I'm not trying to bring you down or be negative, but I think it's nearly impossible. The internet rely on radio waves to transmit data from remote locations, your device constantly have access to this wave and thus have the ability to browse the internet unlimited forever, but your network service provider needs to make $$ so they capped it and charge you based on the amount of data you transfer. so you see creating an app that transfer data to remote locations is like reinventing your own internet except that you're making it free. which is nearly impossible except if you're a multi-billionaire. $$$

Ever heard of mesh networks? ~> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesh_networking

It is possible.

An App that is sort of like 'Uber For Generators'. When u need a generator (after NEPA has taken the light), u can rent one from somebody. How about that?

and how does that make a better choice over buying ur own generator?? There is already an app that can allow u source for used generators self which is olx. To quote a business idea, u av to know ur target market, how easily can u make a layman adapt to that idea, what problem are u solving and is the problem worth solving in the first place!!! That and many more are what makes for a great business idea!!! Cheers

The one app me i want i don talk am before, but people did not take me seriously.

Title: Coockooroookooo!

Description: When a new post hits the frontpage of nairaland, it sounds a very loud rooster war-cry COOOOKKKKOOOOOROOOOKOOOOO!

That will be all. I mean, if someone could develop a software called "goat simulator" - about a silly goat that goes about destroying everywhere?

Is there really a game like the 'goat simulator'? Where can I download it? I dont think your coockooroookoo app is a bad idea. Like instead of using for when a new post hits frongpage of Nairaland, what if we could use it as a notification when there new thieves or robbers in our neighborhood. Just 2 alarm others. Or how do u feel?

So is it better to buy a generator than to rent one in Nigeria?

Just google goat simulator - you can even see it here - http://goat-simulator.com/ - you can download the full game from torrent sights.
I like this your security extension of the cooocko-a-doddle-doo aka coockoooroookoo app, nice thinking.

another idea.
why cant someone create a general base like creating a fb page and bringing it to the level of having 5million likes. then he can start collecting small cash monthly from those who will post on the page, eg upcoming bloggers who dont have cash to make their page have many likes or those who want their post to get to many people.

Wow this is nice. 100,000 - 500,000 for a paid app like this? Very interesting.

Yeah I understand. Like turning a well populated facebook page into ads. Pretty neat idea.

I told you. I read somewhere that even the person that made it said he just made it as a joke and was very surprised that people bought into the idea.

The site sef funny, when the author puts:

Goat Simulator is the latest in goat simulation technology, bringing next-gen goat simulation to YOU. You no longer have to fantasize about being a goat, your dreams have finally come true! WASD to write history.

Disclaimer:
Goat Simulator is a small, broken and stupid game. It was made in a couple of weeks so don’t expect a game in the size and scope of GTA with goats. In fact, you’re better off not expecting anything at all actually. To be completely honest, it would be best if you’d spend your $10 on a hula hoop, a pile of bricks, or maybe a real-life goat.
