In most countries Africa, electricity is a problem. In the tropics heat makes people to desire cold drinks.

Are you going to join in the complaining spree? You can be the solution provider. In many places in Nigeria, the transformer is taken away for months. You can buy big generator to power your ice block machine. You will also be selling cold drinks by the side in retail and wholesale, do a phone and laptop recharge business by the side since your light is always on, frozen food like fish and meat. You can also add the business of stocking people’s meat and fish for them for a fee. One business of ice block will create more businesses for you.

If you are abroad and are thinking of what business to start in your village this is the business for your family members in Nigeria. Most villages have no steady power suppl. People travel far to buy ice block or cold drinks especially during events.

I travelled for an aged grandmother burial at Kabba some time ago. There was no light in the available hotel where we stayed. One of my friends that we travelled together had to charge his phone in a commercial phone charging shop at the Kabba market. After about one hour he went back and collected his charged phone. Many other businesses that need light can be done by the side as you put on your generator for ice block.
