mr_king: Ơ̴̴̴͡k here's M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ own little business idea with such amount
Firewood selling and supply
Charcoal selling
Egg supply
Ice block etc.
#200k is just so small!
If you want it real big, go into okirika Clothings, shoes etc
Beer parlour or better still, raise money and buy Keke Napep.

There A̶̲̥̅̊я̲̣̥ε̲̣̣̣̥ loads of business to do in Nigeria but not with that small capital!! You need real money to start up something big in Nigeria of today! Gone A̶̲̥̅̊я̲̣̥ε̲̣̣̣̥ those days when people say one can start with small capital and earn big!! Evrything is money now!!!

AdoOloro: It depends on your location bro,

for the start, 2 Okadas gave me 60k every month. Both Okadas purchased for 150k (they don't have to be new).
I moved to 4 Okadas and was getting 120k a month after 4 months.
Now with 8 Okadas, I get at least 200k monthly after 10 months and with the capability to expand every month but don't want to because its becoming difficult to manage. Every Sunday is party time at my place when those boys are delivering.

Invested in poultry and will soon have capability to produce about 3,000 eggs per week with an average of 400 eggs per day.
Now, I'm extremely worried about how and where to sell.

If you can manage people, you'll find a lot of small businesses that won't take your time or require your presence.

When I see people suggesting marketing stuff, selling clothes, photography, recharge card printing, importation, etc, I just laugh. Some people are just clueless, they think business is a thing to play with.
When you start a business, no matter how small, you have started something that has the potential of taking your life or giving you a life. If you play with it you may be playing with your life.
Many small businesses you see around that inspire you to want to build a Kiosk by the road side or rent a shop, are suffering in silence.

Do your thing your own way sir. Simply look around and start by doing something that will meet people's need, something that will make people wait for you even while you are not around. That is the Goldmine you should invest in and they abound everywhere around you.

Fhemmmy:

Great idea but to make sure the Okada riders dont run away with the parcel or document is the challenge

Billyonaire: Depends on location. If you are in Lagos, then you can always make quick bucks with less than that.

steffans: *Futball viewing Centre(depending on ur neighbour hood... Ppl watch match evryweekend)....
*Beer Palour(even persin wey broke 4 aftanOon dey drink beer @ nyt)
*Taxi/Keke Napep (pays well wen u get d ryt persin to handle it)..
*Sell weavons/Attachements in whole sale.. It moves!!!!

[b]*Football centre will be easy to start up. I can't give advice on beer joints or taxi/Keke Napep sha. But, I'll do my best to break down the football viewing centre idea and the weavons/attachments idea.

Breaking down the football centre idea,
i) You rent chairs for... how much can you get chairs for? That's a research for OP to make.
ii) You need a TV set. You can borrow/hire-purchase from someone. It must not be plasma anyway.
iii) You need DSTV/HiTV subscription.
iv) You hire I-pass-my-neighbour generator and make provision for 4 litres of fuel.
v) You need wires and sockets.

You're good to go.

Now, in doing this, you can harness the power of complements (bread and butter, bread and beans, bread and jam, etc.).

Which complement can you harness in a football viewing centre? Partnering with a snack and soft drink seller to sell snacks and soft drinks.

What else? If that vicinity has light issue, you buy about 5 extension boxes and connect them to each other. You'll need about N3,000 to get these. Once all are inter-connected, you'll have about 30 charging slots. Don't charge N50 like everyone. You can charge about N40/N30. N30/N40 * 30 = N900, or N1,200 per match.

Once you've figured this out, employ someone you know on a commission basis. It's not wise to pay salary/wage at this stage.

WEAVONS/ATTACHMENTS SALES
This should be simpler, especially if you rapport well with the ladies. You can be a sell-out in a short time.

Breaking it down,
i) Just visit AliExpress or any other online site.
ii) Shop around for the weavons/attachments.
iii) Make your purchase with your card, or get a 3rd party shipping company.
iv) Before you get your ordered weavons/attachments, start marketing and advertising. Employ the power of threaded customer conversion to get more customers (discounts, promos, etc.)

That's all I can think of now.

Hope this helps.[/b]

adconline: How's bout something like sweet popcorn, groundnut, cashnut, fresh nut sold by wheelbarrow pushers, repackaging and selling them in a cleaner and tastier way with popcorn. U must have a mobile stand with a tricycle

AdoOloro:

This sulks man! Think like dangote

AdoOloro:

I can't believe what i'm seeing. Popcorn?? Ground nut For a big boy
Don't you want him to live long?

big-t:


sales of clothes, that is a good one there, you should know what your co-workers like, and must be able to predict so you wont go out of vouge in large!

Printing of recharge cards, this is a business i wont advise you to venture into or else you want a lillte profit - which is not the forecast of any aspiring business mogul!
Even if you try as much as possible not to recharge from your stock, your co-workers migght recharge on credit, and for every 1k voucher, is a 50 Naira gain. Within months, if you were unable to discipline yourself, it is all gone!!
Photography, thiis is another good one, especially when you are close to a photo lab where you can print at affordable prices. You can also boost your star and cut the costs by editing by yourself!
All you need is your digital camera, a memory card+USB card readerand a small laptop or desktop + ur phone, internet enabled! Get all these and you can print digital pictures at the rate of 30 naira per pix (@ least hat is the price here). However, someab owhers needs the presence of a photographer or else they will charge you more. This you can overcome by tipping off a photographer (most expecially, an apprentice) trying to print his own to add it up!! more coming......

frankobaba: How about setting up a laundry business...and employ some teens around to do the job on a part time basis for a reasonable Wage. And u can also sell some laundry items der too. Just a suggestion... Think BIG Bro

adconline:
A big boy is not asking for a N200,000 idea. Big boy idea is how to invest N50-N100million. You are still warped in poverty idea. Ever wonder why coca cola, Pepsi and Coscharis are in "pure" water business? Start small and grow big!

lawizle:

Can I as a medical doctor get d certification easily?

BizBloke:

I guess he/she has to deal with 'trustworthy' okada men. For instance, if I borrow this idea and implement in the South East, I already have an Okada man and a Keke Napep guy to start up with. It's about knowing them and KNOWING them sha.

MsSantaClaus:

Sounds interesting, but are Okadas still allowed in Lagos? Unless I don't know what Okadas are!
