If you have to advise someone, between learning tiling (tiles work) and Barbing (cut hair)
which will you have advise the person to learn.
please you have to also state your reason just help out.
Please I am begging you to also advise like a brother please.
The guy is 28yrs old, he gat 500k already from his bro in Canada, but confused in the one to learn. He is a married man with 1 kid. [

Abeg make that guy go into yam farming with that amount he will make x3 of it after 7 to 8 months..

I can put him through if he doesn't mind.

I have applied for a loan of 700k but lack of good collateral dem no gree oooo

Bro you are already done.

If you know what will be good for you just go learn barbing or phone repair and thank me later.

I'm into tilling, but bro expenses outweighs the income.

Reason why you should stay away from tilling.

1. You are not valued in the labour maker because those you are working with are rich men

2. Intimidation is of high volume
3. It is very had to have your money fully payed
4. You age faster
5. You can't build a better connection that will improve you rather is big men that wouldn't even like to spend Kobo on a dirty worker like you.
6. A little mistake your money is gone
7. depreciation In price.
And many more.
No time for yourself, worse if you're a student.

It's an experience, and am even planning to decamp very soon.

But still yet grace differs.

Go for barbing and if u want to make it fast open shop around any military barrack I swear u will make it big. Am talking from esperience

Most Nigerian guys don't cut their hair again. They go about with bushy dusty hair. To them it's fashion.

Go for tiling. Everyday people are building houses and the amount got in one tiling contract outweighs the amount got in cutting 5000 people's hair.
Note that the highest a Nigerian man would pay to cut his hair is N300 and most of them don't cut their hair again.

Like me, I cut my hair myself, skin no Barber shop again for the past 3 yrs now

slawormiir:
Damnnn niggarrrr
Isoright.....the two dey bring money sha
To me I recommend barbing anyday anytime twice on Wednesday

Niggarzz will always want a nice cut and shave till the end of time
If you can set up a type of barbing saloon that looks dope
Like the one set up by ice cube in that movie tittled " barbers shop"
If you can set up such funny environment like that barbers shop then where ever you are located i will come and have a nice cut....
Love that movie so much ft ice cube, nicky minaj, Cedric the entertainer, Michael ealy, queen latifah, Regina hall, Anthony Anderson, common Rashid, drain cole and Michael reiny

If u don light your poli like this, u dey get inspiration everywhere.

Tiling, in my opinion. You don't know how long and hard it took me to get a reliable tiler a few months ago.

Kudos to his brother for helping out financially. Please tell him to leave him alone for now

Tilling is professional, so he has to learn it and learn it properly

Barbing is something that you can learn within three months and set up a shop

With the above two, he has the chance to be busy with Barbing any time he has no Tilling to do

See where your reasoning carry you go, woman will always be a woman

For starters, Tilling works is kind of a seasonal job, people don't build during raining season.

It's better someone earns 300 every 25 mins of that day than to wait for weeks or months to get 300k.

Be wise

Only you can answer this. What do you want to be in life and which one will take you there?

Note: do what you love and you will never have to work a day in your lifetime. This way, the money must come!

that depends on how fast u want to make it in life!if its regular chopmoney u want,go for barbing!if its abt bn successful within a timeframe,go for tiling!!

Tiling it is. The real estate/construction industry keeps expanding and I can tell you there are not enough good tilers so with good marketing strategy and grace,the sky is the limit.

Tiling.... not many people do tiling... but a whole lot are barbers. If barbing must pay the bills and take care of the family.... one has to be living in a city where men pay attention to their hair. How good is he with hand skills?.... a successful barber has to be better than most .... and has to find his customers. Most people do not jump from one barber to the other.... they stick with one as long as possible... he has to build reputation and that takes time ... if he is that good.
Tiling..... buildings be going up everyday... almost all need tiling done. He can invest the money in buying equipment for tiling... including a tile cutter to up his levels above the ordinary tiler. He can learn from You Tube .... it will be soo much easier to be rated as a tiler than a barber. No comparison when it comes to earnings.

Tiling would be better,only a contract would turn things around for u.but how i wish u would learn screeding and stuco and high quality paint production as well as painting.unlike me dis is wat i do.one wrk will announce u to another person especially wen u are good in them. Bought my land dis yr with dis yr and d 4 bedroom building is on the window level already with dis same wrk

He won't need all that 500k to learn both.
he can learn both and use the remaining to open a barbershop already (to sustain income). Look for a good barber to hire and share profits with and also use style to learn from.

The OCD in me also made me correct your English, sorry.

Barbing
Tiling money is seasonal

Overall, let him go for what suits its talent.

Do you know what it takes for a building to get to tiling stage. Barbing gives daily income from babies, men and women

If you don't mind bro I'm planning on starting a project like yours and still have no idea about the how to go about the budget...would love your honest input! How much was your overall budget before starting

Since April 2020, till date, I haven't visited any barbing shop., And not ready in the near future.
Why, I bought two rechargeable hair clippers.
Floor tiling surpassed hair barbing in terms of being lucrative.
Learning these two skills ain't bad, if you are focused you can run these two business.

Guy.... learn Tiling o....at age 40+ you will rarely get customers in barbing because young guys mostly like patronizing younger hands...but one contract in Tiling can change your generational story.

my budget was initially 20m but way things are going high daily might be a bit more but i know the fraction won't be much..feel free to call me 07031544655

Learn barbing.. e get why.

xreal:
Barbing abeg.
Tiles and Tiling will be obsolete someday.

People have started buying personal Clipper, barbing their hair by themselves.
Barbing will be outdated someday.

As an experienced person learning tiling is the best , you can do work for people or sell tiles in future everybody will barb by themselves I have electric rechargeable barbing machine and for more than 3 years I barb by myself . I f you need electric barbing machine with rechargeable battery last for many days just call 08167608048 we deliver everywhere in Nigeria

With just 100k you can make 50k daily and if you're to invest the whole 500k that's 250k daily it's just you and your bank you don't need to depend on anyone but lowest amount you can make it's like 30k at least I'll give you all necessary identification proof even one on one with lawyer if you want
