And after processing to juice, where will it be sold. At what cost. How many stores/supermarket have 18 hour electricity needed to keep the drinks cold or else it goes off. I used to have a juice factory. Bros we are too poor for many of these solutions.

What Makurdi needs is not buyers to consume these raw, rather Mango Juice Factories to be established, to process, package for local distributors & export of the end products. That's what @PeterObi meant with Consumption to Production, yet so many people didn't catch the vision.

When my problems in life started. I should have been working in a law firm somewhere or even government job, instead of wasting my life away doing this. Youthful exuberance. Wasted almost 100m naira here. Most importantly almost wasted my life.

So Anubi Ayodeji finally succeded in exporting a trial batch of frozen food to the UK. Lagos - Paris - London. 5 failed attempts trying to figure out the right process. Each attempt cost 1000 pounds. Sold my van last month at a give away price to fund the 6th attempt. That's done

The poverty in Naij is heart breaking.The struggles of the common man who despite best effort, theres no realistic pathway towards social Mobility. I am increasing salaries again for my workers.Folks say i over pay staffs, maybe. In an organization, not only the Oga should thrive

When my oga @DoubleEph was a Twitter celeb that year. His morning paper review, mentioned how Aba shoemakers where complaining about the cost of their raw materials. One thing led to another, my adhesive factory should start production by Oct. Insha Allah.

Curious to hear from entrepreneurs/founders/small business owners, quote this tweet with what sparked an idea that you decided turn into a business/plan to turn into a business.

Put everything back into the business. Need to upgrade my factory. Get a quality assurance manager and a production manager, de-risk the whole process, so that it becomes a plug and play gig. At the moment, it's still very high risk. Each shipment, I am always very tensed.

Funny story, the African free continental trade act is a joke. With most things, there's a disconnect from policy guys and those who implement policy. Cause of Afcta decided to develop some products in Togo, then truck it to naij, afterall Afcta means free trade, zero borders.

My job has taking me to most parts of Lagos. Especially the fishing communities. The level of poverty, deprivation and lack I see. The daily extortion of the danfo drivers and okada men. The lack of opportunities. This is the Lagos Tinubu built. No social mobility.

I don't think 10m a year salary is a lot of money. Not in this Lagos. One will struggle. Rent is already 3-4m. Wetin remain. Assuming school fees, feeding, vacation, cars. Its a life of struggle.

The unique selling point- The product is freshly squeezed, cheaper than the market leader, the bottle size is 1.5 litres, so bigger as well

Of to work. One of the projects I set out to achieve this year was to build an industrial goods company. We process raw materials into value add for use by local industries. Been able to successfully process latex rubber into adhesives. Next is to find out what the market thinks.

Omo i have come a long way. God has been kind. In a significantly better place. I made the right call. If something aint working, drop it. At this time i was selling all my assets to fund my current venture. Sold everything. Afterwards was broke, bankrupt, in debt, depressed.

My father is yoruba. My mother is igbo. Born in warri, schooled in benin, grew up in Lagos. Holidays spent with grandparents in ibadan and enugu. Was a great life. Was a very balanced life. Tribalism is just bottom barrel behaviour..... on all sides.

People who ought to know better falling for this tribalism. Do some people even hear themselves think. One of my best friends from kano said " The North cannot vote for Peter obi", I asked why. Nothing pained me more. I used to think we all wanted the same things.

Spent the day in the field. Giving furniture makers our locally made adhesives made from natural rubber. Feedback been great.Only thing left is pricing. Will be setting up a 500 litre a day adhesive plant by Sept. It is my fundamental belief that we need to make things in naij.

Been able to process latex rubber into adhesives. Spent the day with furniture makers (who are the target market), asked them for feedback on my adhesives, if its as good as the imported adhesives. Response was overwhelmingly very positive. Addressable market is exciting.

Impressed with everything I have created. From exports to food and beverage to industrial goods to port logistics and operations. Next year sees me focus on building markets in UK, the rest of Europe and taking market share in the port logistics gig.

Not had the best of 2 years. Plans have not really gone as I anticipated, which is absolutely fine. Tomorrow looks very promising. Setting up a port logistics business, the prospects looks very good.
