This article is the second part of a three-part series. In the first part, we discussed the current state of intra-African trade, the AfCFTA and its importance, and highlighted businesses that have successfully leveraged regional integration in ASEAN.
Since the publication of the first part of this article, Nigeria has joined the CFTA. With Nigeria in the CFTA, Nigerian businesses have direct access to a market of over one billion people. Therefore, they must prepare to take advantage of the new markets that the AfCFTA grants access to. However, the Nigerian market is now directly open to intra-African competition from businesses in countries with comparative advantage.
In this part, we discuss the current state of trade in Nigeria, and highlight African countries with businesses with the capacity to compete with Nigerian businesses in the Processed Agriculture, Retail and Trade, and FMCG sectors.
Made in Nigeria whither the route for NigeriaBolaji Okusaga
Defining the route to Industrialization for Nigeria is at once complex yet fluid. It is complex because there are a lot of man-made bottle necks and fluid because the comparative advantages are visible. This paper uses Porters Diamond Model to distill the possibilities for Nigeria on the route to "Made in Nigeria".
Fast Moving Consumer Goods in Nigeria - How to enter the marketMarc Zander
The fast moving consumer market in Nigeria will be the largest market in total Africa. Key driver being the growing middle class, urbanisation and growing population will strongly driving the market.
I recently attended one of the premier global events in the eCommerce space, the Magento Imagine Conference. The conference hosted attendees from 40 countries, and with my initial impressions still fresh, I started researching eCommerce's global footprint more closely.
Why consumables is the fastest Money-making product anytime there is inflation or hard times?
Simple people must eat, wash and wear no matter what?
Consumables are non-replenish-able usable products that give room for repeated buys and they bring consistent income for producers and sellers of such item.
Such products include toiletries, Liquid wash, home use accessories etc.Some of these items are easy to produce and commercialized from home.
Liquid wash products, because of the fast rate at which clothes get dirty and you know people must stay clean. The other products are special skincare products
like Tablet soap that contains Vitamin E, coconut oil, glycerin, moisturizer, anti-aging and anti-dryness soap.
Tablet soap both for bathing and washing is easy to produce
Rising Africa- 12th Largest Petroleum Producer in the WorldMara Mentor
By 2050, Nigeria is expected to become one of the world's top 20 economies.
Nigeria is considered to be an Emerging market by the World Bank.
It is also a member of the MINT group of countries, which are widely seen as the globe's next "BRIC-like" economies.
It is also listed among the "Next Eleven" economies set to become among the biggest in the world.
With a population of over 200 million and servicing as a hub for the distribution of goods and services to another 200 million people in West and Central Africa, Nigeria has an enviable market which contesting brands will do well in marketing through meetings, incentives, and conferences, exhibitions. But then, Nigeria seems to be on the lower end of the statistics of countries which attracts mice. what then are the challenges and what are the opportunities?
This is the inspiring story of how Aliko Dangote, a man from the third world rose from a humble beginning to become not only the richest black man in the world but also the richest black person in the world.
This man controls over 60% of Nigeria’s sugar market and over 42% of the country’s cement market. I am talking of a country with over 150 million citizens. I bring to you, Aliko Dangote; the richest man in Africa.
The Nigerian mining sector is a formidable one with a very bright prospect,but needs government intervention in the area of infrastructure and effective mobilisation of its operators,so as to achieve maximum results.
One of the ways to achieve good results in this area,is through bringing identified illiterate miners close to the government,so as to utilise them and their expertise,to secure a lot of revenue. The activities of illegal miners in most part of the country is an eyesaw and needs soft handling,in order to bring them closer to the government.In doing this,government should provide a form of subtle training for indentified miners and make them see reason why mining is a huge business,if properly harnessed.
This measure,if properly addressed,will be a bedrock to end the illegal activities of artisans,seeking their daily bread and selling these mineral resources at very cheap prices. This will also create employment opportunities for them.We believe in the history and expertise of the new honourable minister of Solid Minerals, Dr.Kayode Fayemi, to create new reforms,such as the one mentioned here and many others,so as to make Nigerian mining industry lucrative and seemingly attractive to foreign investors.

Napoleon hill’s self analysis questionnaireDare Nana
I was listening to Napoleon’s Hill’s - The Law of Success in sixteen lessons (1928) audio book Vol 1 Disc 4 towards the end where he read out a long list of questions for self-analysis and I thought to myself, this is good, I should do the exercises i.e. do a self-analysis. But all the versions I saw through google search are either not complete of have been heavily embellished by the authors own suggestions, word substitutions (maybe they’re trying to make it modern – I love old school!).
So, I though why not put the original thing up without any adulterations, additions or subtractions.
So, here you have it.
I have placed the questions in one column and you can write out your own answers in the answer column.
How much time should you devoted to studying and answering these questions? This is what the author (Napoleon Hill) suggests “At least one full day is needed to truly answer this questions and contemplate your answers. If you devote that time you will know more about yourself than most people know of themselves”. – I concur.
Enjoy!
Success is a result as well as poverty is a result. The formula for success is this: A few simple discipline practiced every day, while failure is the opposite: A few errors in judgement repeated every day.
By knowing this, accepting it as the truth and then learning success principles, you will make your life the best life you can ever live.
Tuta Absoluta, commonly known as Tomato leafminer, Tomato Borer, Tomato Moth, is characterized by a high reproduction potential. Each female can lay between 250 to 300 eggs. They can attack at any crop stage and has been known to cause up to 100% crop destruction.
Tuta Absoluta was reported in Nigeria in 2015, presently thousands of farmers have suffered huge losses due to this pest.
The approach to properly manage T. absoluter has to be a long term, strategic and holistic. No one method, no matter how effective, is capable of controlling Tuta Absoluta as this pest quickly develops resistance. Winning the battle involves the adoption of a holistic and all-encompassing approach.
3. Global Perspective
The 4th Industrial Revolution ….
• World leaders called it “the Internet of Things”…
• Technically all businesses will be driven by the internet, going forward
• Davos Summit in Switzerland gave a glimpse into the future of
business: The digital revolution …
• driven by new technology that will positively impact everything that we do from now on
• virtually all business will be driven by the Internet, going forward.
• From pilotless aircraft and cars (drones in Rwanda)
• to automated healthcare diagnostics and medical prescriptions (and drug fulfilments),
• driven from the convergence of the Internet and one’s smart phone.

6. Macroeconomic Context
• The focus of the Nigerian Leadership is the relegation of the economy’s
dependence on foreign products while increasing local participation in
trade and manufacturing.
• Banning of 41 items from the forex market and
• subtle devaluation of the currency for consumption purposes; while retaining the
current official exchange rate for industrial purposes.
“We will no longer allow our markets to be flooded with things we can
produce ourselves. We must believe in our system.”

8. Key Sectors of the Economy
Characteristically,
the key sectors of
the economy are
informal and
subsistent
www.Jaraja.com.ng Made in Nigeria….For the world 8
Trade
• 15% of the GDP; a
significant share of
total trade is informal
and for subsistence; it
is also highly
fragmented; driven by
foreign products
Agriculture
• 22% of the GDP, hugely
informal and highly
fragmented; difficulty
in sourcing agro
products as Nigeria’s
agricultural sector is
highly fragmented and
dominated by small-
hold farmers.
• About 70 percent of
Nigerian farmers are
considered small scale
(<2 ha), 25 percent
midscale (2-10ha), and
5 percent large scale
(>10ha).
Solid minerals
• hugely informal,
production is
subsistent. 80% to 85%
of current mining
activities in Nigeria is
informal, via artisanal
and small scale mining.
• Official figures indicate
that quarry activities
dominate the sub-
sector, however official
figures are devoid of
the huge, informal and
small scale activities
that are carried out.
Nigeria has over 40
different kinds of latent
solid minerals and
precious metals.

We believe Nigeria’s
local production would
improve when there is
enough awareness
about the products
and they can easily be
located.
How well can we improve trade
– local and international, if
visual information and
awareness of the key products
Nigerians produce are not
readily available?
