Radios

There's a young man in Terminus, Jos whose Father invested in his freedom and determinism by establishing him in a shop filled with radios and in the North, it's a well studied business and placement.
Radio are always going to be important, as they serve as companion for the old, the traveling, the hunters, farmers and most especially the blind.

Natural Oils and Remedy

aloe vera
hemp oil seeds
Coconut oil
Charcoal
Palm Kernel oil
Ash
Sea salt are natural remedies that wouldn't become important in the rising inflation, cost of health care and well being.

Focus on it as your source of income as they're becoming hard to find and procure in our quasi civilized world

What other thing can one be involve in to keep shape with the economy (not stopping the tailoring, but running both together)?

Get a freezer, sell soft drinks, fries, biscuits

Walk around and check other people shops for things that might also work for you nd note them down, Take it from there

Bicycle tyres run the risk of getting punctured in the most difficult places and time, this morning on his way to work, I saw a well known dismay, You'd feel like throwing the bicycle away at that moment
If someone would dare import this type of tyre in size 20' 22' 24 ' and 26'
You've finished Nigerian roads completely.

Honey combed wheels are the future

Library/work station

If you have a house in the city and it's too big (probably family house) you could just make do with a room and parlour, break the walls of the remaining space and convert it to a library and a work station for people who need a quiet place to work and read.

It's noiseless
you could offer photocopying and printing
and you could charge per day of use.

Farm installation

Our Big men like to eat fresh or enjoy the feeling of harvesting off their backyard.
As a farmer you could advertise a garden, farm installation.
with the right advert to ensure the soil quality to the plant varieties. I wouldn't go as far as hydroponics but that would be nice too

Prosthetics
Accident victims or diabetic sawed off limbs are rendered invalid in Nigeria. I remember seeing a fully 'functional' security guard in Orange is the new black who had lost both legs as a soldier.

Catfish From Yola

If you have someone who can help you get smoked catfish from Yola, Lassa, Monguno, Lake Chad Axis of Adamawa and Maiduguti respectively.

These catfish are already smoked and very big you could sell 4 pieces for almost 30-35k here in Lagos.
Pretty good and fast business.

coconut

In a town called Badagry lie another raw material called Coconuts. In spiritual world it's called Trinity, All it's part are important.
The flesh could be grounded up and sold as milk
Refined you could make yor own coconut Oil (that is you have the time)

A single pump filling stations/grocery/gas Station


It's risky but in my village, people still buy fuel in 50 litre Gallon and keep in the house, chained to the backyard mostly, Transport to the closest filling station is almost 2 grand to and fro. They keep fuel for those who need emergency fuel when their bike is empty or generator...
And there are a lot villages like that, asking for just the love and concern that would allow someone make some money by operating even if it's a single pump fuel station with a grocery store and gas station by the side to sate their energy need.


Laundromat
school hostels proximity with at least 50 washing machine and 5 Dryers
With a small shop selling detergent and softener on the side, might bring the lazy ones to your store for 1k per wash.
The Yahoo yahoo youths we have today will see it as statu, You will make your money.
Get those washers out the store and utilize them.

Music studio
Recording label, full music production could coke later. But what couldn't you achieve with enthusiasm a Behringer microphone, fruityloop and a big speaker, creating a recording session for those with the determination amidst.


film production
It could grow into something big if you are really interested in starting something, our phones are equipped with state of the art camera, The movie Tangerine was shot with iphone camera.
some friends and you could apply for funding.
by the way why aren't Nigerians interested in the creation of documentaries.
There are lot interesting topics to really go into.

Club house/ Bohemia

The Rotract and Lion Clubs are examples of an exclusivity you could imitate in your especially. You could therefore sell a membership that would be privy to your circle of friends and insiders information.

There are a lot of Artist, writers and poets in Nigeria but no club house or Bohemia to house and gather them once in a while. You could offer that, A venue and revenue in membership fee and monthly dues..
For as long as your club lives

Selling of Refurbished Phones

You should invest in the selling of old phones and Refurbished Java and symbian phones.
The average Nigerian secondary student as well as poor background university student will not be able to afford brand new android phones.
Buy them in Alaba International and test them
They also have old Android phones but they are more problematic in repair and history (stolen phone)

You could also download Java and Symbian apps For them.

Gazette Cassava

Pick a village, mostly in South West, Abeokuta Ogun axis, the land is fertile for planting cassava

Cassava is the mainstay of Nigerians, it will always be a business

A Four Cornered Tub

Using Aluminum boards and glass bond you could create a homeostasis machine. No one understands the healing power of a soak like the Japs.

Some construct concrete stuff with block, but a board might be the cheaper alternative

Targeting Days Excess

Today at the farmer's market there is a considerable increase in the tomatoes transported from the farm many of them Transit damaged,I think the truck got damaged on the way and most of them have fermented and will end up being wasted.

As a country we still cannot tackle our farm excess and have no way of managing our farm waste.

If a government or private hand can buy off these tomatoes, ground and pasteurized the paste to be sold in days of scarcity
That would be a wonderful thing to go into.

AQUARIUM

You'll need a plumber on stand by to be a fitter, get your plug for different fishes, turtles, eels, and sea anemone.
It is wonderful to keep a pet in the house or office, and if you want a cat or dog. An aquatic animal is your go to.

These fishes are expensive and a lot of money is made from their sale.

Dried Vegetables

The amount of vegetables that get wasted in transit and in the market is something.
A nice way of preserving them is by drying, perfected by the Northerners with how they dry tomatoes and peppers
but we could make a business and export from the sale of dried
pumpkin (ugwu)
bitter leaf
scent leaf
curry leaves
spinach
okra
Oha
Iyana Ipaja.

packaged in a small nylons, it's will make cooking easier, richer.

Movie Theatre / Cinema

My favorite plan, because it gives daily money showing old movies, criterion collections and other classics.
You get to join in and see the movie with them watch your favorites over and over again.

Hygiene is your Major concern. Every university and Polytechnic town should have a cinema.
It's a really good business

School Debates

No more as popular as it used to be, A standard, sponsors and a nice venue, There are lot of schools in Lagos state.
Monthly and airing it on radio and these kids will have something to look forward to.
It could help determine their career choice and provide them with exposure and scholarship.

You could would have built a Franchise.

Kitchen tank

A Kitchen tank is not so known in this part but you could be the one that starts it, With the price of the conventional tank, A Small type tank could be done for the ease of kitchen attached with a water purifier and pump.
it's less stress all you need is a hose and you have clean drinking water in your kitchen.

Online Bazaar

Don't you like the bidding game during auction sales and harvest Bazaar. now who's to say the fun couldn't be replicated daily.

now I present to you online bazaar where you get to bid about a host of items some with the intent to buy others just for fun.
imagine a pair of socks being bid at 45 thousand naira and you bid for 46 thinking someone will continue the game and it ends up becoming yours.
you could protest and pay 10 percent fine, with an online forum, it could be fun.
name it bidemi (bidding and waiting) I'm just kidding name it what you like.
