If you know much about solar energy, please let me know, especially if you've bought it before. Thank you

Sweetberry123:
Dont worry ppl go still charge phone even if fuel price is 10000, ull even make more money cos ppl no go dey on gen for night again, if u make 3k a day, in a year days more than 1mill, why not go solar. And u will not buy fuel again. Assume a phone uses 5wh of electricity per hour of charge, a 100ah battery will give you 200 hours of charging time or simply put give you enough juice to power up to 100 phones a day assuming a max charge time of 2hrs. You only need 1 300W panel, total cost will be under 400k. This is actually best time fr the biz

Omo . 400k?

richmond500:
how much do u make a day from phone charging, I want know abeg

2.5k, 3k or sometimes, on a good day, 4k

DeLaRue:
Solar would be perfect for your business.

Of course, it is relatively expensive.

True. Did some findings and it's around 150k for the size I need to run the charging business.

DeLaRue:
You are the type of hard working person that should qualify for a small business loan. Unfortunately, finding a bank to provide such loan will be difficult.

We read in the news that there are government schemes to assist people like you. But we know the money rarely gets to the right people. It's a shame.

I'm tired of applying.

DeLaRue:
I hope you find a solution.

Thank you.

Hi Nairaland,

This Subsidy removal is a big threat to my phone charging business. I just can't stop thinking of the negative impacts it will have on this my small business.

Even at almost N200 per liter, it still affect me somehow. Imagine if subsidy is removed, that means petrol might sell for at least N300 or up to N500 per liter, literally puting me out of business, if I don't think of an alternative.

I'm really worried, and could use some helpful advice. Thank you

I'm tired

Haryoife:
Sir at 25 you should know life doesn’t work like that. Do you have passion for any handwork ?
That’s the question

No.
I'm more of a digital person. That's where my passion is. I learned WordPress web development in 2017, and Content Writing in 2021. But for some reason, I don't get much gigs.

I'd like to learn programming, but that'll be in future.

narite:
Whatever it is you decided to learn...make sure you earn in Dollar!!! Stay away from Yahoo. I feel a need to say this.

I have no interest in anything illegal, no matter how lucrative.
Thank you, sir

any I.T skill

Carpentery (very underrated but a cash cow)

Mechanic (very underrated but this guys are balling)

Heavy Duty Generator Repair (Mikano, etc)

Industrial A.C, Deep Freezer and ..... (can't remember the last one. There is a general word for it that cover the 3) it is also a good one. One major contract from one company can change one's life. Maintainance for it is also routine and not a one time thing.

Alimako (but you have to be sure you not scared of height)

Thank you so much, sir.
I would love to go for the industrial ac and deep freezer. Were you able to remember the general name?

Also, pls, do you have any idea how to go about it? In terms of who to meet, were to register and learn it.

Thank you sir

Kobicove:
What do you have passion for? That should guide you

I don't want to go for passion for now. Anything that generates good income is fine. I'll pursue passion later

Mechanics, wiring, carpentry, etc

Thank you, sir

Pls do you have idea how much an average mechanic makes per month?

Hi nairalanders.
I'm 25yrs old. Honestly, I'm not happy with myself and the decisions I have made in my life. I wasted close to 7yrs working in a company that don't appreciate nor promote their best worker (as they know me).

The salary structure has gone from good to worst over the years.

If I had used the 6yrs I wasted with them to learn a hand work, I would have probably progressed further.

Pls suggest a hand work to learn at my age. Let it be something I wouldn't regret learning, because I wouldn't want to make another regrettable mistake. I'm not getting any younger, and as a first son, I have my family to elevate from poverty.

I will be in the comments. Thank you

Just 300k loan from loan app and you're lamenting??

Me that I am owing 1M plus, did I die?

Oga carry yourself and move on jare.

Let's not do this now, sir.
The fact that you owe 1m plus doesn't make mine less of a burden for me.

Like I said, I've been working and using the peanut I earn to settle this loan, year to year, and have no savings. Now I'm (we are) in a messy, urgent situation that requires money to solve.

Besides, it'd be a good deed if someone else could learn from my lamenting.

ibechris:
U can collect more loans to help your family now.

Honestly, I would if I could. Can't borrow from company I owe. I've tried couple other platforms but no lucks.

Thanks though

fman:
It's that all you could advice him?
Why not borrow him 50k.
Let him secure an apartment first.
Then he can hustle from there

The apartment is all we need right now. We don't even know where to go from here if and when evicted

EzegeNdiigbo:
Go do conductor oga

Thanks for the advice

This is not romance related. I decided to post it here because of its traffic, and also because the target audience here are youngsters, who will be needing this advice.

If you're still in your twenties, Pls, stay away from loan sharks! You'll mess up your life if you don't.

I'm currently 25yrs of age. At 25, I owe more than 300k from different loan apps.

This started back in 2017. Ever since, I've been working, and also borrowing more money to pay back loans. How more stupid could I be?

It's 2022, 5 years later, still doing same thing.

I've received countless threats from this loan companies I borrowed from, to the point that I started to careless of their threats. I still repay the loans because I have no intentions of not paying back; I have to.

I'd like to stop here because my story is a long sad one.

My advice to anyone who hasn't messed up their life as I did mine is to pls, do your best, try harder and stay away from loans. It's deadly and will turn you to a slave. No money you make would ever truly be yours.

If I could turn back the hands of time, I would manage whatever little money I earn and would rather beg to survive than borrow.

_________________

I also would like to use this chance to beg anyone who has a job opportunity to pls let me know, because my current job is not helping at all.

Our landlord served us a quit notice. We (My family and I) have just 1 month to pack out. Right now, all of us combined don't even have UpTo 50k, and if we don't pack out, we'll be thrown out.

Pls, if there's anyway you could help (financially, jobs or assisting with a place to stay till we could rent an apartment), we'll greatly appreciate it. I have to be shameless to get this out like this. It's difficult, but I have no choice right now.

Thank you.
