2015 was a rough year for most people
especially the latter part but we launch into
2016, here are some startup ideas for anyone
looking to start a startup in 2016.

Payment abroad - like paypal
With the current naira restriction policy been
implemented by the central back on Nigeria,
This would be a good time to start a web
payment platform. Sort of like paypal where you
can load your account in naira here in Nigeria
and then pay online. For the various web
designers, programmers small and medium scale
business buying goods online, this will come
really handy.

Fuel delivery – like Uber for fuel
The current administration has just confirmed
that there will be a reduction of the price of
fuel to 85naira per liter coupled with the current
fuel situation in Nigeria an Uber for fuel will
come in handy. You could arrange with the
filling station for exclusive supply and you could
just supply it to clients based on their fuel
usage on a subscription bases either weekly or
monthly. I must also say that with the many
types of people who like me dislike going and
lining up at the filling stations, your service will
really easy my laziness.


Security - Infrared bomb detector
Am sure you already get this one but if have
never lived in the north, you might not
understand the scare we really go through when
in a public places with many people either it is
in the church, mosque, motor parks or in the
market. An infrared bomb detector will really
sell for the numerous churches, mosques, and
hotels. Remember also that security agencies
will also be some of your biggest customers.

Games – Educative games
We all love to play games but why not gamify
education such learning a particular subject
while playing the game in a fun manner that I
don’t even fill like I am learning. I remember
playing “who ones to be a millionaire” game on
our old desktop as a kid answering questions on
U.S history and culture which though I was
never taught I still loved it and leant a lot.


Power – cheaper inverter or solar panels
Power is one problem all Nigerian face on a
regular bases. With the epileptic situation of
power now you could create a cheap inverter
with a solar panel just for emergencies. The last
time I priced one it was about a hundred
thousand naira. If you could find a way to lower
the cost of the solar panels or the inverter
maybe buy from Chinese manufacturers and sell
straight to us at a cheap price will be
something I really love to get one and I believe
so will other people.
