Do you want to earn extra income from home? Do you need some business ideas you can start part time from your backyard? Then read on.

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to make ends meet with just one source of income. Thus, more and more people are investigating the possibilities of starting their own extra-income business. Most of these part-time endeavors can be started and operated from the comfort and privacy of the home.

However, before you start, the first thing you must do, is some basic market research. Find out for yourself, first-hand, just how many people in your area are interested in your proposed product or service, and would be “willing to stand in line and pay money for it.”

This is known as defining your market and pinpointing your customers. The more precise and detailed your plan; covering all the bases relating to how you will do everything that needs to be done, the easier it’s going to be for you to attain success. It pays to lay it all out on paper before you get involved, and the clearer you can see everything before you start, the better your chances for success.

Have you always wanted to work at home using your backyard as an office but never had a clue of a profitable money making idea to pursue? Well, I advice you read on because one of these 18 money-making ideas can be your blueprint for success.

Rabbit rearing
The domestic rabbit, Oryctolagus cunniculus, are prolific breeders, which produces large quantities of tasty meat. Their rate of production is faster than that of pigs, goat or sheep. Rabbits have very short gestation period (27-33 days) and can rebreed immediately after giving birth. A breeding doe (Female) can produce at least 5 litters per year, with an average of 6 kits per litter; if well managed under simple conditions. With simple 15% mortality at most, about 25 of the kits will reach 3kg within five to six months.

Party Equipment Rentals
Renting party equipment has become big business particularly in many big cities. Public address system, Canopies, chairs, stage platform, ice block, drums, cooking utensils, table cloth and other party equipment are in hot demand by party organizers.

Your initial step is to find out fees charged for items and for how long. Then you should investigate the cost of making or buying some of these items. All you need to do is to get in touch with the event managers in your area and make sure you inform your neighbor that you offer such services

Laundry / ironing service / clothes cleaning
Everyone has dirty clothes for laundry and ironing, but many of us do not have the time to do it all. This is where you would come in and make money by doing all the laundry and ironing for other people. More and more adults are in the work force, leaving less and less time for the necessities in life to be done right or even done at all. If your backyard is large enough to store all the clothes, sort the clothes and start making money, then this business could just be for you.

Firewood Delivery Service
With the price of both fuel and oil rising, many people are turning back to wood stoves and fireplaces to cook their food. Wood is easy to burn and is less expensive compared to oil and gas.

If you have access to any type of timber, woodland and trees, you can make your backyard a cash cow, providing chopped and split wood to those who are using wood for cooking, you need a few things like chain saw, axe, ropes, but these are rather minimal compared to what you can be making. You will be responsible for cutting; if you are not strong enough, you can hire somebody to do this for you. You will deliver wood to houses and retailers.

Hand-Made Carton Production Business
It is amazing to know that the everyday carton that you see lying fallow by the roadside can actually be turned into wealth just with your bare hands. A carton can also be called a box. Cartons create impact and visual interest through print, colour, surface design and shape.

There are basically two types of carton package, they are heavy and light packaging cartons your customers are cosmetic shops, pharmaceutical fast-food, supermarket , cottage producers, Distillers, beverages company, etc.

You do not need to fear competitors who produce with machine. Just concentrate on servicing SMEs that is gradually emerging in Nigeria. The capital needed to setup a handmade carton business could be as low as N50,000.

Horticulture / Gardening Business
Horticulture is the study or practice of growing flowers, fruits and vegetables. It also involves the use of iron rods in garden. The soft aspect has to do with the plants itself and it varies. It involves growing of lawns, plants, planting edges, orchard plantation, etc. The good thing about this business is that you can start with whatever you have.

You can start with N1million, N500,000 or N200,000 or less. You can even start with zero capital. You can start by planting grasses or plants in a very small portion around your home. Nurture it well. Before you know it, people are admiring it and are asking you if you can do it for them.

You can also start by doing it for free. Tell them to give you three months. By the time they see the outcome, no matter how small they will be forced to give you something and even give you more jobs and contacts.

Fish farming
Over the years, quite a few people have made fortunes from fish farming, as the population is swelling and protein needs are far outstripping the available supply. Food is always a winner if done well. Fish farming is a sure bet business if you put the right structures in place. More and more people are turning to fish for its low cholesterol protein.

All you need to do is to get a space in your backyard or construct tanks, buy finger lings for between N10 to N20 and feed them for 4 to 6 months, then sell from between N200 to N1,500 depending on weight and size. You should be able to monitor the tanks for hygiene issues because if it is not managed well, it could wipe out your investment.

Herb farm
Herbs are tremendously popular these days; from the smallest shop to the largest discount warehouse, you will find medicinal herbs, culinary herbs, and herbal teas, baths, candles and aromatherapy essences.

You can start out small, growing your herbs in a large backyard or renting inexpensive land. You will need a solid working knowledge of growing and nurturing herbs. Your customers can be wholesale distributors buying for health product manufacturers, grocery chains and restaurants, or you can sell directly to these businesses yourself.

Chalk production
The chalk manufacturing business is very lucrative in Nigeria today because the market is large and the supplies are few. Chalk is used by government and private schools, Universities, Polytechnics, Colleges of Education, Colleges of Agriculture, Schools of Nursing etc. Most of the very few existing chalk producers today hardly produce standard chalk because they lack the expertise. You can do this business right from your backyard. It can be a one-man business, a family business, or a large enterprise.

Set up a small poultry
Poultry is a business you can start from your backyard with 50 to 500 birds, with between N100,000 to N300,000 depending on the cash at hand. These amounts include cost of birds, the pen, feed and medication. Get somebody who is experienced to help you set up the pen. You can source woods directly from sawmill to lower the cost.

Waste management in poultry is very vital; if not properly handled, it will affect the growth, production and bird performance. Whatever aspect of poultry you intend to go into is profitable. A single bird can give you an average of 730 eggs within 2years before you sell it off for say N500 or N600.

Production of candle
With erratic power supply in the country, there is no doubt that production of candlestick is still a money-spinner. A sizeable group of Nigerians rely solely on candle to battle the erratic power supply. With N10,000 you can have a candle mould, which produces 16 candle sticks at a time and go about 50 times a day translating into 800 per day. This is a situation when you are starting with N20,000 to N25,000.

To produce the 16 pieces does not take you more than 10 minutes, just melt your wax, throw it in the mould, and it congeals in 5 minutes, throw in another wax, which you must have melted, while the previous one congeals and you go on and on.

So instead of starting with N100, 000 – N200, 000, you can actually start with N45,000. The startup requirements are mold, which cost about N30,000, Wax N1,000, Thread N1,000, heat source N600, Bowl, Packaging Nylons N1,500, Ceiling Machine N2,000 and logistics.

Grasscutter farming
Grass-cutter is the second largest rodent in Nigeria and it is endemic in Africa. It breeds successfully in captivity and is capable of reproducing twice a year with litter size varying from two to six. They are primarily vegetarians and can be raised to maturity entirely on fresh grasses. They prefer plants with high moisture content and soluble carbohydrate.

Field studies reveal that they do not burrow so they may be caged or reared in a fenced pen on the ground. Grass-cutters are worth considering for husbandry in the humid forest where poor grazing and harsh environment limits the performance of conventional livestock.

Do you think he deserved it?

Facebook’s founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan have pledged $3bn (£2.3bn) to fund medical research over the next decade.

At a press conference in San Francisco, they said their ultimate goal was to “cure, prevent or manage all diseases by the end of the century”.

The funds will be distributed by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, which they created in December 2015.

Tech leaders are increasingly turning their attention to health.

Earlier in the week, Microsoft said it intended to “solve” cancer by using artificial intelligence tools.

This is really strange!!! What do you think?

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Edo State, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has said he will produce 100 millionaires in the state in four years, if elected as governor.

Obaseki, who spoke on Monday during an interactive session with a group, Grassroots Youth Initiative, in the Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area, explained that with the presence of natural resources, the residents had no reason to be poor.

He said, “God has blessed us in Edo. No state is like Edo. We do not have any reason to be poor; the only reason why we are poor is because of bad leadership. With good leadership, the sky is our limit.

Timi Frank, the APC acting national publicity secretary in a statement on Thursday, September 15, 2016, said the PDP was not in tune with reality.

He dismissed the call saying most Nigerians still believe in the leadership of President Buhari and the APC.

Describing the PDP as a degraded carcass, the APC spokesman urged Nigerians to disregard comments from the opposition party.

“I think it is shameful and unheard of for the degraded PDP carcass to call for Mr President’s resignation,” Frank said.

“It is clear that PDP is not in tune with what is happening all over the world,” he added

Have you ever wondered what Jesus is doing right now—today?

Most believers haven’t. They know what He did in the past. They can tell you without hesitation about His ministry on earth, His death, resurrection and ascension. And they can testify about how those things have changed their lives. But if you ask them what Jesus is doing right now, at this very moment, they’re likely to look confused.

“Well…” they might say, “I suppose He’s in heaven seated at the right hand of the Father.”

Yes, He is. But what’s He doing there? Is He on vacation? Is He just sitting around in heaven with no particular purpose?

This is an important question if you want to see Jesus working on your behalf in an ongoing, ever-increasing way—and I’m sure you do. That’s something all believers want. Speaking for myself, I can certainly say there’s nothing in the world I desire more than a manifestation of Jesus in my life.

You’ve noticed something weird about your man. He’s all about himself and away from home a lot more these days. He’s on his phone more than usual and never lets his phone out of his sight. You just can’t shake this feeling that he might be up to something — and that something is cheating.

Before you confront him, don’t make these three mistakes that women make all-too-often when they suspect their man is cheating.

Mr. Osinbajo, during an interview with journalists after a church programme in Abeokuta, the Ogun State Capital, said the Muhammadu Buhari administration is “focused and determined to ensure this country is put on the right track.”

He said the government was aware a lot of Nigerians had become sceptical of the ‘Change’ mantra of the administration.

“There are lots of people who will say where is the change they promised,” he said. “People will condemn and shout, but we are very focused, calm and extremely confident that God is on our side and this country will not be the same.”

He, however, indicated that the full impact of the change may take a couple of years, until 2018.

The Minister of State for Agriculture and Rural Development, Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, has said that Nigeria spends about $22bn a year on importation of food. Lokpobiri made this known on Saturday at a town hall meeting in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.

He said the development had led to the astronomical rise in price of rice and other commodities, stressing that if Nigerians failed to produce some of the items being imported, before December the price of rice would skyrocket to N40,000 a bag.

He said there was a projection that by 2050, Nigeria’s population would be 450 million, wondering what would happen then if the people could not feed themselves now.

Lokpobiri said, “For your information, we spend about $22bn a year importing food into Nigeria. We know how many more dollars … and that is why you see the price of rice going up.

“Price of rice was N12,000 some months ago, but it is now about N26,000 and if we don’t start producing, by December it could be N40,000.

Italy’s highest court has ruled that masturbation in public is not a crime, as long as it is not conducted in the presence of minors.
The decision came down from the Italian Supreme Court — La Corte di Cassazione — in the case of a 69-year-old man, identified only as “PL,” who was caught masturbating in Catania, a city on Sicily’s east coast.
The man was convicted in May 2015 after he performed the act in front of students on the University of Catania campus, according to documents filed with Supreme Court. The man was sentenced to three months in prison and ordered to pay a fine of €3,200 (around $3,600).
However, the defendant’s lawyer appealed the case to the country’s highest court, which ruled on the side of the accused in June but only just made its decision public.

A road safety campaign in Russia has come up with an inventive way to force drivers to slow down – by using topless women to carry speed limit signs. The scheme involves near unclad women parading along the side of the road at accident blackspots.
A trial showed that the idea significantly slowed traffic near a pedestrian crossing in Severny village, in the central Nizhny Novgorod region.

Road safety campaign Avtodrizhenia, who staged the trial, said that ‘most speeding drivers, the majority of whom happened to be men, slowed down to admire the female road safety assistants.’

The topless women held signs warning of 60 and 40 kilometres per hour. There were no reports of accidents caused by drivers being distracted.

They might experience a few abnormalities, or they simply wonder if everything is alright down there.
Most men have some worries when it comes to their joysticks. They might experience a few abnormalities, or they simply wonder if everything is alright down there. Some guys might feel shy about having to discuss these issues openly.

Here are seven most common penis-related questions and answers.

1. How big is the average penis erect and flaccid?
The average length of the erect penis is about 5.2 inches (13.2cm) in length and 4.6 inches (11.7cm) in circumference, and at normal temperatures a non-erect penis usually measures 3.6 inches (9.1cm) from tip to base and 3.7 (9.3cm) inches in circumference.

2. Should I be worried if my penis is curved?
If the penis is slightly curved or bent when erect, the chance is that there is nothing to worry about.

It is very common, so if it has always been like that, then the chances are it is completely normal.

3. Will my penis shrink as I get older?
The penis does shrink a small amount with age. The difference is so minor, that it is often not noticeable – men can generally lose about half an inch between their 30s and 60s.

It is also common for men to put on abdominal fat during this time, which has the effect of making the penis http://www.istylmagazine.com/lifestyle/health/7-pens-related-question-answered/

Ahead of Saturday’s governorship election in Edo State, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party has raised the alarm over alleged arrest of its members and supporters by the All Progressives Congress.
The party also accused the APC of using security agencies to unlawfully harass its members in different parts of the state, saying the action was unethical and undemocratic.

The Edo State Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Chris Nehikhare, on Sunday, said that the party had received several reports of alleged political victimisation by the ruling party, adding that this had increased fear among the party’s members.

According to him, an unnamed aide to a former Deputy Speaker and Majority Leader of the Edo State House of Assembly, Fred Omoigberale, was allegedly molested by the police in Owan-East Local Government Area.

But the Police Public Relations Officer, Edo Command, Theodore Okafor, denied the allegation, adding that the security agency was not http://www.istylmagazine.com/news/politics/pdp-accuses-apc-of-unlawful-arrest/

Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has denied an online report quoting him as saying that he had warned President Muhammadu Buhari not to seek re-election in 2019.
The report, which was credited to him through his former Chief Press Secretary, Alex Nwokedi, in an on-line publication, Post Nigeria, dated September 3, 2016, claiming that Obasanjo had warned President Muhammadu Buhari against seeking re-election in 2019.

But Obasanjo has described the report as “completely false and destructive by those behind it.”

The former President, in a statement issued by his media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, in Abeokuta on Sunday, said there has been no communication between him and Nwokedi in the last three years, and wondered why any news would be attributed to him, as published by the on-line publication.

The statement read in part, “My belief is that democracy allows for anybody including President Buhari for that matter to contest any election and it is the prerogative rights of Nigerians to vote or not to vote for them.

“I have not communicated with Alex in the last three years, so how could a story be credited to me when I did not authorise such or communicated with him in the last three years?”

Obasanjo said he could not even stop any of his children not to seek elective post, because that was part of the freedom of democracy.

It read further, “I condemn in the highest manner the story and those behind it. And for those behind it, they are simply enemies of http://www.istylmagazine.com/news/politics/i-cant-stop-buhari-from-seeking-re-election-obasanjo/

It might have emancipated women from the drudgery of the ‘Missionary Position’, but it seems that men are paying a painful price for revolution in the bedroom.
“Woman on top” is the most dangerous sex position, according to a new scientific study.

Scientists have found that the position, dubbed “cowgirl”, is responsible for half of all penile fractures in the bedroom.

The research also revealed that the “doggy-style” position, with women on all fours, is behind 29 per cent of afflictions.

In contrast, the traditional “man on top” is responsible for just 21 per cent.

Doctors and academics looked at patients attending three A&E units with suspected “penile fractures” over a 13 year period.
Half of them reported hearing a crack before experiencing pain, with some also click to read more; http://www.istylmagazine.com/lifestyle/health/woman-on-top-is-most-dangerous-sex-position-scientists-conclude/
