Sincerely speaking, I have currently not really written any on second hand clothes popularly called "Okrika" in Nigeria. However, it is a known fact that so many Nigerians prefer to buy used clothes (Okirika) which is of good quality instead of cheap fakes available as new clothes. The Nigerian Federal Government has band so many imported good in Nigeria including OK shoes. The good news is that the second handed clothes were not affected by the band, so you can import. Did you know that the cost of importing used cloth is very low compared to buying brand new foreign ones?, this guarantees good turnovers of your investments.

I personally bought a fruit squeezer from a supermarket so that I can make my own fruit juice when I'm less busy, but believe me when I say it that I have not even opened that carton in months because i could be super busy. I always end up buying fresh fruit juice from a superstore / supermarket near me. This also occurs to other Nigerians because they have to attend to more pressing needs in the family.

6. Oil and Gas Industry (e.g. Filling Stations)

The Nigerian land is blessed with milk and honey in the form of crude oil.

Nobody did anything special for the oil to enter our land so the land itself presents the best opportunity for its citizens and Nigerian in General.

Many people think that washing some other persons car makes them servants and they may feel belittled. but hear this, I have seen several people who came to Lagos, Port-Harcourt or Abuja in three different occasions with nothing but today are millionaires because they started a car wash business. Many started without having any washing machine. They go to football centers, open bars / drinking spots or mechanic workshop to wash cars people's cars and get paid handsomely. They washed it it their bare hands with water and damp rags before they could get a place of their own. You can start with your place if you have the funding. The important thing in this kind of business is simply good management of staffs and a right place/location. Try to choose a strategic place for example in Lagos, Abuja or in other city overcrowded by cars and you will get clients that will patronize you.
