One thing I’ve learned from spending time here in China is this:

Finding a supplier is easy. Knowing how to buy is where the real money is.

A lot of foreigners come to China, see a price that looks cheap and immediately think they’ve found a good deal.

But who are you actually buying from? A factory? A wholesaler? Or another middleman adding his own profit?

Since living and working here, visiting factories, negotiating with suppliers, and building our Chinese team, I’ve seen how much difference buying the right way can make.

We’ve saved tens of thousands of dollars sourcing phones, solar equipment, fashion products, vehicles and other goods.

And it comes down to simple things: knowing where to source, negotiating properly, verifying who you’re dealing with, and inspecting before you ship.

That’s what I explain in this video.

If you’re importing from China, don’t just learn where to buy. Learn how to buy.

And if you need people here in China to do the groundwork for you, that’s exactly why we built the AfricanIES China team.

One of the biggest mistakes I see many Nigerians make is believing that importing from China is simply about finding a supplier on Alibaba.

It is much more than that.

Over the past few months, after living and working in China, I've discovered strategies that have helped us save tens of thousands of dollars on sourcing, negotiations, and shipping—simply by understanding how the local market works.

I've also seen why so many people get scammed, buy from expensive middlemen without realizing it, or pay far more than they should for shipping.

That's exactly why I'm hosting this FREE live webinar.

I'll be sharing practical lessons we've learned on the ground in China, including how to:

✅ Find genuine manufacturers instead of expensive middlemen.
✅ Avoid fake suppliers and costly scams.
✅ Reduce your shipping costs by up to 10% or more.
✅ Buy directly from China without spending millions travelling there.
✅ And several other strategies that can save you money and costly mistakes.

Whether you're already importing or you're planning to start, this session could save you a lot of money.

Let’s dive into export for a bit.

One thing I’ve noticed is that many new exporters are so focused on getting international buyers that they forget what happens after the buyer places the order.

You can have a good product and still have your shipment delayed or rejected because of simple mistakes.

Three things I believe every exporter should take seriously:

1. Labeling.
Don’t assume what works in Nigeria or Ghana will automatically work in the USA, UK or Canada. Understand the requirements of the country you’re exporting to.

2. Packaging.
Leaking products, weak seals and damaged packaging can create problems before anyone even looks at the quality of your product.

3. Documentation.
Make sure your invoice, packing list and other required documents accurately match what you’re shipping.

I always tell exporters: getting the buyer is one thing. Delivering properly is another.

You worked hard to get that international order. Don’t lose it because of something you could have gotten right before shipping.

I’ll share more export lessons soon.

Many African stores struggle with sales not because of poor products, but because people in the community simply don’t know they exist.

If you want your store to grow, you must show up where your customers are.

Here are 4 practical ways African stores abroad can grow their sales:

1️⃣ Attend Community Events
Don’t just distribute flyers.
Bring samples of your high-quality packaged products so people can taste and experience what you sell.

2️⃣ Partner With African Influencers Abroad
Work with influencers whose audience actually lives in your city or community — not just people back home.

3️⃣ Join Diaspora Facebook & Instagram Groups
Groups like “Nigerians in Houston” or “Nigerians in Texas” are powerful.
Share useful updates about your store regularly — but don’t spam the group.

4️⃣ Support Community & Church Events
Many African communities gather in churches and cultural events.
Sponsor events, introduce your store, and let people know where to find you.

If you execute these steps consistently, your store will gradually become the go-to African store in your area.

Follow me as I continue sharing practical strategies for building profitable African businesses abroad.

A lot of exporters spend all their time thinking about the product.

Is the quality good? Is the packaging right? Will the buyer like it?

Those things matter.

But there is another decision that can make or break the entire transaction:

Who is handling your shipment?

Especially when you’re exporting food.

The wrong logistics partner can turn a good order into delays, compliance problems and an unhappy buyer.

So before you hand over your next food shipment, ask these four questions:

1. Have you handled commercial food exports before?
Sending a few cartons abroad is different from handling products meant for commercial sale.

2. Do you understand FDA requirements?
If you’re shipping food to the U.S., things like Prior Notice and Food Facility Registration cannot be treated casually.

3. Do you know what documents my particular product requires?
Don't accept “we ship food” as the only answer. Ask about your product.

4. What is the actual transit time?
Your buyer is waiting. You need realistic timelines, not promises that change after payment.

I always tell exporters: don't choose a shipping partner simply because they gave you the cheapest quote.

Saving a little on shipping means nothing if you end up losing the shipment or, even worse, losing the buyer.

You worked hard to get that international order.

Make sure the people moving it understand what they are doing.

I’ll keep sharing what African exporters need to know to build a serious export business.

If you are importing from China, you may be losing money without even knowing it.
ㅤ
Since coming to China, I’ve seen something that I think every African importer needs to understand.
ㅤ
Sometimes, the problem is not what you are selling.
ㅤ
The problem is how and where you are buying it.
ㅤ
You could be buying from someone who is also buying from someone else and adding their own markup.
ㅤ
You could be paying more than necessary.
ㅤ
You could be dealing with the wrong supplier.
ㅤ
Or you could find something that looks very cheap online, only to discover that after shipping and other costs, it wasn’t cheap after all.
ㅤ
This is why I keep saying that importing from China is not just about finding cheap products.
ㅤ
You need to know where to buy, how to identify genuine suppliers, how to verify what you are paying for, how to negotiate properly, and how to get your goods to Nigeria without making costly mistakes.
ㅤ
And because I know many people want to understand this business, I decided to put together a completely FREE training.
ㅤ
You don’t have to pay me anything. Just come and learn.
ㅤ
I break down what I’ve learned about sourcing from China, finding better prices, avoiding the wrong suppliers, verifying products, and shipping to Nigeria.
ㅤ
Whether you have never imported before or you already import from China and want to improve your margins, there is something in this training for you.
ㅤ
And no, you don’t necessarily have to spend millions travelling to China before you can take advantage of the opportunities here.
ㅤ
This short video is only a small part of the FREE training.

It's a new week... Let’s start a new conversation about exporting from Africa.

One thing I’ve noticed is that many exporters spend so much time looking for international buyers that they forget to ask an important question:

When you finally find the buyer, why should they trust you?

Because having a good product is not enough.

A serious buyer wants to know that if they send you money today, you will deliver exactly what you promised, when you promised it.

So this week, I want to share some of the things I believe African exporters need to understand about building trust with international buyers.

Let’s start with these five:

1. Respond quickly and communicate properly.
Don't leave a serious buyer waiting for days. Be clear. Be professional. Keep proper records of your conversations and documents.

2. Let them test your product.
If they want samples, provide them. If your product requires testing or certification, have the necessary documents available. Give them a reason to believe what you’re telling them.

3. Don't promise what you cannot deliver.
This one is important. If you can supply 100 units, don't promise 1,000 because you’re afraid of losing the buyer. One bad transaction can close a door that could have remained open for years.

4. Show them what is happening behind the scenes.
Your facility. Your products. Your packaging. Your processes. Let them see that there is a real business behind the email or WhatsApp number.

5. Be consistent.
Anybody can get one order right. The real business is getting the buyer to come back for the second, third, and tenth order.

That is how relationships are built.

And that is what I want us to talk about this week.

Not just how to find international buyers, but how to become the kind of African supplier international buyers actually want to keep doing business with.

We’ll continue tomorrow.

China ... !!!

Finding balance in everything is important....

Sometimes we get so caught up in work, meetings, targets, responsibilities, and trying to build the next thing that we forget there is more to life than work.

And as they say, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”

I definitely don’t know how to DJ 😂, but I saw the opportunity to have a little fun, and I took it.

I believe there is a time to work seriously, and there is also a time to relax, laugh, enjoy yourself, and recharge.

Because the truth is, the work never really finishes. There will always be another meeting, another problem to solve, and another goal to chase.

So whenever you get the opportunity, find your balance and enjoy the moment.

And since you know I can hardly finish a post without talking about business 😂…

If you’re importing from China to Nigeria, or you need help sourcing a particular product or machinery in China, AfricanIES now has a team on the ground helping African businesses source, verify, buy, and ship their goods to Nigeria.
