Underground Pipes and Sewers

Though I have explained the drainage idea, that of sewers takes on a little more open mindedness.
What is one of the biggest unending resource - Human fecal matter.

If you can get a underground pipe that collects human waste as cheap raw material for your bio digester. You could make make cooking gas and manure from it.
Target Market places and build free toilets with a submerged underground tank that collects all that waste for free.
You could also create this underground tank in big area metropolis like Ikeja, Oshodi, Mile 2, Iyana Oba.
Collect their waste, don't underrate human waste. It was the energy that powered North Korea

The LAMATA app

This app could work not just for Lagos but other states with a working bus and metro service.
Few people know that from Lagos to Ibadan is cheaper by rail, From the Agege train station you can get Ibadan for 3k by a train that leaves everyday around 4pm
whereas they suffer inconvenience and risk road traveling for 5-6k.

the Lamata app helps track the Red and Blue line train movement, schedule and arrival.
It also tracks the Buses too, where they are, how long one should wait, and where.
It's the Lagos movement app.

Give them your design... it's a good one

Marriage Office

Do you know that you could be ordained online for free at the American Marriages Ministries and become a registered Marriage officiant.
Get approved by the Local government, maybe a CAC, if you want and you can perform legal binding marriages.
Our courts are too full of them...
Especially people who need emergency marriages for their travel or young hearts that want to elope. It's a side hustle.

You are senseless o


When you buy a car, is the car driving you? or are you the one driving the car?
Which route
is it the airplane that will determine the route or a pilot?
What are you saying?
Are you telling me that if Air peace were to make an ad on Eid Promo of 40k flights from Lagos to Kano or Lagos to Yola they wouldn't fill it faster and even make return trips of even 3 times in a day, considering today's risk of road travel.


mtew , Maybe you are right. stay away from me.

Air Travel/ Agent

Making the news at the moment, Air travel and it's agency requires the ability to register first at FAAN, rent a cubicle space and operate a tight crew of workers who books and seat people on flights name it Waz-air, Air Dammy anything, OR

If you have, or have some connect that could get you a loan of a billion, and you can Run your own commercial airline,
starting small, Get to Boeing on, get two of their 747, Pay for registration the whole bureaucratic bottlenecks, the park fee, land your planes and start flying.

If you want to make profit faster run an all economic 250-300 seater of Eid traveling Muslims to Kano at 50 thousand naira, twice a day. Do the same for Igbos during Xmas and you should pay off your loan faster and more.

Camel Milk

The key ingredients of Mauritania's Gavage might become cure or diet supplement for anorexia. For those who might want to add weight (I don't know why some people would want to add weight).
But camel's milk is another thing we could source from the north. Does it help with sickle cell disease though? At least for weight gain
Hmm

But it can sold, either liquid or powdered form

Solar Powered Escalators

We spend so much building them, but our flyovers are basically useless, when a woman of 60 plus considers the pain of climbing those things with probably an arthritic leg, she'd rather risk death than climb that safety.
Especially the one at Onipanu bus stop, it's like climbing a mountain.

Write a business proposal to the government that turn those painful stairs to solar powered escalators.
All you have to do is stand and wait a few minutes up and down, Involve other states too.
Now, you can enforce a safety.

School Children's Food
Unlike the school feeding program that couldn't be sustained, A good state government would prioritize school children feeding as a part of student development. A working cafeteria, time table. With three course meal, focus on protein and vegetables

Subsidized but allowing the students also pay a token of 200 daily for food. Take it as a gourmet service even. Package it up

From Spaghetti, Moi moi, Potatoes, Couscous, Beans, Remove the Nigerian children mind from the daily consumption of rice, it's destroying them.

Bread delivery bikes
It doesn't seem right for people to be carrying or delivering breads in wooden boards, or basket.
We can have little bread delivery bikes with a cage like box attached to the back with a stand for when dispersing it. For small bakeries that can't afford a mini bus, could be CNG powered

Dubbing The Lectures
There are over 300 universities in the country teaching the same shite.
Get a network of students to make a recording of all the Lectures being done in all the universities.

Then you create an online open University that is cheaper and ever more rigid and intense than the ones people pay to go to, because it contains the lectures of all the Universities combined.
His 101 - Dr Ali Uniben
His 101 - Prof. Jimoh Unilag
like that like that
And you just need to scan their exam questions and use it for your own students, there's nothing they taught them that your own students wouldn't know.
Get certified by NBTE and that's all.
You have your own university off the universities.

Simple.

Oraimo distributor

Priest/Priestess
One of the sweetest profession on earth is to be a Priest or a Priestess. All you have do is just sit down and read as many Holy books as you can, maintain a high level of spirituality, fast on some days.

My design for A vegetable chopper carries a wooden bases of a plastic covering, with a handle knife in the middle, attached to a fulcrum that allows for easy chopping, the with an opening to collect the chopped vegetables and to put it inside for preferred size of chopping.

Locally Sourced Sausage Rolls

I like everything locally sourced, I believe Nigeria can actually achieve autarky if we look inward
So you get a grinder, make an agreement with the abbatoir for animal innards,

When you borrow money from your network provider, lets say you borrow 500 naira you are given 425 and they take 75 naira from you as per charges considering that you will pay back the money in full.
Your network provider owes you 5 naira in tax.
If you have a serious legal team and good finance guys.
You should go after that money and hedge it in bonds making yourself a billionaire.
The network provider just made money off you, an untaxed transaction.
