Just looking at one of the police rescue 'speed boat"... Before it will get to an accident scene people don die troway... Hope it's not only me that saw that police canoe... May their souls rest in peace

One man's food is another man's.....

I know this may not sound great to Nigerians not after dstv have exploited us over the years and when hope seems to be coming, one prophet of doom comes over to say tstv will fail without even allowing them to start... Well there are many reasons in my head but I will start with two for now... Mind you nothing will make me happier this 2017 if the succeed cause even with my reasons I have already kept my 5K for the decoder.. Lol

1. Choosing October 1(, Nigeria independence day) for their lunch... Chaiiii so of all the 365 days it's Oct 1? Nigeria that is celebrating 57 years how far.... Which promise has Nigeria been able to fulfill... Well I can't remember any and If you can, please feel free to prove me wrong

2. What the hell is lie Mohammed doing at the launch... Eee... I wanted to cry as soon as I saw him... Does it mean the foundation of this great innovation will start on a lie... He (lie Mohammed) said we should tell one lie he has ever told Nigerians... And I have been searching for just one truth for years... Please if you find any show me let me stop the search...
More reasons later I think my noodles is ready

Personally when I saw lie Mohammed at the launch... Well let me reserve my thoughts for now

Please add more "Nigeria friendly investments" as no one is an island

Are you an entrepreneur or investor looking for where to invest your money with good returns? Do you want to invest in Nigeria but you don’t know where to invest your money?? Do you want to know where to find fast growing business ideas in Nigeria? Then I advice you read on because this article was written specially for you.

Mind you for you to be successful in these businesses you need to be technically sound,  know about some loopholes by learning from old, successful and experienced folks in your chosen investment and most especially study your environment first to know which business will thrive most and ensure that few people or no one is already in that line of business unless you are ready for competition.
Transport business
Whether it’s an okada or a taxi for local transport, or a bus for inter-state transport, buy any one you can afford and start your own transport business. Transport is a daily necessity, so it’s a hot business. But finding a trustworthy driver could be difficult.
School business
Start a primary or secondary school (or both). More and more Nigerians are appreciating education and are sending their wards to schools. But it could take months to years to get a decent number of pupils/students–depending on your marketing strategy.
Pharmacy/patent medicine
This business moves faster than owning a hospital because pharmacy stores and chemist’s shops are where most Nigerians first visit whenever they feel sick.
Creche
As more and more Nigerian mothers join the working class category, there is little or no time to take care of their children. But they’re willing to pay anyone who can do that for them. This business idea is appropriate for women.
Catering service
Catering is another hot business in Nigeria right now. Several thousands of parties are held in Nigeria every week, so there is a lot of business for caterers. If you have some culinary skills, start a catering service, and you’ll make money. If you don’t, attend a catering school.
Event planning
This is another business that takes advantage of the fact that Nigerians organize parties a lot. If you enjoy organizing parties, have keen eye for alluring color combinations, and pay attention to detail, this idea is for you. Truth is, no matter how harsh the economy is, Nigerians will party!

Haulage
If you can afford the cost of a truck, buy one and start making money with it. Many Nigerian companies are willing to pay big money to truck owners who use their truck for commercial haulage. Even our billionaire kidnapper knew its potentials and invested in it
Baby items
Start selling baby items such as wears and toys. You have a large target market, pregnant women and nursing mothers. No matter what state the economy is in, the country welcomes thousands of new babies every single day.
Rental business
Rent out things that are needed at parties, such as tents, chairs and tables, utensils, cutlery, and other things that people borrow for one-time use (such as wedding gowns, etc.). Nigerians love partying.
Kerosene
Most homes in Nigeria use kerosene on a daily basis for cooking. If you live in an area where there are more of middle-class and lower-class families, this is a good business opportunity for you. Just get one or two surface tanks and start selling.
Hair salon
Even in hard times, Nigerians love to take care of their hair. Whether it’s a barbing salon for men or a hairdressing salon for women, start anyone of your choice, and you’ll be on your way to financial independence. Even if you’re not a skilled barber or hairdresser, you can work with someone who has the skills while you provide the funds required to acquire business space and other requirements.
Real estate
This is the second most lucrative business in Nigeria after oil and gas. If you have enough money to invest in houses and other property, do that because such assets don’t depreciate. You can even start buying and selling small pieces of land for a start. In some low-profile areas in the country, land sells for as cheap as N50,000 per plot or less! Invest in such assets, and you’ll sell for multiples in few years to come.
Travel agency
Millions of Nigerians are nursing the dream of travelling out of the country in search of greener pastures. If you have some expert knowledge of how to easily secure visa to certain countries, then you can make money from that knowledge by helping people secure their visas. If you don’t have this knowledge but are still interested in the business, enroll for some formal training to become a certified international travel agent.
Poultry farming
It’s a no brainer, but this business is hot. Though it has its own share of risk, there’s no limit to how much profit you can make from selling eggs and fowls because they are in constantly huge demand.
Car wash
As easy as washing a car might seem, most car owners are too busy to do it themselves. Besides, not all cars can be washed anyhow. So, this is another good business opportunity for any smart person. You don’t have to be the one to wash cars yourself. Just hire someone to do that, while you pay that person out of the money you charge your clients.
Frozen foods
Buy a deep freezer and start selling frozen fish, chicken, turkey, ice cream, yoghurt, and other related edibles. The demand for these foods is high in Nigeria, so your chances of success are very bright. But you’ll need a constant supply of electricity.
Sachet water production
Though there are already many players in this business, there’s still enough room for new players, since sachet water sells like wild all over Nigeria. Getting NAFDAC approval is important if you want peace of mind.
Building materials
New buildings and structures are erected and developed in Nigeria every day. So, any business that sells the various materials used in building construction has a large market to serve. You can start small with smaller items like pipes and roofing sheets.
Supermarket
This business needs no introduction. Most Nigerians buy from supermarkets regularly. And because supermarkets sell a wide variety of products, they attract lots of customers. However, starting one requires huge capital, unless you start small with a modest inventory.
Restaurant
People eat food every day, so this business is sure to succeed provided you play your cards right. Come up with a good menu, find a perfect location, hire few more hands to help, and you’d be in business.
Fast food & snacks
Of course, you know the rate at which Nigerian eat stuffs like popcorn, plantain chips, cocoyam chips, doughnut, sausage, meat pie, and so on. That’s enough proof that selling such stuffs is a hot business in Nigeria.
Small scale export
Though this business is little-known, many Nigerians are making a lot of money from it. It involves exporting consumables such as charcoal, bitter cola, cocoa, etc. to other countries in Africa, Europe, and Asia. Yes, you’d be paid generously — in foreign currency.
Fashion design
Nigerians are fashion crazy. If you have a knack for this line of business, get started right away, and you’d be making huge profits anytime soon. You can quickly get a good grasp of how the whole business works by enrolling at any of the reputable fashion schools in Nigeria.
Make-up artistry
Make-up artistry is becoming more and more lucrative by the day. From people who are looking to make themselves beautiful for special occasions to celebrities who can’t do without make-up, the client pool is just large.
In addition, the services of make-up artists are needed in movie and music video sets, and many other instances. If you have a knack for helping people to look beautiful, enroll with a make-up school in Nigeria to polish your skills.
Filling station
This involves a big startup capital, but you can get that with a loan. You’re sure to recoup your investment within a short period because oil and gas is the hottest business in Nigeria right now.
Cement sales/distribution
Because new houses and structures are constructed in Nigeria every day, the demand for cement is huge. Take advantage of this fact by starting your own cement sales or distributorship business. Just get a safe place to store up your cement, and you’re in business.
Mini importation
This is importation business on a small scale. You’ll simply order cheap products like Powerbanks and make-up kits from China or U.S., and sell them for lucrative prices here in Nigeria. No company registration or other protocol is required.
Fish farming
Despite that there are many Nigerians already in this business, the demand for fish in the country is still far more than the supply. So, there is still enough room for new players in this very lucrative business. Note that you’ll have to spend some time to learn about the business before taking a plunge.
Grocery store
If there’s any business that can never fail in this Nigeria, it has to be grocery retail. Find a good shop near you and start something like a mini-ShopRite. Start small, and with good management the business will grow with time. There’s demand for grocery everywhere and every time, so go for this business option if you can.
Boutique (mobile)
No matter what the state of the economy is, people will still buy new clothes. So, starting a boutique is a smart idea. You can make your own boutique business stand out by offering home and office promotion and delivery. That is, rather than wait for customers to locate your shop, go to their homes and offices with what they’re likely to be interested in. With this strategy, you’ll make more sales and grow your business quickly.
Smartphone/tablet repair
Almost every Nigerian adult has a not just a phone but a smartphone. Tablets are also very common in the country. It goes without saying that these gadgets are prone to faults like broken screens, damaged charging ports, and so on.
So, if you’re the tech type and a fast learner, you can learn how to fix damaged phones and tabs within a few months and start making money from your knowledge right away.
Jewelries
Even if the economy is smiling, Nigerians will buy jewelries such as earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, watches, and so on. If you have a decent startup capital, you can start a jewelry retail business. To start with, you can take your wares to people in their homes or offices. This way, you’ll get customers and grow your business faster.
Solar panels/inverters
If you’re a fast learner, you can make a lot of money selling and installing solar panels and inverters. Power supply in Nigeria is next to zero, and most Nigerians turn towards alternative sources of power. Before now, generators were the only option. But with inverters and solar panels now available, many people are favoring them over generators

The only reason why I won't dream of buying this car is that I always drive myself... Imagine oga coming out from the drivers door..

People may see iPhone as being stupid or not innovative using Samsung parts but that's the smartest way of doing business and one of the reasons our indigenous companies can't set a pace.. We are ashamed to admit our weaknesses in certain departments.. Thereby struggling to survive when your neighbor can help without breaking a sweat.. I think we most especially youths should learn from this type of partnership/initiative

Couldn't upload the original files had to reduce them.... Sorry for the mixup

Here they are

People keep saying bad things about imo state governor owelle Rochas okorocha but the celebration is yet to start but there's no more seat at heroes square and more people are still trooping in... If these pics signify hate let me be hated by all and sundry... In fact I will start answering hate speech commander..... More pictures on the thread

If you are complaining about this small gate what will you say when you see Rochas entrance....

we should give them a little credit may be they don't need prints DNA etc cause the crime is already on camera?...thats the best excuse I can draw for our "competent" Nigerian police
