Politics / Re: Alleged Anti-igbo Comment: Catholic Church Group Tackles Oba Akiolu by 185mikel(m): 7:07pm On Apr 06, 2015
ChinemeOkpan:
Oba of Lagos should be respected by all lagosians- both indigenes and immigrants

No one should disrespect Oba Akiolu

He has spoken, everyone should adjust accordingly

'oba has spoken.' is he God? I'm not sure if he say such thing or not, but if it's true, he has open the room to receive a lot of insult on himself and his throne.

a respected and honourable person is not suppose to open his or her mouth wide if he or she want to retain their honour and respect.

BUSINESS IDEAS 18

Catering

If you're one of those fearless people who enjoys giving elegant dinner parties, you get rave reviews from guests and your relatives beg to have holidays at your house because of your cooking, then catering might be your cup of tea. As a caterer, you'll plan menus and elegant or playful presentations for everything from company picnics to debutante balls, then cook it all up, deliver it to the event, serve it and clean up afterward. You can specialize in affairs like weddings; specific goodies like cakes or cookies; or clients like corporations, charities or individual parties. While your family may clamor for your meatloaf and mashed potatoes, you'll need more than just the ability to whip up some spuds. You'll also need a flair for presentation--the ability to make the fruits (and other foods) of your labors look fancy--as well as a talent for the latest trends in foods and party ideas. You'll also need an abundance of organizational, time-management and record-keeping skills. Catering requires lots of hard-core planning and pacing. Last but not least, you need a good grounding in safe food-handling practices, product liability laws and health regulations, and good people skills. The advantages to this business are that it's creative and fun--you can throw a party any time you like and serve up all sorts of new dishes and new ideas--and somebody else foots the bill. It's gratifying--people always appreciate being fed, and when your presentation is elegant or intriguing, they're impressed as well. You can start part time and you can base your office at home.

The Market
Your clients can be people with something to celebrate--a wedding, anniversary, graduation or other milestone--or any other kind of bash. You can go after the corporate market, helping to make a splash at conferences, meetings, employee-morale boosters and grand openings, or you can set a course for businesses like yacht charters, sunset cruises and dinner theaters. To snag the celebratory types, develop a referral network--introduce yourself to wedding planners, bridal boutiques, cake decorators and bakers, florists, and card and party supply shopkeepers. Hand out brochures and business cards and check in often. Bring a few choice tidbits, snazzy hors d'ouevres or sinful desserts to give as goodwill gestures. Everybody loves an unexpected treat and the person who delivers it--this is a good way to ensure that they remember you fondly and refer you to their own clients. For corporate and other business types, send a sales letter and brochure, then follow up with a phone call requesting an appointment to discuss your services. Cater a charity event in exchange for publicity, then get your company written up in local publications. Volunteer yourself for a local radio chat show and answer questions about throwing successful parties.

Needed Equipment
Other than a commercial kitchen, the only things you need to get started are a phone and a delivery vehicle. A computer and printer are always nice but not a necessity for starters. You can get around the kitchen problem by arranging to use a restaurant's facility for a small fee in its off-hours or by sharing the rental costs of a commercial kitchen and its use with other caterers.

BUSINESS IDEAS 17

Bottled Water

Did you know that many water bottling facilities bottle water under private label agreements? While this may seem like useless trivia to most, it certainly is useful information for anyone seeking to start a business wholesaling or retailing bottled water, especially on a limited startup capital basis. Fifty years from now the overnight millionaires and billionaires will not be conquering heroes of tech startups, but rather entrepreneurs that had the foresight to start businesses in the water supply or recycling industries. The world's population now stands at more than six billion people, half of which don't currently have access to clean drinking water. As the world's population expands, this disastrous situation isn't going to improve. It's possible to get into the bottled water sales business now with a limited startup investment and grow the business from the profits that are earned until the business can be expanded to the point that water bottling and purchasing water rights for bottling can be accomplished.

Catering Truck

Secondhand catering trucks in good condition can be purchased, and this can be the first step taken to establishing a catering truck route. A catering truck route is a great business to set in motion. The business can also be started and can easily generate a combined income and profit earnings. Additionally, food products can be purchased from restaurants, catering services and wholesalers and marked up by as much as 150 percent for retail sales. Ideal stopping points for a catering truck route include construction sites, factories, parks, beaches and sporting events.

BUSINESS IDEAS 15

Business Consultant

If you're a business expert--you're a whiz at marketing, reorganization, setting up franchises, retooling the company image, or any number of other specialties--then you've got the right stuff to be a business consultant. Instead of reporting to the office every day as a company man or woman, you'll work as an independent contractor on special projects for a number of clients. The advantages to this business are that you can work at home and you get the excitement and pacing of the corporate world without having to live it on a 9-to-5 basis. You'll need a strong background in your area of expertise coupled with stellar marketing skills to convince potential clients of your worth. You'll also need excellent communication and people skills--you'll be going into the company as an outsider, which can be good or bad, depending on the interpersonal culture of the company.

The Market
Network among professional and civic organizations in your area and among present and former colleagues. Write articles for the business section of local publications. Give talks to business groups and seminars or workshops at local colleges. Place an ad in the Yellow Pages. Put up a website.

Needed Equipment
You should have top-notch credentials in your specialty--you've held prominent positions, can cite professional certification, belong to pertinent organizations, have written books or articles, or taught courses or workshops. You should also have a reference network--colleagues or other businesspeople who can attest to your expertise and business smarts. Besides what's in your head, you'll need the standard office setup--a computer, a laser printer, a fax machine and the usual office software.
