Welcome to Nigeria

Okay, I might have been too hard on the banks and other financial companies in the economy, but it is because these institutions at present represents or sheds light to what the future or re-branding of Nigeria should be, thus, it must be without fault, error free, highly professional in their services, transparent, conscious of its environment, and above all, one with great moral and ethical standard. As such, if this is what we hope for, then Nigeria still has a long way to go. First and foremost some of these organizations that are named and known as giant in their field have somethings in common - they were initiated or introduced into this country by one or two people that records have shown to be involved in one or two financial and fraudulent acts in this country. Think, list, and make mention of them and you will be amazed. As such, should the new Nigeria be branded by these hoodlums turned right because they choose to 'give something' back to the society - which in turn would again increase their net worth?

Nigeria indeed is a nation to recon with (at least in Africa), we have the market, the capital, and so many opportunities to invest. Maybe you might are like others that would want to follow the established market already in the country or do something completely different. Above all, whatever you are interested in doing, so long as your package and logistics are cemented you can become a successful entrepreneur in this country. Or you might be interested in importing illegal and contra-bounds into the country - if you are among these group you have the custom officers and other governmental agencies personnel to bribe before you bring such goods into the country. For example, imported shoes, clothing, and some other importable are considered contra-bound but there still come through the ports either in Nigeria or docked in Benin Republic and smuggled into this country under the eyes of the so called watchful immigration and custom officers (or should we call them bribed officers?) Well, contra-bounds is another discussion for another day.

Thus what has Nigeria got to offer and what sectors needs the graceful touch of intelligent, risk taking, and savvy Nigerian and Foreign business people to invest in- here are the list: TOURISM, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, AGRICULTURE, MANUFACTURE, POWER AND SOLID MINERALS, TRANSPORTATION etc.

So if you are interested in these areas or more, do feel free to shoot an e-mail for reports, analysis, and others. Look forward to my next article - Nigeria and its Contra-bound.
