Hello Nairalander, I trust every one is doing fine.

So I came up with 10 jobs that looks poor but are actually lucrative.

I hope we learn from it

Disclaimer
I do not advise you to leave your respective Job’s to start any of this business. If you have capital for this, you can go ahead.... if you don’t, hustle more to get capital.

1) Barbing: barbing is one of the most lucrative job out there in the streets. Lol I remember in primary Sch when we dey yab our sef say “you will be a barber in future” .... if I had known then I’ll claim that prayer o

As a barber, you can earn nothing like 8-10k per day if you know what you are doing

I have a profession barber friend who is now in the U.K he cuts footballers, actors, musicians hair and my guy is seriously balling with barbing money.


2) Fitness Trainer: Lot of people now are days wants to lose weight in other to live healthy. As a fitness trainer, you could organize probably a weekend session at probably #1000 person.
If you can gather at least 20 people, that is 20k just in one day.

You can also become people personal trainer at your own price. Start a vlog about fitness and all too... that’s an extra income.


3) Cab services: this is The easiest and the fastest way to make money. Everybody moves from one place to another making transportation really important.

In a day, cab (included likes of keke, okada) can make a some of 5-10k per day depending on how long they work.

4) Photography: back in those days during my primary Sch party, I always thought photographers were poor.... but trust me that’s is the biggest lie of the century. As a professional photographer, you can make at least 30k per shoot. I know of a photographer that shot one of the commissioners in Lagos state..... he was paid 150k (just for portraits and framing O)

Even Buhari Personal
photographer built a house just from photography.

Although, it’s connection sha.... but still try meeting people cos you won’t know who knows who. Also be nice to them so that the will rate you.

5) Car wash business: As for this, you basically just need soap and water lol. Although it’s quite hard to start..... because you need land to wash and all sha. If you have a friend, relative that has a land and wants monitoring.... you could just cajole him that you will monitor for him blah blah blah.....

Car washing business Can pay 5-10k on a good day tho.

6) lesson teacher: No parent wants a child with a burnt brain . You can meet with kids parents and tell them abou the lesson. You can gathered at least 10-20people for the lesson and maybe charge 3-5k in a month per head probably just for 2-3hrs.

You can also take gce lessons, waec lessons etc

7) Poultry business: trust me poultry is lucrative tho. With the right feeds for your animals you can make a huge profit of the lil investment you made on them.

I remember in jss3 when we had agric practicals, we had about 10chicken(layers) and in a week we could pick like 10-15 eggs.


8 ) Buka: Buka!!! My first time of eating bukka was when I went to live with my grandma in Yaba (kufeji street) when my mum travelled.... I remember vividly it was agoyin beans and bread

I noticed the womans shop was always crowded with at least 10 people. She cooks from morning to evening.

Let’s say you buy
100 bread 200beans 100meat 100soda/water =500 per head..[/b].. that is maddd


[b]9) Laundry business: With just soap and water(like the car washing business) you could earn cool cash . But this one, the labor is movable. You could meet people and tell them you wash and iron cloths ..... gather potential costumers and begin

Let’s say you have 10-20 people you dry clean for
200 per cloth. Nobody will want to just dry clean 1 cloth ... they will give you in bulk.... you can make cool cash tho (but you go wash tire ehn ehn ) at least washing machine dey.

Lastly

10) Trader: my Igbo brother and sister are the king of this hussle. They wake as early as 4 go to their place of work do their thing. In a day, depending on what you sell, you can make 25-50k sales .... truss me.

I have a friend who trades in Balogun and with the. Trading profit, he sent his younger brother to turkey to Sch.....

I hope with this point of mine I have been able to convince you but not to confuse that business can pay more than 9-5

princekb17:
its better u open a dom account.The last time i withdrew even more than $100 i was nt charged a cent.bank T&C varies anyways

Pls what bank?

Was it over the counter withdrawal?

Did you collect the money in dollars or naira?

Lastly can I open in any bank or I have to open with a bank I’m banking with?

Babatunde97:
Please bro can you show me how to earn with google AdSense

Basically.... you can earn money through blogging or YouTube.

The criteria varies though.
I really don’t know about blogging
But as for youtube, you need to have at least 1000 subscribers and 4000hour watch time ..... then you apply for YouTube partnership program. Then YouTube accept you and they start placing ads on your video

Hello guys, I need help from financial experts here. Basically, I’m a youtuber.

My delima is that do I open a dollar account or still used my normal naija account to collect my earnings?

So I made a withdrawal of 263 dollars on Monday from Google Adsense and then it entered my naija account yesterday (Thursday).

Apparently, in black market 263 dollars = #115,720 (using $1=440)

But when the money entered my account, I received #94,996. (They used the official exchange rate $1=360).

Now I’m thinking of opening a dollar account so that I can receive it in dollars.

Another issue is that I read on a blog that someone wanted to withdraw 100dollar over the counter and they charged him $20 for service charge.. which is too much

Can I also withdraw in dollars over the counter?

Pls advise me guys.

Prom

Expect a lot of snitching from HUSHPUPPI

ChybuzzDD:
Do Physiotherapists now give injections??

Yes they do

1stola:
Good.
As long as x-ray has said that your bone are okay, the tissues the pains could be coming from is the muscle and/or nerves in that region.
Some muscles fibres could have been damaged when the accident occurred. Trust me, with good regular exercises and massages , it'd be restored.
You can be using warm water to massage it too regularly especially before you sleep at night.

but the injection wont be necessary ba?

oludanobi:
What do you want for yourself and what is the plan ? It seems like a simple enough question but it is really important. I find if you have no idea what you want to do it becomes easier for people to push you about. Your dad is right it was really difficult during his time but we have since made progress , an MSc in the UK would get you a post study visa , it's valid for 2 years which gives you the opportunity to get a job and some experience. Note that it is not a walk in the park to get a job o and as someone said here you could end up being a security guard after your Masters. I remember a friend of mine making fun of me when I got my first office job in the UK , he was making more than me in the care sector . I stopped talking to him , in a few years I was making in 1 day what he was making in a month , he is still in the care sector ( no disrespect to care workers or security guards ). Maybe I just got lucky , you could be lucky too but you will work for it o.

Networking is a not a bad career path , use your time in Naija to get certified and learn as much as possible , if that 2k a month job gives you the right experience please go for it .

In summary please have a plan , do your research and put your work where your mind is �

Thanks very much.....

nowpresence:
do you have any security cert?

Neh...... I was about to write the exams before they closed cos of covid.... so hopefully I’ll get it this year

tensazangetsu20:
What are you waiting for? No think twice o especially as they have relaxed their immigration policies for students.

Thanks for your advice bro ..... I appreciate

DanseMacabre:
My brother except you lack the wherewithal for such. If your family cannot actively restrain you by maybe withholding financial assistance, but can only verbally 'discourage' you and you still are considering whether to go or stay, you're on a long thing.

You better leave while you steal can.


Disclaimer---Ignore this if your family is extremely well to do.

Thanks for the advise mehn

tensazangetsu20:
Get a work permit first and then make this thread again? It's not as if you could work into the embassy and get a visa immediately.

Like I’ll go there for masters... then move on .... you get

Congrats to him

Don’t go and pull a “Cynthia Morgan” if it doesn’t end well sha

The also said that it’s people who haven’t travelled outside to the western world that are insisting that dey want to leave Nigeria without knowing how life is over there

My fellow Nairalander, I greet you o...

my family and I decided to speak about our future plans today o(mum and elder brother). My people already know that I don’t wanna stay in this country after I graduate.

The good thing is they are willing to let me go but at the same time, they are discouraging me from going.

Here are the reasons for thier discouragement

1) there is no job there: well, my dad happened to school in the uk so he use to Tell us about his own experience how he hustled to get just ordinary student job. Although after his studies he cameback to Nigeria to start his career in Civil engineering.
He also said that immediately you graduate from the Sch that it would be difficult to get job there

2) High standard of living: They said that the UK is really expensive. The brought up the idea of rent, water, electricity bill, tax etc sha

3) Nigeria is my fatherland: this one cracked me up cos they always insist that why are people running away from Nigeria that Nigeria is actually good blah blah...... recently I heard on the phone when my dad was telling my mum in Yoruba that “ omo this Nigeria has spoilt finally” yet you still want me to stay clowns

This are the major reason they stated

Now my point is that I cannot even stay here because my 2 core strength is in Computer network security and Sports and we are very weak in this aspect in Nigeria

I remembered doing my IT in ministry of sci and technology, alausa and it got to a point I was wondering WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE HERE. I was paid #2000 per month as an IT student .

My elder brother says he doesn’t want to leave naija cos of his area of study is quite relevant here in Nigeria (civil engineering) I agree with him tho but ....

My people, if you were in my shoes would you JAPA? I need you guys advise

But me sha I have weighed my options and made my decision... I will japa... regardless what they tell me

Op...... I’ll try and help you reach out to him .... I know someone who knows him personally
