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.

     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.

The 11^th idea in our series of 52 Business Startup ideas for Nigeria is ‘Tomatoes – middleman sales + Paste production”.

One can take advantage of the high demand for tomatoes in the meals of various Nigerian household with Nigeria being the biggest importer of Tomatoes in Africa (theNation,2015), to join in the Tomato Value chain as either a middle man between the Farmer and the retailers/end users, or to make your own tomato paste, package it, then sell.

Hi, Still on our series about getting young Nigerians gainfully employed, we explore the business opportunity Eggs from Poultry farms could offer.

Eggs are a very good source of inexpensive, high quality protein. More than half the protein of an egg is found in the egg white along with vitamin B2 and lower amounts of fat and cholesterol than the yolk. The whites are rich sources of selenium, vitamin D, B6, B12 and minerals such as zinc, iron and copper.
