BUSINESS TUESDAY: 5 Business ideas for Uniben students

    
   

From practical observations, most Nigerian students are solely dependent and constrained to the Financial assistance offered by their parents. This has been observed, tested and even proven that  without the aid of a guardian, a typical Nigerian student cannot simply raise funds with simple ideologies and innovations. Now, what are the causes of these drawbacks? It is very Simple. Students are too traditional in the sense that they view the University as a place to get a degree and a degree only.
   This is very incoherent. A University is a merket, a society, a gathering, a pool of interest,  and sometimes could be referred to as a town.In fact, most people tend to become what they have already built right from their University days.Well, not to get you bored with all of those, we at the UnibenTalkingdrum have carried out a survey and have decided to compile Five hot niches/ ideas that will yield some good cash to you if practiced and taken into great consideration.
 Note: These ideas will not make you five billion dollars richer but it will enable you pay some bills and get some new shoes...stuff like that.
