Interesting thread. I have Ranging from "udala" fruits I would wake early to pick and sell to classmates in JS2 to "akamu" (maize pap) sold in the surroundings before going to school. I have sold broilers (parents own poultry farm), cassava, slippers (biz arrangement with cousin), iced water, soft drinks, plantain and banana bunches etc. I have sold books (holiday job), computers , clothing and processed food (uncle's biz). The last four while in the university. Selling and feeling the wad of notes thick in your pocket is fun. Aku na-esi obi ike (Wealth gives morale!) |
