How To Start A Profitable Poultry Farming Business In Nigeria

Poultry Farming in Nigeria is one of the most profitable businesses in the Nigerian agriculture sector, and is a lucrative, and a legitimate money making venture in Nigeria. For entrepreneurs in Nigeria, this type of livestock farming can be very profitable, and has the potential to generate high returns within a short time frame, due to the fact that chickens mature very quickly. In Nigeria, poultry farming in Nigeria is experiencing significant growth due to the fact that an increasing number of people are moving away from the consumption of smuggled birds, and red meat due to health worries. As a result, there is an increased demand for local chickens.  This is great news as it creates business opportunities in Nigeria.

In the chicken industry there are two main sectors: Layers, which are chickens bred and raised to produce eggs, or broilers, chickens raised and bred to be slaughtered.

What are the business success secrets of the successful entrepreneurs in Nigeria? What does it take to become a billionaire in Nigeria? If the answer to any of these questions interests you, then please read on.

Recently, i compiled a list of the world’s richest billionaire school drop outs and today, I will be compiling a list of Nigerian billionaires and top richest people in Nigeria, but please this list will be restricted to entrepreneurs only. Politicians and individuals whose source of wealth cannot be traced are excluded from this list. Most people have asked why so few Nigerians made the Forbes list of richest people in the world.

Well the answer to that question is this: Forbes estimates the wealth of individuals and rank them based on the value of shares they have in quoted companies (companies listed on the stock exchange) and most of the richest people in Nigeria prefer to run their businesses privately. That’s why they don’t make the Forbes list of richest people in the world.

Update: We want to state categorically that this list has nothing to do with the Forbes list. We are not affiliated with Forbes and did not source this content from Forbes. We did our own research before coming up with this list. Secondly, our list is strictly focused on entrepreneurs / business owners whose businesses can be ascertained; not politicians.

The 4 Things You Need to Have a $500,000 Career Without a College Degree

According to the latest statistics, It's never been harder to get ahead in America without a college degree. In 2015 graduates earned 56 percent more than those with only a high school diploma, the widest gap since economists started keeping track way back in 1973.

So are those trying to build a career without a degree doomed to barely scrape by? Not if Susie Moore's experience is anything to go by.

A UK native, Moore decided years ago to postpone college for a gap year, and through the twists and turns of life, ended up never actually returning to formal education. That didn't hold back her career though. A natural hustler, she first failed as an administrative assistant before finding her footing in recruiting and then moving on to a lucrative career in sales.

Many folks would be content with a $500,000 a year career selling adtech for startups, but Moore was just getting started. Now based in New York, she set up a side hustle as a career coach and has since moved into coaching full-time, helping others learn to make good money doing things they enjoy on their own terms.
