    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.

      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.

    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. ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏼

    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 🙂

  • @wordsbymaribeja1470
    @wordsbymaribeja1470 Před 2 lety +1

    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.

    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.
