Mimisboygreat:Well said. But do you can actually live abroad, come home at a certain time to acquire landed properties and houses, get the right documents and keep it yourself. Open a direct account that only you can get any alert, and you're good to go. I know plenty people who live abroad and do that and they have never raised any alarm. |

You have given some folks insights into niches they can venture. But with the disheartening state of our economy one can't successfully start an online business. Hopefully waiting for naira to gain value so I could start a my idea. |

This post is insightful, informative and educative. Like the writer said, from abroad. These ideas could work in the country too, only that they can be dented by the "Nigerian Factor". If anyone is to pick an idea from this, I advise it should be based on personal interest (maybe passion) and capital. More importantly, do a proper feasibility study and get advice from people around you 1 Like |
