Kudos to the Op, but d painful aspect of it is that many advocates of 'start small' base their write up on imagination. The truth is that our environment didnt support such. #MyExperience: Graduated in 2007, went for NYSC 2008/9, Busy searching for work frm march-sept '09, Started recharge card biz in Sept '09 when d biz started booming having moved frm retailer to wholesaler, d Abuja devt control demolished my kiosk on Nov 2011, tried another location but things are not the same again. |

#MyExperienceContinue: i used my savings to start carwash biz in Feb '12 and after few month,i became employer of labour, having 5 boys working for me. April 2013, the Abuja task force burnt my carwash machine arrest 3 of my boys whom we bail with 4500 each, in short we were sent parking from the location. Tried to get another good location yield no result but finally settled to start somewhere but expenses increase y income decreases. Not to finish up my savings, i return to village October 2013, |

#My small phone cant contain the story at once hence the break. #MyExperienceContinue: I started farming in the village during 2014 farming season but poor market, expensive and inadequate labour, CAPITAL are serious discourager. In essence, self employed isnt easy in our country especially if you dont have wealthy and influenced background. |

samuel25: I am sorry to hear this but your entrepreneurship spirit is never lost and one can definitely not compare your street skills to a grad in a company. You are still more likely to make it better than a grad in company. It might take longer but when you get there, you realize you will make it even 10x more than the crappy money they make working in a white collar job. One thing you need to know... some fields leads to bigger material gain than others..I met a guy who got into MLM and in 5 years his name is amongst the top richest in the world.

Right from the early days of my life I've always known i will do no good as an office worker..I love business so much that i felt sad leaving it just to get a university degree...Once i am through here God knows i can't help but go back to something i really love doing but of course in a bigger way...Graduate or no graduate man must start somewhere...Forget that rubbish phrase ''LEADERS OF TOMORROW''..Na wash.. An average bsc holder makes like 200 or 150k a month..God a month?..That's suicide.. 3 Likes |

iceberylin: This link is for an ad displayed on the homepage. It is a site called kitchen.com.ng I saw it yesterday, and clicked through it. It is a well made site which allows people order food online to be delivered to their offices, homes etc in Nigeria. Among its food offerings, is MOI MOI. That is the FREAKIN point of the OP's thread. It is all about packaging. While the illiterate would typically set up shup at a dirty bus stop, the more enlightened/educated one would create a premium service to deliver this same meal in a hygienic and respectable manner. Dangote would feel some type of way to stop at the grimy bus stop for moi moi, even if he craves it. However, he would not have a problem ordering moi moi from that website, on his lunch break at the office. Guy, catch head. All na packaging. 5 Likes |

samuel25: Have you ever heard the term "serial enttepreneur"? This highlights the fact that entrepreneurship inherently leaves a trail of failed ventures. There is not one succesful entrepreneur today who has not failed at business. The fact that your business hit the rocks, and you quit does not invalidate entrepreneurship. It only invalidates you as an entrepreneur. Real entrepreneurs at heart count their losses, and move on to the next project. 1 Like |

[quote author=jonuel1 post=26944636] People like you should go and live in sudan or cameroon for 10yrs and am sure on your return you will realise what a great nation Nigeria is. Is this not the same Nigeria that people are success stories and are celebrated around the world? If you dont see something good in others how are you suppose to see something in yourself. All the enemies of Nigeria will perish, they will never enjoy anything in life since they refuse to see anything good. Its easy to complain and difficult to built...only lazy people chose the easy way, they are possessed with the evil spirit of always complaining and not doing anything to better the situation. Ask yourself, what is your own contribution to making Nigeria better for all ? |
