An app that can predict when NEPA will take light depending on past data or information.

PenSoftCorp:
lets have a nigeria website where people can lash the government, make complaints about not having light for 2months, their bad roads, riots in their environment, etc

This looks like it will be much fun but Odikwa risky!

My two pence: create a gaming war app between nigerian troops and boko haram, the user will be the air commander, at the last level, the user will engage abubakar shekau, the invincible predator shouting 'Allahu akbar' and engaging the user in a very fierce deadly battle. And remember that shekau must have nine lives. At every shekau successfully killed, you write an inscription, 'the DSS has confirmed that the nigerian troops has killed shekau, blah blah blah......'

^^^that is a very great idea indeed - the only one actually worth coding after the NEPA app. Lol @ invincible predator shouting allahu akbar!
If not that I am seriously terrible busy, i would have started that right away - pc,mac, android, and ios too.

I love this idea basbone. There should be more gaming apps. Educational gaming apps if possible.

As far as now, no but I like your name suggestions. As long as it is easy and catchy, it should be okay.

What about a song translation app. Like if an Igbo person wants 2 hear Hausa/Yoruba songs in his/her language or watch certain movies in his/her languages. or vice versa. What do u think? With that said. This has been a great thread. We need more creative ideas.

Lol those guys are drunk, they are highly unpredictable, sometimes they follow a pattern sometimes they just go haywire, good luck with that

Dats pretty crazy, but I think every chaos has a certain patter to it. Like what if we could determine wheneva they go drink dat is when they'll take light. How do u feel on dat?

What if there was an app that could trade in data for food? Like 10 MB for a fish tail or 100 MB for a bowl of jollof rice?

I think it is a great idea, but how will it be better or different than Viber or Whatsapp? What can we do 2 make it better or nice? What can we add to it that will make people leave what they have and come 2 it?

What about a website that could compare prices of everything from cost of living, to rent to electricity bill to oil to cement to taxi fare to danfo and etc across cities and states from Lagos to Kaduna and etc?

Whatsapp limits you to your friends but now you have a room where you meet new friends and also call friends with packet data instead of airtime,
How do you see it?

I think its nice. So Whatsapp only limits you to calling n texting your friends, but you are thinking of doing to those who are not our friends on Whatsapp. I think its great idea. We just have to understand Whatsapp architecture and develop or make it better from there. We might be able to start from here ~> http://www.quora.com/Instant-Messaging/What-is-WhatsApps-architecture-1

Intetesting,
Is something like this not existing?

I always thought that Nairaland was a great website but can be hard trying to upload images from links by having to download it to your computer and then upload it manually. What if the images automatically appeared on Nairaland with a submit? Like once u paste the link in Nairaland, Nairaland bot gets the required pictures (not the ads) from the website and uploads it automatically.

A website where students can rate their professors and universities. 'This professor slept with me in order to pass'. 'This school has a bunch of cultism'. 'This school is very religious'. etc.

Alot of Nigerian developers/programmers have made very enticing products but they are scattered all over the internet. What about a website where we can showcase apps, software and websites made by Nigerians.

I like how this thread has alot of interesting people talking about good stuff. I wish we had like a ranking algorithm whereby for each idea/post that we like or dislike we can upvote or downvote and from there depending on the idea/post with the most points we can come together as one and create it.

^^ Ok let's vote then.
BTW @every one bitbucket repo has been created for NigeriaAppStore.
Please if you're participating show your interest, and the skills you're contributing, so you will be invited to the repo.
