Delivery Barcode

At your house delivery and at the point of collection, you have to list out series of numbers for them to find your order.
And the delivery guy is rummaging through packages, ruffling them.

But If you have a unique bar code, set on your phone as a confirmation of what you bought.
The delivery guy just need to scan the code and know if your package is in his carrier and what number and it falls under, with his packages arranged serially.
less stress, more efficiency, Your business??

Online Lost and Found

You can run a traffic assured website of a Nigerian Lost and found, It will be in the likeness of the Jiji website where people can post the misplaced items that they have found and where to get it.
It could be cached from state to state.
The use of the local police station would also be required, as you can peruse their storage and post items that people might have given up on.

And who's to say we couldn't be our brother's keeper

Business Banking/ Mortgage for Capital

Not a new idea, just not mainstream in Nigeria, But our banks need to be more than just deposit and withdrawal mediums.
They need to take charge of the Nigerian society by looking critically on how they can help improve this economy with the deposits and liabilities in their possession.

They could engage in Business custodianship. where they open a business and put an application for a person to run it, and calculating the EBITDA see if the person can make it, and offer an option to buy.

Secondly, Many Nigerians are sitting on property and are still poor, they are mostly family houses and would like capital to start up something .
Go to a bank that can request your C of O, valuate the house, and give you a certain amount as a loan on your property. if you can't pay back the land or house can be sold and the bank gives you your balance..
But if you are sure of your business idea, why not use what you have to create a startup.

Spiff20:
The Portable Television and USB powered heater, I think these innovations are in China or Japan already, it's just to find a plug there that can run the importations. It's really a great idea that would sell massively.

Couldn't we make our own? We need to learn how to think for ourselves too.

Cup Noodles

Why should we wait till we get home to eat noodles, Cup noodles which has been a mainstay in Asia and other part of the world should be introduced here with seasonings on the go.
flavours like
noodle and beans
noodles with green peas, scallions
scent leaf, minced beef.
All you need is add hot water, and eat after counting to 60
that's breakfast and dinner on the go

State Mission

Every state should have a mission house in every other state in Nigeria, something like an embassy or a High Commission.
Just a Bungalow or a Duplex headed by a Permanent Secretary which would be responsible for thier individual state's
Students bursary
Students scholarship
Traveling and Protection
Local government certificate/Marriage etc
Courier service of important documents
Attorney and Legal assistance
Welfare of their state corp members
Custodians and safety of their indigenes.

Meet a state government on how to set one up.

Portable USB powered heater
Civil servants either in offices or schools find themselves in need of a hot beverage in the morning having to make do with the office kettle which isn't always clean
but with a portable heater in your bag, All you need is a mug, and your powebank.

It's a ready to go.

A sure win and wrest of power will come from an Atiku/Amaechi ticket.
Atiku should do a four year term and hand over power to Amaechi, who should continue for probably an 8 year term.

Nigerians need a break, someone who can really give them an ease from their suffering, Someone who understand macro politics.
Allow food be, focus on the system. our suffering is just too much.

Peter Obi is hoisted by his petard he carry his name around but his name is a lone flag, with no structure and that balloon is quietly running out of air.

You need structure a man who is a behemoth someone who can really first meliorate Nigerians ease their suffering, then an Ameachi behind to really get things going and forge out a path for the future.

Dentures

People loose tooth from accident, injuries or just naturally, and find a hard time replacing them with artificials
Our grandparents still want to chew something and have a smile when they're photographed
That's your job, providing that lost tooth or teeth,
that lost smile

Bus Stereo and Radio

Buy fairly used car radios and stereos with the modern counterpart, meet drivers in parks install and If you can add music on a memory card, it will be nice.
It's not a lucrative considering they spend the bulk of their days in the cars. installing a good sound and Soundsystem is a way of making something.

Papamrs:
Do you mean partnering with international NGO? Or opening an NGO ?Please elaborate

You just need to create an office space, send a mail or representative, requesting their accreditation and vet.
Once that is done, they will recognize you as their official partner and member in Nigeria, making you eligible for funding and support

Importing lens/ ophthalmics

Cheaper from China, import lenses of different diopters, edgers and focimeters and the hospitals and opticians would flood you with money.

International NGOs

There is the tremendous opportunity in Registering with and getting Support from International Non governmental organizations
Your dignity is your shield and life blood in creating this kind of enterprise

You'll need an office space and a small membership at the outset, an official website and you will notice that We don't have a Nigerian officially recognized center for

Green peace International
Amnesty International
Sea Shepherd
PETA
HRA
Awareness on Climate change
etc

Create and maintain a working center and you should get the funding that would continue this very purpose driven organizations.

A Film Festival

And there are lot of theatres when you think about it. Looking back now, I would have used any of the Lecture Theatres in the Universities and Polytechnics from Friday Nights till Sunday to shoot selected movies for the movie festival

Using a projector and a
cast screen
with a ticket fee of 500 naira. A lot of students would be interested in the after use of their lecture halls.
and it's money that's also fun.

Submissions and reviews also allowed.

With the result of the latest Bric summit and us insistence on adding more traffic on Brics country, NEWSFLASH : The Dollar is not doing so well, start dumping your dollars now
buy land with that money farm whatever
new world order is here the era of a singular world currency's is upon us

Lime/Lemon juice

The potential for lime and lemon have not been fully utilized in this country and what can you do?
in Plateau a bowl of Indian lemon/ normal lemon sell for 700 naira.
The high altitude means citrus fruits do wonderfully well in the Plateau
Lime gets wasted in the market a lot, due to its high acidity.

A natural lime juice and lemon juice serve as the cure for fatigue and muscle spasticity
in, A good business If we can invest truthfully in it.

something like this.

Direction Board

Be the first to take the plan and make business of creating a direction board in every city bus stop.
The direction board contains the map of a certain community in that bus stop, listing all the streets in that community and how to get where.

it's serves as guide for visitors, for school children when they get lost, and saves the dispatch rider valuable time, better plans the community.

Portable Television

Mostly now, people open their shops and place of business even on Sunday, The phone might try but it isn't within every one's financial range right now, and there's still that need for local tv and news.

Importing a portable television that sells for 20k could find patronage compared to the cheapest phone that sells for 80k

Your average shop owners deserve some company.

Considering that the bulk of sculpture work involves cement and iron it becomes a Small price to pay to beautify every roundabout, open space
Doing this attracts attention from the state government and income in the long run.

DRIED FRUIT/ Vegetables .

You gonna need a drier, at least one or two because Fruits, a lot of them get damaged in transit they get thrown Into gutter and bin that's the end to it.

But these fruits and vegetables could be dried and use to make supplement for our children cereals, imagine making tom Brown with some dried banana mixed in, it instantly doubles the nutrient and quality of the cereal.

Carrots could be dried added to millet for vitamin A rich cereal
cucumbers dried could be used to make cucumber oil
plantain, dried serve as a wonderful addition to our local swallow flour
pineapple and mangoes also..
nothing should be wasted, just get them from the sellers in the farmer's market, Wash cut, and dry them for sale
