i have always despised working in an office under a boss, reading a book called rich dad, poor dad increased my hatred for working under a boss, in a country like Nigeria theres no job security and if you look at it critically, you are actually working yourself up for your boss and the govt. and you'll have no time for yourself at all. i want to be my own boss and I'm sure i will realize that some days, with the right facilities readily available, heres some businesses that i will venture into and it will survive in Nigeria.

1. livestock farming: theres alot of gains in livestock farming if you know your way around it, am talking of getting a big space(land), and start little, maybe poultry, I'll buy all the breeds, in places with alot of hotels like lagos, portharcourt etc, i will rear broilers and advertise it to major hotels so I'll be supplying them meat, if theres capital I'll add a cold room to process the meat, and during festive periods demand will skyrocket, layers for thier eggs and there's also market for eggs, with time I'll venture into grasscutter farming and fishery, very easy to set up, and you supply bars and as you grow your customer base, you might end up buying a delivery van and it will be a smooth sail from then on.

2. importation of fairly used goods: my dad's friend does this, he brings alot of stuffs and you must have something to buy whenever you visit his exhibition, his imported goods ranges from laptops, phones, bicycles, home theaters, tvs, electrical appliances, household items, office chairs, washing machines, lawn movers, hover boards, even miniature bikes, mountain bikes and the good thing is crowds gather to wait for him whenever they hear he's two hours away, now he brings five or more cars in a truck each time he travels.

3. fashion boutique coupled with fashion designing: be a fashion designer and create unique styles which will make you stand out and you can also display fashion wears in your boutique to advertise your handwork

4. blogging: you just need internet access, a computer and a brain to start this, and choose a niche you know something about and you're good at.

5. hotel and catering services: this is self explanatory, but you need huge capital to start, you can start with a small setup more like a drive through or dinner, and choose a catchy name that stands out not common names like mama nkechi lip licking joint, be neat and create a nice environment, hire friendly workers to leave a remarkable experience on the minds of your customer so they'll come back for more

6. beer parlour: if you arent humble, hardworking with thick skin you cant pull this off because irresponsible people come to beer parlours and their behavior might annoy you so if you have what it takes go for it

7. delivery services: you can partner with major shopping outfits to be thier professional delivery service, outfits like konga, jumia etc.

8. dry cleaning service: dry cleaning is a profit making venture if you choose the right place to open it, i can only think of abuja

there are more of thise businesses but this is all i can think of
I'm glad that people some people have stopped waiting for white collar jobs in this present Nigeria,you'll wait forever! Welldone OP.

Phones and Computer spare parts is also a booming business. All you just need to do is learn from someone already into it and start importing them. The profits are so high.

Selling of tomatoes should be number one
highly capital intensive. It's a disgrace that the yorubas who produced tomatoes have stopped farming. Otherwise, we wouldn't be suffering like this.

Importation Of Solar Generators that needs no battery is a big lucrative biz.

If you have the financial means, go to China. Contact Solar Panel Manufacturing Companies and Inverter Manufacturing companies to get your customized Products. The Panels must be Monocrystaline and Foldable . The Inverter must be Pure Sine Wave Gridtie ones. You can also make the Inverter 2way. Which means users will able to choose DC to AC or DC to DC. DV to DC consumes low wattage than AV to DC though at times, the Circuitry of each conversion level do determine the amount of needed wattage to power a load.

The main thing here is to make available to people Mobile Solar Charger that needs no cumbersome battery of any type.

It would even be a best thing if you can design a non-complex grid-tie Pure Sine Wave Inverter Circuit which with Maximum Protection on board. But if you can't, you can make any of those China base companies do the dew for you.

The Panel should be between 24 to 36v or higher if possible to reduce it size . It wattage must not be less than 100W. The grid tie inverter should be between 150 to 200W

Buyers especially Students will be able to charge there laptops, phones etc. On the go with ease.

That's the spirit! My brother graduated from OAU studied Economics,after that he served and worked at a vehicle manufacturing company for just two years,after that he decided he wanted to be his own boss-we thought he was joking. Before we knew it he became a consultant;travels around the world now. He started without a dime! When he sits down with you and talk,you'll not want him to go-i call him an economic-strategist and life coach. I am his elder sister but I learn a lot from him. So i'd advice you to keep it up and keep exploring and expanding,one day you'll have hundreds of people working for you.

GOD BLESS THE WOMB THAT HELD YOU!!!






You just made my day with that Livestock thing.
My school is on strike(KSU) and I volunteered to teach in a secondary school where teachers were urgently needed. They gave me Animal Husbandary and Agricultural Science. Those are the subjects I teach. And it has opened my eyes to the money spinner called Livestock farming.

I think I wanna jump into it.
