Lessons From Prison
I am thinking of short program dedicated to playing recorded voice notes of prisoners who tell us about their experience, how they got there, why we should control our anger, greed, etc, what they have gone through and why we should eschew a life of crime.

Weekly- 30 minutes.

24 Hr Bar
Insomnia is the disease of comfort, Since the life of the average Nigerian became somewhat more comfortable, the toil that assure deep sleep is gone.
We drive to work, sit down in air conditioned offices and come back to sumptuous dinner.
The lack of exertion sometimes make sleep difficult.
If only there was a bar open 24 /7 where we could just go in the middle of the night, somewhere with nice music playing
I could just order a bottle of wine, and relax, call up a friend at work and have some chat .

What if, You could open a bar that runs 24/7
Not a hotel, just a bar/breakfast.

Cochlea Implant
Bring joy, hope and possibly a cure for our hearing impaired in society As you can be the first person to import cochlea implants and learn how to configure it to a phone microphone, just a small button phone the person can put in a breast pocket and this might finally be a solution for the hearing impaired.

Local Necessity Businesses
There is a business in targeting tomato and pepper waste, damaged in transit or by time, they could be collected, ground, boiled into a paste to be sold for those who would use them to cook

It can be boiled in it's sachet form with oil, so no need to freeze or better preserved in mason jar
there it can stay up to a year
get some nylon gloves, get two

Small cement mortar
You know the wooden time usually break, mostly from moisture and use, but if we could use the wooden design to make a cement and concrete base form of kitchen mortal, it would really sell well and perfect for grounding crayfish and pepper mix

Converting Moribund Plaza to office complexes
Some Plazas are just well located to be business hub, they are somewhat hidden, and might not generate some income. Why not convert them into office complex, Join two shops and attach a toilet inside and turn it into an office complex.

We could make our own local cigarettes and hand made tobacco, If we are serious, we sell Jedi and other forms of tobacco in nylon, the molder for cigarettes is not expensive, instead of importing, We can create our own local brand. Cigarettes is a billion naira industry.

Suicideboy:
Youtube should work for this

They might sue, image rights and all. You don't have the right to take any ones video without their permission and I'm guessing you mean to video them.
But if simply as recorded audio,You could just get a podcast or a Audio mack channel.
YouTube is heavy on data, If your focus is on audio as it should be. There are other channels.

Telegram seems the logical choice.

A Salad Shop
We might not really have a salad culture, but it could be cultivated, with a fridge, Take away plastic and choppers, you could start a strictly salad only shop.

Cabbage, Cucumber, carrot - ( C3 )
Beet, Cauliflower, green peas (BCG)
Kidney beans, Green beans, Irish potato (KGI)

for as low as 200 to 500 naira

With the different dressings in either sachet form. either mayonnaise or balsamic vinegar
You could also sell avocados on the side

Since we eat too much starch, workers might take home your salad as dinner and cultivate a healthy life.
Give extra on a weekly return of the plastic

The Pugilist
Why would anyone name a dish the pugilist, Well because it packs a punch.
Here's a business of a dish that can be sold in restaurants..
Diced little bits of roasted
plantain
cocoyam
potatoes
yam
to be sauteed in a stirred fried mix of
ponmo
fish
innards
peppered stew and vegetables (ugwu and utazi)

The cocoyam and plantain will make the food last longer in your stomachs, plus it could be sold with beans.

Be a innovative bricklayer and make a business of using cast and Crushed Slates could be for
fencing the house and as a sewer cover
Using some sand, and cement it could act concrete, You could get crushed slates for almost free


Locally Sewn children clothes
like the Kente being sold in the market, You could make simple children shirts and gowns from cheap materials (Teru, adire, plain material )to be sold around 5- 1k, to disabuse parents from buying second hand clothes for their children.
Spiritually it's wrong to wear what has been worn by another man, plus they last longer.

Retro games/Retro Devices
Run a vintage electronic device selling some of these old devices.
For now they are cheap even discarded in Alaba and others
from the
Game boy, Brick game, Psp to other devices like the
walkman
IPOd
portable cassette player
Android phones are too expensive, We could still have some of these for children since we can't all want them using phones so early

How to Live The Cheapest Life

No matter how hard the country gets, I keep thinking of ways to make it livable for the you and me, ordinary who must find a way to live besides it, who just want to live a simple life with our families

Here's how you could live a cheap life off saving 500 naira daily.
Get a piggy bank and keep 500 inside to be opened at the end of every month..

200 become 6k for buying a material of 4k (4yrds of Teru or plain material) for 2 shirts as a guy or 2 simple gown as a lady.

200 becomes 6k for buying a painter of beans to be ground and used for eating moi moi every day ( I believe moi moi and ugwu should be Nigerian staple diet, its nutritional benefits are immense)

100 becomes 3k for paying your electricity bills.

ceteris paribus you should live a simple life by doing night plan downloading movies on telegram channels, books that you will read and watch in your shop everyday, learning while literally minding your own business...

That is the cheapest free, the cheapest happy, to living besides Nigeria.

The Summit Ale
The ad would go something like (a very thick voice)
Have you heard about the very cold summit, where we have ale that is made from corn and millet, Have you a summit pure corn and ginger ale made from real corn and processed to perfection to make the finest brew
Summit Ale... simply the best.
(rewind)

I'm m talking about Jos burukutu, Yes that pure sleep assured cold burukutu that goes well with dog meat. Do you know that it could be bottled, added the slightest preservative and sold across Nigeria, it could be a brewing company
Your brewing company

to me and you it's Burukutu
to the world its.... Summit Ale ... ahh. You got it

Exhaust design
To buttress the idea of a battery powered/solar stove. This could revolutionize cooking and our energy consumption.
Now the exhaust pipe is tbr the hottest part of the motorcycle, now how can that be converted into a stove.
what makes the exhaust hot? the piston
So it is quite possible to make a small battery powered piston connected to a flattened exhaust pipe with side holes for the first solar powered stove and iron and it could be solar charged, battery powered.
there would be no pollution as the fluid powering the piston could be even be water instead of fuel
so with the battery the pistons pumps up steam that is contained in an aluminum or exhaust type panel that create tiny pockets of holes for the stream to pass out while it acts as a stove cooking our food, or better still a channel could be created for the heat to be passed out
Depends on the kind and size of the piston you put something small and portable shouldn't pose any danger.
And if your design is something good you have a wonderful business on your hands

Battery Powered Kiosk
I saw the post on the portable kiosk and I felt the only thing missing is to get solar and a battery to make it completely battery powered

I think we have a battery powered Sharwarma kiosk, where the stove could be designed electric saving money on gas and ensuring a cleaner enterprise.

The Kitchen Upgrade

A lot of our imported goods especially the flea market are in gas cookers, pots and kitchen utensils.
Create a credit facilitation of the kitchen Utensils for civil servants, to really get those goods out the store.
Meet the teachers that you have a kitchen upgrade promo going on where you get
gas cooker
cylinder
pots and
blender
for a starting price of 20k while you pay an installment of 10k every month for a year.
people would go for that.

Audit
Unlike the commission, You don't need lawyers to track in realtime the expeditions of a State government or corporations, You could sell your findings to a commission or to the audit department of a company
Plus you could be hired to audit a company, calculate their EBITDA and see they are having lapses
It's good business, it's KPMGs, could be yours too.

Nigerian Made Pringles

Ground
cocoyam, Rice and millet

Assets Management company

To protect one's family from certain vultures are tying to take over your family assets Ensuring that your children are free. Or protecting your assets from wayward children that one to sell the property

Ballet and so on..

One two, one two, and turn..

Solar Reading Lamp
I met a guy that imported a lot of these reading lamp from the UK, the only problem being that none of them are solar
They are beautiful and quite ideal for reading but they require the use of electricity.
If only You could purchase them, and attach a battery and a solar panel, You could sell them if only You can make them Nigerian

Biodegradable Noodles Nylons
The drainages are filled with noodles nylon, they are singular use, so why couldn't they be designed biodegradable, The North.. oh don't get me started on the North and the entire region is carpeted by noodles wrapper.

If you designed a typical that the company could buy into, After 2 months of exposure it should start it's decay.

A Commission
A group of bored lawyers and economist have the entire public records at their finger tips they can form a commission to inquire into every form of government budgetary and expenditure They make it their business to inquire, check on the finances and sue

Adoption
This comes at the realization that in the next twenty years we will have a lot of single and un-married old men and women in the country, Who will need some form of company for their old age, Eager to be not only a single mother but single father also.
You can run an adoption agency for people who are from,15, 18 and upwards who deliberately chose to be adopted to be of an accompaniment of people in their old age.
They go into agreement and choose to leave the family if they don't want, It's hard getting adoption for children, and harder to raise kid in old age, but not more harder than constantly employing a maid and just when you start to trust, they take them away.

An 18 years old person is a kid, but also an adult and many youngsters are in need families that can take care of them, sponsor their education just as there are many age people living alone or old couples in need of some care and attention in old age.
An adoption between two legal adult is possible, and you can make that happen.

ESMS Audio
This is a website that sells music for people who want to own their music in their hard drives and nor have to listen online,
it operate with such simplicity that resembles the noise trade websites.
Write the album you want, pay the price via remita, fill the dialog box and you should get it in your mail or a 48 hrs sendspace link will be sent to you..
