Octavo !!! You don join this one too? Calm down bros ![]() @ catered4 nice post. Why don't you look into Yams?? You buy yams from Niger State and Benue and send to Porthacourt. Its profitable very. But you have to be knowledgeable on some things. I believe you will figure out. Nice post by the way 1 Like |

My adventurous journey to aleiro onion market in kebbi state.... I actually base in lagos but grew up in kd. I was on break so I decided to visit my family in kaduna so this post made me have a second tot about this biz even if I had it in mind for a very long time but couldn't venture cause I procrastinate a lot and I think I have killed that procrastination. I woke up one morning thinking is this how am going back to lagos without any other means of income? I said no to my self and I picked my phone and called some of my course mate who are from kebbi state. Fortunately, one of my junior cadet is currently based in aleiro working in the university exactly where the onion is sold. The next morning, I booked a bus to kebbi, was a long journey of about 8 hours from kaduna. I was complaining of the weather in kaduna not knowing there are places that the weather can cook yam without fire. The breeze blowing was like I was bathing with boiled water. I got to kebbi at about 4pm, and from kebbi to jega about 30 mins and from jega to aleiro about 15mins. Did a market survey and left to sokoto where I slept. I had in mind to visit the onion market in sokoto to see things for myself especially the storage facilities but I realized if I don't leave sokoto in the morning, I can't make it back to lagos tomorrow. I use to hear the north is blessed but I didn't know fully well how blessed we are in the north but I think I now understand. I saw a full water melon for 100 naira which I use to buy in kaduna for 200 and lagos for 500, pepper of different varieties. Thanks catered4 for the post cause it inspired me and I can also help answer questions to the best of my knowledge and what I have seen . Here are some pictures I took but it was a bit dark cause I was only able to charge at about 7pm lastnite. 3 Likes

Hello Catered4, Pls do you have any idea of palm oil business? I mean when it can be gotten cheaply. Thanks. |
Re: A Nairalander Tales Of Her Onions Business by Nobody: 10:54pm On Apr 09, 2015 |
@ Octavo, palm oil is plentiful here in the south south. I mean good ones, straight from the mill. If you are interested, we could partner and make something out of the opportunity. @Catered4, I'm sure you can see what far reaching effect this your initiative is having on the lives of some of us. Keep up the good work God bless you dear. Nice job, @ Galads 2 Likes 1 Share |

Any business that requires buying and selling requires a lot of research. Yesterday I was at mile 12 market and was shocked to find out that a bag of onion is even more cheaper in lagos than from the source. I noticed there are a lot of onion from Lastweek everywhere in the market. A Lot of people did wrong calculations, bought a lot before the gubernatorial and couldn't sell because of the state of the nation. My point, always make your research before trading at every point before you burn your fingers. Peace 3 Likes |

Galads: Thanks for your write up but as you indicated due dilligence needs to be done in any business venture before going into it but that alone doesnt do anything other than make you aware of the risk, it doesnt eliminate the prospect of a loss as there are other factors that affect the marketability of a product. A one day visit to a market doesnt qualify as a research as you need to study the trends over a number of month or years in some cases and despite the best researches the effects of demand and supply will always take its course. There is no business that is foolproof , you will need to learn as you go along, you will probably learn more from mistakes than you will learn from any research. The election period isnt the right time to get the correct pulse of the market becasue of all the uncertainties that are tied the the election .Before the election the pound was exchanging for N330 this week it is exchanging for N280, that is not to say the foreign exchange market is going down. I would like to commend catered4 for such an educational thread 5 Likes 1 Share |
