If you ask most Nigerian entrepreneurs what their biggest challenge is, the answer usually comes fast: “Funding.” From small businesses to tech startups, everyone seems to be chasing capital — grants, investors, loans — anything to keep the lights on and the dream alive. And yes, it’s true: raising investment in Nigeria is not easy. […]

One of the biggest mistakes Nigerian entrepreneurs make is thinking too small. Too local. Too limited. The world has already gone global, but many of us are still acting like our market ends in Lagos or Abuja. Here at Kudi Konsult, some of our key clients are foreigners. They don’t even live in Nigeria. They […]

We live in a generation where almost everyone wants to be successful. We admire the lifestyle, the cars, the holidays, the freedom. We repost motivational quotes, share powerful prayers, and dream about “blowing.” But here’s the tough question: are we truly ready to put in the work that success demands? Prayer without discipline is just […]

Imagine waking up to discover that the very tools you rely on to run your business — WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook — have been restricted overnight. Your customers can’t reach you. Your adverts vanish. Your sales channels go silent. This is not fiction. It is what happened recently in Nepal, where protests erupted after sudden government […]

Not long ago, one of our consulting clients came to us frustrated. From the outside, his business looked like it was thriving — plenty of contracts, steady clients, and a growing reputation. But behind the scenes, he was burning out. His problem wasn’t finding customers. It was managing them. Every day was the same cycle: […]

Have you ever received that dreaded letter from the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS)? The one that begins: “We have scheduled a tax audit of your company on…” If you have, then you know the feeling. Your heart skips. Your palms sweat. For a moment, all the deals you’ve closed and the profits you’ve made […]

If you run a small or medium business in Nigeria, you probably know this story too well. You land that “big” contract with a major corporation — the kind of deal you’ve been praying for. You deliver on time, even stretching your resources to meet their standards. Then comes the wait. 30 days. 60 days. […]

Everywhere you look today, one word keeps coming up: Artificial Intelligence (AI). And with it comes a question that’s making many people uneasy: “Will AI take my job?” And let’s be honest: the fear isn’t far-fetched. Across the world, companies are already automating roles that people used to do—customer service, writing, accounting support, even medical […]

When people think about debt in business, they imagine big contracts gone bad or huge unpaid invoices. But the truth? For many Nigerian entrepreneurs, the real threat to their cashflow is the “small small” money owed—₦5k here, ₦10k there, a balance of ₦20k “we’ll settle next week.” It doesn’t feel urgent. After all, you don’t […]

If you’ve ever had a customer say, “I’ll get back to you,” and then disappear, you’re not alone. It happens every day. Many Nigerian entrepreneurs think lost sales are because of high prices, tough competition, or slow seasons. But often, the real culprit is simpler: poor follow-up. We assume that if a customer is interested, […]
