Maduawuchukwu:then that is too bad for Africa and that is too bad for the black race don't misquote him i am not saying he should be like MUSK , i am just saying he should stop because he is able to feed ... i don't want to be like ELON MUSK |

Maduawuchukwu:lols, it's not alway about income. It's about cash flow. What's going out and what's coming in. If what's going out is more than what's coming in, that's a loss. The business fails. Where is the customer? Bro, I will be sincere with you, the hardest thing to find in Nigeria is not capital, it is customers. There were more than one thousand igbo that started that business ooo, out of 100 startup businesses, 99 is likely to fail. My point is, the OP should have a solid Growth plan. If he is just waiting for daily customers, it might not be sustainable. 1 Like |

Ymodulus:u don't know wat u r talking abt. As a business educator, i can tell u that this young man is on the right path. Everyone must nt be an inventor to qualify as entrepreneur! I know a lot of wholesalers and retailers that are very successful, apple, Gucci, Zara and other world brands do not have to open shops in all nooks and cranies, they leave that space for investors like this young man, who inturn brings some kind of value addition to the products like after sales services. Bcareful how u kill a dream in ur attempt to appear as intelligent, cos u know nothing about the world of economic activities. 21 Likes 2 Shares |

Ymodulus:See dude irrespective of your knowledge about business strategies, your type are Definitely good on papers than practicals, I can authoritatively tell you that your type and the likes of business mentors do not make it in business because y'all try to copy the whiteman module and model which obviously do not work for African, here in Nigeria.... Business and entrepreneur means profitable ventures for us as far as you can pay bills from it, then later you expand if need be, OGA, My Chairman was an apprentice, later started selling wine in a small shop, later he went into partnership with wine makers and started importing wines into the country, later see need to go into food importation and ventured into it, now he is Building factories were most of the things he import are manufactured hereby identifying a need which is creating employment. I can tell you atleast 5 of his products which you use daily which are Eva soap, if you are a wine lover.... I can tell that you consume his wines, do you actually use olive oil for your cooking... Obviously its either you are using Goya or Laser oil. Uncle in business, we Africans don't start big, you start small and grow Bigger. Tuface didn't wake up and started Rumours night club, he first started as an upcoming artiste, gather much, set up the first one at Ikeja which was even below clubing standard..... Now go to Rumours V.i and see for yourself. I rather start small with my finances and part of what my family where able to provide than to start that big with bank loann only for me to end the first 5/10years on paying back. Mind you that thats his hard earned money not Looted Deziani money. I guess you really need to have a rethink about your business ideology because both Facebook and Apple started from Garage, the need they even identified are the same need other companies are also providing as service as well. OP God bless the work of your hands and if it is your passion, you will start designing sneakers and produce abroad like China, until the real administration comes to motivate startups and enterprenurs then you can start making it in Nigeria. For now, do aggressive online marketing for your brand, thats a lovely business name you got 24 Likes 2 Shares |

Maduawuchukwu:lol that is because you are seeing what you are looking for ...if i am looking for Gold every other metals won't matter again if i am to do a market research, i would look at people that have succeed doing the same type of business and also look for people that have failed if the amount of people that failed is way higher than people that succeed then it's because they are the first to get there or luck.. like i said earlier success news spread faster than failure |

majekdom2:Yeah he must innovate. Most of the Igbo guys who enter business succeed. I have done my calculations and have observed for several years. At least they pay their children's school fees and feed well. That to me is enough success in an economy where the majority are poor. Nigeria can only accommodate a handful of Elon muskeque business men. 2 Likes |

He has explained, he is a business guru, you are a guru in your right, branding the young man's dream a failure from the start is not way of encouraging the business or any other person reading for that matter. Moreover the issues he raised were already answered by the man who posted his start up. Take one of his businesses for example: Selling Yams. Everyone sells yams everywhere, he only bought from a distant place at a cheaper rate and sold for a margin! It is a crude trade, dirty, yet it fetched him money and thats exactly what this young chap is doing. I wont take back the insult, am sorry. dking123: 4 Likes |

Mr. Phoool, (The bible says this of atheist, sorry), As legendary as they make you believe, you are too dull for an intellectual conversation since you have whipped up a nonsensical 5% jargon that some media never-do-wells have thumped into your head. Well, I understood the President's analogy, what you have not clarified on the subject under debate is why the lad's business is not a good enough start up. For a recent graduate who has all his youthfulness ahead of him to start, succeed/fail but ultimately to learn and re-invest, he has started well. Mind you, you do not hold the prism to gauge everyone's success just because you do some successful businesses. Now this is my opinion. Bloody '95%ish' bully. Ymodulus: 5 Likes 1 Share |
