Can anyone give me an insight into how to procure contracts from Dangote. I am particularly interested in rice and cement. Can anyone explain the process from a-z please.

Kind Regards,
Jomi

I am really catching your drift and anyone else who is on the same wave length. I know generally people back home in our beloved country has various notions about people who live abroad and now let's have a more interesting conversation.

I know for a fact that you cannot just relocate without having done a proper feasibility study and that includes going to Nigeria fairly regularly. Secondly, not everyone who lives abroad have a lot of money even though some people have been away for quite a while. Therefore my line of thought is to look at grassroot level on more viable businesses. When you talk about million/s being invested in stock market not everyone is able to go that way or able to afford it.

So if you guys are looking out for your bros and sis away from home can you post great ideas on 'soft' businesses or services that the nigerian based people do not have. To date we hear of fish farming, pig farming, buying of stocks etc is this all you can honestly advise us on?

Hi
Just let you know that you are not the only one in that situation. I live abroad and I have been away for many years as yourself. The first steps to start venturing into is to visit regularly and do stuff like shop yourself, i.e. in the local market, do not shy away from hagging in the market and test grounds on many issues and believe me there are some geninue good people out there and there are others who feel that because you live abroad your are bringing money back in bucket loads.

To answer your question, you cannot begin to put a price on your relocation. It also depends on what you intend to do in terms of business when you get back home. I have been in the relocation process for three years. I started by putting my children in boarding school and then I visit regularly to try the way of life but if you need us to share ideas, let me know and we can talk.

Fish And Pig Farming

Hi you good people out there.

I would like tremendous support with starting two projects. The first is pig farming and the other is fish farming. I have already gotten an acre of land and would put that to very good use. I know that i am a complete novice when it comes to both projects but I am willing to put a lot of hard work into both any simple guides?
