If you have that much money rent ground and sell building blocks the money you will make monthly will amaze you and that without stress of okada or pos.

helIo, although you didnt give enough specific information about your own particular condition, i can still provide you with some considerations to help you make an informed decision. Ultimately, the "best" business to do in Nigeria depends on various factors, including your interests, skills, location, market demand, and available capital. Both the POS (Point of Sale) and bike business (okada) have their advantages and challenges. Let's explore each one:

1. POS (Point of Sale) Business:

Advantages:
- Growing demand for cashless transactions in Nigeria.
- Potential for steady income through transaction commissions.
- Contributes to financial inclusion and promotes electronic payments.

Challenges:
- Initial setup and equipment costs.
- Competition from other POS operators and financial institutions.
- Dependency on stable internet connectivity and power supply.

2. Bike Business (Okada):

Advantages:
- High demand for transportation services in urban and rural areas.
- Can be a source of immediate income with relatively low startup costs.
- Flexibility in working hours and potential to expand into delivery services.

Challenges:
- Safety concerns and possible regulatory restrictions in certain areas.
- Dependent on fuel prices and ongoing maintenance costs.
- Market saturation in some locations may lead to intense competition.

When deciding between these businesses, consider the following steps:

1. Market Research: Analyze the demand for both services in your target area. Consider factors like population density, competition, and consumer preferences.

2. Skills and Interests: Assess your own skills, experience, and interests. Determine which business aligns better with your capabilities and passion.

3. Resources: Evaluate your available capital, as different businesses have varying startup and operational costs.

4. Regulation: Investigate the local regulations and requirements for operating both businesses, as some regions might have specific restrictions.

5. Risk Tolerance: Consider the risks associated with each business, such as safety concerns, market fluctuations, and regulatory changes.

6. Long-Term Viability: Assess the potential for growth and sustainability of each business over the long run.

Ultimately, the "best" business for you in Nigeria will depend on a careful analysis of these factors. Whichever option you choose, it's crucial to have a well-thought-out business plan, focus on quality service, and adapt to the dynamic business environment in Nigeria. Additionally, seeking advice from local entrepreneurs and professionals can be valuable in making your decision.

coputa:
why don't you add a side hustle to the teaching job, like tutorials instead of leaving it outrightly.

For a graduate to ride okada is bad because it diminish your self worth and confidence, your intellect, your physique and expectations.

POS is better if you have made up your mind, look for a good location close to a bank or a busy market
Nigeria as a country has already diminished it's citizens' confidence and self worth bro

If you have access to nearby farm land, invest that money in farming (crop production) and continue your teaching job.

I agree it's not easy,no job and business opportunities but one can still try to chat a new course for himself, instead of sliding down the gallows the country created.

To me POS business is the better option for you. You have more room for development than okada riding.

sonssyo:


I have gone through ur trend to even know what you studied all to no avail,well the amount of money you have may not lead you anywhere in Abuja city. I stayed there before relocating to the east.Huzzle more and raise the capital so that you buy a better okada before mechanics will liquidate that money and you sell off everything, as for POS businesss, 200k will only make you to be an inconsistent vendor full of stories,eg someone can come and make a transfer of 50k, you charge like say 300 naira, next another will withdraw like 20k,30k,50k,60k, the 200 don go down u will run to the bank to withdraw again by the time you are back, you have missed 2-5 clients,next they will say that POS man there no dey dey.
But you can still try it out,e no easy
How much will the 200k make per day for pos business
