WHAT IS THE MISSING LINK ABOUT BEING A NIGERIAN?

KNOW YOUR ENEMY IN BUSINESS THEN ‘KILL’ THE ENEMY.

Everybody who has planted his feet on Nigerian soil knows that doing anything in Nigeria is stressful. Even the simplest of tasks in Nigeria has to be made complicated so that it is stressful. Like I would usually say, “if it is not stressful, it is not Nigerian.”

NEITHER A JOB OR A BUSINESS IS A SAVIOUR!!!

YOU ARE LOSING CUSTOMERS EVERY DAY BECAUSE OF THIS

Some of us work hard to set up businesses only to see them fail under our watches. When a business idea is conceived, I think the owner expects it to last for as long as it is yielding enough revenue. Revenue in itself is not a wish, it is the outcome of the structure put in place. This structure attracts or repels patronage. Many owners of businesses pay so much attention on aesthetics that they forget to get the right human resources for the provision of quality service.
