You're still going on a merry go round. I will leave you to your Ignorance and FYI, I've travelled to at least 3 African countries and I know exactly what xenophobia means.

Didinrin!

Lol only 3? And you have become an authority on African affairs? Ok kwantinu. Wo omo Ghana ni mí şùgbón èmi ò ní bá'o be. Tí o bá pè mí ní dìdìrìn, èmi ò mind. Bí ó bá şe hùn è ni kì o şe. But note, I've been around and about enough to know your false premise on the subject matter does not hold. QED.

Being a racist is different from being racially abused. Oga!

I see a lot of comments some of them make online and that's what I form my opinion from.

Abi what does it mean when an Ethiopian says he's different from an African Negro with the typical dark skin and flat nose.

They believe they are Arabs period!

It's the same reason Fulanis kill and slaughter your kind like animals.

I don't have to visit Ethiopia to know what's going on there so just sit there and be talking rubbish just because you want to attack me.

Lol you're such a liar. This long epistle will not justify your claim. You see a lot of comment Ethiopians make online where? In fact riddle me exactly where you have seen them active online? Have you even been to Ethiopia before or you're sitting in the comfort of your corner and spewing something imaginary

SafeDavid:


There are lots of them on this Forum...Usually have racist tendency towards black Africans . They believe that are Arabs...

Uknown to them is the fact that even Yorubas are Arab Metros who migrated from the middle east.

Guy so why are you lying? Have you visited Ehtiopia to be racially abused? I mean for the life of me why do you have such deceptive sense of imagination? Yet y'all will be quick to accuse other African nations as xénophobes when all you do is sit online to spew concocted lies

what did you see as the first problem... Customer!!. When I mentioned cost I mean there ought to be ease that should be created by the government i.e business friendly environment. For instance, some unecessary charges that's is always incurred in import business then to power and all of that. It should be minimised.
Whatever capital your have or loan should be used in making your product better, attracting and retaining customers not used on unnecessary costs. If you keep using capital to clear your costs, you will run into debt in short time. Thats the case with many businesses. Capital should and always remain in the business. You should use your income to clear costs. In Nigeria, costs are usuall more than income, a reason many run by by loss and it accumulates till when they can't bear it again. YES, I run a business

You made some good points, but you know what, no true entrepreneur will expend resources on unnecessary cost.

Capital is sure needed, there is no doubt about that. But when I talk to an average Nigerian youth like me I always wonder how we can be industrialized when most of them just ordinarily accept the norm as the limit in what they can do, when you do what everyone else is doing there's no way you can get above your competition, And when you don't have an edge over your competition, that's what (packed up within five years means) regardless of the capital you started with.

I can't really call myself an entrepreneur because even though I own my business, I have no employees yet and I believe without them you are not really an entrepreneur yet. I don't have one not because I can't afford it but am yet to find an employee that won't keep telling me " let's not do that it's not been done before".

Alright. Tell you what, do this entrepreneurship thing full time (I mean full-time without any other job) for one year and get back to me and see if you will make a general statement about capital not being an issue. True you might be concerned about somethings with some entrepreneurs you've met, but with my experience over the years, I will never write-off anybody who has the balls to venture the entrepreneurial space no matter what. You will quickly learn in the entrepreneurial space that the road is not a straight as people who do not do entrepreneuship at all or even do it part-time might think.

I will never lie to any 'youngin' who seeks an opinion from me by telling them capital is not important. Capital is very important, provided it will he managed well and properly directed on the back of researched and informed guess. In fact this entrepreneurship thing is a while lecture if you ask me.

majekdom2:
if you have not figured, then you are not even on the success path yet. Go figure!
Have you considered who will buy your products and services? If you wish to know, that's a major factor. Second, the cost of running the business. Fees, levy, documentation, operating costs as power, e.t.c. On average these costs eats up returns and leaves most small business at heavy loss that takes years to clear cause it accumulates. So, before you try and get any loan, be sure that people will want your product and services.
If you are sure of customers... I don't mean friends and families, there is a chance your business will succeed.

There you talk about cost of running business yet you claim entrepreneurs do not need capital as a basic necessity. Smh. Are you an entrepreneur yourself?

blueseacats:
Lack of skills and innovative thinking.

And you think capital is not a problem? Are you an entrepreneur yourself?

Errrm unfortunately I'm not based in Naija just needed an explanation out of curiosity.

SmartChoices:

Lol don't be naive

Lol you keep saying this but you're yet to point out what the "hidden" EFF ideology is exactly. I understand if you owe an allegiance to ANC which will be very understandable considering the history of the rainbow nation, it however does not mean an endorsement of the current Zuma led party and vitriolic demonisation of EFF just because the actors in the seemingly "small" party are vocal and go against the script that all black South Africans must support the ANC no matter what. That will be wrong on all levels and posterity will not judge this generation kindly.

SmartChoices:

That's a lifetime assignment... Zarzar can help out

Lol, you have resorted to propaganda. That's not a good thing. Keep an open mind brother. I'm not from SA but I've taken my time to understand the SA politics to some extent and I know EFF has no hidden agenda. What you see is what you get.

SA goes beyond such grandstanding.... You need to really see what eff stands for. Forget the window dressing...

What does EFF stand for sir?

majekdom2:
I keep saying it Capital is the least of a problem for any business in Nigeria. These loans will turn into bad debt in the end creating more problems. Many so called "entrepreneurs'' are just looking for money to spend.

Really? So what is the real problem of Nigerian entrepreneurs?

Partnerbiz:
Forget even loans. Cost of running biz in naija is too much. Overhead cost alone can gulp 30% of those funds.
If we can fix power in Nigeria, most smes can survive. How can you even do online stuffs without power?
Even me as a data seller, I need power constantly and often use gen to power my gadgets.

Anyway see below for details...

Never heard about this data sales thing. How does it work?

SmartChoices:

You shouldn't have asked zarzar such a question.... There are a few civilised persons in EFF.... No ideology.. ...

Sir we don't want to go there. I'm not South African but I know what the EFF stands for. You can say sometimes the EFF way might be crude but it doesn't take away Malema's intellect even before he got a Bachelor's. You cannot on any day tell me that Mbuyiseni Ndlozi doesn't speak a lot of sense. Even if you have an entrenched political stance, you cannot possibly say that Leigh-Ann Mathys does not speak to the heart of issues nor can you say that Hlope despite her short comings doesn't hit the nail on its head when she's in her intellectual element.

What ideology do you want if not one that addresses the bread and butter issues of the ordinary South African in soweto or neglected miner in Marikana

ZarZar:


Nope. I'd rather vote DA

Lol I see... a female Mmaimane

ZarZar:



There have been no Xenophobic attacks. Never mind the thumb sucked stories you read about here. The main focus of South Africans at the moment is Zuma & not anyone else.

Yaaaay, so we agree now that you'll be voting for the EFF

SafeDavid:


The mistake OP made wasn't even about food but his choice of drinks. The babe probably would have looked awkward drinking beer while her man was sipping water.

That's what ticked her off. He could have at least had an alchoholic drink if not beer.

I'm sure she needed it to get in a more sensual mood but he bleeped up.

Lol but seriously, she should have just enjoyed her Heineken without bothering. I'm sure she was just concerned about what people around will think, but that shouldn't be her headache.

SafeDavid:


I didn't pretend and besides food na food and who told you I didn't get the business lol!

There's nothing bad in trying out something new esp food from different cultures.

I remember the first time I ever had Koko and lose..That's slightly different from ogi and akara. I actually puked and went right back to the same spot to have it the next day.

Just imagine travelling to a new place where you can't find food you're used to. So it's no big deal trying something new.

Well I'm not against trying new food. I actually do try new food every now and then. But I'm particularly beer-averse. I just can't take beer under no circumstance. I'm unable to stand bitter drinks. I take alcohol tho, but wine and some vodka mixed with coke (as in coca cola). In thé company of beer drinkers, I drink malt

RichlyOBS:
Jive?? please meaning

Jive - We will still connect and achieve whatever agenda we set out to achieve.

SafeDavid:


even if you've never had that type of food before. It's just courtesy..

I had a business meeting and the dude took me to their company restaurant and on our way he asked if I've ever had a type of food before and I answered in the negative he then ordered a Morsel and Afang soup..Some big green leafy soup like that. I ordered the same thing and that was my first time having that food and trust me I did not enjoy it one bit.

It's just courtesy.

So you pretended, and did you get the business?

Sorry I can't pretend. I will eat what I want and we will still jive.

SafeDavid:
She has a point. You could have asked for her preference of food and drinks and you tell her yours so you can make a good choice.

Besides courtesy demands that you ask for the same thing your partner orders or something slightly different.

Tha hell? He should eat what is partner is eating by force? What if they have different food tastes? Is this comment intentional?

decatalyst:
Bro, don't you know it is 'unethical' for you to order for just table water when others order for green or black bottles?

If you go out often, you will learn that there are dos and don't on a table at a bar.

Though the lady went overboard sha.

Gentleman, there are no dos and don'ts anywhere. Dos and donts are what you choose as an individual. You cant let society dictate to you. I don't drink beer and it doesn't matter whose company I'm in I'll never order beer. So if that doesn't sit well with anybody that's their BI, I can't be bothered.

lustra89:
Wait, like for real, he watch Porn with ur laptop and you picked a quarrel, and because he bought cheap items u also picked a quarrel, then why are u bothered with making things up with him, my friend get down from your high horse and be humble for one's, tomorrow I guess you will quarrel with him for using a sub standard sperm on you

Lol @ substandard sperm

I'm so fair, I'm almost ghostly. Even if I post a picture you won't see me, I blend with the background. BOOhoohoohoo!

Lol smh, I give up

ZarZar:


You sound just like me. I'm not afraid of conflict. I try to avoid it but when it comes I don't back down. The issue for me is FAIRNESS because I believe I'm a fair person. I always treat people how I want to be treated. So if I feel I'm being treat unfairly, I get confrontational. No more ms nice guy Hey, don't worry about the number of Is you used because you're discussing yourself after all. Only people with split personality speak in the 3rd person when talking about themselves

So, what did it (test) come up with this time around?

Oh you're fair? Picture or adunbilivit

Lol. So OP picked a fight with her bf because he was watching porn? Smh. Not because he was caught cheating o, because he was watching ordinary porn that 99.79% of men watch including pastors? OP must be a drama queen.
