Thanks Ajanlekoko we blacks are not lesser beings.
@Tanimola, good morning am back as i promised.

For being able to connect to the rich and mighty, I suggest you look at fundraising. Here, you connect NGOs or CBOs and help them raise fund,on an agreed fee, by talking to the rich and mighty to donate money.
Nigerian celebrities are also good target for fundraising business. Most of them have foundations which requires external funding. Fill in this gap and connect the stars with funds from the rich.

Most of these women are rich but lonely - a good opportunity to start a personal chatting business with the theme 'rich but lonely at 50'. You will go in person to chat with the lonely at heart for a fee.

These are ideas you can tinker with. However for an in depth description of how to go about anyone you choose, please contact me.

My challenge is still open to others. Let me help you connect your hobby with a work.
Thanks.

Stepo thanks. Tanimola you 've got to use what you have to get what you want. Failure is not an option for you.

Try the compere for free initially. Do it so well and interesting that they would always want you back.

Goodluck.

Hi friends, good afternoon. I can see another post hijacking.

Recall that I said there are other big time businesses you can make out from IP.

IP marketing is a big business. The awareness is very low. I bet that some of us, if not for the thread, have never heard of IP.

Here we go. Make contact with the IP institutions and negotiate for payment for any referral who takes up a project via you. Make a brochure and do things that can
raise awareness and follow it up to a logical conclusion. It is worth giving a trial, within your fellow diaspora.

We will look on the next option next week. Thanks.

Thanks tanimola for taking up my challenge. Your ability to talk is an asset.
Let me see how i can help you with your asset.

I can talk effortlessly: polish your english well. Consider being a compere for events for a start. Go back to the schools you talked about and compere during inter-house sport, valedictories, prize-giving and its likes. From their, talk your way to link other schools and outside events.

Link on to your local government and talk them into airing their achievements on the TV or radio, with you as the talk host. You can try talking to organizations or even schools too.

Use your practical experience to run a seminar with the theme 'how to talk to get what you want'. You can search for a better topic for the theme.

On your ability to hold forth with the rich and mighty, i will get back by Monday. We have to be careful so they don't feel ripped off.

I hope this little piece helped you.

Hello friends, I hope you are getting value for the time spent on this post. If not please inform me.

Your gift is ready, but I await my 50 post count before I put up my signature.

Today we want to do a further breakdown of our chosen object. Rather than say 'I love to write computer software codes'. You need to choose a niche and say 'I love to write computer games software codes'.
Another example, instead of 'I love to nurse sick children', equip yourself to say 'I love to nurse chilren with Down's syndrome'.

Why this object specificity? Expertise is the watch word here. If you have to do a surgery, which doctor do you see? A general practitioner or a surgeon?

To become a multi milion brand, you will require to be an expert in a niche of your choice. The concept of jack of all trade will take you nowhere.

I love to create solutions or solve problems. Rather than solve every problem, I chose to solve work/business idea related problems.

Let me hear your opinion on this. Thanks for the week.

Anybody else looking for a work-hobby advice? At your disposal. Thanks.

Good evening friends, thanks for making it a date.

With the horde of information you have at your disposal, you are eligible for any IP business.
Albeit, this few advice would be of help;

Enquiries through the web may not yield much. I did it once and I am yet to recieve a reply after a year. Go to the research agencies and the institutions for needed information, or you ask someone to do that on your behalf.

Do not represent yourself or sign any agreement by yourself. A lawyer with the bias for IP law is a must. They will help you understand the give and take of the deal.

Do not make a back door agreement with an individual, make everything official.

Ask questions and understand the terms before committing your funds.

Tomorrow we shall see other businesses we can make out from IP. Thanks.

Thanks Mr gendebs. Writing + repairs, what a powerful combination.

First, I will advice you choose a niche for your repairs e.g electronic, electrical or mechanical repairs of an object of interest (cars, computer, appliances e.t.c)
Learn more about your chosen niche to become an expert. Also learn how to write very well.
The bang for you will be in the writing of DIY (do it yourself) repairs, for sale, in form of info product. Imagine a written step by step, with pictures DIY on repairs of 'i beta pass my neighbour' generator. With good marketing, it will sell hot.
Blog about it - you write about repairs on the blog, package it well so people can pay for advisory services on repairs.

Wish you success. Thanks

Good afternoon friends,
I hope you all had a good night rest. I also hope i have answered your question Mr Successimpactld.

Now that you know you love to associate or solve problems, what next? Remember, I said you will have to attach your ability to an object. The next step will thus go like this;
I love to associate with people.
I love to nurse animals.
I love to tell stories to people.
I love to help people relax.
I love to proffer solutions to computers.
We are already establishing some interesting connection between your ability and an object.But this connection is just the beginning, Don't you think computer, people or animals sound vague?.

We will learn what to do it tomorrow. Thanks.

Such an educative thread. The present Nigeria we are in calls for people who will take their own destiny in there hand.
I think we will start to get it right when we understand that we owe ourself the duty of becoming what we ought to be. The world is not fair, so do not expect fairness from anybody, Be in charge of your life.
I run a thread on free tips for self-employment creation, here on Nairaland. The topic is 'How to Turn Yourself into A Multi Million Brand'. It is under the business/money sub-category by keemax. It is my contribution to your success.
Thanks.

Hi friends, let us make this thread more fun. Rather than write on the thread topic, throw your hobbies at me and let us see what i can make from it.
Thanks.

Good day my friends. This thread would have been nothing without you. I appreciate you all.

Did you go to the url i gave out yesterday? Despite having the IPPTO offices in all institutions, these institutions prefer to flock with their likes, hence the need for warima.
West African Research and Innovation Management (warima) consist of institutions of higher learning along the West African coast. It also has the mandate for commercialization of intellectual properties across it's jurisdiction. Fortunately, the headquarter is in Nigeria at UI, 1st floor, university advancement centre.

Now that I have this much information, how do I go about it?
Let us make it a date tomorrow.
Thanks.

Good afternoon friends. The highly educative post that would make you that man or woman of substance is here again. You are not yet near the tip of the iceberg, i can boldly say it.
You are still at the work idea generation stage - the actualization stage that will equip you for financial empowerment is still in the offing. So sit tight with the thread.

A request was made by one of our avid follower yesterday. For the purpose of understanding, a recap of yesterday post is our 'meat' for today.

For example, if your test indicate your ability as someone who socialize - and you choose association as what best desribes the ability - your next question should be, what thing will i associate with? Is it with people, animal, plant or what?
There must be an object or thing of interest to attach your entrepreneurial ability to - what you attach to is your target market.
You give your market what it wants, you get money in return.
Your own ability is another man's need. Somebody is waiting to pay you for your innate gift.


If questions arise feel free to ask. Thanks.

Thanks for your interest in this thread. Please can you reframe your question for my understanding? I await you. Thanks.

Not at all, i love to learn and i enjoy constructive criticism. It is the path to greatness.
Check my other threads in business/money category, 'How to turn yourself into a multimillion naira brand' and 'business ideas for the returning Nigerian diaspora'. Criticise it. Thanks bro

Thanks for being there for the thread. I am sorry for the typographic errors in yesterday's post.
I hope this thread have been quite helpful. I await your questions and of course, feedbacks for me to serve you better.

Did you go through the links? I bet you, with a minimum of N2 million you can start some. Like i said earlier in the thread, the feasibility study coupled with cost implications and every other thing required for the success of the project is done by these agencies. So for you,it is just a matter of walking into a ready made business.

Oops! What about the intellectual properties residing in the federal government institutions of higher learning?
Check www.warima.org . To be discussed tomorrow. Thanks.

Good morning. Thanks for going through the post.
For today we shall examine what a hobby is. According to the dictionary, a hobby is what you like to do for pleasure.

Since your hobby is a passion of your's, the probability of it's success when you turn it to work will be high. That is what is being promoted here.
I am sure that Tiger Woods initially played golf as a hobby, but when he saw the prospect therein, he turned pro.

What factor plays the major role in your choice of hobby? Let us discuss this. Thanks.

Good morning and thanks for making it a date with this post. Do not forget that we are learning how to make money using our God given ability. It is possible.
Know your ability and use it to get what you want.

Now that your entrepreneurial test shows that you love to help, and you have pinpoint caring as what describes you best, what next?

You must be able to apply your ability on an object. If you love to care, then for who? People, animals, enviroment or what? The object of interest is your target market.
Without them you can never be a known brand.

I expect your questions. Till tommorrow. Thanks.

Welcome on board. This post is for those left with no other choice than to fall on their hobby to create a job.
Examples of people who made millions from this connection abound. Zuckerberg's hobby of writing software programmes from middle school, turned him into billionaire in his twenties.
Who is going to be the next hobby million? Let us continue the gig tomorrow.
Thanks.

Good day. What a tragedic weekend for we Nigerians. May God grant their families the fortitude to bear the loss. I intend writing on infrasture development opportunities, when done with IP business.
Most accidents of such magnitude occur in Nigeria due to lack of adequate or modern infrastructures. We intend to look into existing opportunity in this area. Moreover, a lot of solicitation for PP partnership is being done by the federal goverment of late. So follow the thread.

However, i leave you with the links to parastatals that are IP loaded and waiting earnestly for investors like you to tap into it. Note: the domain of nigerian natural medicine development agency is up for sale.
www.fmst.gov.ng/parastatals.php

Good morning friends. As we share this national grief, may the soul of the departed rest in peace.
Every tragedy shows the vunerability of man. So for man it is really not how long but how well. In essence transforming our life and impacting others is how well life can be.

I thought someone was going to help us on our last question. I hope we understand every step we have gone through so far. Pls feel free to ask questions.


You can check for synonmys in advanced learning dictionaries, thesarus. For online version, check dictionary.com and thesarus.com.
Also make sure you check the meaning of your chosen skill - to tally with your ability.

What next? We shall get to know tomorrow. Thanks.

UncleJJ am still waitng on my feet.

Happy new month, thanks for staying with the thread.

Did you go to 'notap' website? Anything gained from it? Notap, under the ministry of sci. & tech is supposed to be the submission point for all IPs from government research institutes and institutes of higher learning, through their IP & technology transfer offices (IPPTO).

A list of all participating institution ought to be on notap site - whose mandate include registration of technology agreement and IP advisory services - however it is not.

For this reason, i will take you through each institute, their url and their IP jurisdiction.
Have a nice weekend. Thanks.

Forex within 3 days?

To my avid readers in the Diaspora, i say thank you for staying with the post. Did you go through the WIPO link? I am sure you have a better insight into what IP is about now.

Whao! The Nigeria IP information looks scattered, but i would try to compile it for your benefit.

The ministry of commerce and industry is in charge of registration of trademarks, patents, designs and administration of IP rights in Nigeria.
If your IP is any of the above, it's filing through an IP lawyer, is done in this office. The web address is www.ipong.com. Unfortunately it is not working.

For anything music, art or culture related, the Nigerian copyright commission, under the ministry of information and culture is in charge of the filing.

The federal ministry of science & technology and institutions of higher learning is where our interest lies for business.
No database exist online for IP business in Nigeria, but i wil direct you, for free, to important sites of immense help.

However i leave you with the website of the national office of technology acquisition and promotion. This office is a major player in the promotion and commercialization of IP in Nigeria.
www. notap.gov.ng

Good day to you all. I hope you were able to streamline your ability to one or two. The lesser, the better.

Second rule - choose a skill that best describe your ability. What do i mean? For example, I love to create. Creativity could mean designing, drawing, writing, inventing, problem solving and on the humour side, creating children. Therefore, saying i have creative ability seem vague.
Now, how do i choose the skill that best describe my entrepreneurial ability?
Let us make it a date tomorrow. Thanks.

Thanks Mr zangiff. For being the first person to make a comment, a gift awaits you. Please furnish me with your email address and the GSM provider you use, through the email contact on Nairaland Forum.

With nobody to help, then facebook ad optimization is a good niche for business. What a pity that i have my hands full already.
However i still require help. Thanks.

Good day friends, I look forward to hearing from you. I love dialogues because that is when learning is reciprocal. Anyway since nobody wants to air his or her view we have to continue. However, thanks for keeping a date with this thread.

While writing the prior post,i tried to look through the abilities of some well known people in the entertainment industry. Basket mouth has the ability to make people laugh. He has actually turn this ability into a multimillion naira brand. I am sure he cannot see himself do any other job. He left his university certificate to pursue his innate ability. Is he a loser for it? Judge by yourself. So this post is all about understanding our innate abilities and turning it into a worthy brand.

Today, we shall learn some few rules so that we can fine tune the result from the career test. We have to do it so that we can focus on just a thing or two at most. The first rule is that you don't choose more than two abilities. If your test shows that you love to associate, party,and socialize (in fact you can see they tally together, that is what occurs in all cases), it imperative you choose one or two from this ability that best describe you.
Do not forget that a multimillion brand is about what is unique to you.

Let us streamline our abilities to one or two. Thanks.
