58 days agoLet’s be honest — these days, your monthly allowance can’t even survive Week 2 😩. Whether you're in UNILAG, UNN, or UI, you already know the struggle. So instead of depending on vibes and garri, here are 5 side hustles for Nigerian students that don’t require capital:
---
1. Blogging & Forums (Like This One!)
Konnect is not your mate! You can post, comment, and refer people — and you’ll be getting paid for it. If you’re reading this, congrats... you’ve already started! 😎
---
2. Typing & Assignments for Lazy Coursemates
Some people have money but no brain (respectfully 😂). Offer to help them with assignments or type notes for a fee. Just don’t do their final year project — it can end in premium tears.
---
3. Selling Anything on WhatsApp
Perfumes, second-hand phones, thrift wear, even food — just upload to your status and tell your hostel mates. “Sapa no dey respect introverts,” so market yourself.
---
4. Content Creation (Even if it’s Just Rants)
You don’t need ring light and iPhone 13 to blow. TikTok, YouTube Shorts, IG Reels — start with what you have. If you’re funny, real, or talented, people will notice.
---
5. Campus PR & Affiliate Links
Help lecturers, brands, or small businesses promote their stuff. Sign up for Jumia or Learnoflix affiliate programs and share links. Every click = small cash.
---
🔑 Moral of the Story:
Don’t wait till “after school” to start building income streams. Use your brain, your phone, and your WiFi password that you stole from class 🤫.
