Beware of Grants

In as much as I advise SMEs and prospective entrepreneurs to look for grants to aid their business/productions, there is also a need to caution them from applying for every grants.
Before applying for any grants, verify the organization issuing the grants. Many web designers today host many such websites to steal people's business ideas.
I know many of us are currently subscribed to some websites alerting us about new grants. For the safety of your idea, don't just go through the link on that website, verify the information on Google or better still on the organization's website itself. Many of them end up selling off your idea for personal gains.
One has to be security conscious in a country where patency and royalty are still something strange.

it is not too late to start

A Nigerian musical icon, Late Fatai Rollingdollar sang his first and hit album at over 75 years, in fact some of his teeth were obviously missing. had he sang the song at a lower year, nobody will be willing to buy it. At that age, he succeeded in creating a niche for himself against the tensed competition of younger generations.

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.
