naijacutee: Why don't you look around the campus and think about what students need, and provide it for them? This is what most fail-proof businesses are based on -: identifying a need, and fulfilling it competitively. For example, I've just sent from the UK, USB drives to a similar student in your situation. She bought them from me at N950 each, and is reselling at her campus for between N1,800 - N2,000. And students who need it are buying. There might be other things students might be interested in : stationery, etc. All the best.

hi Funmi, i'm an oau student also. I'd like to be involved as i look forward to becoming independent this year. Also a part 3 student. Lumihexcels@yahoo.com is my contact. Hoping to hear from u soon.

holuphumy: Please I don't know if am in d right section or not cuz dis is my first time of creating a topic on nairaland, presently am in need of ideas. This is a new year and I don't want it to start and end without me achieving anything.

Am a student in a tertiary institution who lives on campus and have been thinking about venturing into a business that will yield a good amount of profit but the problem is that I can think of anything,the thoughts are not flowing in like I want.

Apart from the fact that I want to break the chains of dependency, I also want 2 help out my mum by having her worry less about me and my siblings, even though she rarely complain abt wat she goes thru daily jst to ensure dat all go well with us, the whole thing is weighing her down and it's having adverse effects on her health.

Please note dat I have just little capital, just want 2 start frm sumwhr. Ur candid advice is highly needed.

Thank u

Dr2great: U Students should manage the little money ur parent send to u people, u students should please face ur studies.,u cannot pursue two things at a time,leave busines for dangote and the fresh graduates..u students are just looking for money to buy beer,fuçk urselves around campus.,buy expensive things like dress,trousers,brazil hair.,and even sort and block lecturers just to pass an exam E.t.c. Imagin a student buying a plasma t.v worth 70,000 in sch. Please face ur studies and manage the little money that ur parent give to u people. There is time for everything

ifycent2: I based on....
1) Tutorials [Teaching de new entry students]
2) writing students project
3) programming students project [if u ar in Computer science]
4) Doing students assignment.

It payz me wella.

JOBERMAN: There are some sites that pay you money for doing some jobs like advertising their goods on your facebook posts,tweets,e.t.c. But they pay in dollars,and most don't permit nigerians and ghanians. Last year i stumbled upon a nigerian site which pays you into your nigerian bank account(i got my first payment 2013 oct. You won't believe if i tell you the amount paid.). I would have given you my referral code,but due to the restriction,i will just give you the url of the site.(www.nairawad.com).

Alex J:

hi, i'm also a student of oau and i'm also interested in doing some business on campus or off it (but i prefer on as i stay on). Been thinking about wat to do but the prob is a lot of ppl are already into them. But i believe there's still something hidden in that sch that we need to find. There's always a space. This is my contact_ lumihexcels@yahoo.com. I'd like to share ideas and pool resources with u guys. I've made up my mind to be independent this year.

holuphumy: Pls dis is for evry1 who has bn trying 2 send me an email on nairaland,I only saw ur notifications but I can't access d mail. U can reach me directly on cutechickshady@yahoo.com. Thanks

lord_falcao: must you have a laptop before you can start it?
