all these we have in common except for the NSE which I am planing on doing a research on before I ventured next year. please can you shed light on your experience so I could learn from it if I eventually make up my mind. DON'T TRY nse,there is no provision for investor to regain their money back once d company u bought it's stock fold up.Nigerua Government is a Bleep,they don't protect their citizen in case if such stock failed unlike western worlds.d management of d failed company will go to court and got out in short time while ur money is gone. I invested over 500k since 2009,banks folds up one after d other,Skye bank is d latest.all my investment since 2009 gone and no compensation from DMO or government. 14 Likes 1 Share |

I know what a chip is, I actually sold one of the phones with one. But chip unlocked phones are sold cheaper and are in fact harder to sell than factory unlocked ones They aren't really cheaper to sell. it's the way you choose to market and package the products. I know people who are selling iPhone XS for ₦450k even with the chip and not factory unlocked. All you just need to do is give people assurance and package it better. You can even throw some half truths in and tell them sometimes the factory unlocked phones choose Sims to work on (which is true in itself) but with the chip, it's flexible. Baba, Na business you dey do oo. Package you business well. Don't just be dishonest in your dealings (I mean don't swerve or scam people and be open to giving warranties). 13 Likes 2 Shares |

Would really like to know more about this website and SEO thing bro... Hit me back hahn: What happened to me this year sef just get as e be.
So I was finally making N25k daily from my website and saved more than N1m and decided to hire a professional SEO company to handle my seo so that I can rank for more keywords and make more money. My target is to make 100k+ daily which is actually what my competition make.
The SEO company charged N150k per month and on the first month we found out that Google had penalized my site because of a Yoast plugin issue. With the Yoast plugin new update they was an option which was usually turned off by default but was on with the new update and thus pages were created automatically using images and no content. Coincidentally Google's new algo or whatever just came out and in it included a rule against pages with only images. And thus I was bleeped.
You can read more about the Yoast issue here https://charlesfloate.co.uk/yoast-mess-up. Many people were affected by this issue. If you go through the comments you will see one guy complaining about how he went from $1,000 per month to $100 because of his drop in traffic.
Also the seo company discovered that for some reason my backlinks created to my website were being removed so now I had to pay for on-site seo and also backlinks. To cut the long story short I spent all my savings trying to resolve this issue and I am still working on building more backlinks.
Daily income has gone down to N5k-N10k daily and yes I am royally bleeped because I have to fuel my gen and run it for 24 hours as we barely have power here. Nepa did not even blink the light throughout the weekend and as I write this the generator is on and making noise. Data, feeding, diapers, baby food etc sef dey there but we are managing.
I don't even know what to call this one. Whether bad investment or simply bad luck but thought to share.
By the way, based on the kind of person I am due to the low traffic I was getting and free time I got I used that spare time to build 3 new websites and now I am working on building them to profitability. Man never back down |

Well earlier this year lost mine to BUHARIA AND BAD CORRUPT GOVERNMENT, CORRUPT JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND A PROVE TO ME THEY DELIBERATELY DON'T WANT NIGERIA TO MOVE FORWARD
I INVESTED IN ELECTRICITY GENERATION....
BOUGHT ENOUGH GENERATOR AND SOLAR PANEL TO POWER @LEAST A COMMUNITY AND GIVE THEM 17HRS ELECTRICITY A DAY.... I went to NERC(NATIONAL ELECTRICITY REGULATORY COMMISSION) got a permit and started generating just after a month EEDC lost that community to my own electricity... The next thing same NERC that gave me permit now came am ask me to get a LICENSE INSTEAD but their rule said u can only be given a license if you're generating enough power to serve a STATE but anything below that is ordinary PERMIT from them....I went to court nothing came out of it....and the LICENSE IS ABOUT #200,000 000
MY INVESTMENT WAS ABOUT #17MILLION
FROM THAT DAY I KNEW FOR SURE NIGERIA WAS NEVER DESIGNED TO PROGRESS.... ITS NOT ABOUT CANDIDATES OR PARTY its about the FOUNDATION ON WHICH NIGERIA WAS FORGED. I sold all my machinary, wires, poles and solar panels... And went back to CIVILIZATION and I will never step foot in Nigeria again till we get BIAFRA
WHEN KANU SHOUTS NO VOTING IT SEEMS ITS ALL ABOUT BIAFRA HE'S ACTUALLY TRYING TO GIVE YOU PEOPLE YOUR POWER BACK.... BECAUSE ALL THE POLITICIANS ARE THE SAME....ALL THEY CARE IS GET YOUR PVC...

twlover: Poultry Farming.
I invested approximately N12m in building a poultry for layers. Mistake I made was I buying 1 Acre of land which cost me N4M to fence, built Pen house with N3.5M,built a 5 bedroom farm house with about N3m, constructed a concrete scaffolding (with 2 standard rooms, one as store the other as Gen. House) to mount the water tanks for N1.5m
Having done all these, I struggled to get 600 layers, the rest is history.
I have put that property up for sale

Sorry G! Would like to talk about the phone business as its something I'm interested in.... Shoot back karferguso: I had a mild loss this year I imported some iPhones earlier this year to reselll but mumu me did not do due diligence on their unlock status. I ended up buying 3 locked phones spent like 60k+ to unlock 2 of them. I sold the last one like that. All in all, I made loss of around 20k and that’s because I bought very cheap if not, I for hear am. But I understand that was a learning curve.

wawuu. I'm a newbie in cryptocurrency and I learnt that you can never lose your money and that if you do you'd still gain the amount back if not double. Is that true? And have you earned your money back? Currently, speculating on cryptocurrency is a gamble. The most famous of them (bitcoin) went from about $1000 in early 2017, to $18,000! by December 2018. Then it crashed to about $6500 by May 2018, and as of mid-November, just fell steeply again to $4500. Of course, people only see the incredible rise in 2017, but forget that it's very volatile. Some people were very very lucky, but as with these things, you have to get in the game very early. You can lose money - and many many people lost money. You have no control over what it will be within one month. I do not advice it, and anybody promising anything (including getting your capital back) is shitting you. 22 Likes 2 Shares |
