Just wait to see if good government will replace this present one.. Cux doing business under this government is hell,except you're a politician or you're related to one.. Only then you won't feel the heat much.. Searching for partners.... You can talk to some of your friends about your ideas, some might be interested in working with you..
I have almost launched an idea with a close friend, I even brought money out, yet we didn't go past the website stage. Tried with another friend on his idea but he was being to clingy to his idea to want anybody to work with him on it, till now he hasn't done anything.

For the first comment, I think you have a point but I think it depends on the kind of business sha, government won't clamp down on all businesses

Out of 60, 23 are from Nigerians

So much coming from a generation that is greatly deprived of 21st century benefits

How can one put in for such grant because I have better ideas, honestly!

Most of these ideas have come across my mind at one point or the other.

I once had an idea that needed an app, so I shared it with my gf then(now ex), babe said she will work on that before we separated due to distance.

The idea is still there but I don't have such time or friend who is good in app building that could run that for me.

I am concerned businesses that would really drive growth in Africa are not supported, I can not see any ENERGY related business there (You can agree with me this is a problem of almost 70% of businesses on the continent). All this Financial, Health and Ecommerce solution is just barely scratching the surface.

Support businesses that are focused on alternative energy and real manufacturing, then I know they really want to help angry

funny thing is I have thought about about 2 ideas on this list that I never executed.

The Gamr own, I thought about that when I was in Orange academy with some classmates.

The Haul 247 own, I've always had that in mind to do cos I've done some middle man kinda gig for something around that where I would always have to look for trucks for manufacturers. I was like why not have them at one place so people can look for any available truck with ease.

My head, na idea full am but no better business partner to execute with cry

Bros, same here.

Na you mess up. If you have a great idea, talk to people search for people and sell your idea to them. Offer them co-founders position or make them shareholders. With these, you don't have to spend much

Getting engineers no hard. Search tech events on Eventbrite and attend. Network with them and you're good

Google has only invested in the startups to make them customers for life.
Invest $4million to gain $4billion in the long term
Alphabet and Meta don't invest in the African startups that can become their potential rivals.
If it is you. will you invest in a business that will kick you off the market. Let me rephrase that, will you empower a thief that want to come to your house to kill you and your children. All these Nigerians self. You guys think you are wiser than everyone else.
