No doubt about the situation in the country right now.

Talking about the downturn of the economy which has lead to high rate of unemployment.

One thing is certain, that as a country we're lagging when it comes to Industrialization, I mean MANUFACTURING.

For instance, UBA listed over 150 manufacturing companies on their website under company account registration of which less than 20 can be found in this country.

I don't want to type much but what I'm saying is that, we have great minds in this country who are capable of causing industrialization revolution.

So, as Nairaland has brought many of us together, I'm proposing a physical group across the 36 states of the country + FCT.

This group will be:

1. a selfless
2. Not money hungry
3. Not tribalistic in nature
4. Not Religious inclined
5. Comprises of different great minds that can create LOCAL industries out of the abundance resources we have around us.

By LOCAL I mean from scratch with ONLY available resources which means we don't need to start looking for how to IMPORT one machine or equipment.

So I'm using this medium to call on my fellow nairalanders who have passion for science and technology to drop their opinion.

First, this can't be a group on NL as derailers will derail it.

Second, I guess you've learnt about the drivers of the industrial revolution, in which case you should educate us here please.

Nice contribution budaa

Yes! And that was the reason I said PHYSICAL GROUP which I believe that by the time we begin it'll be at specific location.

Quite well! Just that I don't want to flood this thread with long post.

I think I should copy some people here

I overlooked your "physical group". It means you'd be after people in a specific location or those who can travel to it, which might be limiting.

Might I suggest a Telegram group to begin with. There's bound to be lots of discussion before "by the time we begin", which could be done virtually. You may from there find people grouping according to common physical location.

By the way, your idea brings the following to mind.

Thanks for your contribution so far Budaa

Actually, the way I'm seeing it is like this.

I'm not to be in control of everything and I might not even leave my own location.

For instance, there will be a group in Lagos, Abuja and every other states, the people in Abuja might be focusing on a particular project(s). Likewise Lagos and other states.

The reason for this is that, we can have a complete production line.

What I mean is this, let's assume we want to create industrial revolution car production. Lagos group can focus on only CHASSIS production in MASS, Abia focus on seatbelt ONLY. with this they can roll out their products in mass with a MODULAR FACTORY and it will be easy to turn to local materials for alternatives.

Anyways, this is just an opinion

Might I suggest a Telegram group to begin with.

That's also a nice suggestion but I'm thinking if we can have a reasonable number here first then as individuals we can then start making adding more people from other social media

There's bound to be lots of discussion before "by the time we begin", which could be done virtually. You may from there find people grouping according to common physical location.

You're right!

By the time people who have interest show up here, we'll begin to drop our location so that we can meet each other.

By the way, your idea brings the following to mind.

Thank you for the mention. Now I've read what you put up.

Although I understand this is at its "pre-" stage, but I'll like to ask, with regards to financing the project, how might it be ?

Will love to join but am currently not in Nigeria

Thanks for your input.

About financial aspect of it, as I understand that's the major roadblocks for many startup business or company but in my opinion, I won't like this to follow the same way which is the reason I'm emphasizing on LOCAL WAY.

Which means, we don't need to start proposing huge amount of money that we won't be able to secure funds for leading to abandonment of the ideas.

We need more people's opinions on this.

You're highly welcome sir!

You can also drop your suggestion and what you think is the best way to go.

The local way also need money.

Meanwhile, what is in mind as our product ?

Yes I know but I guess it won't cost us much. Which can help us to have small budget.

Meanwhile, what is in mind as our product ?

I'm looking at manufacturing of modular machine!

That is, a complete production line divided into smaller segments, in that way we have end user from every product coming from each section.

Still obscured. Pls break it down.

If its a complete production line with segments, then it'll be making "parts" of a [bigger] product.

So if those parts are gonna have end users it makes it even more questionable in that who are these guys and users needing "parts" whereby its obvious the country isn't yet industrialized to have such prospects ?

And if otherwise, as in those parts would be products in its complete sense where by the end users could easily be home owners / families, then there would be a central point of assemblage or else the segments you mean would mean a production line in itself for a complete product.

Pls shed more light

Successdude:

I'll do that with reply to your questions.

If its a complete production line with segments, then it'll be making "parts" of a [bigger] product.

What I mean by complete production line is of two ways:

Firstly, looking at a big manufacturing company then break it into segments whereby each production line can be dealing in "PARTS" as you rightly said then the last production line will be for assembly of the rest of the production line.

Secondly, manufacturing a complete modular production line but with lower output. For instance, producing a complete production line for cassava processing which can produce like 5-10 bags per day.

I think you understand the line of thought I'm driving at.

But most importantly is the less cost to the end users because I think if there are affordable modular complete production lines, many people will have the machine leading to increase production of goods rather than one big production line.

Example: I want to set up a company while carrying out the market survey, I realized that to set up the standard one which can produce over 100sqm of sheets per day, it will cost us nothing less than 1billion Naira because we need about 20 different machines and the cost for per machine is from $50,000 and above.

Then I came across a company in China that are into the same manufacturing of those machines but in a modular version which can produce 8-10sqm per day and the whole production line is around 55-60million Naira in which the highest cost per machine is around $12,000 down to the lowest at around $450

To me I'd prefer (that is if I have the 1billion Naira self) to set up the 10 of those modular factories than setting up just one big one.

What I'm saying in essence is that, with modular production line, more people will be able to afford which will lead to increase in production.

Would the end product of an extension of the production line be sold or it'll need to be transported to some final assemblage point where other parts from other extensions would be brought and then form a complete product of which can be termed as complete to be sold ?

The point I'm trying to make is MANUFACTURING of industrial machine in a modular part which will lead to industrial revolution in Nigeria.

That is we look at a particular industrial production line and have them manufactured in segments then one group will be for final assemblage but the end product (that is the final assemblage) can now be purchased by those people who want to establish a company that required such machine.

For instance, a tomato paste production line some people will like to venture into the business but because the machine(s) required for standard production is(are) very costly, it limits seeing such company everywhere in the country which means if you don't have strong finance you can't start a company like that but with this idea many people can now open a factory producing tomato paste which in turn will lead to massive production.

This should be a clue to his ponzi abi wetin e call am MLM is that not an acronym for multilevel marketing.

You were looking for something related to this in your previous discussion with MaxInDHouse.

MaxInDHouse decision to use Romans 10:9 for all Christians made me do some research when he was stating that these same Christians are just claiming Christian based on that verse. That they are not really Christians and soldiers of Christ.
