A Museum, A Commune, A Kingdom
Do you have a big house, and don't know what to do with it, You can make money easily by turning it into a museum, Look for and Hang artworks, sculptures and create a cafe where music is played and set up a small eatary there.

Now do you like people,can you accommodate and afford to cook maybe once a day, You could run a commune, and maybe even source for donations among like minds, Some people enjoy life better with others. Joint cooking, joint living, sports, like the Kalakuta Republic.

If you are successful it becomes your kingdom,
give yourself one title and that's all, you are automatically a king like that o.
Emir of Gwandu no do pass this one

Poetry stool
In the old days, Poets were given a chair when they win competitions, It symbolizes the person as an elder, one who people are to sit near and listen to.
I see a carpenter who can really do major carving with African symbols and engravings to make a form of stool from a tree trunk as award to be presented in a poetry event..
I see him making it his business, refining and honing his craft, I see him being called as a contact nationwide as it has become widely used to symbolize penmanship in the art of poetry.

Dispenser Bottle Water with a Tap
The Cway 18.9 L dispenser bottle water is flawed because it only works with a dispenser.
But how many offices can afford to buy a dispenser.
What is a dispenser if not a fancy tap.
Why not structure a tap to your bottled water for offices that use solar and don't have any interest in buying a dispenser.

Just attach a portable small plastic tap and have a variation of the big bottled water, all I have to do is put it on the table, fetch and that's all

They should find an increase in sales, You could start it too.

Make Business off an Awareness

World Autism day
World sickle cell day
Clean Drinking Water Day
Sustainable Technology Day
World Poetry Day
Local Industry Day.
International Day for the Blind
Plant a Tree Day
International Day for the Boy Child

Anything you are passionate about you could make a day for, a rallying, awareness and later comes support.

Carbonated/Soda Water
With simple ingredients like citric acid and caustic soda, a black/purple bottle cover and your pure water company could sell soda water or carbonated water.

I have my own idea of adding Apple Cider Vinegar, call it ACV water

Works wonders for flatulence

It's nice, an innovative

Clay Cast Wobs
Following the much extolled Tiv clay homes of sustainability, With the cost of building materials, we need to revert to the old ways of doing things, if we are ever going to survive.

Instead of buying all those blocks, cement and stress.

Is it possible to have a carpenter cast of a room self,
Buy clay sand (filling)
Get the iron concrete mixer
Pour it inside it with two bags of cement and some gravel to make
A small house for a small family..
The roof could also be made of the same decking this time reinforced with concrete

Could this caste be modeled and used to make sure people own their own houses.

The clay and cement mixture means the house will never get damaged, will be sound proof , requiring only painting and it's ready to go.


If people can buy into this idea the total cost of building might not exceed 200 thousand.
And it's a sustainable.

Charcoal stove with Iron Wicks
I love the charcoal stove, I like that it is partly sustainable, The problem remains the burning, the kindling that crackles the coal
NOW

According to my initial design, If there was a war to make along the line of the iron bold, holes with iron wicks, that collects some amount of kerosene that burns the coal.
All you need is light the wicks like the old kerosene lantern and put the coal on top of it.
By the time you are done, the kerosene have been exhausted and the coal can now burn on its own.

I still think the charcoal stove will be the best stove going forward, the initial burning stage just have to be reworked and remodeled and it's possible.


Could those guys in Terminus, Jos do it?
Could it exported?

CAN Approved
Schools aren't schools until they are government approved, Hospitals arent so until they are Hefama approved.
The only business without any form of regulation is the church, and with the wanton spread of the call by the spirit, any man can convert two shop to a church and make ridiculous sum off of people.
CAN needs to stand up and be a regulatory body, it is their business to inquire about the pastorship of thee individual, his certificate of theology, his other source of income and if the preaching tallies with the faith.
It will be a check and can begin an effective remuneration by churches as they should.

Fish Feed

Catfish is one resilient animal to farm but the drawback is the price of the feed
Here's my feed formula for locally made fish pellets. Like they do for chicken feed in jos

Grind
dried potatoes peels
beans
roasted bone meal
for buoyancy mix the ground feed with blood and oil, maybe a little amonium


We can also farm and market dried maggot

Debt Portfolio Marketing

One of the ways of pushing FMCGs is through credit, making a debt profile for your customers and new
You can disburse your goods according in rank of deliquency ordinance
Take for instance: You sell noodles
You have a customer that you deliver credit of
2 million
7 million
9 million ...

With a stipulated date of payback, once there is a default in payment, you drop their rankling to a lower ranks.
Customer of 9 million could drop to 2 million just as a customer of 2 million could rise to 7 million.

This way you get a high rate of supply and turnover depend on how wide your outreach is and how many types of customers you can accommodate

An Online Museum
No one suffers as much as talent artist in this country, painters and artists can't eat from their talent alone and have to do odd jobs to survive or in most cases abandon it all together just to fend for their families.

Why not open a Online Museum for artists
Just like Jiji let them snap a photo of their art and upload it to your website, if you are interested, go there see the work, take a better photograph and showcase it .
If it is sold, give them their percentage and make them happy.
Considering the time and sacrifice required to make art, An artist should be able to live off his craft.

Shop/ Office Sharing
We are so used to getting our own thing all the time in this country that we forget that we could actually share.
Here's an idea that could help save money on rent. If you are a Real Estate Agent and have a friend who is a Lawyer
What is stopping you two from sharing an office
pending the time you guys decide to go your seperate ways and who knows you might just like the dynamics

All you need to do is stipulate the time you are available on a banner outside the office
Technology has made everything so simple that most conversation can be done on the phone so why waste money on an office space when you can share.

Lawyer Bengoshi - Mon - Friday 9 -2 pm
Agent Shinobi - Mon - Friday 2-6pm

so you schedule your appointments in line with the time you are around and all is good and thrifty

Venture Capital
Tony Elumelu can't be the only one interested in the establishment of start ups and business. A lot of people have that kinds of money, just sitting there.
Be interested in the young talent.

Take a million and support people, give them your condition and agreements. And we should be seeing the kind of development, support and growth that have made famous people like Jobs and Wozniak to who they are.

If you have the money, let it work for you

Rearing of Goats

People do wake up early in the morning to hunt ugwu sellers just to pick up the stalks from their stores, into a bag to feed their goats,they time the local bean cake seller for her washed bean chaff, and make friends with the food stuff seller for the corns and beans that are swept off every day sale.
They practically rear their goats for free, goat are always in demand, rarely fall sick and are a good investment and business, if you have the compound to rear them. The ones who let their goats roam are sure no one can steal them.

But in a local town, it's cheaper to let them roam,as they do in Kaduna.
Goat is good business

Dune country/ University
This idea is for those with the funds and interest to take on something big.
off the movie Dune,
We have desert that can host your own country, university or civilization. Cut off entirely from the world with your own library, solar system water and farm. You could have not just a nice little community but an excursion ground or even make it a place of pilgrimage for scholars, or where directors can even use as the set for daring movies.

It's immense expenditure, but so also are all these moribund private universities they keep building. Yobe has a dessert for that can house such an idea

A Cleaning Company
Laziness is the king's disease, with a lot of our guys making serious money online, there are a lot kings, big apartments but can't find time, or couldn't clean them spotless
Create your own cleaning company, employ workers who can clean, and dont steal, integrity; People from Akwa Ibom majorly...
Banks, companies, Schools.... all need cleaners

A Distributor

Remember, instead of buying a big car you can be a distributor directly from drug companies while running a phamarmacy

A distributor earns from percentages from buying directly from the companies
like Oraimo earpiece and chupez memory card

Those two I'm really sure of.

Street Tags

I like government employ or businesses that involves every single individual in the state, because of the money involved and the fact that it's non negotiable and easily parsed down without questioning or refusal, provided the state government goes ahead with your idea.

A one for all street tag with a barcode affixed at the gate, or fence of every building will fix problems of effective taxation and remuneration for the government and give the workers ease of a data capturing.
The Street Tag barcode will cover the house's:
Land use charge
Lawma
Utility Bill
Name, Address, and delinquencies.

Even when they are not in the house, scan, crosscheck and be on your way.

Work Station Mobile
Create an app that collects a fee to connect people to work stations on the go all across Lagos, and Nigeria
There is a Workstation in this library
a work station in this university
A work station in this hotel, in this bar from this hour to that hour..

Urinary at the wall
Most guys urinate at the wall because the gutters are sealed, some urinate at the road side.
Write a proposal to the local government for a purchase of urinary connected to a pipe that goes to the drainage directly. it's neater, better and can ensure the enforce the law on public indecency with a jail time
That's if they take you seriously.

Importing/Selling Street Sweepers
What you are looking at there is the Dulevo 600, a simple ride on street sweeper that can be used by government and corporations.
Lagos is in fire need of a street sweeper, All that morning sweeping, ought to be done around
4- 6am
But you find very disgruntled street sweepers sweeping dust in people's faces up till 9 am
in morning, claiming to be employed.
This really makes life simple for everyone.

If they can buy into the idea...

Makeshift Bin
And to curb the littering of dirt around Lagos
As a welder, make a proposal of building makeshift dustbins using damaged tricycle, and old car part, Salvaging the iron of accident, damaged vehicle and parts of old cars and weld it to make an iron dustbin at every 20 meters to keep the city clean

Nigerian Made Solar Powered Cars
We already have solar powered tricycles along the Agege to Ikeja circuitry,
What's stopping us from having our ownbsolar car
using the same system, but this time with a bigger battery, the only thing remaining is the design and assembling of parts
if the Chinese company that makes those tricycle can partner with innoson motor, or create their own design, we might have the first Nigerian made solar car.
they can start with the small cost effective design in the like of Aygo or Yaris before moving into SUVs and hauling trucks.
With the windscreen as the solar panel Nigerians will have no need to fuel a car ever again.

Astronomy/Astrology magazine
Very few Nigerians understand astronomy, Many understand astrology but not in depth,
Astronomy is an entire complex field of study completely alien to the Nigerian and even African mind.

You could run a magazine either online or physically on its study, explanation and highlights. Publishing reviews insights and study on them, especially Hindu backed, or . Indian Peer review study of such fascinating field of study.

Coffee and hookah shop
Coffee goes well with cigarettes and a coffee shop like the ones in Amsterdam where Cannabis is legal could be replicated here in Nigeria since hookah is permitted.
Playing Indian bols, Jazz, dates and ambience, It's a whole lot.

Cable Car
We have the hills, we have mountains, Ondo, Plateau, Ogun, Taraba, Calabar and Kogi.
But no one wants to take advantage of these amazing sceneries to create a lines and Cable car
as a resort and for young couples
The entire vista is for free. Even the Lekki Conservation center could use a cable car and also Obudu Cattle Ranch and the plains of Abriba area in Abia state.

Carpet Grass
Because cementing the floors is quite unsustainable, and expensive. Eventually weather cracks open the cement, Why not plant carpet grass and create the singular path of interlocking stones for your compound.
It helps when you have trees, All you would need is a mower.
It's sustainable, helps the soil, drains water better and keeps the compound clean and fresh.

Sell Carpet grass seeds, it's a common sense

A Jazz Ensemble
Jazz is the true black music, it rarely requires singing. If you know some guys, especially in the church choir. one with the drum the other with guitar, piano and the horn
You can learn how beautiful Jazz is, create your own ensemble, record an album and release it.
You guys could meet every Sunday evening as a way of making your hobby a hustle.
Who knows.

For the guys with the cash you can help run a studio session or be involved in funding a jazz ensemble.

Basketball team
A Male or female basketball team could be under your purview, like the Elephant girls, you can run a basketball team train for competition and source for sponsors.

Replicating The Afrika Shrine

Who's to say (dis your who's to say don dey too much) the Africa shrine should only be in Lagos
Meet the Kuti family and get their approval or not You don't have to give or remit a percentage to the family to replicate the Afrika shrine in your own state and have a Felabaration there also.

You too can be vested in the celebration of an African Hero, ehhn and with the way these recent Felabaration have been dry. You could organize a better, and more banging celebration, instead of inviting all these yen yen upcoming artistes
play the man's music, Get a dj to play his music for at least 24 hours. The man was a god.

How can you have a best Afrobeat list, without the man who created the genre itself.

It's a Good business, Fela is forever

A Hermitage
some trees, a quiet and a rather large compound could be an ashram and serve as a solace for those who need a break from City life even if just for the three days leave from work.
People would pay to be away from their daily life, something like the Guru Maharaji place in Ibadan, a shame about the imprisonment and mind control going on there.

But this could be a quiet venture

The Truly No Man's land

if you are looking for a place with no government jurisdiction, think down, think underground. With the right baulk pillar and concrete who Says you can't build a night club underneath a church.
From 5 feet below the ground to the aquifer is no man's land. It is not even the government's.
You can build an
Underground basement/store
a night club
You can run a metro rail line (my favourite)
A drainage, pipe and conduit system
An Underground vegetable farm
Opera house/theater.
Salon and Spa


The man who built the New York metro did it right underneath everyone's nose. it is fresh land..
considering you cast and protect the upper building and yourself from being sued for building collapse.
The entire floor is yours.

Wrist Watch Making.
There is so much to being an industry that makes wrist watches, provided the material is sources from rubber or stainless, (all in Nigeria) all that could be considered tasking is the team of horologist designing the engine.

Why are our school children without watches, workers...
Simple mechanical gears could be done in Aba, Kano and we could build brand like swatch, tag Heuer,
If we are really serious... Why couldn't we be.
It's a ticking market

Mobile Library II
Especially in this holiday period, I see many shops being left at the hands of vacated school students and they have nothing with them, Phones are expensive and all day long they stare at the road, the adjacent, nothing.

Even if it's with a bag back and a 60 leaves notebook you could run a mobile Library, A lot of us have these novels at home, gathering dust.
Approach them and give it to them to read for a period of two weeks, for a stipend

It is a way to enlighten and also make something out of a gathering dust.

A Think Tank
Like the Madhouse in Unilag, you can make a company of like-minded intelligent people whom still double your collective think tank with their own online side hustle,
This kind of business, is the idea marsh where people join hands to create solutions, ideas and businesses, Draw out their plans, proposals and hand them over for a fee, percentage to either government or corporations.
They could also be hired to help better market, advertise goods and services
brainstorming on what best could work to push their business or product forward.

You just need a nice working space, solar generator and some indoor plants.
Names like Nexus, Troy, Jupiter are DecemberWind, OctoberSun are all in the liking.
