This is something I've been pondering on for quite some time. So I guess I need to finally get it off my chest.

The human species has become disturbingly obsessed with blending in, following the script, finding comfort in the crowd etc. I believe this mentality of trying to enforce a collective harmony of thought across all individuals in a society is ultimately dangerous. Conformity, my friends, is a hydra of a beast. It sprouts heads of societal expectations, whispers of "supposed tos," and the poisonous sting of judgment. It tells women they must bloom in gardens of domesticity, men they must conquer mountains of machismo, and everyone else they must fit into pre-made boxes with labels that chafe.

...And to all of that, I say pish posh! True belonging isn't found in fitting in, it's found in standing out, in raising your voice, in being your unapologetically authentic self. People who embrace their true nature and gifts are often the ones who break new ground, explore new possibilities, and solve problems in novel ways. They are not afraid to experiment, fail, and learn from their mistakes. They are not bound by the limitations of conventional wisdom, tradition, or dogma. They are willing to challenge the assumptions, paradigms, and methods of their fields and disciplines. Non-conformists are the pioneers, the inventors, the reformers, and the revolutionaries of human history.

For instance, Galileo Galilei was a non-conformist who defied the Catholic Church and the Aristotelian worldview by supporting the Copernican heliocentric model of the solar system. He used his telescope to observe the moons of Jupiter, the phases of Venus, and the spots on the sun, providing empirical evidence for his claims. He also developed the scientific method of observation, experimentation, and mathematical analysis, laying the foundations of modern science. Galileo's non-conformism led to his persecution by the Inquisition, but also to his recognition as one of the greatest astronomers and physicists of all time. Let's not also forget Marie Curie, defying the scientific establishment with her radioactive glow, or Martin Luther King Jr., thundering against the storm of segregation with his words of revolution, or Malala Yousafzai, a mere child challenging the bullets of oppression with her thirst for knowledge etc etc. These are the heroes of individualism, the ones who dared to be different, to chase their own moons, and in doing so, illuminated the path for others. And individualism isn't just about grand gestures. It's in the daily choices, the quiet rebellions. It's in wearing the purple socks with the orange polka dots, in pursuing the unconventional career, in loving (or not loving) whomever your heart desires. It's in saying "no" to the stifling expectations and "yes" to your own inner vibes.

So, my dears, raise a glass to the rebels, the outliers, the mavericks who dance to the music of their own souls. Remember, individualism isn't just a right, it's a responsibility. It's the torch we carry, lighting the way for a world where every color shines, every note rings true, and every heart beats to its own, perfect rhythm. Now, go forth and paint the world with the vibrant hues of your individuality!

That idea you've is already out and is FLOSS

RepoMan007:
The solution would have been a robust B2B app platform but we know only fintech in Nigeria.
Maybe a platform that uses NIN and BVN can remedy the weak trust between buyers and sellers.

Crystalom36:

White people are just more curious about the world and how it works.

It's how they discover things. They don't just stay in their comfort zone.

CAVEAT EMPTOR.

Do not discuss anything with him without him disclosing the VC he is working with and a certifiable power of attorney.

After that, sign a proper non disclosure agreement with him before proceeding.

You should verify any document he provides BEFORE discussing with him.

At the end of all discussions, and after getting an insight into your idea dynamics, he would offer you a very ridiculous offer so that you would either be so angry and pull out or so stupid to accept. And that is the goal, so you leave but he has the ideas.

Dont let them use baits to harvest your ideas.

You have been warned.

DOA!

Mr. Jack Dorsey, go and create something different, something new! You have the money and the brains. Not in this world or that to come will you rival an established brand as twitter if you are offering exactly the same services they are offering. You of all people should know.

It's just like waking up from the left side of your bed and deciding to produce another youtube. How do you want to succeed?

React Native should solve almost all your problems for both platforms. Except you are doing something that React Native can't handle.
I am a react native developer

Bloomsbury:

First of all, as a startup founder, you shouldn't care if anyone should sue you for their idea.

Bloomsbury:

Infact no one will sue you except maybe IBM, since they have the highest patent.
What if IBM steals from you something that's not theirs nor among any part of their patents ? There are laws in IBM's country that inhibits IBM from doing that, for your own protection.

Currently it is a waste of time and VC money to patent a software idea unless you have a Ph.D original research on it which implies you should be credited for your work.

Please take note. Startups or businesses don't die off from having competitors. Ideas aren't important, what is important is execution and the team building it.
I can tell you all my startup ideas but the question is, can you build it? Can you bring it to the market? What do you even know about the business model, do you have the right team with years of experience to build it (this one isn't relevant unless it a biotech company).

If you are talking about a software company, patents or IP doesn't help. Patents/IP are mostly useful for Biotech and Pharmaceuticals companies not SOFTWARE STARTUPS.

The wise thing to do if you think you have an original idea for a software is to build it into an API and sell access to that API.

With this method, different startups can be born from your idea and they will still be paying you homage.

When you have built your original idea into an API, there are a few tricks you can do to make you still a BOSS in the game.

1. Build your original idea Startup (API) in a language very difficult for an average programmer to build. Build your software in a language that it will be very difficult for the average Startup to get a programmer in that language to remake what you have built.

For instance, build your software or API in LISP, HASKELL, BRAINFUCK, C, ASP.NET etc

For this method, you can code your software in normal programming language and ask OpenAI chatGPT 4 to rewrite the code into any of the languages below.

2. When writing the codes for your original idea Software, obfuscate the code. Make it almost impossible for the general public to get access to the code and read it. Make your video extremely hard to read and understand.

There's this CIA Software that was among the Vault 7 leak of that Year. The Software can make your code impossible to be read by others or other computers. I think the name is EgosticalGiraffe. Or just search for CIA vault 7 WikiLeaks softwares and you will see it.

3. Build your original software and sell immediately on Aquire formerly known as Microacquire. If it's an original idea, am sure you will sell that idea Software for $5M to $30M on Aquire or Microacquire within days .

But take note, your original idea Software should have made some revenue before you decide to sell it. This way your buyer can validate that people are willing to pay for your idea Software.

To be sincere, I don't know much about Nigeria Startup legal ecosystem. Nigeria Startup system is still young.

The last time I went for a Blockckchain conference in Abuja and decided to participate in a competition as an impromptu to see how the thing goes and without an effort I came third among 15,000 contestants, I knew we have a long way to go regarding tech in Nigeria.

It was one Indian boy of 16yrs that came first 😁
