Thinking like an OG
Most people would rather spend money to study servitude profession like Doctors and nursing when they should be like a boss.
Why not study Public Health, do a Masters in it and proceed to open your own hospital at least primary health center in a village or community employ nurses s and have a Doctor on shift, You get to offer healthcare and offer sensitization on public health, and turn it into an NGO for better funding.

A Local Skin Cleanser
Is autarky possible in Nigeria? Yes very possible, Benue alone could feed the entire Africa, We could mine and harness our resources properly..
I believe in the locally sourced, the sustainable and I think we could make a beauty cream and skin spot remover from the mixture of
coconut oil
she's butter.
aloe vera
caustic soda
vinegar

One part breaks open and exfoliate the other
blends and smoothens.

Mobile Spa
Convert a Suzuki every Carry to a small mobile
Spa targeting Universities and Polytechnic, Just imagine parking infront of The Unilag girls hostels and offer a cheaper rate for manicure, pedicure and the rest
It's a mountain going ahead to meet Mohammed. Could literally drive and boost sales

Locally Designed Alternator and Battery
I think we might have a locally designed alternator and battery for bicycles,
there's a man who has a tape wrapped n alternator and battery design for his small white bicycle, cycling the AIT road axis.
I wish he perfect the design by making a plastic cover and could take his design to Jos where the bicycle is the most common form of transportation.
It's a huge market as it will open the bicycle riding for our ladies, given the reduced stress.

Local Newsletter

You can start covering local news in your community, village, university, polytechnic for as low as 50 naira per A3 paper of well structured news design or make it a religious news letter in the mosque or church area,
And it might start getting attention and could go big, provided you have an online alternative on a blog somewhere.

Continuing NYSC
As a form of employment I think the Youth services Corp can be tasked with a second corp.
For some who will like to continue with a NySc and build a life in their PPA after the one year.

The Nigerian agricultural corp should be implemented as a way for ex corp members or simply unemployed Nigerians to work in state organized farms to earn a living while providing food for the country.
For some the best time was NySc and there's no stopping us from reliving that experience. It also offers people who are tired of the office, city life to try their hands on something new.
I think every state must map and fenced out 10 hectares of land for farming and this Agricultural corps

Locally Made Wine from Grape
Jos
Gembu
lekitaba and
gashaka are cold regions where grapes grow naturally, a farm could be cultivated for it's mass production of locally made wine and also
palm wine can be sold in bottle form.

Fibre mix
For people struggling with weight, A fibre powder can be made from grounded tigernut which can be used in the drinking of pap or
added into the making of our swallows. by blending tiger nut and dried cocoyam for people struggling with type 2 diabetes.

Locally Made White Wine
We are all capable of learning the simple art of fermenting over cooked rice like the Japanese and turning into wine, Rice Wine.
I also believe we can also farm and distill guavas into sour and extra sour using net to sieve the draughts off pits and ferment and sell in this wine in an equally big sake bottle as Guava Wine


Boiled Water
Sound stupid, but in close proximity to schools and corporation is a very neat and simple business of boiling tea water for civil servants for tea etc. You could also keep a seperate pot of water mixed in with dried ginger and turmeric

You can get airports too, if you can afford this very clean business.


School of Arts and Industry
At the atrophy of the moribund and clerkish system of education comes a new kind of thinking schools and a higher education differently,
Focused on running the cheapest school.
one can create a school of Art and industry ion each state them the art
Sculpture
painting
drawing
Sewing
Designs Interior and Outdoor
Architecture
Ergonomics
with a morning and evening session it doesn't need so much space it can be run on two duplexes or a revamped old hotel.
Get certified by NBTE and get that show going.

Forest Biking competition
In a peaceful country, this could be the big potential of the Sambisa forest. But safer forests still exist in Ondo, Ogun State and Plateau and they are also very sloppy and downhill.
All you need is a small team of guys with a truck, some implement and surveyor to create a safe
path in the forest for these bikers, it could either as a race or a fastest time downhill competition.

We have a lot of vibrant youths,
This would bring sponsorship from bicycle companies, Redbull, and could have an entire franchise.

Glass/Bottle Making company
You should create a bottle company to really remove the Nigerian plastic kitchen culture, we need to learn the art and importance of storing our spices and herbs in mason jars
Big bottles for local wine, glass bowls for making pastry and Glass cups for tea and coffee
Understand the alchemy, get the machine and you will never run out of business.

The Calendar
Now in the phone and mostly ignored, but the calendar will never not be a part of the Nigerian homes, Apart from companies like Mouka, Apple hair products and other companies that use them as end of the year gift and advert.
There are no or let me say few printing companies that make generic calendar for sale.
You can even be innovative and add some throw in some astrology in the mix
The walls of every Nigerian home should have your own calendar.
It's a yearly business

Telebanking
Be a company that helps bank process 90 percent of their customers hassle either via mail, phone or webcam. It is outsourcing using undergraduates or young secondary school leavers.
The old don't have to wait to queue a zoom meeting can solve so much if the bank outsource all that to you,
It can not only work for banking but bills tax and other bureaucratic processes.

Factory Resvo Card
Restaurants are really having it the hardest, in this harsh economy and need to be innovative, Get a company's HR to sign off on what might be called the Company's Reservation Card that ensures a paid for meal by the company.
Either Pizza, Burger King, or Plate of Rice.
If company can run a HMO on health, why not a HMO on food and welfare.

(The truth is few workers fall seriously ill in a year, but they eat everyday)

Every worker should be allowed to take the family out on a date to your restaurant paid for by the company.
Involve more than one companies and this should drive an assured weekly flow of customers to your restaurant and improve business.

Ussd Electricity Payment
since the sim is linked to the bank account, There's no reason why our Discos shouldn't have a special code for the payment, something simple and effective that allows us to buy electricity even without data from our phone

Solar Air conditioner
Air conditioner are now becoming quite moribund due to the price of electricity. But there is a business in helping people convert their air-condition to solar. Ensuring that the appliance is still in use in homes and offices.

Lace Jackets
This is for our tailors, We can make a type of lace jacket that can be worn over native and English wear. this and other net material can be sold as a very fitting and light jacket over shirt and native tops and gowns.

Swivelled Fuselage
Here's an idea of I thought of in the design of a plane, The body of a plane should have two layers the first layer then inside a swivel should be plane at the nose, body and tail to act as cushions to cushion the effect of a turbulence during flight. this swivel protects the passenger in the vehicle providing a tight fit undulation when there's a turbulence in air travel.

Breeze Block Crocs
When one thinks of the design of the footwear, and how to make it last longer, or have a better harder sole, especially for us here I would think we should have a chemical mixture of the normal rubber but this time making soles from breeze blocks or mixing the entire design and material together in the first place.
We need a serious company to really look into footwear for us here in Africa even if it's rubber could it be mixed with leather, and have a better and sturdier design.

Food Connect/ The Konkoshun
Here's a funny thing I thought of Since people could be innovative to Create the share taxi app
I thought why not have an app for shared cooking

since the condition of the country is so terrible
how about Nigerian create an app or at least a WhatsApp group of joint cooking in a particular community
where people/friends can l list what they have
I have beans (1 derica)
I have rice ( 2 cup)
I have gas
I have location
and do a joint cooking using that to survive the county and some social bonds from cooking together, making their meals cheaper, fun and a looking forward to.

A Place of Pilgrimage or Holy ground.
the Christian holy ground is in Jerusalem, but some people have designated certain mountains as site of Pilgrimage.
There could be more Holy grounds as there are not many for Muslims, Buddhists, Hindu, Sufi and other religion.
You just to create a stupa, some statues on a acre with a hall for sleep and toilet.

Get holy men to concentrate the site with prayers and relics and you have a source of income in a village/town for life.

Cat Feed
A lot of homes are now seeing the importance of owning a cat, Be ahead of the rest in making a business off sourcing for and making cat feed off Cut pieces of fish from the cold room
Innards from the abbatoir
broken noodles
Cut pieces of meat from cow bones
maybe a little catnip or dried scent leaf for scent
To be mashed together, baked, pelleted and packaged for sale.

Boiled Cassava
I like the way the Northerners makes boiled cassava which does wonders for one's prostate.
I wish there was a restaurant that sold it as constantly either pepper soup or at least buying the bulk from them.
Boiled cassava might go on to replace the cost of eating yams. The only problem being boiling it properly to avoid cyanide poisoning.
Instead of fufu
We can sell boiled cassava with different soup with meat marrow and utazi leaves

Asoke Sweater And Jackets
Asoke could make wonderful Waistcoats and jackets and we can make our clothes finer by attaching it to our material when sewing.
As waistcoat it gives us the Nigerian version of the Indian dressing of waistcoat over white native dress


Body part Donation
Sadly there's is a business in the quick removal of the human organ of accident victims or victims of massacres, It involves having a till free number that allows you to be first on the scene to get the families to sign off on the use of thne victim body part to help those in critical need awaiting donors in the hospital..
blood
the eyes
kidney and heart don't decay or stop functioning immediately.

The Meme Factory
strictly images website, videos often turn to propaganda and like 9gag, You could run a website that stores memes with an image scanner to the uploader so no two memes are alike you have a site, traffic assured.

Local Parfait
Adding Locally Made Parfait To your Sharwarma stand. With a blender and designed cup, you can begin your own style of parfait by blending
banana
oat
milk
date
oil
groundnut and to make yours unique
add a little ginger.

Nylon lens, Plastic temple
Here's an idea to make our eye glasses weightless and affordable.
Our normal lens are made from resin, which is plastic.
I thought of an idea to make lens from the nylon material, nylon is as clear as glass but you don't run the risk of wearing glass and it is lighter than plastic, There would be no need for edging or glazing As the edge could be folded a bit thicker and made rimless with a thin and hard plastic temples
comes in either rectangular or round shape.

These weightless glasses and could be made in rather large quantity and cheap for indigent communities.

Temporal Possession of Empty Buildings

There are some buildings that are left empty, either in legal dispute or a financial inability for the owner to renovate.
The state government can take a temporal possession of empty buildings and lots to make them library and parks.
This prevents hoodlum and thieves from utilizing it for nefarious purpose and can provide employment in using them as temporal library,
training center or park for children.

A Community College

With just 2-3 million naira you can start a community college in every state in Nigeria.
You just a library and an administrative office opened 24/7
Since every one has a phone now,
Students can just come to your admin office and download the pdf and documentaries or Online Course of instructor
Then You create an online exam using Google forms.

Tuition is free,
Student only pay for functioning which is the subscription fee for downloading of the media that instructs them at 1k per week
which is 52k per year.

They have access to the library of they want to read, but they can't just take the file and go to their work or place of business

You could create a small park for relaxation and sell some things in the store. There is no age limit, no need for waec or jamb, it could be in Nigeria, No The entire Africa.

Bringing Back the old Palito

We should be thinking of ways to bring back and reinvent the old Palito radio
Today's children have nothin to enjoy in this world none of them will ever know the joy of drink locomalt, or eating the original gala or goody goody.
When they return from school, I wish some of them had some form of pocket media or radio
something small and portable to
realistically none of them should be able to afford an Android phone whose cheapest goes for a 100 thousand bit with saving some should buy a small
Media player that uses the power bank battery and a memory cards
designed like the palito radio of old . Something to listen to while waking home fom school.

It's their right as teens to enjoy some music medium. And you can make that happen.

Selling of Novels/ Books in Bulk
Meet People who run the Flea market and people who import goods from abroad and you can buy their novels in bulk and sell it at a cheaper rate for students, and adults alike
You could run it like a Film Book store, a little Amazon of books and films.

Satelite Tv App
I really don't know why Cable television enthusiast aren't trying to make innovations that allow people watch sport channels on their phones.
Take for instance the embattled Test were to launch their enterprise as an android app, they will be far better and ahead of the game.

All that is required is for them to launch a satelite l, then create the app that uses wifi to connect to the satelite app
and taking an exam from the kodi app. Download plugins that turn into television channel. Which you can have access to by simply paying via the USSd code.
connect using satellite, No need for buffering or internet throttling.
You could also reroute to the closest dish around you and watch your favourite team play when
The phone becomes the decoder and television.

Plantain Chips
It's Plantain season, and as a full time business or side hustle, Plantain chips is a good business that a person could go into
What's a key ingredient?
Ginger

Fry the plantain with ginger in the oil
and make a mix of
sweetener
ginger
suya pepper
food mix inside a bottle which you can add to the plantain before fying
Then you make your packaging with nylon
and label

Peanut Butter
I don't know why Nigeria don't invest in the making of Peanut butter when it is simply crushed and grounded groundnut, which we could obtain from the north Where it is use to make kuli kuli.
There is an industry waiting to be found in making our own local Peanut butter and add other flavours like crayfish and ginger to really spice it up
Be innovative and create a sachet form

Psiyohos:
KELP & SEAWEED

You find at the Third mainland bridge that people are already using the ocean to rear fish in large scale.
But they could do one better and plant kelp and sea weed.

It can be dried and exported, there is an Asian market for it and you can also sell it here also.
Noodles companies could add dried kelp with their seasonings like Uno noodles used to do.

It's very nutritious

Impressive.

The Percussion
Yes, I talking about a show, fair and festival dedicated to the display, sale, and playing of the
talking drum.
Makers from all over the country come to show thierd craft and a competition of best played talking drum is done.
over instrumentals of sekere and conga.
Different contestant and Ara and other drumming greats like to be made judge.

It should be form of percussionist Mecca celebrating music of that form especially Ayinla Omowura and the likes..
