I know there are a lot to do with this amount of money, but I need some input from great thinkers on this forum. To give you a brief, I am a recent graduate in the Technology field here in the USA, and currently unemployed. I have turned down a couple of job offers, and I am still going for interviews. It recently dawned on me that it is best to have my own business going on in Nigeria, and not worry about working for other people. Having said that, I need to know what you guys think about starting up a business with N800,000 or half of this amount. In other words, if you were given N800,000 what will you do with it? whoever comes up with the brightest idea wins a 1500 recharge card. You may email me (dbraham@mail.com) if you do not feel comfortable writing it on this forum.

My able moderator please help put this on the front page.

I have 101 business ideas.

But If I have an idle N800,000, I'll add it with whatever I'm able to get via loan, and pump the total sum into a Fastfood/Restaurant Business in a town with less competition.

If I'm in Lagos or any other city, I won't do a regular fastfood.. i.e uac Mr Biggs, Tantalizers, Mama kass, etc. cos it will take a huge sum to kick them out or even compete with them..
But a special area focused on a particular dish/pastries/fries etc would sell..

For instance, I may decide to sell ONLY shawarma
Yoghurt

Trust me, a radical marketing skill plus an aggresive zeal coupled with an online strategy will yield a large ROI.


I'll be back with other ideas
