Education, indeed a core asset, but not the only means by which one can be successful in life. Many successful businesses operating today were initiated by individuals who never saw the four walls of school. Here are some business ideas for uneducated people in Nigeria that require minimal startup capital and can provide substantial earnings.
Agriculture
The climate of Nigeria therefore favours agriculture. Be it poultry, fish, or vegetables; agriculture will provide a sustainable means of income. It is very lucrative if done with dedication and hard work.
Food Vendor
Food is always in demand. A food stall or a mobile food business can be one of the best avenues to earn an income. Selling local delicacies or snacks will attract a continuous stream of customers for sure.
Tailoring and Fashion Design
The fashion business is thriving in Nigeria. Tailoring and fashion design are some of the easiest skills to learn and thus present a fantastic opportunity for business, even for those who haven't attended school.
Hairdressing and Barbing Salon
People will always need grooming services. A hairdressing or barbing salon will prove to be a successful business opportunity. Provided the barbering skill is basic and one has satisfactory customer relations, this business is bound to flourish over a short period.
Motorcycle Okada or Tricycle Keke Transport
Transportation is an indispensable service. Investing in a motorcycle or tricycle to provide local transport services is a sure means of generating good income, particularly if offered in urban areas.
Cleaning Services
Offering cleaning services to homes and offices is a low capital-intensive venture. With a reputation for efficient and dependable service this business can grow in a short time.
Dry Cleaning and Laundry Services
People always need clean clothes, and many will have a tendency to pay to get laundry services. Due to this, a small-scale laundry business may bring in some steady money, especially if you have the shop located on a busy street or neighbourhood.
Retail Store
A small retail store selling daily groceries, necessities, or convenience goods could be a decent option for lowly educated people. For this business, you must find a busy area to assure that it attracts customers.
Event Planning and Decoration
These event planning and decoration services are great in demand, with hundreds of events being held on a weekly basis. This business requires loads of creativity and good organizational skills to get into it.
Waste Recycling Business
Recycling waste materials does not only help save the environment but can also bring in good returns. Waste materials collected can be sorted out for recyclable items like plastics or metals and then sold at good prices. The income brought in by the collected items can be steady.
Conclusion
Starting a business does not require formal education. The uneducated in Nigeria can achieve this with the best business idea, coupled with determination and hard work.
