Due to the intensity of school work in our higher institutions, students are now left with no choice, than to choose one between business or school work. Also considering the low economy and the unequal distribution of money in the country, businesses tends not to boom like the way it used to be. This has increasingly left a blow on the face of the Nigerian students, as nearly all the businesses created in schools in one way or the other, do not breakeven, talkless of emerging into great businesses thereafter.
Nevertheless, i have done a little research and compiled a list of businesses, which Nigerian students can do, to help them financially during their stay in school, without having a negative academic effect on there results.
So let’s get down to business
Sure Ways Students Can Make Money In 2016
1. Make Money Helping Post-Utme Student Secure There Bags: I actually put this first because, certain people under-estimated this business until they decided to give it a try in the last FUTA post-utme, some people made a whooping sum of #17,000 Naira for a period of 3 days. Though they covered other expenses, that left them with nothing less than #8,000 Naira each. That was only possible because they added their own initiatives, they got a table, chair and large umbrella.
2. Make money photocopying your school handout/past questions: various people do this in FUTO, until they got better business ideas, and upgraded. Since they have a strong HP 3in1 printer, all they do is to find past questions, gather the useful ones(3 years) then photocopy it and sell in class to students.although the income might be small, you will be comfortable and able to survive a whole semester, even when your parents receive no salary for 3 months.
3. Selling Used Products on Classified Ads(OLX): You can make recurrent cash helping people to sell there used or unwanted materials on Classified ads(OLX, JIJI, MOBOFREE). you may take back home nothing less than ₦8000 per month. you may charge an average of ₦1500 for each product that you're helping people to sell and sometimes, you might be given extra for the kind deed.
4. Offer to Teach Fellow Students on an Hourly Basis: virtually all brilliant dudes in the university make money when they teach their fellow students. Though the income might be quite small, the fact is, the more you teach the more you know. You can as well hold private lessons in the evening. Simply put some notes on the university hallways offering personal tutoring services and ask for a good rate.
5. Use Your God Given Skills to Make Money: Are you good in writing essays, drawing diagrams or portraits? Do you know how to do makeup? Do you know anything at all? why not offer this service for a fee? Today, many people forget or look down on them, at the end of the day, they graduate from school and start hopping from one place to another looking for jobs that needs you to become James Bond in order for you to get them.
6. Start Working as an Estate Agent: This is quite flexible. With houses springing around universities, students always have challenges of getting accommodation. So why not act as that "go-between".
