FASHION DESIGNING

Tailoring in recent years have evolved into a big industry in Nigeria.  If you have an eye for fashion, then you can begin to work on delving into the fashion industry. One of the amazing parts of this is mastering the skill of sewing isn’t much of a big deal. I have friends who have thrown away their certificates and within a few months, they are already in the business of sewing.

COOKING GAS BUSINESS

This is an evolving yet untapped business in Nigeria. A lot of people are so focused on Petrol that they overlook cooking gas. Not long ago, I was speaking with a friend who manages a mid-size petroleum company. They are into all petroleum products. He told me they make more money from cooking gas than any other business.

You can supply cooking gas to retailers or you become a retailer and refill gas for end users. Spice it up. This business is very lucrative and it does not cost much to start. You can start small and grow!

SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCING

For folks that can concentrate more on building social media accounts, can eventually build a business as a social media influencer, which earns money from posting about different brands and promotions. A practical example is Instablog9ja. You will need to have a good following to be able to deploy this model.

WASTE MANAGEMENT

CLOTHING STORE

The clothing store (boutique) industry comprises of small retail stores that sell a limited range of clothing and accessories. The industry is defined as single-establishment stores only. Clothing stores (boutiques) can be strictly designer based (i.e. only one designer’s collection is sold there), or sell a mix of designers’ labels that are in demand in the local market. If nothing sells, cloths will, and that is why it is a good business idea in Nigeria today.

E-COMMERCE

Even if you do not necessarily make your items, you can purchase and resell things on Jumia or Konga sites without any prior business experience. I have stories of folks making millions of sales monthly on these platforms. You can even take it a step higher by designing your e-commerce store and sell these products building your brand.

WEB DESIGNING

If you have knowledge or experience in web design, then you can provide your services to customers and create your own business as a web designer. Funny enough, folks don’t know you don’t need to write codes to design website. I  have a course that has taught tons of people how to design a website without writing a piece of code.

Knowing how to design a website is an awesome business idea in Nigeria because we are still at the liminal phase of a shift from traditional marketing to digital marketing. The demand for websites is high.

GAMING BUSINESS

There are a lot of people who love games, me inclusive. I remember starting a game shop during the ASUU strike in my year 2 at the University of Jos. Starting a gaming business requires that you first love games or hire someone who does and also harness traffic, Almost every cinema houses I see around now have a corner for 4D games. It’s a lucrative business idea for me.

DOG CARE

If you enjoy spending time with four-legged friends, you can start a business that offers dog-driven services to pet owners who do not have enough time to run regularly. A lot of people have dogs they don’t have time to cater for. I have a neighbour that pays 20k monthly to someone that calls himself a vet, just because he knows how to take care of his dogs.

PASTRY & BAKING

Starting a food service business can be quite involved for beginners.

Poultry farming is one of the best and most lucrative business ideas in Nigeria right now. This has a lot to do with the fact that Nigerians love meat a lot especially Poultry. Just go to a party on any Saturday and you’ll see just how much poultry meat is consumed in these parties every week. Let’s not even talk about the ones we consume in our homes, in restaurants and eateries.

The demand for poultry meat is so high that a lot of dealers of poultry products resort to smuggling these items in from neighboring Republic of Benin just to meet up with demand. This ought not to be so considering that poultry farms are fairly easy to set up and could even be set up in your backyard. There are lots of products you can sell as a poultry farmer; you can package and sell frozen poultry meat, you could distribute and sell eggs or you could eve sell day-old chicks to other interested poultry farmers.
