Opportunities in the Ketu Lakes Market
The first thing we will talk about in this article is the production and marketing of plantain chips. Plantain chips are made from fried plantain and packed in nylon bags and sold to willing buyers. For the school graduate, this does not imply much capital, what it requires is their commitment and ingenuity.
This is a form of snack eaten by commuters at all motor parks in Nigeria, it is also eaten by students. For any sincere graduate of the school, the best market is the students in session; They do not buy on credit, nor do they owe you. I suggest this can be sold along with any fruit that is in season. If you live in Lagos, fruits are available at the Ketu market, very close to the old toll gate at the Lagos/Ibadan entrance to Lagos, and not far inland. It’s on that curve near the toll gate.
While I’m talking about the Ketu market, let me share a few discoveries I made during the week about that market. Some clever young men and women have trained themselves in the art of selling whatever is brought into Lagos. As soon as the truck arrives, they take it from the owner, who tells them how much he wants for the truck or trailer load. These young men and women sell everything every day, pay the owner and share in the profits which are always good and I mean good. They will accept you, they will train you and you will not need a kobo as capital. These are ingenious and legit ways your stock workers are getting started with now.
What is surprising is that several of them are graduates who have a solid and continuous investment in the capital market. They are building their future and don’t be surprised if in the future they own the biggest hotels in Nigeria.
