No country will ever take your sovereignty from you and give you back easily.
Look at what is happening in Mali because of France, look at Afghanistan.
Don't ask the US for any help. We can do it ourselves.

The worst is now behind us.. We need to chart our course towards development and creating industries. simple!

there is no longer genocide in Nigeria we are governing ourselves, we are quite living besides it.

Mud bath & spa
Make use of those old bath tubs that hardly sell in the fairly use markets and create a mud bath and spa in your garage and compound. Or rather make use of aluminum board fill it with a nice turgid ratio of red sand and water for resetting bones and removing carbon and other chemicals from the body.

Run a massage parlor and sound bath on the side

Here are some innovative ideas

Run a small chapel specifically run for praying go the dead, You just need a small altar with solar system to power electric candles and space for wax ones.
A small garden and with chairs and shade for people to have a quite time, A donation box

Asoke socks, chiffon and cotton stick singlets and boxers could be sold in schools and universities considering the materials are cheaper.

The winning Eleven competition

Palitto II
I saw that the car fm stereo just need earpiece port and battery to change to what can become handy and comfit for young secondary students
These Heater powered devices can bed designed better small with power bank batteries so children who can't afford a phone to listen to Music too

Sachet curry:
Instead of tomatoes why not sachet curry, many Nigerians haven't eaten curry with rice, since curry is stock, flour and curry it can be made into a paste and sold in sachet form.
So we have variety, if not tomato, it will likely be curry

The Perfect Radio App
I don't think the potential of radio haven't been fully realized. It is still flawed as an android app as it requires earpiece to function and don't have a scheduler

I introduce you to the Bluetooth radio
To create this radio one need to have all rhe programs on all the radio station in the state, listed so that you can pick the ones that should start the app with permission to override system functions
So while listening to Music it can switch immediately to your scheduled program on the go.

Plus there is no need for an antenna since the Bluetooth earpiece works just fine for it .
With a stronger transmitter.
The radio still remains one of the best invention there is,

Make that app and get a lot of downloads.

Kid's Radio

Idea for a radio station that uses free broadcast from children, using the Press Clubs of secondary school's. You can run a children's only radio station
Get your interview and idea from children
meet secondary school and organize the press club of the schools to organize news and talk show recorded them and upload them on your radio no need to employ any staff.
They are interested elated and get an introduction into what they would be doing in the future

Recitals
Make a business of getting a choir together and organizing recitals in event centers, Especially with this coming Christmas, you can organize a choir and charge a fee and sell refreshments.

it could be a monthly thing, As the Catholic church have a lot of Indigenous christian music that could be reworked into beautiful masterpieces especially the Benin, Delta Benue and Cross River areas

Pulp Producing Trees
There will always be a market for paper if you have land to go into the long term Investment of painting pines, fir, hemlock etc
For steady pulp extraction and the making of paper.
I think it's more valuable than planting teak.

A more long lasting investment that does the environment much good.

Powdered Masa
As the West have pancakes and syrup, Why cant we have masa and stew.
The white corn used to make masa could be dried and made into powdered form, and sold like semovita for family to make maasa for their kids breakfast.

Viewing Center That focuses on the showing of the Local football League and Start the mass production and sale of local jersey.


Flammable Emery Cloth.
I look at Emery's cloth and think of a match box,
In a bid to perfect the charcoal stove, I think its quite possible for people to make a flammable emery's cloth and sell it in a pack
Something that burns until the coal crackles. Could make a grill fire look neater, save us the stress of haunting for sachet hot nylons.

Library Inc.
Be in charge of setting up and stocking up Secondary schools library and ensure that they get a daily delivery of newspaper and weekly delivery of books
Meet the school on why it's important to turn a class room into their school library, why should be made to read The Classics: Dickens, Orwell, Shakespeare,
Stock and replace them when they are through.

okpa
ekuru
plantain moi moi (ukpo ogede)
Rice pudding
Eko
Make them and freeze them, get a microwave and sell it as a ready to go

Waste Farming
Run a turkey farm with absolute nothing
You can see the way Nigerians waste rice especially the burnt part off the pot, vegetables fill up the bin with nothing to do such good waste
Well the turkey is the pig of the birds, It eats everything.
You can start and run a turkey farm with virtually nothing just get one or two restaurant s and scrap the rice, collect waste from northerners that sell fruits, vegetables like carrot shaving, watermelon, banana and pineapple and water leaves, anything, just get a big pan to pour them in, watch them go to work and in December you should see how it pays you

Raising pigs on a landfill, Take them to community dustbin and leave it for them

Try this:

Have you tried eating garden egg and okra soup, Mashing and blending a mix of garden eggs and okra to make a thick vegetable soup with ugwu and fish
It is quite interesting.
Especially if you add the i locust beans, dawa or (ogiri) crayfish and a paste of grounded groundnut as your seasoning.

The Olympic Torch

I keep thinking of ways to make the Charcoal stove perfect but the initial burning and getting the coal to crackle and burn seems like it's disabantage.
So I thinking of using the idea for the Olympics torch to make a flame we can put underneath the stove that burns the coal without stress.
You will need a tin ( maybe a milk tin)
You will need to add and mix sharp sand with diesel.
Then you can just set fire to it and place it under the pot.
The fire will never give out.
No more stress of fanning blowing and using all sort of nylon and paper to get it to burn.

when you are done, simply remove your tin and put a lid on it to snuff out the oxygen to be used again the next time.

Selling Parboiled Cassava
Cyanide is the only thing limiting Nigerians from really tapping into the potential of this widely cultivated root tuber
If only there was a way of pre boiling cassava in heavy heat and selling it to people who can them home to finish it up.

Cassava could really help the dire situation in this country without all the processing involved in turning it to fufu.
It can go well with fried eggs, palm oil and onion sauce, stew, soup, and it is quite filling.

The Northerners shouldn't be the only ones enjoying this tuber

The Eba Souffle
This name sound cushy but it's a hard wrought idea of a poor man's eba.
where a boiling hot water with red garri meets
salt
ground crayfish
grounded fresh pepper
locust beans
red oil mashed together with the eba to make a souffle when you can't afford to make soup.

You can add dried fish and diced onions.

The Tutti Fruiti and Coconut Rice Flakes

Here's another interesting to add to your menu as a fast food.
You take a dice of a bunch of fruits, banana, mango, oranges, pineapple et.c blend it and add ice.
While serving a rice flakes made from oven baked rice flour and ground coconut.

Way to spice up the Nigerian fast food

An Agricultural Investment
You can usurp the state and local government by engaging your local community with an Agricultural Investment.
Many of these villagers are just sitting labour with nothing to do.

So why not invest in the excess time at their disposal.
By involving them in a shared profit agriculture.

You give each households 15 layers at 14weeks.
Give them a bag of feed for a month
They will give you 10 eggs and keep 5 for their sustenance.
Get a register and take note of defaulting household. But instead of doing all the work of poultry yourself, You can involve this sitting workforce and collect eggs daily while you drive past them.
With time you can take the old layers in a ratio and involve them in fishing, snail rearing and vegetables farming
But start with poultry

The Irish Milk Bun
Get some Irish potatoes and blend them raw in a blender, get the puree, add some milk, some nutmeg powder, cummin, basil/rosemary

Importing of Dates and Zobo from Niger Republic: This requires converting Naira to CFan but there is always a ready market.


The Importing of Spices and Dried Pepper from India
Cheaper in tonnes and by sea

Strikes
The solution would have to be Administrative Outsourcing
There are young and vibrant masters and doctorates holders looking for a lecturers position
While the government cannot sack the entire union it can have a standby replacement staff employ under a consult that ensure that the school doesn't shutdown completely due to the strike z Since the government owns the lecture halls, these let's call them adhoc lecturer can continue teaching the students while the union is on strike
leaving just the master's students

Intellectual curiosity shouldn't be the concern of the government.education is expensive, electricity bills and and other cost of running the university doesn't seem viable in the long run
Government can engender an administrative outsourcing make sure that the universities are privately managed Which should translate to cheaper salaries and mooc classes that turn those university as a source of revenue instead of liabilities

As a remedy, create a library in every local government areas for general literacy, With high level of unemployment
government need to channel.her energy and.reaources to industry and wealth creation the university degree is already too meaningless to be threatened constantly by he fossils of a failed system

That should end further strikes
