IF YOUR PASSION DOESN'T PAY YOUR BILLS , PAUSE IT AND DO SOMETHING PROFITABLE , PASSION CAN WAIT FIRST 👇👇👇

Year 2017 was a year i will never forget in a hurry! The year I made the decision to sell all my sewing machines and I truly sold them off

I got married the same year and hubby and I relocated from Kwara state to Delta state because my husband got a job in Delta state

I got a job there as a laundry attendant as well and I was earning decently as at then because I added some side hustles

I almost forgot my passion along the line 😁😁
I remembered telling hubby I won't sew again but this man Martins Ayodele wouldn't let me rest 😁😁 He always told me I have potentials . I never saw that honestly

My sister and her Husband gave me a sewing machine and that was how I started sewing at one corner of our room . Things was really hard , my husband was working and not getting paid ( story for another day )

Year 2018 , a started sewing small small and before you know it my elder sister told everyone I was sewing because I do make her dresses . Clients were increasing and I had to be staying up at night to work . It was so hard because I work from Monday to Saturday at the laundry Store

Year 2019 it became so hard to combine my job with my passion , so I had to make a decision to stop the work and continue my Fashion journey from where I stopped . I was able to gather up from my job and open a small shop with 2 manual sewing machine , 2 mannequin , 2 tables , mirror and my Faith in God

God really came through and we started growing from there till now . Year 2020 , I brought my business to social media and started from the scratch and here we are 🙏 God has been faithful

MORAL OF THIS STORY 👇👇

If your passion is not paying your bills , find something to do with your life
You can work for fashion house
If there's no fashion house to work with , do something else even if it's not fashion related . Gather money from there to fund your dreams . Do not rush things 🙏 wish you all the best

WHY IMPORTED CLOTHES ARE CHEAPER THAN LOCALLY MADE ONES.

An important but troubling question was asked in one of our classes by one of our students.

"Why are imported items cheaper than locally made ones?"

Here was the answer I gave to this very pertinent question!

There are several reasons why imported items, including ready-made clothes, are often cheaper than locally made ones in Nigeria:

Import-related factors:

1. Economies of scale: Large-scale international manufacturers produce massive quantities, reducing costs per unit.
2. Lower production costs: Foreign manufacturers often benefit from cheaper labor, energy, and raw materials.
3. Government subsidies: Some countries subsidize exports, making them more competitive.
4. Efficient supply chains: Well-established global logistics reduce transportation costs.

Local production challenges:

1. High production costs: Labor, energy, and raw materials are often more expensive in Nigeria.
2. Limited economies of scale: Small-scale local manufacturers struggle to match international production volumes.
3. Inadequate infrastructure: Poor roads, electricity, and water supply increase production costs.
Just imagine the plight of a local tailor in the midst of incessant collapses of the country's national grid.
4. Corruption and bureaucracy: Red tape and corruption add to production costs.
5. Has local delivery companies ever dealt with you?

Nigerian market dynamics:

1. Demand for foreign goods: Consumers often prefer imported products due to perceived quality and status.
2. Competition: Local manufacturers struggle to compete with cheap imports.
3. Tariff policies: Import duties and taxes may not adequately protect local industries.
4. Currency fluctuations: Naira volatility affects import costs and pricing.

Specific textile industry challenges:

1. Lack of local cotton production: Nigeria relies on imported cotton.
2. Inadequate textile infrastructure: Local textile mills are often outdated or non-functional.
3. Limited access to finance: Local manufacturers face high interest rates or limited funding.
4. Skill gaps: Local workforce may lack specialized textile skills.

My Solutions :

1. Government support: Policies to promote local manufacturing, such as tax incentives and subsidies.
2. Investment in infrastructure: Improve roads, electricity, and water supply.
3. Capacity building: Training programs for local textile workers.
4. Buy Nigerian campaigns: Encourage consumers to support local products.
5. Tariff reforms: Review and adjust import duties to protect local industries.

Initiatives:

1. Nigerian Industrial Revolution Plan (NIRP)
2. National Textile Policy
3. African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA)
4. Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC)

To bridge the price gap, Nigeria needs to address these challenges and implement policies that support local manufacturing.
