Here are 25 Lucrative Business In Nigeria That Will Make You A Millionaire in 2019. They say in a multitude of people, there abounds numerous entrepreneurial treasures. This has proven to be true for many sophisticated nations of the world, even the developing ones. It takes the mind of people willing to think about ways sift through the seashores of ideas and search out that precious stone. Take India for example. As soon as people realized that with over a billion people living together and transacting businesses, there would be a market for payment systems, FinTechs arose. Today, India is chief of that area of technology, and are even exporting their ideas.


1. Skin care business

A friend of mine recently remarked that Kylie Jenner is a now one of the youngest billionaires by owning a company in her bedroom. That statement provoked a chain of thoughts in my mind, and resonated the standing principle I had always believed that success as an entrepreneur depends 50% on how needed your product(s) is and 40% on how well you promote it. But what is Kylie Jenner’s product? Your guess is as good as mine. In recent times, there has been a surge in interest in organic skincare products; from moisturizers to face glowers and acne removals.

This trend is not looking to drop in 2019, as more people are sharing testimonies that are proving effective in attracting more and more customers. The market is expanding faster than ever before, and is a great ground to shoot for your millions. If you have a thing for organic beauty products, then this is perfect for you. You may want to go into the production of the products or simply the marketing. Some networks even exist base off of this idea, and one of them is Oriflame Sweden, which has a very active skin care community in Nigeria. Check them up too, you may be interested.


2. Delivery Company

Goods get produced everyday, millions of them; from sachet water to bread. In fact, 2 in 5 people in middle class families in Nigeria eat bread and drink a sachet of water a day, especially during the dry seasons. And the middle class makes up over 67% of Nigerian population. So there is your market.

Those commodities that gets produced need to be delivered to the inner communities of Nigeria, to the streets in the more urbanized regions, and to retailers that sell to the ordinary buyers.

With good marketing skills, effective delivery strategy that saves cost and improves returns, you are sure to make a good deal of return from this business. You could set up a delivery business to cover just an area initially, and then expand as the business matures.


3. Sales of Foodstuff

In Abraham Maslow’s needs hierarchy, food was one of the 3 basic necessities that every human being has. Can you do without food? Entrepreneurship is striking that delicate balance between people’s needs and business. In food business is one place where that balance is critically struck.

With a very small capital, you can start a small foodstuff business. With the competition in this space though, you would need some creativity to thrive into the millions with this business.Take for instance, a woman who sells all the spice needed to prepare “ogbono” soup in a pack, so that customers do not have to buy one here and go there for the rest; in fact, they do not have to gather the spices, she already did that and packaged it. So if you want to prepare any soup, she sells the pack of its spices. You can then add luxury items like chicken or beef if you so desire.

A touch of innovativeness is one thing you need.


4. Digital food vendor

Technology has disrupted everything, as you may already know; from FinTechs to NetFlix to AI taking over transportation. It has also come into our very own food business. You can set up a business around both tech and food. So here’s the thing: people must get food, and they need an easy way to do so… everyone naturally prefers easy ways.

So you provide both the food and the easy way to for them to get it. All that is embodied in food vending. You could start with one delivery machine, and expand with time. But one thing is certain; there would be demand for your food if it has enough quality or uniqueness in its delicacy.

Businesses are leveraging the Internet to drive sales and advertise their products to millions and billions of active users.


5. Ankara Business

Big offices in Lagos often hold all-trades day every once in a while. Nigerians, including myself, generally have a natural and cultural affinity for the Ankara. Maybe it is for its characteristic art or just pan-africanism.

Either ways, it is chance to do business. From corporate to inners, people have been using the Ankara to make many fashion wears.

You may want to go into the design, especially if you have the skill; or you just want to sell the material to those who have the skill or want to sew. Both directions would return money if you know your onions.

Let me give you a hint into what I mean; go online, for instance, and you will see on Facebook and Instagram how people are advertising their Ankara designs and materials. You could strike a deal with a designer to be their supplier, you may try at first and fail, but that’s the thing with business.

You could also advertise on your social media pages, starting from friends and family, and then to others. Ankara is part of our clothing style in Nigeria, so you are sure to make it big as soon as you start penetrating the market.

Who remembers what started the beef in the first place?

What are your thoughts on this?

Blackface is using this to get clout again?

Nigerian ace comedian, Bright Okpocha, better known by his stage name Basketmouth has reacted to Simi's new version of the fuvk you challenge.

The fuvk you Challenge is now a popular trend among celebrities in Nigeria, Kizz Daniel should be given an appraisal for starting it and stars like Falz, Dremo, vector and others came out to release their own version. The challenge which had both the viable artists and upcoming artists doing a different version of the song.

Sonorous singer, Simi initially did one before but had to delete it because of the association of tribal mark people. The singer got more than she bargained for when she posted the first version of her own fuvk you challenge which was not too pleasant to people with the tribal mark, especially the veteran tribal mark model Adetutu OJ who seem displeased with one of Simi's line which goes thus: "Oro pe mo kola ni". The lines actually meant you think I'm a fool?. It is a general saying among people in society and people don't even raise a fuss over it. However, the veteran model, Adetutu OJ took it as an insult to people with tribal marks.

Simi was fast to do the needful by apologizing and taking down her first version of the fuvk you challenge.

Meanwhile, in a spirit of correctness and in a bid to join other music stars who have dropped their own version, Simi sang another version to the fuvk you challenge which she dropped dissing lines for that unfortunate guy who thinks he can eat and run.

Before now, many artists who had dropped their own version, always blame the lady, their dissing lines are always to the woman. However, Simi did something quite different, maybe because she was trying to be an advocate for other women, she threw some punchy lines at men who cheat.

The lines in her new fuvk you challenge has caught the attention of Basketmouth who reposted her own version of the song with a funny caption.
