IDEA #18 - 52 WEEKS, 52 BUSINESS START-UP IDEAS



     1.     The Idea

A good number of Nigerians, both males and more recently females use boxer shorts. An exact figure may not be readily available but it is very plausible that this number of boxer shorts users, are big enough for market consideration.

IDEA #17 - 52 WEEKS, 52 BUSINESS START-UP IDEAS

1.     The Idea


Football has grown to have a huge place in the culture of many Nigerians, who havegrown an affinity to the beautiful game, especially the European leagues and Cup tournaments.

Providing a 300-500 seater venue (AC fitted/Fans), which charges 100 naira per match, can be a source of revenue generation, seeing that there are an estimated 6-10 key matches every week, whilst the leagues are in session. This will work best in crowded (highly populated) residential settlements. While there may already be some forms of this already being operated, you can break in with something that offers more and gives the football viewer a richer experience.

IDEA #16 - 52 WEEKS, 52 BUSINESS START-UP IDEAS



1.  The Idea

In some Cities in the Southern parts of Nigeria (I have not stayed in North in recent times), there are a good number of Laundry services providers, catering for different customers in different income brackets.  Both the higher and middle class do patronize the services of Laundry service providers. Whilst some may have a washing machine in their homes, some others might just feel like passing such responsibility to someone else (preferably a Professional). If there is a complementary service attached, this could attract and encourage customers to use this. Students and some lower income households could also be catered for and may not have so much money to pay for the regular laundry services. Which leads to this week’s idea.

IDEA #15 - 52 WEEKS, 52 BUSINESS START-UP IDEAS



     1.  The Idea
Rice, Beans and Garri, or any other grain out there in the Nigerian market can be bought wholesale (50kg), rebagged (with permission from your supplier) and resold in smaller sizes (2kg, 5kg packs).

     1. The Idea

I manufacture risk free menstrual pads for women – Nkem Obianwu

Risk? From Sanitary pads? Yeah, women are at risk of contracting genital diseases resulting from the use of some chemicals and toxins in the production of women’s sanitary pads. The pads are not to be used for more than plus or minus 8 hours and should be changed. Failure to do this heightens the risk as the blood and the chemicals used in the production can mix and give off something probably unsafe.

IDEA #13 - 52 WEEKS, 52 BUSINESS START-UP IDEAS



     1.    The Idea
Old age is inevitable and the times will come when strength and general mental and physical abilities will fail. In those moments one would need to still be given the best of care in the World and not neglected by very busy loved ones who could leave their elderly in the Village, or have them in the City with them and not have the time to truly give them the right amount of care they need. This idea was first mentioned by www.startupdemands.com in a series they ran last year.

IDEA #12 - 52 WEEKS, 52 BUSINESS START-UP IDEAS

     1.    The Idea

Nigeria is blessed with access to the Atlantic Ocean, Sea, Rivers, Lagoons and with it, a wide variety of Sea foods. In recent times, more people have joined in fish farming (various Catfish farmers), all adding to the high abundance of fish and other seafood produces in Nigeria. But one wonders why we still import canned fish product like Sardines, Tuna, Geisha into Nigeria.
