With the way the economy is these days, every Uni student in Nigeria ought to start a business on campus.

Students should do this to make some money to supplement or add to what your parents send to you.

What do you think?

It should be mandatory from Year 1...if not you won't graduate

Very good advice ooo

Marvyx:
Omoh, I wrote projects for people. That's good money. In my time I wrote for 15k. Now I learnt it's like 70k for undergraduates. If you're good and can handle like 5-10 students, that's good income for every session. Top it with printing and photocopy.

Running of errands, cleaning services, POS, barbing and making of hairs at student price. If you get sewing machine, carry am go school sew at lesser price. So many things people around me made money with.

What course did you study?

I want to confirm something

Definitely not for students in Medicine & Surgery, Nursing, Pharmacy and Dentistry.
You will likely not pass exams. You will be withdrawn

They should be practicing in one hospital as Eliza while schooling. A lot of young graduates don't know anything. They are not creative... They just do what they read school verbatim. Science is more of creativity and practical

You cannot practise because you do not have a license.
You are a student and not a quack.
Besides,the moment you involve yourself in anything other than your studies, you will struggle academically...and will eventually be withdrawn.

You can talk about other graduates.
But you see these courses I listed? Don't try it.
Even when you put in 100% effort,you may still be withdrawn

You don't need license to practice Eliza. Well Nigeria medical students are doing well but they do better abroad after the practicals. I mean the studies should include real life events like what happens in the hospitals from year 1.

When I go to hospitals and meet young graduates, they behave somehow.. Carefree and pompous. Unlike the elderly ones. They don't show passion... They behave like people who are just freed from prison.

Medicine student can own a tutorial for younger ones. No field can stop you from doing business if you want to.

Good question. Most people believe that entrepreneurship is easy. It’s when you go in that you will know it ain’t for everyone. Thanks

You don't bill your younger colleagues for tutorial.
You are a student
They are students.
It's unethical.

SeaTrade:
Well I started mine in university and today it's really grown.
Will I do it again if I had the same opportunity?No!
People should have time to be young and worry about adulting later.

hmm,
gigantic advice....


what experience can you share,
to help me understand this better?

What are all of you up there saying, APC says the economy is good and even improving very well , so why should every student start sell, Abeg make dey face their books, by the time dem graduate, jobs go full everywhere according to APC

Dey play.
Besides, younger doesn’t necessarily mean your department mates, younger could be O‘level students.

Hahahaha.
So instead of studying to save yourself ,you will be teaching O'levl students?
Like seriously??

Teaching students doesn’t mean I am not studying.
I have been teaching before I was admitted in university and I was a first class of civil engineering.
I have so many medicine peers that we do take tutorials together.
So, everything is planning.
Teaching doesn’t mean you aren’t studying

Your question should be "What business did you do?" because I graduated from uni years ago.
But still, I get to interact with students almost every day because I now lecture.

And before you ask, I did business while I was in uni.

Interestingly, my uni business gave me the lecturing job. If you're interested, you can read about my journey here:

Where will they get the capital and knowledge to start the business?

“...to start a bank, a factory, or other big businesses you need capital (millions of naira most times) BUT to start a business on campus as a university student, you do NOT need “capital”, what you need is an idea with small innovation…”

Stop playing.

PlasmaTV:
You can't "out-business" a bad economy.
Even business men are finding it hard because the economy is very poor.

No, you can't, but if you try doing business, you might succeed. And if you succeed, you'll be better off.

osuofia2:
If every start selling who will buy, nawao, no wahala

Lol! You sef think na..

What was the last thing you bought? Are you saying the person who sold it to you never buys anything from other people who sell other things?

Cho cho cho, see your mouth like you dont need capital. Motivational speaker. Keep on playing with yourself.
Reality will teach you soon.

I pity you.

Better learn and grow. What reality are you talking about?

I have lived it and I'm still living it.

This your unbelieve and persimist mindset will leave you poor and hungry o.
