Business › Re: Business Idea For Nigerians (Virgin Ideas) by ymkz: 3:31am On Aug 08, 2013
Fhemmmy: Excellent post and a good way to motivate our people . . . Now let us come back to reality, forget about Nigeria being what it is, it will be almost impossible to get 1,000,000 youths with like mind and honest head to come together and make this happen.

I will suggest something that could be done with lesser investment money with still a good ROI that needs like 100K each and bring together like hundreds of people that could make it happen.

Dont get me wrong, i wish more people could see the life in your post cos i could read beyond what you are yet to say, but "some" would rather use their 100 Naira to eat point and kill, cos many blvs in "you only live once"

Come up with something cheaper and lesser people and it will be:
1. Easy to manage
2. Cheaper to do
3. Quicker to achieve.
But i so much duff my hat to you
gentle2all: Thank you for your contributions, in addition, the floor is open to web designers to give us a demos of website that can handle this project taking into consideration that this is a large database project. I will also like to inform youth that the name of the company should be suggested after which board of Directors will be chosen for registration of company name with CAC before opening of account. While that is going on we need to make a choose a bank to handle the deposit.
if i may, kindly permit me. i think you are putting the cart before the horse.

whats the point of setting up a body when you havent chosen a project? or have you chosen #3 already?

being a firm believer in bootstrapping, i believe Phemmy's approach is more realistic.

groups of 5 to 10 people working on projects of N100k or less, then growing on to bigger projects.

based on my views on the 10+ ideas the OP dropped, i think it might be easier to start with say 12 & 13, then proceed on to any of 10, 7 & 3 before ending with any of 3,6 & 8. (Based on capital required and whether they are online or offline ventures).

*************************************************************

13 ONLINE ECOMMERCE STORE (short term, good revenue potential)
12 Church E-business Idea - Blogging About Nigerian Churches (short term, good revenue potential)
10 Movie/Music video Rental Site (short term, bookswap might be better)
8. Clothing Fashion Brand (short term, offline, lots of hardwork involved)
7. Social Network platform for NYSC members (short term, low revenue potential)
6. Internet Service Provider idea (short term - offline, capital intensive)
3. Social Investment website for Nigerians (short term - regulatory and structural issues)

11 How you can be an inventor of a local Nigerian beer (medium term, offline, regulatory issues)
5. Jamb Past question and Answer Website (medium term - already exists)
2. Nigerian Escrow website (medium term - already exists)


9. Nigerian Government Eform website (long term - regulatory bottlenecks)
4. Thesis Database for Nigerian University Thesis (long term - will require too much data)
1. University graduate database (long term - will require too much data to gain traction)

*************************************************************


The major hindrance with these kinds of collaboration will be the auditing and accounting aspects.

Luckily, theres an existing payment processor that has escrow services (if required) and can also help with accounting.

I believe if the small projects like 12 & 13 (which might require less than N150k) are successfully handled, it will be easier to move on/roll over/expand to the bigger ones. if they fail, the losses involved should be minimal for the 10 - 20 lionhearts who will have signed up to share the risk.

bye for now.

@AJ:
Wrote a short piece on it a while back:

www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=729397.msg8884066#msg8884066

dont want to repost it so it doesnt get swallowed. Lolz.




just want to quickly point out that the new mbanking is actually different from the telephone banking someone referred to above.

For one thing, this new model is bank or network independent.

Its like loading ur MTN phone with Airtel voucher and being abln to send credit to someone on Glo !


the major problem i foresee with this thread is the bad reputation of UBA and how that is already affecting public opinion on the product in question.

Also, the hiccups people face with the current ebanking products like ATM and ibanks (cloning and phishing) might discourage early adoption.

Ultimately, its going to be a win-win development.

Personally, i'm rooting for MTN/GTBank YelloMoney, but will testdrive the others as they roll out.




@blink : hope u saw my 2nd reply to ur mcard question b4 it was swallowed? as swallowed?

^ uhmn. Little? Might take more than that.

Cant imagine how she got it wrong with adwords and the others.

Methinks intern/mentee might be in order, if time permits.

More offers please. Thanks!

Kudos, _speed.

I'm sure more offers are still welcome.

Will create an addy and drop it over the weekend.

Might be easier 4 others to reach u if u created an email for this thread. Just saying.
Business › Re: How Do i combine Bussiness with full time employment by ymkz: 4:03pm On Aug 12, 2011
how about the other 2 options?

Partnerships are better when there are at least 3 or 5 people involved, for checks and balances.

How about family?

Geeky: @ afrobaby, mrjaybrown, yamakuza.

Thanks for your comments. Appreciate them.

I have a degree in computer science and though i am very eager to learn more, i have never been able to afford the fees of these IT schools. I can design websites and i have been earning my keep since 2006 since i graduated by hustling. If i cant do a site due to my limited knowledge, i will get who can do it and get my cut. Most times it goes taking care of my siblings needs.

If i even got a good IT company to intern with, i wont mind because it means i get to learn for free somehow. I aint afraid to be hardworking, i do my share and more.

Have worked in a couple of places after service. The first was a MFB where i was being paid 20k monthly to do thrift collecting. I left there because i wasnt contented to work with people who didnt want to move ahead and improve the finances of the bank. Half the workers were 65 year olds who it seemed the salary was pension. The other youths where just using the bank to while away time. During the five months i stayed with them, i introduced a couple of schemes that they implemented and still use today.

I have worked for a stock brokerage firm as a marketer during the stock market crash. I had a monthly target of 5million naira per month. When you dont meet that target, you get a miserly 10k for transport and calls. At the end of the month, when i calculated my t-fare, the 10k was just 45 percent of it. So i quit. But for the two months i worked there i also introduced a scheme of deposits from investors that was implemented even in the lagos branch. And i got them an investor in the first month.

I have help a few people with

What a bummer. I got banned as well.

Tried copying ur 3rd post and got locked out.

The spambot must be very hungry tonight.

Maybe that post was too long, not spaced or had funny words?

You might want to split it into 2 or 3 posts, when u've also been unbanned.

Lolz.
