I am a photographer and doing very well. I went and took a laon of 2.5 million to buy large format printer (banner printing machine) I have nearly finished paying the loan, but I don't think I have made up to 200k from the machine. reason maybe my location or maybe because I'm new or because I may not have done enough adverts. I really don't know. The machine is just lying ideal, in fact I have not printed for the past 3 week. I am even looking for a partner who can do either of the above: 1, buy the machine from me at a cheaper rate 2, pay on installment on a higher purchase 3, take the machine to another location where you are sure it will boom and be paying me weekly/monthly if interested whatsapp me on 0.70.5 6.03. 1551 9 Likes 1 Share |

Dimejimichael: So sorry about that.... Please are you still into the importation business, do you still copy and send her the link to make orders for you? If yes just drop a reply will give you a better alternative where you can place your order directly from them free of charge. Thanks 2 Likes |

Few years ago, during my NYSC days, I was involved in a business with a foreign clients(one of the UK Pharmaceutical industries) with a Nigerian man acting as middleman. The amount involved was large and the quantity needed was over 30 tonnes. After spending my money running around to get info on where and how to source the needed materials and logistics(find out how to move it to Lagos), the Nigerian guy played oversmart(greed) by cutting/shutting me off and getting the material himself i.e he wants to act as middle man and the supplier(me) at the same time, just to have the profit(over 5m naira) to himself. Sensing that something fishy has happened, I kukuma spoiled everything by alerting the white men on his actions and giving them vital details on the sourcing. Although he was sacked and the white men sourced the material themselves, but the pain that we could have shared the money if actually that is what he wants made me feel hurt. 40 Likes 2 Shares |

Tokskob2008: Thank you for understanding the secret. Mechanics are criminals. I have lost an American used car too like that. I was the first user of the car. So I now diagnose my car issues before choosing who to fix it for me. 17 Likes |

I can remember vividly in the year, 2004 when I used the first money that I hustle after graduation to a stupid GNLD that a Rev. Introduced me into. I wasted 25k then on that stupid business. Not only that, I trekked all the nooks and cranies Benin City hawking medicine After this business debacle, it remain small may I use Stone Stone any body preaching all these food supplements stuff. After enough hungry wire me for that City, na so I take run run back to my state and later got a contract job at the bank that marked the turning point in my life 28 Likes 1 Share |

I don't like to sound tribalistic but I will still convey my message. I ventured into catfish business. After raising money to feed the fishes for months, hausa people came in the Early morning and packed my fishes. I sold the remaining few we could find in the pond. Such is life 11 Likes 2 Shares |
