This is my 500th post on Nairaland and I decided to make it worthwhile. I'm and Entrepreneur based in Lagos and I'm an online business enthusiast. Over the years I've watched online businesses like Jobberman, IrokoTV and the likes start out of nothing and become a million dollar business in a couple of years.

Besides the monetary aspect, I am also passionate about bringing solution to common problems thereby enhancing everyone's lives. This to me is true wealth as compared to the million dollar business valuation. If you are reading this post right now, then you're not a stranger to Nairaland. We all know the value this great forum brings to our lives and as a matter of fact, certain users have gotten addicted to it. That to me is value and this is why the Nairaland was once evaluated to be worth approximately $1,000,0000 USD at that time.

Such achievement to me isn't much of a big deal because I also had a website at that period that was worth about $40,000 USD (8 Million Naira) and it was only a couple of months old. How did I achieve that in such a short period of time you may ask. Oh well, that would be a topic for another day.

I would normally post this in the diary section so as not to get distracted with comments by critics and pessimists but I decided to make it an open discussion. Perhaps I can also learn something from someone with lots of experience.

Valuable comments and contributions and questions are welcome.

The goal of this thread is to dare anyone who deems fit to think outside the box. Be a little more creative. With a stroke of luck you might achieve way beyond your dreams.

The subject of this thread might sound outrageous. Knowing the kind of person I am presently, you might say it's totally impossible, but guess what. I'm not the only person who shares the same passion to succeed. A friend of mine who saw this thread last night commended me for being so ambitious. Oh well! to me, It's beyond ambition. I want to see it manifest and this will surely happen in time.

It's about time we experience a paradigm shift from an oil based economy. Thankfully, crude oil no longer attracts much value in the international market.

Automobile manufacturers like Tesla are already leading the pack in electricity powered vehicles (E.P.V). It's about time we all start thinking outside the box. This is aa worthy course I truly believe is worth living for.

Love your post but can't really get what you want actually. Is it a business idea that is worthwhile or what

Take for instance two beverage companies like coke and pepsi.
They both produce refreshment.


Same idea.

But they have different business secrets.

At least you don't see them sharing it publicly until it's executed.
