Japan sure knows how to solve problems!!!

Hi Everyone,
Its another Tuesday Blogpost and I hope you are all enjoying your day.

As you may know, one of the things I like to research about are unique ideas and creative innovations by people around the world.

So, I visited Japan (online) and found a couple of inventions to share with you. Though captioned as weird, I believe each invention was borne out of the innate desire to solve a problem.

Look closely anyways. Some of these solutions you may need..
...or not.

1. Hate wasting time clipping each toe individually? Japan solved that problem for you.

2. You're on the bus or subway but then you suddenly get lethargic. Rest your chin on this and take a quick nap. Subways are clearly the safest place to sleep.

3. No one likes slackers at work, so this is the solution to that problem. About to rest your head on your hands? Nope. You'll be stabbed by razor sharp pins.

4. There are so many instances where people say to themselves, "I wish I really had tissue." Never. Again. There's an entirely roll at the tip of your fingers.

5. The selfie solution: how to take a selfie without looking like you took a selfie OR how to take the best selfie imaginable. Thanks, Japan, for making this growing epidemic even worse. 

So, there you have them - Solutions to everyday needs.
If you have any weird ideas you may want to share, please place a comment below or follow and comment on the Twitter page @colourmeamba.

Till next Tuesday's Blog Post, Adios!!!

Create every day, No matter your skills - Javier Pérez Estrella

Hello Everyone,
A great Tuesday to you. 

Visiting Facebook a few days back, I came across some art work which exposed my mind further to the awesome power of imagination. 

Ecuador-based  graphic designer / Audiovisual producer, Javier  Pérez Estrella, the man behind these art works turns everyday objects into whimsical illustrations. He mixes simple ideas with everyday objects creating line drawings, balloons out of grapes, light bulbs out of balloons  and porcupine quills out of nails.

For him, his work is 'simple and minimal'. For me, such creativity goes beyond just simplicity. 

Let me know what you think..

...So, create everyday, No matter your skills - Javier Pérez Estrella

BACK TO BUSINESS!!!

Hello Friends,

How are you all doing? I missed you and I hope KNOW you missed me too :) 

My apologies for not posting in a while and it should be easy to blame this on time, or perhaps writer’s block, but I’ve learnt that no wise person puts his hands on the plough and looks back. 

I AM A WISE WOMAN, so here you have me, ‘Back to Business’!!!  

I appreciate every single person who took out time to check on Colourmeamba with concerns and requests for Tuesday blog posts. It made me really glad. Thank you so much.

Now, today’s theme is not dedicated to me, but to a business idea which perceived the opportunity to bring a large group of people ‘Back to Business’. Business as usual slowed for this group of people as they watched competition pull the rug from under their feet. These are the many shop owners at the popular OTIGBA MARKET, COMPUTER VILLAGE, Ikeja, Lagos. 

On Tuesday, the 22^nd of April 2014, a new platform tagged: “MyComputerVillage.com,” was launched, born out of passion to boost electronic commerce in Nigeria, improve customer engagement, increase patronage, and above all and retain over 6,000 shops and 18,000 businesses. The Two-day event witnessed the introduction of a virtual market space for IT Merchants and technicians at the Computer Village, Ikeja. With such e-space, following a monthly or annual rental fee, entrepreneurs and businesses who currently have shops in Computer Village have been offered the opportunity to effectively showcase their products and company brand to prospective buyers via an online shop. 

For many shop owners at the famous IT market, the excitement could not be contained as they realized they could compete again in the market space and indeed get “Back to Business”.

Photos of the launch have been added below:

Business on the GO!!!

If you ask me what I’m passionate about, I’ll tell you.

I am passionate about Ideas and innovations, creativity and its open-ended capacity and enterprise opportunities for value-added results.

Last week Tuesday, I was unable to put up a blog post because my hands were busy receiving God’s Blessings (Ask me privately, I’ll tell). Today, a new label has been introduced to the blog, Business on the GO!!!

Today's Business on the GO is simply about e-Business as technology is developing so fast and easily penetrating our lifestyles. I have decided to tag along with this Innovation, so through this label, I will be bringing to you the different privileges and opportunities available for your usage in Naija even through your very own mobile device.

To set the ball rolling, let me first ask: Are you aware you can set a shop easily online and deliver sales live on the internet 24/7 without having to worry about physical shop set-up and maintenance, landlord harassment or permits and paper work? If you are not, please allow me formally introduce to you the latest dependable eCommerce platform established to enhance the visibility and expansion of businesses -  Mami Market.

As a 24 hours virtual shopping mall, Mami Market eases the challenges faced by young and prospective entrepreneurs in setting up their businesses and provides the opportunity for them to showcase their wares to prospective buyers through online shops. Here, shop owners can sell their products and maintain their individual shop names and brands on the internet.

Subscribers to the mamimarket.net platform only make a monthly or annual rentage fee for any of the three different product packages offered by the platform, Basic, Premium or Elite. They need not worry about technical setup skills, hosting and maintenance upgrades as the platform offers its users all the tools needed to enable their businesses go live on the internet. Buyers on the other hand can view items displayed by the shop and make payments for purchases using multiple e-payment options. Mami Market does not share in the profits of the shop owners unlike other such online platforms. 

In such little time, the Mami Market platform is already offering great prospects for major target markets. One of such is Computervillage.com, an online market solution to purchasing your technologies and gadgets from the comfort of your home. Here, shop owners at the Computer Village, Ikeja- Lagos, are being afforded the opportunity of enhancing their visibility and presence through online shops. All that is required of shop owners is to rent an online version of their computer shop and implement sales within their brand space. Sellers could be easily reached by customers, drive sales effectively and offer overall satisfaction. For most Lagos residents, this has indeed taken the hassle off being tied up in traffic when trying to purchase a new computer hardware, gadget or phone.
