Don’t be greedy!



This is one major rule in business. Your focus should not just be profit but the satisfaction of your customers. When you realise your customers are the sustainers of your business, it helps you to shift attention from profit to them.
If consumers continue to get the worth of their money, they will keep coming. You may not last in business if you are profit oriented because you may be tempted to cut corners. Also, there are many people out there who will want to dupe you because you are a business person, the earlier you combat greed; the more logical you will be at those moments. Don’t dive into any business you don’t have full understanding of and another rule in business is to trust no man. We all have our portion of greed, however, in business greed should not even be heard of. Be sincere to yourself, to your workers, consumer as well as all stakeholders. Don’t look for quick wealth, for in this quest have some men become bankrupt. Don’t do business for quick profit instead for meeting of need. Another aspect of this greed is where you need to save yourself from fraudsters who bring up opportunities that never exist. When you get your greed under check, you will be reasonable which is one thing greed takes from us. You will be able to analyse and scrutinize every business opportunity that comes your way and allow you invest properly. The earlier you put your greed under check, the longer you sustain your finances.

Nigeria not ripe for agricultural export!

Over the years, the jingles about returning to agriculture has increased. Even a child would tell you that the solution to the Nigerian problem is returning to agriculture. The problem I have with those advocating for a return to farming has always been emphasis on exporting agricultural produce for foreign exchange. The truth is that we are not yet self sufficient and therefore should not be talking of export. One of the reasons why the prices of agricultural produce are costly and scarce today is because a large chunk that should have remained in circulation has been moved to the port for export. The local industries cannot even depend on our agricultural sector because of inconsistency in supply. If we therefore desire our industries to grow, it's time we stop export and focus first on local production and satisfaction. The excess can serve as export.
