That's the Upwork's (one of the two largest Freelancing platforms in the world) infograph on talent gap in 2023. With your laptop and smartphone, you can conveniently fill some gaps either in tech or non-tech categories. But you have to learn the skills first, which I believe was the reason why you asked the questions. Whichever one you eventually decide upon, there are several online courses, from different Universities, big tech companies and global organisations, either free or paid, from where you can learn how to acquire the skills listed and also get their certificates.
I can't start posting links here. However, you may get in touch if you need one.

Good day nairalanders. I believe this is a great forum with lots of intelligent folks.. and that is why I have come to seek your counsel. Even though I haven't met anyone here but nairaland is like my online family


I think these are some key facts to note before you dish your advice (s). Here we go;


-I am a 23 years old male.
-I am the only son and eldest in a family of 2 and my dad is late.
-I am in 100 level (sponsored by my mum's relations) doing a 4 years course but sorry to say this, I don't rate school at all.. just there for the certificate (even though the course is highly rated)
-I am a pump attendant on a 25k salary (night work 7PM to 6AM) with one night off in a week.
-I have a nice USA used HP laptop that is laying idle in my room and my strong Tecno camon which can be used to learn some valuable skills.
-Lastly, I have the zeal to learn an online skill that can be very profitable in 3 to 6 months time and would stand the test of time in a long time to come; but I don't know which, how or where to start from. I seriously need to add another source of income (online) as this my current work is exhausting coupled with my schooling. No rest at all.



Pls my elders in the house, I sincerely need your advice at this critical point in my life. I don't want to make a grave mistake of not learning an online skill and be left out in the digital word. I don't want to continue forever in paid employment. It's no fun. I want to help myself and my family. I don't want to explain tire..


Kindly feel free to ask me whatever you may need to know. I will be reading from the comments. Thanks.

Do research mind you people are still making it big in tech industry, Nigeria still have low percentage of professionals in tech industry. If you don’t like tech go into content creators/ writing, transcription, digital marketing, SEO, graphic design, video editing.
I’m into graphic design in case you want to learn that
Lol. Everything you just mentioned are all still tech. Tech isn't only writing codes.

Forex learn very well as someone said above, don't use real money untill u don understand am. Good
Programming i.e C sharp, python learn well and I tell u, u can plenty jobs on that in naija here, I can teach u, but I dey charge and expensive.
Also make I bust yr brain, must u learn online skill, how about being a tailor or mechanic, do u know how many illiterate tailors and mechanics dey around, if u combine yr education with tailoring or mechanic, I tell u u go dey sew dey export yr cloth or u go dey charge Wella to repair cars as an educated mechanic. Good
So my brother I don drop skill above remember this na time to learn not pursue money, as Pastor Sam go talk, learn a skill well, na people go dey pursue u with money.

Op, look into content creation/marketing. You can specialize in one of:
- Niche website building and/or flipping where you will create blogs about in-demand but less competitive topics and monetize through affiliate offers or ads.
- Rank and Rent. This one entails setting up online as if you were an actual business (driveway paver, dumpster rental services, pest control) in carefully selected cities of the US. When people who need these services come to your website, you then route them (via links or call) to businesses who are actually offering this service (aka lead generation) and then get some kind of referral percentage. For this one you need a bit of more advanced skill in SEO.
While I'm no expert, this is what I have tried and that I can speak to. And let me mention that for any of the above online businesses, you'll spend lots of time learning and it takes a lot of work upfront too. The subrredit r/juststart helped in my journey. Also, the website authorityhacker(dot)com.

Please, don't get it twisted, the word "brokenness" doesn't mean being broke, but it is a positive word that means being gentle, godly, meek, humble, gracious etc. So, don't give the word a negative meaning.

The zeal to learn an online skill is one thing but the obstacles you will encounter is another.

You can try programming ( don't learn by hitting the books and learning scripts and simple syntaxes, pick a project maybe a simple webpage, a simple app like a calculator etc) that's the fastest way to get rolling but you will learn that, that too is very challenging and need a lot of deep patience cause when an error is made lol...

Then you can try forex: three major things to learn is the technical analysis, then fundamental analysis, and psychological analysis. I arranged these three things from the easiest to the hardest (But note that having all these skills with little money will still make it hard to succeed as a forex trader, your mind/psychology will never adapt to the idea of loosing money no matter how you try to convince yourself, if you don't have that money to willingly loose, If you can't accept loosing money & I'm sure you can't especially at this stage in your life, you can't make it as a forex trader). That's why I will advise anyone looking at this option to learn it as skill but a secondary skill, have a primary source of income. I can talk at length about forex but that's for another day.

You can also learn online marketing skills, this need alot of promotional skills and it involves understanding demand and supply based on what particular type of product or service you want to offer and to what type of consumers/customers you're targeting.

Now there are many other skills out there like content creation, video editing, teaching if you have a very valuable skill that you can teach you can enlist on Fiverr, Upwork is now difficult, you can still visit Fiverr or Upwork to draw inspirations lot of ideas there etc.

I remember when I was still starting a few years back, it's always a gradual process don't expect instant results. I too am still figuring out my own puzzle, some ideas worked some didn't, lost alot of money due to the fact that online marketplace is a place to meet all sorts of people and challenges that will actively try to take money out from you till you can't give no more.
Omo story long jare.

You can try crypto blogging. I am also a student and crypto blogging have been saving me for over 2 years. I bought my current phone and laptop from my earnings, and also a large part of the money I used for my final year project came from here also, not to mention that I also feed myself using this as well. I make around $60 monthly and that's because I'm not putting much effort into it these days because of school stress but ideally, I normally could average $100 monthly. Hive is a typical example of a crypto blogging platform and although it has a steep learning curve, the benefits are worth it in the long run.

The way people like you are quick to mention or recommend programming anytime someone ask for advice on a skill to learn,one will think that it's something everyone can do..You people are gradually bastardising this field and making it look like a get rich quick something.... 95% of Acclaimed programmers in Nigeria only started programming because of this same thing you're preaching to the OP and that is why most of them are and will remain quacks.. Nowadays i wouldn't even advice any company to hire Nigerian programmers because all of them are in it with the hope of getting rich quick.. But one thing i really love about that field is that, if 100 people Start the journey today, 90 will give up along the way, and 5 will end up becoming quacks... the field just has a way of filtering the best and those that really have the passion for it..

Well said.
