We can say that the world is a business place it doesn't matter the location people around the glope engage in business strategies ranging from manufacturing, buying, wholesales,retailing and consumption. With the aim of meeting people's daily wants, and to also gain profit.
That's why goods are shipped to any part of the world 🌎 a Nigerian in Europe can inevitably enjoy and have a Nigerian made good and services through importation and exportation of goods.
While people engage in different businesses we find out that there are small scale businesses and large scale businesses depending on the capital that is invested in the business by an entrepreneur or a firm.
Coming to the Nigerian community I have seen a lot of businesses which young and old people are involve in but what I observe here is that the people living in the rural and some urban areas of the country runs the same kind of business which are always very small in scale.
Now is this the easiest business an average person should do? It is popularly known as provision shop/store.
I have been wondering why this particular business is very popular in Nigeria and in some African countries where the sell some little things likes biscuits, noodles, carbonated drinks and all kinds of snacks joined with rice,beans, garri and the rest
If anyone can agree with me that 60% of the goods that are imported and produced in Nigeria is food stuff yet the prices of food and edibles are on the high side which makes feeding a difficult thing for an average person living in the country,so as to survive the people venture into this particular business which keeps me thinking how lucrative it is.
Therefore I personally thought about asking people who do this business so I find out my self but I was surprised when I asked a woman selling in a shop about her business and the reason why she chooses this particular business was,
According to her she told me that this business keeps food on the table for her self and the children anytime she doesn't have enough money to get things in the market she can just make food from what she is selling,secondly it is easy to manage,she was telling me that anyone can manage this business you don't need to have a degree to start and manage this business. She also said that the business gives her time for other things maybe when an unexpected program comes up she can just leave the shop for her child to look after.
I totally agreed with her on the last one most of the time you go out to get something from a shop there are chances you will always see children in the store selling for their parents or guardians.
What do you suggest about this particular business,do you own this business? is it rampant in your environment? What are the motives behind establishing the business,
