Talking Point 1: Invest in Nigerian Stocks and Treasury Bills
Engaging Question: “What if your money worked harder than you did? Let’s talk about turning
your cash into a money-making machine.”
Explanation: “Stocks and treasury bills are two of the safest and most rewarding investment
options in Nigeria. Stocks like MTN Nigeria or Zenith Bank pay dividends—your share of the
company’s profits. Treasury bills are government-backed, short-term investments with
guaranteed returns.”
Steps:Start Small: With as little as ₦5,000, you can begin investing through platforms like
Bamboo, Chaka, or Trove.
Do Your Research: Focus on companies with a track record of stability and high dividends.
Automate Your Investments: Reinvest your returns to harness the power of compound interest.
Example: “Take the case of Tunde, a young graduate who started with just ₦10,000 investing in
treasury bills and MTN Nigeria shares. Over five years, by consistently reinvesting his returns, he
grew his portfolio to over ₦2 million. Tunde focused on dividend-paying stocks, proving that
even small investments can yield big results.”

Talking Point 2: Rental Income from Nigerian Real Estate
Engaging Story: “There’s a man in Lagos who turned his extra bedroom into a ₦200,000
monthly income. That’s the power of real estate. Could you do the same?”
Explanation: “Renting out property is a timeless way to earn passive income. In Nigeria, this
could range from leasing out an entire flat to simply renting out a spare room or unused space.”
Steps:Leverage What You Have: Start by renting out extra rooms or underutilized spaces in your
home.
List Online: Use platforms like Airbnb or advertise locally through Property Pro, Jiji, or even
WhatsApp groups.
Maximize Returns: Offer value-added services like furnished rooms or flexible payment plans.
Example: “Grace from Abuja inherited her late father’s old house, which she initially thought
was a liability. With minimal renovations, she listed two of the rooms on Airbnb and earned
over ₦1.5 million within her first year. Today, she uses that income to expand her real estate
portfolio.”

Engaging Question: “Think about it—what’s one thing you know that others would pay to learn
or use? That knowledge could be your ticket to passive income.”
Explanation: “Digital products are goldmines. Once created, they keep earning you money
without extra effort. Nigerians are always looking for resources like exam prep materials,
business guides, or skill-based tutorials.”
Steps: Identify a Demand: Look for what Nigerians are searching for—JAMB tutorials, how-to
guides, or even fashion tips.
Create the Product: Write an eBook, design templates, or record video tutorials.
Sell Online: Use platforms like Selar, Paystack, or even Telegram channels to market your
product.
Example: “Chika, a secondary school teacher, created an eBook with past WAEC and JAMB
questions. She sold it online using platforms like Selar and generated ₦500,000 within six
months. With time, she added video tutorials, and her income now exceeds ₦2 million

or Konga, you can earn a commission on every sale made through your referral link.”
Steps: Sign Up for Affiliate Programs: Register with Nigerian-friendly platforms like Jumia
Affiliate, Konga Affiliate, or Expertnaire.
Promote Strategically: Share your links on blogs, YouTube channels, or even TikTok and
Instagram Reels.
Focus on Hot Products: Recommend high-demand items like electronics, fashion, or beauty
products.
Example: “Ahmed in Kano started promoting Jumia deals on his WhatsApp and Instagram
accounts. By targeting electronics during seasonal sales, he earned over ₦200,000 in his first
month. Now, he trains others and earns commissions consistently, with monthly income
sometimes hitting ₦1 million.”

Engaging Story: “A young artist in Abuja earns thousands every month from a song he uploaded
on Boom play two years ago. That’s the magic of royalties!”

work. This could be your music, books, or even a local drama script.”
Steps: Create a Product: Record a song, write a book, or produce a video series.
Distribute Strategically: Use platforms like Boomplay, Okadabooks, or Audiomack to reach
3
Nigerian audiences.
Earn Long-Term: Watch the money roll in every time someone streams, downloads, or
purchases your work.
Example: “Kemi, a gospel musician from Lagos, uploaded her debut album on Boomplay and
Audiomack. She didn’t have a record label, but her songs went viral, and she now earns monthly
royalties of over ₦500,000. She’s also been invited for shows, further boosting her income.”

Bonus Tip: Invest in Cooperatives and Savings Groups
Engaging Question: “What if there was a safe, community-driven way to grow your money?
Let’s talk about cooperatives.”
Explanation: “In Nigeria, ajo and esusu are more than just savings methods—they’re tools for
building wealth. Many cooperatives also invest in businesses, yielding profits for members.”
Steps: Find Trusted Groups: Join local ajo groups or cooperatives with a strong reputation.
Contribute Consistently: Commit to regular contributions to build trust and earnings.
Reinvest Wisely: Use your returns to fund other passive income ventures.
Example: “John, a mechanic in Ibadan, joined a local ajo group where he contributed ₦5,000
monthly. After two years, he had enough savings and a loan from the cooperative to start his
own car repair shop. His shop now generates over ₦3 million annually.”
