Every Nigerian employee has a side business running from their office desk. The colleague selling skincare on WhatsApp. The one taking forex orders between spreadsheets. The one managing an Instagram boutique during lunch break. The one writing freelance articles while pretending to review reports. The office is not just a workplace; it is an incubator. The computer is shared. The printer prints your business flyers after hours. The clients call your work line because you gave it out. The side hustle is not a secret; it is an open conspiracy. And the guilt! You feel like you're stealing time. But your salary is stealing your life. The side hustle is survival, not greed. It's the Nigerian dream: work your 9-to-5, build your 5-to-9, pray one overtakes the other. What side hustle do you run from your office? And has your boss ever caught you?
