cares as long as their clothes are clean, ironed and smells nice. Make your business stand out and you will excel.
