Food such as quaker oats and other grainy foods cooked as such is ussualy called porridge while pottage is made from vegies or tubers sucha s yam, potatoes etc.

Please note that I was not mocking the OP O. Just wanted to be sure of which his mom was actually going into.

I think both are good ideas but maybe try the one that requires less capital to start first?

Duuude, if you are sure of a secure place, a daycare would be more profitble. The food business is over saturated. The thing is if she can really gain the trust of parents, before u know it she can open branches, establish branches close to big companies (chevron) where rich nursing mums can just pop in since its close by.....

She can innovate and make her daycare have cameras where parents can just login and see how their kids re doing, the possibilities are endless before u know it she has a business she can hand over to you her children.

She can create an agency where she would train nannies to be hired, she would collect the money nd pay the nannies salaries the same way security outfits do theirs... Can u see how big it could get??

Porridge on the other hand is bleh cos most people dont eat such food outside nd its like buying yellow beans.

Everything you typed here is totally wrong. Mothers in general are very very cautious nowadays which Daycares and creches to use. No-one wants her child to be a story of woe on NL. And rich nursing mummies are even more uptight about childcare: they want a full-time pediatric nurse on standby, enough minders for all the children, enough quality entertainment (not dumping in front of tv, but analytical and reasoning games), story time, proper nutrition, cctv and security. And they will only pay good money if they get that.

OP, go with the food option.

This two business are good depending on the following factors

1. Ability to cook good food or take care of children well in a more decent and hygienic environment

2. Capital, what is the amount she has to spend on the business

3. Understanding, how well does she understand the businesses

4. Age, will her age permit her to cook or take care of the children; or she will employ people

5. Environment and packaging, she needs to know which business will thrive well in her location, and she must be so good in packaging her food or presentation of the children

Hope my suggestion was helpful

Op, what qualifications has your mom got to run a day care? A daycare goes beyond putting children in a space and looking after them. Does she have qualifications and experiences in child psychology, teaching targeted at children or any child related qualification/experience? If your answer is no then I will say the daycare idea be shelved, unless she is willing to hire someone with the right experience/qualification to spearhead the day to day running of the daycare.
Another question is what is the age range to be considered? Running a daycare is a lot more than the average Joe thinks. If not because of the Nigerian factor, there should be a body responsible for overseeing such operations, and ensure all employees are duly checked (criminal checks etc)
One can never go wrong with food because as someone said, people must eat. But like one poster asked; is it porridge or pottage? You need to clarify this, and is this not been too restrictive? I will advise your mom does a feasibility study on the intended locality where the business will be located. That will enable her to make a decision on what will more profitable.

You actually need more money to set up food business than a day care. I have done it before. You would need more than 1mil to standardize a space, buy fridge, gas burner, cutlery, etc. You will employ people etc. Plus the stress of daily cooking and cleaning. That's the thing with food bizz, you got to go all out or no one will want to eat there whereas with the daycare ish, you can start small and start earning almost immediatly

My dear, you mummy must be spiritually strong before she can start selling porridge , this business is not just for anybody, if you are in doubt, ask elders in your community and not Google. A word is enough for the wise.

@OP day care business is very good.. just that you will make the house very comfortable and homely for the kids. ...I paid #45000 for my son when he was in day care. ...in his skul they have more than 5 nannies taking care of them and kids will come with their own food,clothes and diapers. .... and the house must be spacious,with TV, lots of toys, painted with a good attractive colour , and also have beds for sleeping and also cabinet where they will keep their bags......the changing room should not be in the place kids are it should be in another room.........Water and electricity is very important so that heat will not kill them oooo....
in the beginning u will not be looking at the profit but later you will start gaining big
By Gods grace this is the business I want because I love kids. ..........

Hello Nairalanders, the reason I am messaging you is because I see real pontential in all of you. As you know in Nigeria many live in poverty and many of us have great ideas but no funds to pursue our ideas and currently there are no forums on the net that caters about Business & Finance specifically to Nigerians. I am proposing that we all come together in one roof and bringing investors, mentors, and entrepreneurs together and share each other our ideas and knowledge and make each other successful. I currently own a forum with 41 users and 10 of them are from Nairaland. I am making a group in my website so only nairalanders will be apart of. I urge you all to join us and make Africa great!

OP u need to clarify on the porridge or pottage stuff.
Seems to me like what you described here is packaged porridge like oats to be purchased off the shelf and the buyer will have to go cook himself or herself and not cooked pottage as interpreted by most people.

Both ideas are good but you guys need to do proper feasibility study and another thing to consider would be required start up capital.
However personally I think cooked pottage will be more marketable than packaged off the shelf porridge.

Non of the above .

First of all , porridge is generally not a delicacy that'll appeal to many . You have to go extra mile in order to arouse the appetites of the eaters .

Daycare . Hmmmmm. Your mum has to be patient to handle the rate at which she changes diapers . Children can shyte even when they don't feel like shyting. They'll force it out somehow while looking at the caretaker with a suppressed laughter .


In terms of cost, daycare is way cheaper in the sense that she can use her home instead of renting an apartment . The only costly thing there is the pampers cause a child with a running stomach can finish one bundle in an hour . She's got a telly already . she'll buy some story books and toys.

There is more to DAYCARE than who u jst knw. It goes way beyond than what u jst wrote. Gracias.

The porridge sounds better and more lucrative if she aint too old for the stress that comes with cooking for large number of people.

Madam don't you think 1million is overemphasized? Except you're running a very large resturant. Got an idea on this food business we can chat up to talk better than this? Though I'm a young graduate so I think rubbing minds will be better.

Note; I made so cost anaylsis based on the type of food design I saw at cotonou which is less costly. I do appreciate we talk madam.
