None! I'd invest it in learning a skill instead.

If I go to a photographer or a mechanic and pay them to teach me the basics, I'd likely learn enough to build on and earn lots more.

Why not state how much ROI you'll consider with such capital then you'll likely get the right suggestions. Randomly you can go into trading agricultural consumables like vegetables.
I'm into it as side hustle with just #400k I make 6% of my capital weekly.

Getting patronage isn't as juicy before the advent of IT related photograph and engineering online apps.

Getting patronage is precisely the work I have to do to generate income from my learning, and if I can not teach myself to do that then I better not invest in anything and just chop my ₦500,000.

Do know that after my training, I can choose to undercut others by charging half and doing twice the work for the first few years while I build up my clientele. It would be like Google giving away free stuff to start with and charging eventually. That's the investment.

The gains are in the future somewhere that I will be building, same as I have done with my chess playing that I'm now reaping from, intellectually.
Future gains from mastery of a skill differs, moreso monies invested in skillset helps in the long run but do you know if the OP is looking at having something physical to build upon.? BTW I earn at least $hundred weekly from my chess activities sometime way more if I organized a tourney so if I may ask out of curiosity what's your income @the least from your own chess ability/abilities monthly?
@budaatum I tried to register on the platform you attached when you quoted me but I didn't get their email prompt hence making it impossible for me to Log-in and try out the platform. Any way forward?


Shout-out to all chess players on nairaland earning big bucks via the game.

While others are trying to invest it in their future by leaning skills or businesses,I will invest it in the future of my fellow men nationwide by opening a free DNA test center. The money is small but we have to start somewhere because every day in Nigeria, an innocent man is fathering the seed of his non-virgin partner's ex.

What do I even know sef aside enlightening my fellow men nationwide with the good news of DNA test
