The Land is Green!

The Land is very green in Naija o! Talk about abundant business opportunities. If you can think of the business opportunity, you can most likely do it successfully with the right plan and capital. Forget all those yankee runs for now o! This is the land of opportunity! Everyday when you look around, you see so many ways to improve or introduce products and services here. It's quite amazing and because this IS a developing country, now is a good time to be part of that development. There is an emerging middle-class. People want more, and can afford more things. Essentially, there is more money in more people's hands to be spent so if you're thinking about doing business in Naija right now, you are right on!!

Price Tags and Pricing

Ok, so, I love the fact that when I go to a store and I see a price tag of N500, that's exactly what I pay! Lol. Not like in Chicago where you think it's 9.99 (I love how they use the .99 to lure you. Lol. Although a grocery store here does that too!) and then you get to the counter and the price goes up cos of tax. Some stores say that VAT is included. I just like that feeling jare so I know exactly how much I'm paying.

Man, when I first starting taking cabs here it was quite hilarious in hindsight. I could not price o! (i.e. I couldn't negotiate/haggle the price well). They would say N2,000 and I'd be like N1,800. Lol. Well, I guess it was partly cos I didn't know what a good price was to pay for the distance. I tell you though, in these parts, you learn fast o! Now, They say N2,000, and I'd say like N1,000 or even N800!! LOL! JJC no more!
