HOW TO MANUFACTURE IN NIGERIA W/

[@IveomaMedia]

I loved chatting with Demi Samande, a returnee that moved back from the UK to Lagos to expand Majeurs Chesterfield, her furniture company. Links below. Her YT channel: kzbin.info/door/cEk2qlUTEZzQ1xjKzBSZtQ Link to Furniture: majeurschesterfield.com/

This is the kind of mindset you need to succeed in Africa n not the whining whiny people.

[@deoasubo2765]

Hearing Demi say she never goes without paying her staff, is so good to hear. Many employees take advantage of their staff even when times are good. Your blessings come from just being fair with others!

[@IveomaMedia]

So true @ blessings! I was very happy to hear that too!! The things I have seen here since I moved back, people aren’t paying staff for months at a time.

[@ADE-of-LAGOS]

I think the mentality is a bit different if the employer is a native coming from the west because you place more value in your employees and the fact that they deserve appropriate pay for their services. But sometimes some employees could also be a problem. I once hired an assistant who I was paying N90k/month with another corper earning N45k/month. Once I traveled to the US to see my family for few weeks, and by the time I returned this individual has hijacked the company clients, stole the proprietary data, and then put in a resignation letter.

[@energetica346]

This is an amazingly highly intelligent educated woman whom I hope quickly becomes the Nigerian minister for Business Development and Industrial Strategy. She absolutely has the vision and total clarity around the challenges to be resolved and approach to real regional and national implementation. These are the types of individuals who should be running the Machinery of Nigerian Government and at the very least advise the "Sleeping Beauties" currently at the steering wheel. If someone could let me know where I can buy that beautiful green/ white outfit too 🙂

[@SHUPization]

Amazing Nigerian Lady. A lot of people think am also crazy for wanting to go back to Nigeria. Indeed the Nigerian markets need fabricators and engineers in all sectors. Nigeria will be great

[@genuinediasporan6661]

Itsovieoma thank you for showcasing someone like her. It’s very important for those of us in the diaspora,especially entrepreneur like her. She very inspiring and highly focus. Those Chesterfield chairs are very expensive in England. Her design is top notched. It’s people like her we need in Africa. She has really inspired and now determined to bring my knowledge to motherland. By the way, her beauty is imbedded with intelligence. Please show case people like her more. ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏼

[@Chiefvera]

*that Enugu based KZbinr* says I enjoyed this interview/chit chat. It inspired me in some certain kind of way, really! I love that people are also looking into different industries, that aren't really mainstream. I like it!! Thanks for bringing this on board!

[@wordsbymaribeja1470]

I think also understanding the differences between the 'limitations of the market' and the differences between the market you're use to and the market you're trying to enter, and recalibrating what your norms are in some instances because, for example, different wood isn't a limitation. I'd say in the UK you have alot of engineered and pretend wood, in Nigeria you'll have real wood you just need to learn what type it is and whether it is suitable for your needs. Great interview, I loved Demi.

[@wordsbymaribeja1470]

This video warmed my heart and has me so excited, Demi is wonderful. So are you Iveoma.

[@mbaokpa-iroha1564]

Well done @ iveoma for showcasing the endless opportunities that abound in Nigeria that awaits Nigerians both in diaspora and at home to plunder.For some reasons Nigerians in diaspora have been very tentative to take full grasp of these opportunities, while those in Nigeria want to run abroad at the slightest chance. The discerning foreigners who know what's in Nigeria are streaming in to take up these opportunities (Chinese, Indians, Lebanese, etc..)without making too much noise.You see them anytime you are on the plane coming back home.With the number of views you have garnered For this video over just a few days shows diasporans are really interested and keen about coming back to take up these opportunities. I suggest you fo more videos showcasing diaspora Nigerians bucking the negative narrative surrounding Nigeria and building successful businesses. Keep it up,we want more of this inspiring videos.

Nah @ more women are returning home. I think we are moving back in equal amounts but women are more likely to do videos/podcasts, etc about it. It's way harder to get men on camera than women.

[@KingNomad]

Wow! I was literally thinking about this. I saw a video on youtube showcasing a luxury office tower in Lagos, and when they showed the inside I questioned where they got their luxury furniture from. I imagine there is, or will be a huge market for luxury office furniture when there is a boom in infrastructure. Also, I've always wondered if there's an opportunity to make hardwood furniture in Nigeria (or any other suitable African country) and sell in Europe and America. Luxury hardwool tables sell for $100s if not $1000s.

[@IveomaMedia]

Wow this video was for you LOL Yeah I think hardwood would sell for thousands! Very interesting comments.

[@ADE-of-LAGOS]

@Christian ... I believe there are opportunities for this. The Chinese are in smaller African countries like Sierra Leone shipping out woods from felled trees. Ask what they are using the wood for. Unlike them, you as a local will be more careful what tree goes down. They've turned forests into bare land. So, it's important for natives to go into this business so that some of the revenues go back into tree planting or conservation.

[@joykish7342]

I loved this video. I believe returnees can start news things! I also believe that returnees who are scared to come back should have a system to invest and have shares in Nigerian natives who have already started businesses and need capital. Providing capital for someone to start a business is just as helpful as returning as well. Returnees just need a reliable, safe, and secure system for this. I would feel equally fulfilled helping natives with capital if I knew they were being completely honest... but that’s hard to find in my opinion.
