I was opportune to go to a remote hospital where my sister gave birth,
some people who had their houses far from the hospital has to pay for hot water to use for bathing, for a small kettle of hot water it was sold at 500naira which was ridiculously high.
i am like what you need for this business is jus your gas and gas cylinder, a kettle, water and containers.

i do not think i can do this business.

Some people are really very enterprising. They take every opportunity that comes. They find that the commodity they sell will surely be patronized by people because they have need for it at the moment and they must take advantage of the situation.

As funny as the business idea sounds, it is a good way to generate income because I am opportuned to be very close to hospital environment and I know that hot water is in high demand.

Well, I feel that is not nice. And it even depends on the hospital. My family hospital will make sure that they provide all the things that you will need to use for you

Though i have seen cases like this before. There was a place i went to stay. It was an hotel but there is no access to hot water. People had to pay for hot water from nearby homes.

Yes this is good business, many people from the hospital need hot water. Maybe now we can sell it in the hospital canteen. By stocking several hot water flasks, one of the good tricks is to be able to serve customers quickly.

such places actually have very high prices in our country as well they sell each thing that you can buy from them at 2x prices but they make less because the owners of the place make the biggest share from their earnings .

That's people for you they try to take advantage of any business opportunity they get. So if I'm opportune I wouldn't mind to take an opportunity to make money this way

Yes it would be no bad idea if the people are willing to buy the water but it should be cheap and affordable for everyone

It's obviously a good and somewhat innovative idea. Although things like this don't happen here as nowhere we see demand of hot water, contrary here hot tea demand is much more in winter.

There are certain things I can't sell. Hot water to a sick person who is in dire need of it? I won't sell. And I won't commercialize it.

I witnessed this during my younger years. Now, it does not need it anymore. It is because there are some facilities that can provide this.
