INTRODUCTION Over the years, the country Nigeria had experience setbacks in her state of economy, and her quest to cater and provide for the needs of her citizen, due to either bad governance, corruption, and or greater reliance of her citizen on the government to provide for all their needs. This has made people (most especially the youth) venture in series of online fraud (Yahoo, Scamming), unreliable online investment at a long run, unsuccessful business investment and the popular crypto/ bitcoin trading that causes heart disorder to its trader due to unexpected rise or fall in its value. And moreover, no assurance of long-term existence. e.g., MMM etc. Many households, marriages, ties and kinship had collapsed or broken due to poverty and meltdowns. On this note, I personally come up with this, to divert our attention from businesses that might never materialize and bringing us to those (Small and Medium Scale businesses) we can conveniently and comfortably invest, either on annual basis, seasonal or daily basis, irrespective of our location, capital, occupation and profession. And, I will teach us how we can successfully build a backbone for our desired businesses. kindly note the following as it will be very useful as go on. Did you know that: A larger population creates demands for education, health, Food supply, industries, Local services transport and general services that generates jobs, tax revenues and enhanced economic activity. So kindly note the following: 1. That the current population of Nigeria is 213,719,184 as of Tuesday, December 28, 2021, based on worldometer elaboration of the latest United Nations data. Nigeria 2020 population is estimated at 206,139,589 people at mid-year according to UN data. Nigeria population is equivalent to 2.64% of the total world population. 2. With a high population rate, there is a very large market waiting for their needs to be met, this leads to less competition by rival production companies, businesses, as everyone has their own target market and audience to feed on, the production capacity is enlarged to meet the insatiable need of masses in an overpopulated region. 3. A growing population means greater demand, but it also means greater supply. So, if you are a lawyer, and you care about the relative scarcity of lawyers then it does not really matter if the overall population is growing. It is really about the population of lawyers relative to the rest of the population, e.g., customers. 4. In a growing market, you compete with incumbent businesses for new customers whereas in a shrinking market you compete for incumbent businesses for their existing customers. These will lead us to discussing the businesses we can invest irrespective of our gender, location, cash at hand, profession, Taking into consideration: • Our Cash at hand. • Location • Mode of business. • Profession. Businesses will be grouped to: • • • • Day to day businesses. Annual businesses. Seasonal business. Online business. Businesses in the following Range: • • • • • • N10,000 - 50,000. N50,000 - 100,000. 100,000 - 500,- - 1Million 1M - 10M and 10M and above. Once again you are welcome to this our forecasted good aim. Overview In recent years, Nigeria as a country has made some progress in terms of socioeconomic development, but the country continues to face massive developmental challenges, including the need to reduce dependency on the government and the government herself reducing her dependency on crude oil, addressing unemployment issues through educating her citizens to engage themselves in small medium scale businesses SMEs, thus people venture into different things like up works, online businesses, crypto trading. But seems not wide enough boost to Nigerian and to condole Nigeria citizens as to most of those that invest in either crypto/bitcoin business prefer to leave their money online in hard currencies which in turn does not really have effect on the country’s economy. Based on this fact, the government had tried in several ways to fill these voids through series of innovative principle with the latest been the introduction of e -naira.

Learning a skills and learning it good: To learn a skill both online and offline has been very much easier nowadays using different platforms, but learning the skill is never a problem, learning it good is the major issue, because most of the youths will be eager and in a haste to learn a course online but would not be patient enough to actually master all the nook and cranny of that particular course thus making them incapable of working to expectation if they eventually got a job. Before you should start looking for a job with a particular skill you’ve learnt, ensure you have at least mastered 50% of the everything about the course or skills, ensure you’ve personally engage in practical usage of that skills you’ve learnt, this will give you an edge if you are being given by your employee to execute.

So learning to obtain certification or been deceived by a learning institute or anyone that you will be certified after the course might just be a way to deceive you. Your aim should be after having the required skills not the certificate. As to most people learn on YouTube and using search engines and got the jobs they desired. 3.
