[1] A modern day molue that is electric, comes with air conditioning and costs about half the price of a competitive bus. We should be looking to supply the likes of London Regional Transport with red versions of these vehicles

[2] Flatscreen TVs that you can hang on the wall like clocks

[3] All-in-one iPads and mobile phone sets

[4] A combined microwave/toaster

[5] Tinned jollof rice packs that can rival Heinz baked beans

[6] Rain-proof agbadas

[7] Head ties that open up as umbrellas when you want them to

[8] Insulated Isiagu attires that self-inflate and can turn into overcoats, preventing the need to take a coat out with you

[9] Air conditioned bus stop booths that are portable and can be installed anywhere on earth

[10] All-in-one cement, gravel and sand mixed packs that can halve production costs
