This is indeed a very good piece. Sometimes I wonder what will one do to be successful in Nigeria and the steps to be taken, are there any predefined steps one should take to be successful? I've finished service for almost a year now but I've been at home since doing nothing (I must not be at home for 5 years and above before my own case will be critical na), I've even submitted proposals and came up with good business ideas but "nothing come out", right now instead of just stayin idle and thinking my life away I chose to teach myself Web design and do some freelance social media marketing on the side.
Everything just de weak me I swear. God will definitely make a way for us.

I wanted to dismiss this as a tribalistic statement but i realised that you are telling the truth.
So let me put sentiments aside for once and ask these questions as a yoruba woman to any igbo man.
Would any igbo man here in lagos o or back in the east take a yoruba man under his wing as an apprentice if he came to him and said he wanted to learn?
Also trade may not be the yoruba's strong suit but not everybody can trade if not the competition would be hostile like it is back in the east.
You also seem to forget that the igbos are not really accomodating people, they hardly share their expertise with anyone else unlike the yorubas who share their wealth of knowledge. Also don't forget that yorubas are usually pioneers in their fields before igbos come to dominate the market and i will give you two examples telecommunication and entertainment

miraclear:
This is indeed a very good piece : Well permit me to digress :

Everything that you are going to read now is a wake up call to the tribe called YORUBA in Nigeria by a yoruba man.written out of burning passion for correcting the abnormality in what is obvious.

We the yoruba's are one of the most privilege tribe of all - 40 years of western education,Lagos Sea Port to mention a few, please keep reading before you comment.


1 In the area of TRADING : Think of Lagos Sea Port as the major port for most imported goods into this country since we dont produce jack even toothpick who then should be the richest tribe before you contest google Amazon.Ebay , and Alibaba.com net worth

Let me give you on candid illustration.An average Igbo Man in Aria Market in Aba,Abia State will use this same Lagos sea port to import BOXER PANT MATERIAL takes it to Aba to produce then take it to Lagos to distribute to the whole Nigeria if not west africa.Do the Maths if 20
percent of 180milliom nigerian wear only ONE of this local Boxer throughout the year = 36million.Remember that no matter how poor you need minimum of 4 in year. That means that Ibo Man is making 144million naira simply IMPORTING , SOWING and DISTRIBUTING BOXER underwear using the Lagos Sea Port.


Lesson : Open to constructive dialogue, im yet to see a yoruba man into this,infact i have advice some tailors to do it to kill idleness, the reply i get is " That is not part of what I learn to sow ?


2 In the Artisan Cottage Industry : Since we all may not pass through school,there is no gain saying that the yoruba race are ahead when it comes to learning handwork. Good and fine.But we missed it when a teenager say a Boy learn - Barbing, Mechanic , Cobbling and the young girl Learn Hairdressing, Make up Artist for instance. After graduation, the "POOR BOY " or " GIRL'S PARENT " is expected to RAISE MONEY for graduation ceremony, RAISE money to Get a Shop, RAISE money to Equip the shop too.This boy now turn to a Bus Conductor or Agbero or Area boy, Social Miscreant and the girl turn to Hawk Bread or do other menial jobs to make ends meet simply because they could practice what they spend years to learn ? Too bad i ?hink .

Lesson : The Reverse is the case in IBO land we yoruba should learn from it. After a boy or a girl is done learning the Trade or handwork, the Boss Look for a location, Rent a Shop for the Poor Boy or Girl, Equip the Shop and handover for the Poor boy to become a Man and the poor Girl a Woman.There is dignity in Labour,in TIMAYA'S voice - Make my suffer no loss O, for a better tomorrow.

That's all.
Nigeria has failed all formulas..

0b100100111:
1. Know people that count!

2. Know people that matters!

3. Know people that call the shots!


In summary, it's about "Connection". Who do you or your father knows.

#BittterTruth

Outside Nigeria, other things might work.

All of you mentioning connection, how does connection work ?

(( Do you expect the highly placed person to offer you something if he wont gain from you first.
))

How do you PRESENT VALUE to this highly placed person so that he will pick interest in you ?

Give him something he needs, VALUE, then he will give you what you need, MONEY.

The last question up there is how to make money ! Nobody doles out SYMPATHY...

This is my little contribution from how i started my business

hardwork

Vision and Determination

Go to Lagos Island and see Igbo's taking up Yoruba apprentice but they hardly stay to learn the trade, claiming maltreatment, tribal sentiment and verbal abuse.

Clearly, we should constantly plead God's grace, but I meant what we as humans should do, human efforts is what I meant, because it's in our efforts that we ask for Grace to prosper.

Sharp, where's your location?

Ojisik:
1. Hard work and skill.

2. Emotional Intelligence

3. Ass kissing (not literally, I mean being extra humble with people you need favors from)

4. Corporate politics because man is by nature a political animal.

5. Divine Favor (This is the most important)

6. Personal (etiquette, presentation skills etc) and Professional development.

This is not an exhaustive list though, I'm here to learn as well.

Interesting outline, but you know those terms are relatively broad and can easily mean different things to different people and in different circumstances, all the same good ones.

True. I agree with you. As humans, one thing common in all of us is that our intuition tells us when we're overdoing something.

I believe that with wisdom from God and experience that comes with time, we will learn how to interpret the above as applicable to us.
