Hi guys,

I am seriously looking into the importation of a mass market consumable products (e.g snacks). Being a mass market product, its success is very dependent on effictive distribution of the product. Could you guys please give advice on the most effective way to get the product out there.

Cheers

Its extremely difficult for tribal marks to be removd or reduced in African / African americans. This is becauseof the fact that we produce a lot of scar tissue with any invasion/breakage of the skin. Any process to try and even it out would require further breaking the skin which could lead to worse results (ask seal)

oh yeah just researched , the submarine fibre optic cable is called SAT-3/WASC/SAFE

I recently joined this forum, and what i havee realised is that those Nigerians that are myopic in nature and thought are people who expect instant results. They want an instant solution to hunger (probably by the government dedicating a larget sector of its annuall budget). The thing is it doesnt work like that. Change on a scale such as a country is gradual. Allocating larger budjets to things like hunger just means other sectors of the budget would suffer and then those people would keep on complaining. As quite a number of people said, we need to come out of short sightedness.

Nigeria was labelled as a "High Risk" country for investments partly because infrastructures were not available to facilitate some kinds of business investments. MTN came, had to take some time to set up necessary infrastructure and set up a GSM network and because of that , thousands if not millions of direct and indirect employment opportuinities have been created which only helps to improve the GNP.

I also do not believe on that issue of having to build satellites. Those developed countries that currently manufacture things like satellites, developed over a very long period. I see no reason why we have to go through the same phase when we can easily use their experience to help us jumpstart our own development.

The only point that i can take out of those myopic people is if Nigerians would be able to effectively use these ammenities and infrastructure, but i believe Nigeria is becoming more technology concious and once the infrastructures are there, there will be people who would be able to use it effectively. Dont forget there are a lot of highly skilled Nigerians also schooled abroad who have more than sufficient skills .

P.S: Im hoping to also raise an awareness of the High bandwidth cables running through the indian and atlantic oceans (SAT-1 to 3). I discovered quite a lot of Nigerians do not even know about. it its about time we started explioting its potential
