Nairaland! Where do I start?

Giving back. I would like to imagine that is what I am doing right now. I mean this platform has given me a lot and it also made me lose a lot. I hired my first set of employees here, some of whom have gone on to create their own companies, some of whom I still keep in touch with, all of whom I wish well. I also had a post created about me that basically destroyed my company sometimes back, I was called all sorts by former employees I had hired on this platform but I take all of the blame, starting back then was rough and I made some many uninformed choices which I would like to believe I have learnt from. All of my good and bad decisions have basically led me here, to this point right now. And honestly, when I look back, I am glad I had this platform to start with.

I am not yet where I want to be (not even close) but I don’t want to wait till I become the person I am becoming to start giving back to this community that has helped me grow.

So starting immediately I look to investing one to ten (1-10) million naira in working ideas monthly. I am not interested in dot com ideas that don’t have the potential of generating revenue that does not mean I am not looking at investing in tech, but I am more interested in businesses that generate revenue, businesses centred on agriculture and exports are highly favourable. Businesses that do not depend on importation and instead depends on creating actual solution to basic problems are very welcome. Basically if you think your idea is brilliant then this is for you.
The monies I am investing might not be so much (obviously) but it would grow as I develop more confidence in this little experiment I am running right now. I remember a time when a fraction of this investment was all I needed to run my business, it is with this same mind-set I am sure that there might be some people here who would find this extra resource to be of great help in the advancement of their dream.
Included in the monetary support would be tech support. For ideas that need websites or mobile applications we would provide that additional support and hopefully more.

To apply send a very short summary (3 paragraphs) of your business plan / idea to my Instagram @Folorunsomuyiwa via direct message. Only send what you are comfortable revealing, but I would have to advice that it be interesting.

For those that do not have Instagram please be patient while I get an email for this purpose. This idea for what I am doing right now just came to me this evening.

One last thing before I leave. Nigeria is going through a very tough time, it is easy to point fingers and sometimes you would right in doing so, but we have to do more than that, we cannot allow the current situation in the country to weigh one down, no, you must rise above it. You as Entrepreneurs should look around at the problems facing the country and seek to make your mark, but whatever it is you choose to do, make sure it has a very high potential for good revenue, I cannot stress this enough. Think long term, but make sure the short term doesn’t hurt your pocket, put that in mind when you draw your business plans and send to me.

Cheers!

(This post was moved by the admin to the business section as I had hoped. I am unable to reply messages as this is a new account, I can only modify this text from time to time to hopefully answer your questions. For those saying this is too good to be true, well, you are right and for those willing to take a leap, you are also right to do so, I hope you understand the meaning of that. Remember, no one is being coerced to send me anything so if this post does not apply to you then leave and let those who find this useful stay)


To the last commenter @ iHart , yes I indeed am the owner of True Rebel Fashion Company and Fashion Hands. I have since gone on to own a few more. Thanks for your observation, as you may have noticed, I used my actual name for this handle and not an alias.

For those who say I am trying to steal ideas I am appalled by you. I mean are you for real?? Do you know what it means for someone to come out and decide to give their hard earned sweat and instead of encouragement they are met with foolish paranoia ?? It is people like you that are the bane of progress in this country. There is nothing one can do that would ever be good for you because deep down in your soul you do not believe you are deserving. I have more than enough ideas, I have NEVER been lacking in that department. Why derail this thread and the good people who wish to advance themselves. If this was a thread about me hiring someone to pay them N50,000 I am sure you would have nothing to say then. I employ more than 60 people in Lagos alone and that's about the least I pay. For our country to develop and for social entrepreneurship to thrive we have to expel those amongst us who would do anything to bring down the collective good. You need to understand that these people have no vision for their life and wish everyone the same. You cannot allow their voice to drown out yours!

Good one!

Baba God is about to pick some people's call.
God bless you Op.

pls provide an email sir. i wont disappoint you.

Expect an idea from me God willing.I have a blueprint for a household utensil made of stainless steel that is not manufactured anywhere in Africa not to ralk of Nigeria or West Africa.
The only one i saw last was made and sold in USA for $89.
Even with the present economic situation in Nigeria, the production cost should be less than #2,000.
I dont have instagram account.
This product is useful for everybody, young, old, rich and poor etc.

An email is easier to create than an instagram account, gmail preferably. I hope this isn't just a smart way of getting people's ideas, or some other trick especially in this recession. Sounds too good to be true since its strangers you'd be helping.

Am gonna try my luck with this

EDITED
BTW this account was registered today
I smell....

Hello OP, I have some business ideas that I will like you to look into, but I don't have an instagram acct. Email will be a better option for me.

There will always be people like you in Nigeria... It's a shame though.

May God give you the grace to complete this.

hey stop it. The guy may be right. People can use any means to still an idea.

My dad told me that when it sounds to good to be truth it may be fraud.

Do u know what it takes to initiate and research an idea? I apply for the last youwin that did not scale true but as i am talking to u now one of my proposed product is in the market booming produced by a well known nigerian company; though it may be a coincident but it is always painful

Dont u know that an idea is a gift and may take years to research. It is very espensive or do u think it is about how to put extra flavour in a sobo

So pls trust urself and never trust any one. The op may mean well but we have to be careful and have a limit of the information we can give out.

Pls and that remind me, is there anywere in nigeria somebody can reserve and idea?

maybe it might interest us to Google fashionhand, true rebel and Muyiwa folorunso. this may be fraud!

I rather die with my idea than give anyone without an MOU.

I have a business idea of starting a catfish melange business, its a business idea have been hatching for long.

The business is highly profitable which could start generating income from it fourth month.

Catfish Melange its of high demand both locally and in the international market.

It a produce that does not run out of season, but rather the demand is year round.

Though I have the landed space to use for the business but the start up capital has been a challenge

Why not put your money in the brand new,value-innovative Global Telecoms Business.I promise u wont regret it.You can never go wrong with this, I repeat,you can never go wrong with this and it is very,very real,as real as Buhari is the incumbent President of Nigeria.Anyway,for details,e-mail me at adekunleowoseni8@gmail.com for the full details,thanks.
