Thanks alot for this ma
Is it advisable to buy bottled drinks too?

Bottled drinks would limit your customers cos only people who live within your environment would buy.

And since you said you'll be selling in bulk you won't find it easy selling it in crates because people no longer use bottled drinks for parties anymore. Thus making their demand very low.

Healthrelatedjo:
I need your opinion guys,I want to know if 200k will be enough for me to start a soft drink business.People in this line of business should please advise me.I won't be needing a freezer cos it's going to be sold in pack.
Thanks

It should. Just go directly to any distributor close to you and find out their prices. From there you should be able to draw a budget on how to buy and which drinks to buy. And since you're on a low budget, you have to buy drinks that are extremely high in demand so that you can easily sell them off and place orders for more.

Mtchewwwww!!!!!

Avoid me this period.

Are you seeing your period?

I'm asking for a friend. 🙄

What kind of lie is this.

Even those wraps of swallow would cost you a minimum of N800 in a local buka because of their size, when you add the proteins and soup, you'll hit 2k. By the time you add the area (Ikoyi) you'd be spending nothing less than 6k for that meal.

folake4u:
Lol as if you people are better.

This season, nor be una dey slack upandan.

Let me hear word jare.

Lol...last season we won Carling cup.

This season we won the FA cup, and qualified for Europa League.

That alone should erase all our errors of the season.

Una no see shi shi collect.

folake4u:
You dey craze. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

There are pros and cons in supporting a club. It is part of character development.

Even you sef, your club dey mess up many times.

We de mess up but we still de win trophies. Una own be say year in year out, shi shi una no de win. Na just to de run up and down for find then finish for 11 or 12.

Which kind club be that?

Crestaria:

Alternatively, if you've learnt the basics, you can scout for customers and give to those above you to cut then you sow it yourself.

You'll definitely be making something no matter how small pending when you'll be through with learning.

folake4u:
Hahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣

Imagine!!!!! Chelsea is my first love. Has ALWAYS been.

Eyah... meaning you're always heart broken. The Lord is your strength.

Hello guys,

Please which online card can be used to purchase a Google console account. My guy I do send money to usually help me with his bank dollar card. Notwithstanding, he usually delays the purchase after receiving the money and do charge me with higher rate.

Now, I want to be relief. Please can recommendation of a good, low rate, reliable and acceptable online card you have used as a developer/publisher to purchase a console account from Google.

Why not open a dollar account and get a dollar card like your friend, so that you won't have to subject yourself to his extortion anymore.

Crestaria:
Yes my plan too. Good idea but I am referring to now not when am done

Good morning

The patient dog eats the fattest bone.

folake4u:
Hahahahaha nor be lie sha. I don remember. Oya you don catch me.

Lmao Naz, leave me. You leave me for hand come wan press my neck. Heuuuu.

Thank God say you remember....

You talk say you no want. I get evidence here o. 😏

You wan follow mancity, lol...you sef know say una club no follow.

Crestaria:
Not a graduate,no certificate yet. And still on tailoring skill

Finish learning the tailoring, then advertise your business on social media, (IG, Facebook, Twitter...etc) your church, your environment...etc.

With time, the sky would be your limit.

Crestaria:
I understand you well,yes the amount is nothing to write home about, truly peanuts.

My dear 20k in a month or 5k weekly is good for me,cos I need to make money of my own,I am desperately in need of a source of income, reason why I said so, at least starting from the scratch is better than nothing,as time goes on one will venture into something more productive. Any idea please?

Are you a graduate, do you have any certificate, do you have any skill, whether tech skills or your normal everyday skill like tailoring, tile fixing, barbing...etc.

It's almost impossible to survive in Nigeria today without any skill.

folake4u:
You go buy me ManUtd jersey? You nor fulfil your promise last year.

I stand with Chelsea. You dey craze. Your team dey mediocre.

Lol... jersey way you no gree collect na him you de accuse me of not buying.

Chelsea ba wo. Oya de there na. Na championship una go enter next season. 😜

Crestaria:
55k weekly is peanuts? Wallahi as I am like this ,if I see 5k weekly I will be over joyed.

55k weekly is about 220k monthly. That's peanuts in this Tinubu's administration cos that amount can't even get you a decent 1 bedroom flat in Lagos or any big city. It can't even feed you and your family.

The 5k you're advocating for is about 20k in a month. How do you intend to survive on such amount?

folake4u:
Naz, it's like you're in love with me oh. This one you keep mentioning my monicker these days.

Me? Port to Manyoo? I rather eat pap.

I'm only inviting you to join greatness. If you call it love, so be it. I've been worried about your shepe team year in year out no single trophy. (Una don de drag am with arsenal) That's why I offered to accommodate you on the winning side. 😜

pocohantas:

I understand all this. But I was also wondering how 55k a week is living lavishly when a paint of garri is N4500. Maybe he doesn't pay rent and lavish is relative.

I mentioned ManU because I wanted to believe he is a footballer and the 55k weekly is not in Naira. Nothing personal as ManU is my first love.

He's most likely still under his parents roof that's why he used the word lavish. Cos when you're not paying rent or spending on the feeding and you're making 55k weekly, you're obviously a big man regardless of how hard the economy is.

Wao never knew you were a united fan. We're simply the best.

@ folake4u better come and join us. Everybody is porting to Manu I don't know what you're still doing in that agbero club.

pocohantas:

Is the 55k he mentioned dollars?
Is he playing for ManU or what?

According to his story, he makes 55k weekly and he's looking for how to save that money in order to reduce the way he lavishes it.

55k weekly is peanuts in this Nigerian economy. Cos it's less than 300k in a month.

But that doesn't mean that if he saves it in dollar for a year he can't invest it in a side hustle, thus increasing his streams of income.

Look at it his way. $100 currently is about 136k. his 55k weekly would be about 220k (or more) every month.

If he saves $100 for 12 months, it would be about $1,200 with the current exchange rate it should give him about 1.6m. If naira depreciates more, he'll definitely have up to 2m by the end of one year.

If you ask me, I'd say that money can be put into good use. He can even set up a POS stand and be making good profit every week.

But wait o! Wetin carry Manu enter this matter, do you want to become a Manu fan? You're free to join us if you love the club that much. I'll even welcome you with one jersey when the season resumes by August.

Open a dollar account in any of the commercial banks and transfer half of what you earn into it every week.

As the naira keeps tumbling, the value of the money you're saving in dollars would keep increasing without you having to break a sweat.

After a year, buy a land in your state capital and build a residential block of flats for rent.

Thank me later

Why is the government attacking Multichoice? I'm not really their fan cos I'm part of those paying through my nose to keep enjoying their services.

The problem here isn't from Multichoice but from the government. TV rights are expensive especially Premier League, then when you add multiple taxation and other harsh policies by the government, you'd discover that they too have to keep increasing their subscription rates so as to remain in businesses.

I think it’s just 3. The rest ain’t dots

Explain how you got just 3 dots?

EreluRoz:
I agree with you but don't forget that those oldies are now veterans and still in the system and taking most of the decision at the grassroots

Most of them have left politics. The few who remain have become notorious godfathers. Thus forcing their political sons to seek spiritual protection.

Case study. Wike and Fubura.

EreluRoz:
Well, I know some handful that are clean, they have been in politics before it became bastardized

If you tell me politicians from the 1999-2007 up till 2010 era, I'll agree with you. But you see from 2015. Everything about politics in Nigeria became a covenant.

Shebi it was in ogun state that one senator took all his aids to shrine to swear. The thread made home page here on Nairaland sometime last year.

EreluRoz:
If you know me well enough you will take back your statement. You will still find politicians that are not into cultism. Politics down there is very dirty but it doesn't apply to other areas of the country.

No cultist (I'm not talking of street and university cultists) would tell you he's into a fraternity.

They're so secrete that even their wives don't even know that they're members of a society. You'll only know if they have interest in you. So you can know a politician for 10 years and above and still not know that he belongs somewhere. It's not a matter of how close you are to them. Cos they don't flunt their status openly.

DaddyCoool:
Because they have excess money, and you never hear of any of them skull-mining a young lady

Lol...stop sounding like this biko. You're embarrassing me.

How many of your leaders have EFCC paraded with mugshots since 1999? They parade criminals every now and then. How many governors, senators, ministers have they paraded?

Let me educate you. Almost every politician in Nigeria has one or more spiritualist and hitmen. They keep the spiritualists for protection and keep the hitmen to eliminate their enemies.

So if any of those girls disappears as a result of sacrifice or any other thing, would you expect the police to arrest the politician? They would silence them with money and everyone would keep mute.

EreluRoz:
What did your uncle ask you?

Not all politicians belong to a society but I know southern politics in recent times is deadly

You clearly know nothing about Nigerian politics. Ordinary PA sef, you dem go carry you enter underground not to talk of the main politics.

DaddyCoool:
But they make perfect and very generous secret sweethearts, quite contrary to your point

And you know this because?

DaddyCoool:
Ok, how did Tinubu make his billions? Or most of these billionaire politicians who did nothing but politics all their lives!

They stole and are still stealing from the country. That's why it's impossible to trace their wealth cos it was almost non existent before they entered politics.

Besides basically all Nigerian politicians are in one secrete society or the other.

I knew this the day I told one of my wealthy uncles to support me for local government chairman in my state immediately after my NYSC. The question he asked me shocked me till this day.

EmmyMaestro:
When you we kids, there was one Nollywood movie called " after school hours ". It had a group of children that were witches and wizards, they had a coven where they met, they killed people and turned into cats.

When the mother of one of the lead casts saw the movie, she could not sleep at home with her daughter in the same house, she ran to a church to spend the night there

I remember this movie. Sandra was the name of the lead witch and the late sam loco was the head master of the school. I watched it around 2010 or thereabout on one of our local channels. Maybe MBI or so. It's really been a long time.

Nkaliki, close to Ebonyi state house of assembly.

Nkaliki. That's where I registered my voters card. There's one local government office around there.

We're already in planting season. Yam, cassava and corn. Those are what you see in literally every farm you come across. They do plant rice around August. Kai, I de miss east sha.

I wish you the best in your farming. 👍

EreluRoz:
Prior to when he was deported he had a very successful business as alleged by his friend

Lol@ his friend. Do you expect his friend to say otherwise?

I hope you know that hushpuppy also had a very successful business. A lot of celebrities flocked around him, people literally looked up to him until his bubble bursted. I remember asking someone back then what exactly does hushpuppy do he started calling me a bad belly.

Anybody who cannot explain to you in lay man terms how he makes his money. Or the kind of business you know he does cannot afford the kind of lifestyle he's living shouldn't be on your list of secret sweethearts. Cos he's most likely into fraud and rituals.
