8. Fashion Business: Nigerians are probably some of the trendiest people in the world. Fashion designers are becoming millionaires on a daily basis in Nigeria, thanks to the revolution in the Nigerian fashion business orchestrated by the boom in the entertainment industry in Nigeria.
9. Fast Food Eatery: Eatery business is another goldmine though poor management can kill it death! If you wish to go into this business, be sure to get everything right and do not forget it is a bit capital intensive and requires good management skills.
10. Dry Cleaning: Professional dry cleaners at affordable prices are scarce in Nigeria. What we have are professional dry cleaners whose service fees are extremely high and mediocre dry cleaners who can never keep up with time. Give them clothes today and keep them unwashed after one week. This business is a money maker if you balance it up.

As with every business, it is vital to carry out due diligence to ensure one looks into how feasible it is so one becomes aware of its advantages and disadvantages before dabbling into it.
