Tnks for the reassurance. I haven't had any negative experience sha. My mind is just playing trick in me. My kids are looking forward to it

You re highly welcome mrs. I stay in Benin, and i can tell you that you hardly hear any of those cases of robbery, assination, killings, kidnappings, etc in the city axis (Gra, airport road, sapele rd, akpakpava road, forestry rd, mission rd, ekenwan rd, etc).

Hope you re coming to benin with enough funds to setup a business? Because my people needs it badly. And hope you hv also been told there wont be okada for you to ride anymore in benin, Because it has since been banned and to some extent thats what actually reduced the crimes in the city by a large percentage.

erico2k2:

We forgot the servers here lol

Why do you need servers to run apps and online services? Aren't there reliable ISPs in naij, regardless of the speed?

And for domains - you don't need to register to naij based domain servers (that is if there is any).

KINGinVAHALA:

I think you re wrong bro. NYSC monthly pay is 19000, what stops you from puting aside 9000 monthly for the 12months duration and use it to start a little business when you re through with your service?

Good Idea Bro . . But Note This : Its Not All Place Of Service That Gives 19k, Evn If Its The Officiall Amount

Well, Agribusiness, Retail and transport/logistics hold the key for now. All these Solar, Pay solutions and other high tech businesses are niche businesses. Those are for the future. If you want to make it NOW go into the aforementioned 3 sectors.

Dangote became a multi billionaire by selling things we can hardly do without: Cement, Sugar, salt, Flour etc. To make in Nigeria, you will need to sell something the average Nigerian needs and can afford directly or indirectly. Dangote with his new refined petroleum biz will be rubbing shoulders with Bill Gates in due course. Nigerians need cheap fuel.

I personally feel that the time is now for all 11 sectors mentioned in the article. In terms of Tech companies, Konga and the likes are having their time in the sun. Hotels.ng is growing by leaps and bounds. I can see that they have a great business model and have been inspired by the Silicon(e?) Valley greats. Even looking much closer to home to blogs such as Linda Ikeji's and nairaland. Tech businesses in Naij have come so far and there's still so much more room for growth. I'm telling you, I Naija-focused dating app like Tinder will make a killing. Anyone interested in such a business, I dash you this idea (just don't forget to appreciate).

Just like me. my passion for my state in particular and Nigeria in general is unlimited and unconditional.

Hehehehehe. Thats truth. No more white demons to blame, but there is still black demons whom had refused to die.

Valar Morghulis - All men must die. Those demons will eventually succumb to their mortality. They will die even sooner when we the upcoming generation overpower them by sheer force of will, character and numbers. A change in the collective mindset starts from ourselves.

Ohhh. Staying in a hotel all through? Well, its your choice. For Siluko, the road is motorable. Govt are even presently working on the upper part of siluko.

Yeah, i wont lie to you on this. the electricity issue is just damn frustrating. Sometimes you would have light for a large part of a day, other times you wont get even a blink of bulb. You re Bini?

if you run any type of biz that needs records and storage of any kind of data that you will need access to asap then you will have server however small it may be

If not for the present dark of the night and the distance of thy stay, nothing would have stopped me from not buying you a drink this moment. You deserve it babe.

Still in my 20s, but I do like a crisp Chenin Blanc or a mulled Merlot

And what do you think of a device that scares off mosquitoes

Our engineering departments in the University is messed up

I think that if you are in the engineering department, nothing stops you from gathering your colleagues to build the first prototype using what you have. Once that hurdle has been jumped, showcase your contraption at all these pan-African events, contact the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for guidance/funding, get in touch with a local rep for the World Health Organisation etc. You can even try the Ministry of Health. But first take that step yourself. You won't make it on the Forbes list waiting for someone else to do am. Abi? Now, go forth and prosper

Hehehehe. Good to know. Anyway, mulled merlot suits my personality better. Nothing feels like been class with a cup of wine.

wisemany2k:
God, please grant me wisdom to make wealth from nothing this year and beyond in Jesus name, amen!!!

I think you should modify your prayer into asking God for the inspiration to see the opportunity around you, the fortitude to come up with a plan and see it through inception, and the foresight to enable your new business to grow sustain-ably and exponentially. Sometimes what blocks our success is that we ask for/expect the wrong things. Stop asking for something for nothing - ask for God to open your eyes to your passion, what you can earn a great living from.

Either will do, depending on the weather

What business are you building yourself?

Very interesting read. The points on Agric business, solar and retail are so true beyond any shadow of doubt.

Well... so far as we're discussing like like-minds, call me by my name, Bre (that "babe" lowers the tone of the conversation)

I am actually serious about the app idea. Tinder is so widely used, mostly because of its convenience. I have friends in many countries who use it. One friend uses it whenever we go on holiday to find people to hang out with... I personally don't use it because I love my privacy but all my friends do. Even my sister and cousins. If Nigeria were to have a personalised app created for our market in particular, I would be so excited about it that I may even use it my self.

As the article says, Africa has the largest population size of below-31 year olds. It seems like a no-brainer.

Hmm, interesting. I will definitely keep that in mind. In this day and age, there is always a time when one needs someone with such skills.

Are you a Nigerian living in Nigeria? Are you legit in your dealings?

Lool. It seems you don't understand the concept of online in the context of IT/business. What do you need physical servers for when everything can be done remotely regardless of the size of the business? Apart from a company setting with intranet - you don't need physical servers.

Nairaland is a classic example. The owner doesn't need physical servers cos everything is done remotely and he pays for the domain servers provided by a domain company. All he needs to do is: backup records/files/data regularly on his PC/laptop/portable-disk.
