Whatever the choice of idea is I am in, but I still think cvs n jobs r only popular in the south, my meaning of regional and even at that there more southerners who are dreaming of creating jobs and other means of income which also include the internet. And still the system.ends up depending on the factors in the economy that is very dynamic. I am not agains the idea of course but I still think the education thing has a lot of potentials, outside the real business and money involved, it is presently a challenge the world is facing and even Naij itself, checkout ASUU for example. And if the world think this could be an answer, they will be ready to throw in money for anything that will make it a success. This could be the beginning of the libration sudan needs and not just that. And in the future, they will owe the partners that came together to create this. Just saying.

And sorry, just got wind of the cv thing, I thought the idea was to go international. And as it is this cv thing's got a regional tendency and evem in regions where education is valued the people around them are teaching them not to depend on their certificates and jobs. So if in the next ten years, people have so lost their faith in their career paths, and stop writing cvs what happens to the business. That is why I will still vote for the education thing.

Businesstools: That's a novel idea but what makes you believe this idea will succeed, considering the fact that Nigerian students do not like learning.

The reason Nigerian students don't like learning is because of the stigma attached to it. If we could make this system work, we could actually make education fun and with less stigma and considering we are in a time of the internet, more student will prefer to sit in front of a screen than a book. And the system could make provisions for audio and video knowledge systems and that way there will be less stigma and also with the online platform covers more grounds and this will answer the quest of education for all on the global market, so you can imagine how the money will come in

If you intend to go international and big, I'm in.

It is true. But as a substitute sometimes could be guts and faith. Guts and faith work hand in hand leading to the eventual recipes, confidence in getting your idea across and finally investors and funds to implement you business ideas. Starters funds are necessary, but there times you just need to dazzle the right person. At least my friend was able to dazzle someone enough yo make him ready to drop a billion naira until my friend changed his mind.

Negro1: keep wasting ur time on getting patent, that aint gonna put a penny in ur wallet. The best u can do is to make them sign a non disclosure, non circulatory n non duplication agreement.

Will this be before or after she has spoken to them and they have either accepted or declined. My guess is they will dismiss it as not relevant and they will then go ahead and implement it. FuNny thing is how do you prove its originally yours without them insulting you with a disgusting buy off. But with a patent. You stand a better chance legally.

For now with your present capital you should be able to partner with an alread existing firm. But doing small scale can not necessarily be advicable because the fed. gov. is working on combating unlicensed companies in the solid mineral sector. So my suggestion, if you can go into partnership a licensed company or secure a license using investors. Could be a few of your friends. Don't necessarily seek out Dangote yet

The suggestions are when you get the money acquire maybe one or more properties and unitze them ( I.e break the value down into units and sell to other investors, and ensure you own the highest shares on the property still making you the owner) on sale, the money you make from the sale can be used to form a corporation that can create an independent investment system within an existing successful business or corporation suchas a bank, oil company.the money made from both sides will be more than to tale care of the loan.

It starts from registering your company and then you get a few licenses. All these depend on the sector you are interestd in.

Thank you and God bless you for this thread. This is not just applicable to individuals but also to us as a people.we should learn to see past our present failure and look at the opportunities it brings. This was the recipe for the American birth and strength

that amount is extremely huge. But if I have access to such an amount I will most likely invest in oil and gas but before that some understanding will be needed on the industry.

Pick a business of your own interest and go into it. You may get a partner if need be and you will be able to monitor and control the growth of the business. If not you can get a partner. Forex can be added as a component.

My humble suggestion is pick any business of your own interest, it could as well be a talent( don't underestimate those bad boys). Look for someone to help you plan and then get yourself a manager or partner to run the business.

There are lots of business ideas but the one I am on is making real estate a short term investment platform with more control on the cashflow and value of the property. Rather than just see it as a long term investment.
Let's start from there.

Any business he desires. Depending on his interest. There is no special profit making business, its what you make out of your business that stands you out.
