While it is really hard to draw a conclusion on this, I believe, however, that there are so many lucrative businesses one can venture into in Nigeria and make good money. Business in general depend on your managerial skills.
Shockingly some of the businesses we neglect are the one that actually generate revenues. You will be shocked to find out how much a groundnut seller makes per day.
Meanwhile a boutique owner is struggling to get one customer per day. Recently, I learned that some keke napep owners make more money daily than the average banker in Nigeria.
The most profitable businesses in Nigeria are reserved for those with foresight, sometimes, you don’t even need to open a shop.
There are many profitable businesses in Nigeria.
In the agricultural sector we have the production of raw materials for manufacturing industries.
Raw materials like H2so4, Honey, Palm oil etc.
Production of foods
Every body require food on a daily basis. If you become a farmer for instance, you could feed the nations, or at least, feed a community. People will always eat no matter the economy, if you sale foods or food stuff, you will always have customers.
The ICT sector which is not all that booming but is quite profitable and will pass as Nigeria’s economical power in the near future. You can also provide services by becoming a web designer, blogger or a graphic designer.
We also have the hospitality section – the hotels and restaurants scattered all over the country. Hospitality business is booming in the country and could make you some good money if you know what to do.
We also have the oil and gas sector which should actually come first in the list of “most profitable business in Nigeria. It is a MainStay of the country’s economy and funds about 50% of its budget .the oil and gas sector in Nigeria is growing everyday with the high demand of our liquefied natural gas which is one of the best in the world and with the ever-increasing population of the world you are sure to be in business for a long time because of the usefulness of the byproducts gotten from hydrocarbons.
There are more than 400 other by-products of crude oil besides diesel and gas.
Most times, the most profitable business in my environment may be different from what is obtainable in your own environment. What is paying in my environment may not pay in your own environment.
However, there are certain businesses that are lucrative in Nigeria at the moment.
Before that, I have to reiterate my own business principle.
The difference between a rich man and a poor man is information.
Then there is motivation.
Then connection.
If you are not well connected, informed or motivated, you will not still make money from the best of business ideas.
Also, there is nothing like “easy money”. Money obeys certain principles.
