Yes, I am a business-inclined. I love doing business as a student I am into the clothing and oil business if I should venture fully into the business it is the clothing and the oil business that I would do so because these businesses are fast because everyone needs clothes to cover his or her body and oil to cook food.

Since I started this business in a very small way I have been in profits and my customers have been constantly calling me for supply. What I normally do is travel to Onitsha and buy clothes in bulk and sell them in my school or home during holidays then take the remaining to school. As for the oil, I do buy from my town where it is cheaper, and send it to Abuja and another northern part of Nigeria where my customers are.


Do you think only money can make a successful business, or are there other necessary things that make a business successful?

No, I do think only money can make a successful business as other necessary things make a business successful. Having a good staff that is trusted, staff and business owners that understand the needs of customers and how they can solve customers' problems can make a business successful.

Also, the quality of goods and kind of services that are rendered to customers can make a business successful. A business whose products or services can't satisfy customers' wants can't be successful because people would be running away, and a business that is operated anyhow or has been neglected cannot be successful. You may have the money to establish a business, but you may not know how to manage the business properly which can make it not to become a successful business.


Give us a rough estimate of your dream business, you can convert into steem.

Now that things are very expensive so in Nigeria, starting a business would not be that easy as a lot of money would be needed to get my dream business functioning which what I am estimating roughly is **₦25,000,000 which is equivalent to 85,447.07 STEEM as of the time of writing this post.


Would you prefer to run your dream business online or offline?

I would prefer to run my dream business offline. However, after gaining customers' trust, I would then begin to run my business online but the truth is I would do both to make people from other states and parts of the world know more about my business. But I would start by running a business offline where I would get a store and office so people can easily locate me.


What makes you believe in your dream business? (What is your inspiration)

What makes me believe in my dream business is that I have been into the business, and I have gained experience in the business I love the business with passion because my goal is to build a textile industry at the end after I have accumulated enough money from my dream business.

I am inviting: @esthyfashion, @dave-hanny, and @joan-na
