Hmmm....those who have opportunities don't know what they have.

My own advice.. If you're your own sponsor, make sure you get atleast money for 2 semesters ahead before starting the program. That way you have time on your side to hustle for money for other miscellaneous without suffering academically.

If you're not a very shy person volunteer to help out at busy business centers, or learn to prepare peanuts with a unique taste and or sell any item that's a thing around there if you're business inclined.


If there are certain skills that you have, try to be friendly with people especially the kindda popular ones (you don't have to be in their clique), then use that network to build a rewarding referral system and get good patronage for your skill(s)

Awesome skills you mentioned above! Just keep the spirit high and don't let the idea of going to school be stopped by the fear of what may be. You already have some amazing skills which you can work on and put out there to fetch you some skills at your convenience.

1. Unisex Tailoring: I take it you're a lady ba.....which means you're most likely to be patronized by your lodge-mates, departmental mates too even if it's two you can sew in a week, say you have an average of 3k profit outside expenses, that is already 6k, weekly, 24k monthly = 72k or more a semester (I'm using an average that you sew only 2 a week o, there may be weeks you may sew less or way more).

2. Computer Skills: Video Editing - Now that everyone has turned to affiliate marketer and whatsapp vendor, you can also leverage into that market, both online and among your network to help them create advert videos for their business/products/services, and if you can make them see how effective your services can help boost their engagement with customers, i'm sure many would buy into it.

Let's assume you get a minimum of N5k a week as profit after expenses such as data for your marketing/ads = 20k monthly; 60k or more in a semester

If you're into video editing, you may likely have a ground idea in graphics design, you can add this to what you're offering them too

3. You can also offer to help coursemates type their assignments, if you have a small laptop (at least 30k for a mini laptop).

4. Peanuts: Hehe...yes o, na student environment o; If you make 30pcs of nice peanuts selling for N100 everytime you go to class, you will most definitely sell everything; provided you're friendly o. Guys will even buy it just to impress you or do father Christmas to other people. Now assuming you make a profit of N1,000 daily from your sails; that's like (minus sundays and maybe some saturdays) = atleast 25k monthly profits; 75k profits per semester.


The plus and minus of everything I'm trying to say is this: THE CAMPUS ENVIRONMENT HAS THE MARKET FOR ANYONE WITH A SKILL OR BUSINESS IDEA TO THRIVE AND SUCCEED, Provided you know how to manage and maximize your friendship with people, and maximize the your proficiency in what you can do, or learn more about what you can do to earn more

Trust me, I'm not ignorant of your plight......I personally just started my 1st Degree (Distance learning, currently 200lvl) after 10yrs of leaving Secondary school....and trust me, God has been faithful.....I'm working as a Secretary somewhere, I'm into graphics design and printing, I'm also into Video Editing.....infact I'm into everything .

Education is not a waste, and seeing that your reason to take the school step is to better your lot, give it your best when you do get started.
