My candid advice
Don’t get derailed from your studies, at times when the business starts to get into your head, you will pay more attention to the business compare to your studies...

You can’t kill 2 birds with a stone, finish your school with good grades and you will see yoursef in a better place.

Don't start any business. Learn web development and UX programming. Start with Jquery and HTML5

Freelancing is the best.

Learn a skill (or sharpen an existing one). Could be writing, graphics, web design, statistical analysis etc Choose something you have passion for and is in demand. If it's related to your course of study then it's a win-win for you.

Brand yourself: freelancers are now upgrading to what business experts call solopreneurship. Solopreneurship is a one-man business. You create a logo for yourself, a brand name (even if your name will be your brand name) design a website, a business card, choose two colours (main colour and secondary colour) to represent your brand, create Social media handles (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are the most important). Create them even if you don't need them now.
Note: a website isn't a replacement for social media accounts and social media accounts aren't a substitute for a website. You need both.

Build your reputation: this takes time and it's a continuous process so the earlier you start the better. Do free or very cheap services for family, friends and colleagues. And them as samples to your website or social media channels.
Ask friends and family to like and follow your handles.
Ask for testimonial from your clients.

Promote yourself: Design e-flyers. Share industry tips that are useful to your audience and also show that you're an expert in what you're doing.

Read, watch and practice daily and continuously. It's easy to get outdated and you don't want that.

That's all I can gather now and it's how I built my solo business which you can see in my signature.

I might update this when I remember more.

People always quickly wanna jump into business without or little experience thinking its all gonna be peachy, I laugh...
Wait, till people use debt to send you packing.
Funny enough, there is no way to avoid debtors
Especially students... They must owe you.

Left for me, I will tell yoy like dis without mincing words.
Abort, abort mission.

Popcorn sales (this can be done in the evening)
Photocopy, typing and printing of term paper (this can be time consuming)
Graphics design
Zobo, kunu and tiger nut drink business
Perfume oils sales
Sales of unisex wears and accessories
Art and portrait studio (If you sabi paint )
Photography

It's not about starting a popcorn or mining business. The first thing u need do is study ur environment and look for a need. Get a solution to it and sell it to them. I bet u people will pay.

Hi, so I recently gained admission into the University of Ibadan and I've been thinking of a way to support myself...I was thinking of going into mining because of the vast mineral resources in the state but I heard mining is very capital intensive and highly risky..can anyone help me out with tips and pointers to get started??

Thanks in advance

Look for children attending expensive school to teach home lesson to. Add that to whatever biz others come up with. Make sure it's not time consuming

He would still need education to grow bigger in the business

Never down talk or degrade education in any circumstances...

You can go into Printing business with a good HP printer and sale of Recharge cards especially online sales like RNG (recharge and get paid) or even the normal paper recharge card. Students are always printing assignments, term paper, project work etc and must always buy recharge cards for Voice and Data. These businesses are good and will not affect your studz.
However, you will need to embark on a massive awareness campaign starting from your classmates via your Class Rep and other Reps, Notice boards etc.
And be Faithful to customers...its one open secret of business that many have failed to recognised. Many Tailors are guilty!

Shalom

safarigirl, if i recall, makes money from writing. you have to have the talent for this though
if you can buy a camera, you can do photo business. people in school will always take pictures. it was a hustle when i was there
you can learn to cut hair and barb students. just make sure you know how to cut hair though
car washing is a tested and trusted money maker, though you may or may not be comfortable washing cars of students
selling of recharge card. i guess this will still be viable for students - however, you wil have to secure your cards very very well


remember you are there to study. whatever you do should not take over your studies
do not think of yahoo yaho if you know what is good for you.
the cocks have finally come home to roost on tht matter

1. As a university student, you have the great opportunity of affiliate marketing. Get any program that rewards cash for referrals, print the marketing catch along with your links and paste everywhere paste able. (Passive income)

2. You can also sell 2nd hand clothes to girls and reap money like a pro. (Risk of debt)

3. Also, register as a POS agent in the hostel. People can make withdrawal from you without going to town to make money withdrawal. (High risk of robbery)

4. Organise interdepartmental beauty peagents or month-end shows. (You need support from stakeholders)

5. Open a shop besides the hostel for gas refill and also sell hotplates. (Low risk)

6. Soccer viewing center if the hostel doesn't have a common room with TV. (Low risk)

7. Open a well packaged Akara joint. Trust me, you will build a house from this. (Low risk if you can put your pride aside)

8. Laundry service. (Low risk)

9. Video games & snooker joint. (Low risk)

10. Fast food joint or. Indomie & eggs, kinda business. (Low risk but your grades may suffer if you do not manage your time well)

Business Ideas To Avoid

* Betshop
* Prostitution
* Sale of stolen items
* Malpractice agent
* Pimpin'
* Gigalo

My one Kobo advice
Find time to learn a skill in a relevant trade to your studies. It'll keep you many steps ahead of your peers and secure your future better.

He can make a lot of money from cloths if he is fashion oriented, plus the university can be his primary source of income if he can make friends with the rich kids
