As inflation conti


nues to tighten its grip on the Nigerian economy in 2025, many citizens are finding creative ways to survive — and thrive. From Gen Z to retirees, side hustles are now a must-have. Whether you’re in Lagos, Port Harcourt, or a smaller town, there’s a side gig that can put more money in your pocket.

Here are the top 7 trending side hustles Nigerians are using to stay financially afloat in 2025:

1. Freelancing on Platforms Like Upwork & Fiverr
Many Nigerians are cashing in on digital skills — writing, graphic design, programming, and even voice-overs. With a smartphone or laptop and data, you can earn in dollars.

2. Affiliate Marketing
Platforms like Expertnaire and Selar are helping young Nigerians make commissions by promoting products they didn’t create. It’s perfect for social media-savvy users.

3. Mini Importation
Importing cheap goods from China (like fashion, gadgets, or accessories) and reselling them via WhatsApp, Jumia, or Instagram is still hot in 2025.

4. Content Creation (TikTok, YouTube, Instagram)
Creators are getting brand deals, monetizing their content, and making thousands per month. If you’re funny, knowledgeable, or creative — it’s your time.

5. Online Tutoring & Coaching
Teaching WAEC, JAMB, IELTS, tech skills, or business lessons on Zoom or WhatsApp is a booming hustle. Education is still gold.

6. POS Business
Even with fintech growth, cash is still king in many parts of Nigeria. Opening a POS kiosk in your area can be a steady income stream.

7. Dropshipping & E-commerce
Selling products without holding stock is gaining traction. You only buy what your customers order. Low risk, high reward.

Final Thoughts
In today’s economy, relying on just one income stream is risky. The good news? There’s no shortage of side hustles to explore. With determination, skill, and access to the internet, anyone can start something on the side and beat inflation.

  Some time ago in the idiosyncratic town of Chuckleville, there was a wicked squirrel named Nutty. Nutty had an inclination for tricks and was known all through the town for his trickeries.
