The recent news of recession in Nigeria is not a blind date. It is a forecast that has been studied, reported and expect to receive a positive response from necessary authorities in Nigeria.

This article is not to track whether government and relevant stakeholders did their jobs or not but to itemize means of livelihood for an average Nigerian who needs to make money online.

Even if you do not care about the numbers before I drop my pen today, I will discuss in plain terms, business ideas you can consider during this period in line with their sectors.

Recently, Nigeria Gross Demotic Product shrinks by 3.62 percent in the third quarter of 2020 following the 6.10 percent contraction recorded in the second quarter to drag the nation back into recession for a second time in four years according to several reports and online media.

There are few sectors that keep raising their bar of success despite the depression and depreciation going on in the oil sector with a decline of 20.38 percent reported when compared with the same period of 2019.

Although the oil sector is important because it contributes 8.73 percent of the total real GDP in the third quarter, the non-oil sector has huge opportunity for you because it only declines by just 2.51 percent despite the effect of #COVID19 pandemic.

The greatest of them is the information and communication sector that grew by 15.91 percent in the quarter under review. This is higher than the second quarter of 2020 because it contributes 91.27 percent to the total real GDP.

Businesses around information and communication include SEO Business, Digital Advertising Business, Web Designing Services, Software Development Services.

The list is endless, Information Technology Business., Internet Provider or Re-Seller Business. Tech Repair Business is another idea that pulls ground now.

The alternative sector you can consider in making money in Nigeria is the Agricultural Sector that grew by 13.52 percent year-on-year in nominal terms in the third quarter.

Crop production, among the four key subsectors (crop production, livestock, forestry and fishing), account for 92.93 percent of overall growth in the sector during the third quarter according to online media.

As digital personnel, you can make money in this sector by serving as a middle man between the buy and the seller within and out the country. Your understanding of importing and exporting, in line with Nigeria policy will surely make you more money.
