Sachet Soya

More nutritious than the artificial creamers we are left to buy now, Soya beans grounded with crayfish, groundnut and sugar can be sold in powdered form for our kids pap and cereal.

hmm

Town Planning

Yes, the basketball court goes here, no this place is for Lawn tennis, No that one is handball/volleyball court, This place is an open space for election campaigns and shows. Your governor/ local government chairman cannot do it all.
If you are a serious architect, write to these guys on how you could help design thier towns and communities

Religious School/Seminary

A lot of churches and mosques could second as religious School for the indepth study of the religious text, with enough space you could thin of making it into an ashram or a seminary.
Though Nigeria is yet to see it's first Buddhist temple/School
We are hopeful

Resin Inhalers

This is for those who have problem with nerve pain, glaucoma or asthma. A resin can be sourced locally from plants and put inside an inhaler to be sold as a relief treatment.
plants include: garlic, cannabis and basil are now to contain resin which reacts with the nerve and help relax and serve as continuous treatment

Charity Boxes

So many supermarkets and superstores and all that is missing is those little Charity boxes,
surely you should get a percentage for your hardwork,
How much of a percentage though? that's between you and your God.

The Forgotten Cameras

Our Old Java and Symbian phones which litter the floor of the Alaba phone market, seemingly out of style and use, still have functional cameras, Engineers who can pry them off and connect them to an app can make local CCTV, Button and Spy camera for street photo, surveillance and other things.
They are just lying there..

The Digital Clay Tablet

My uncle once lost a million to a debtor who refuse to pay him, because of a no evidence to the fact.
The clay tablet was the first type of promissory note used in Mesopotamia and now we can have a digital form of it in an app.
The Digital clay tablet and promissory note is an app that creates a digital IOU, and receipt with online drive and icloud for safe keeping
which can be admissable in any court of law. it stipulates the creditor and lender, the amount,date and duly signed with a time frame in which the creditor can decide to collect interest if and when the debtor defaults.
It comes with a voice note dialog box where the individual recording accept the terms and agreement.
In the case of a sudden death, the digital Clay tablet all can be used by the family members to go after the debtor and sue if necessary.

No more of fighting over bad lending,
It can also be used as a form of digital receipt between Tenants and their Landlords.
It comes with a digital stamp duty of 50 naira.

Create this app, it's a solution.

The Sea Radio
Using a satelite for set up and communication. You could pick which of the seas your bandwidth would cover.
Atlantic, Indian or Pacific
Give updates on Pirate alert, Whaling, General News Update, Important Information dispersal and weather forecast with lots of music.

Selling of Annuities

This is for our banks and online banks like Piggv and all. with the cost of University education you could sell annuities to Parents civil servants esp teachers
To cover their children University education of 250k per session a monthly payment of 8,500 from the child's beginning of secondary school.
Which would cover the entirety of their school year, saving your children from being enslaved by student loan

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.

Archaeological Guide

With time you could begin an indepth study of our many abandoned archaeology sites and see if they can be sent for protection as a UNESCO World Heritage site. from places like
Statues of Oro (Kwara state)
Ogbunike caves
The Palace of the Oba of Benin
Ife and Nok Statues

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
If you don't have capital, savings or property, it's not looking good for you, and will not do so.
you will own nothing and you'll be happy

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.
