Are you thinking of learning craft work or thinking of apprenticeship? Then you need to check this list of 15 high paying vocational skills in Nigeria. Although there are hundreds of skills you can learn and make money but why these “15 skills”?
Well, I’m not saying other vocational skills are not useful or low paying skills. But this list is a complete observations of most-wanted skills in Nigeria. If you’re new to this term, you might be asking….
What is Vocational Skill?
It is simply a skill that doesn’t require “formal education”.
Vocational skills are acquired by learning from an experienced master and sometimes, you don’t need writing materials before you can learn it, as it requires your total focus, determination and brain only.
It’s generally called “informal education”. That it, the type of education you received without sitting in the four-walls of a building – School.
There are many skills available in Nigeria and the world at large, some require lots of formal education while the rest requires little to no formal education — this is where vocational skills in Nigeria comes in.
Not everyone has the privilege of going through formal schools, others who started couldn’t keep up with the financial requirements for many reasons. Does that mean they can’t have a career and earn good money? No!
And I’ve personally seen most people doing the two at a go – I mean going to school for formal education and at the same time, learning a vocational skills simply because “formal education in Nigeria is not impressing us as expected (No jobs) but vocational skills saves us a lot”.

With that in might, I’m sure you understand the reason why having one or two vocational skills in Nigeria is important? Today, there are many skills you can learn and start earning good money for yourself.
Now, let quickly dive into main context of this blog post;
Top 15 paying vocational skills in Nigeria
Fashion Design:
Speaking of design, the first high paying vocational skill in Nigeria is Fashion Design.
This proves my point on the importance of branding and packaging in today’s world. Just like some digital designer is needed for graphics, so is one needed in the world of Fashion.
The fashion industry in Nigeria at present is one of the best performing industries for sometimes now, this goes to show the amount of money pumped in so far.
You can join the likes of Duro Olowu, Folake Folarin-Coker and many others who have made their mark in the Nigerian fashion industry.
2. Photography:
Photography is another top paying vocational skill in Nigeria today. We all know what photography is all about but have you wondered how photographers earn? I guess you haven’t.
Photography lets you earn your money as much as you want to, you determine how high you want to earn.
Although many have complained of how saturated the industry is presently, it’s still a skill worth knowing.
3. Hair Dressing or Barbing Saloon
If you are a hair dresser, a barber or a hair stylist, then your skill is among the top paying vocational skills in Nigeria.
I have a friend who’s currently in college — a state university in the southern part of Nigeria, this guy pays his rent, fees/dues, feeding and more through his hair cut business.
There are many more out there who are even doing better than this.
People are more enlightened on grooming and the importance to take care of the hair — both male and female. Armed with this information, people tend to care for their hair regularly, some weekly, bi-weekly, monthly etc.
4. Catering:
Okay who doesn’t like food? Or who doesn’t like to eat?
Have you tried staying a day without eating asides fasting? We all like to eat and caterers make delicious delicacies for all and sundry.
Since food is a necessity for all living things including humans, caterers are as important as food in an economy, and you know what, people pay good money to consume great food. Consequently, Caterers makes our list of top vocational skills in Nigeria
5. Makeup / Make over:
The above terms are two skills that perform almost similar functions. Those in the Makeup/Makeover industry aren’t left out of the top paying vocations.
It’s a known tradition in Nigeria and many other countries to host weddings and other events on a Saturday, I don’t know how many events or weddings happen on a Saturday but I know for sure that a lot do happen and lots of makeups and make overs occurs on that day.
Also, you can get a look-in in the movie industry, your services are highly needed.
6. Automobile Servicing:
Automobile servicing got to do with cars and your ability to fix little hitches that pop up now and then.
Luckily for automobile engineers, smart gadgets have been invented to aid in the detection of certain faults which should make your work easier.
There are lots of cars this days in the country and their owners pay to get them serviced from time to time.
7. Interior Design:
Design again make our list, this time — interior design. You may not be well acquainted with what this vocation is all about.
An interior designer is charged with the responsibility of taking care or design of the interiors of a building so as to offer satisfaction to the users of such building. An interior designer is tasked with researching, designing and implementation of various designs on a building.

Although not quite popular worldwide, the services of an interior designer is needed in many English speaking countries including Nigeria and guess what, they’re paid well.
8. Manufacturing:
This vocational skill in Nigeria particularly requires creativity, and lots of it. Manufacturing may take different shapes and forms.
You choose what you want to make, put a design around it and make it come alive.
This may not be an easy vocation to learn and do, but if you persevere, you’ll reap lots of financial benefits.
9. Welding and Fabrication:
Another top vocational skill that pays is welding which goes evenly with fabrication. If you haven’t considered this skill, you should start now, you can learn this skill without a formal education as a requirement.
Once you’ve acquired this skill, you could start earning straight away because the market isn’t much saturated with welders. All construction companies certainly will need the services of a welder who knows his onions!
Furthermore, with capital and dedication, you could start up your own firm, employ and trains others in the long run.
Most buildings in the country requires lots of iron works, if you could weld and fabric metals then you can earn lots of money.
10. Bricklaying:
Bricklaying! We all know about it, this is one vocational skill in Nigeria that can fetch you consistent income if you’re good at it. A huge percentage of the houses being built this are made of brick or concrete, although in some other climes wood is used.
Bricklaying is one easy vocation to grasp within a short frame of time, after which you can start earning money almost every single day. In other to earn more in this vocation, you need to be connected to those in your field so as to avail yourself to any job openings.
In this vocation I’ve not got a chance to hear the phrase “Expert Bricklayer”, maybe there is — do let us know if you’ve heard or seen.
11. Carpentry:
Woodwork! That’s what comes to mind when we talk about carpentry. I’ll say everyone is a carpenter in some way. Almost everybody knows how to use the two main tools of a carpenter — hammer and nail. We all know how to drive a nail through wood, brick or concrete using the hammer.
Have you thought about roofing a simple building? No you can’t do it if you’re not a pro, and even if you do, the structure may not last as that you would get from a professional — that’s why we pay professional carpenter to work on our roofing or other carpentry related jobs.
12. Plumbing:
Another top skill in this list is plumbing. So what makes plumbing a highly paid vocational skill in Nigeria?
Simple! Building are erected around the world on a daily basis, water and gas pipe gets broken now and then due to pressure and other effects. Plumbers are needed in the planting of pipes in buildings for several purpose like flow of water, gas, drainage or other chemicals.

Since this market isn’t highly saturated, plumbers tend to earn pretty good money for their services.
13. Tiling:
One good vocation that still pay, and will continue paying is tiling. Most modern houses, in fact, in almost all new buildings tiles are being used for both interior and exterior designs.
Asides building, you can see most furniture with a slab of tiles on them. Table tops, stools and similar furniture items seem to come alive when tiled.
More and more people will continue to use tiles for several purposes and if you have this skill, bear in mind that there’s potential to keep earning.
14. Painting:
Welcome to the world of colours! Painting as we all know gives a house in different look. One might think painting is pretty much easy but no…! it’s not all rosy.
As a painter, you’ll have to know colour like you know your fingers, what combination gives you what, using multiple colours in a building or a single colour, what type of paint would be suited for the job, and also how reduce waste.
A friend of mine who is into painting once told me that he’ll paint a house and there will be no droplets on rug, it sounded like a difficult task to me but after he was done. I saw the difference between a professional and an amateur painter, this guy has this as his primary source of income and he’s earning well.
15. Electronics and Electrical Installations:
Truth be told, not everyone knows how to install their electronic gadgets and get them up and running, but we all know how to operate our electronic devices.
Learning to install these devices is pretty much easy, although they’re lots of varying electronics out there, their method in setting up is quite similar.
As a person with this skill, there’s a huge potential to earn more cash as more sophisticated electronic devices are being manufactured for both individuals and companies.
In fact, electrical or electronic installation can’t be overridden in the list of high paying vocational skills in Nigeria. But some folks are afraid getting shocked by electricity or even struck by it, which may lead to death.
Well, it has its risks and also paying. But the risks can be lessen or avoided if you’re taking the right precautions.
Rounding Off – Top Paying Vocational Skills in Nigeria

7 Super Professional Tips to Build a Successful Business in 2022

Published
1 year agoon
December 21, 2021It is a new year and you’ve been thinking of how you can build a successful business but don’t know how or where to start. Let’s talk about that and see if you’ll learn something, or be inspired.
Some businesses fail because they’re following old blueprints which no longer work effectively to build their startup.
We’ve learned a lot between 2020 and 2021, and we’ve seen how businesses are affected by the ongoing Corona Virus pandemic. But ideas to start or build a business are waxing stronger in us, how are we going to bring these ideas to reality?
But is 2022 the right time to start a business?
Yes, it’s never too late to start a business in 2022 and you are still going to see rapid growth if you put in all the efforts.
Regardless of the Coronavirus and its variants, you’ll agree with me that starting and building a business these days is easier compared to a few years ago as a result of technology and more investors who’re ready to provide capital for a futuristic business plan.
According to a report, investors spent more than $140 billion to support startups in 2017 and the figures have increased ever since then till date. This shows how people like you are creating something or a platform that solves a ‘problem’ and how people are ready to support it.
If you’re also planning to launch your startup, you’re welcome, it’s never too late to be phenomenal.
Aside from investors who’re ready to invest, you don’t necessarily need to build your business by renting a big hall or apartment for office use, thanks to COVID-19, you can gather your team and work remotely, while you’re saving a lot of money that will go into office setup.
If you have a good business plan or startup idea and you’re worried about what to do next, the following tips will help you get started;
7 Tips to Build a Business in 2022
#1. Do Your Research and Understand Your Mission
You see, a lot of people see other people building stuff and they got jealous to build something too – this is a wrong motivation to start a business.
You have to think clearly about what you want to do, you ask yourself: “In what way(s) can this idea or business help people?” – emphasize “help people”.
If you want to start a fashion design company, do your research thoroughly and understand that you’re about to build a type of business some people have built already. So, how are you planning to get better and beat your competitors?
For instance, can you think of a unique fashion trend and dominate it for the long term? If yes, what fashion trend and how can you hit the market with your idea?
You have to plan all these, you just don’t voluntarily jump into the ocean without knowing if it’s safe or not. If it’s not safe, then how are you going to survive?
#2. Get a Team Members with Common Goals
The spirit of being the CEO and (sole) founder is part of what’s killing some businesses and startups to date. I’m not saying you can’t build a business alone, you can! But you can’t survive alone. If you survive alone, you won’t go far alone.

People (Team) Working Together – Credit: Pexels.com
You have to understand this concept. If you read about big business builders in the world, you’ll notice one thing that’s very common to them – they don’t build alone!
Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, etc., will tell you that they called their friends when they were about to start their company. Why? It’s simply because they need teammates who can work with them to achieve their primary and respective goal(s).
The reason is simply that if one is falling, another person will lift him. And this boils down to you looking and calling the right people to join you or else if you fall, that’s the end of the business.
So look for the right people in your circle, during meetups, on social media, share the business idea with them and be patient to see those who’ll be ready to join you.
Getting team members here is different from hiring people. You have to look for someone or some people who’re ready to take ownership of the business and work diligently.
They can in turn be your co-founder, CTO, etc… Just make sure you’re careful and patient enough to see someone with the same common goal.
#3. Start Building with the Little You Have:
You know the type of business you want to build and you have someone or some people who are ready to work with you. The next thing is to start building that business with the little resources you have.
The mistake most people make is that they’re waiting for the “perfect time” and that time translate to when they have sufficient money to invest in the business. The truth is that that perfect time won’t come unless you start now.
And I will like to say this if you’re starting a new business but you don’t have money to invest personally, you’re still not going anywhere. It’s either you get a job, make money and come back to that idea or, you sell the business idea to someone else.
The bottom line is that you have to start from you, even if you will need investors to inject capital into your business, you have to show them something – your ideas + efforts.
#4. Create Good Information and Communication Flow
As part of what you’re starting with, is how you can bridge the communication gap between your business and your target audience (investors included). That’s why you need to invest in creating that information and communication flow.
This is not a big deal at all, you just need to create an online presence for your business by getting a website, getting on social media, and investing in Email marketing or CRM tools.
If you can’t build the website yourself, you can hire freelancers to get the job done for you, there are free email marketing tools like MailChimp that you can get started with. You can hire an expert to manage your business’s social media handles for you too. The person will be in charge of content creation, posting, and attending to comments.
Having a website is very important, if it’s just a landing page, do it and let people know about your business from there and use your social media handles to keep telling people about your mission, not that loudly tho.
#5. Start Expanding the Business
You’ve tried a lot, but it’s not the time to relax. It’s time to start thinking of expansion. I mean expansion at all lengths.
If you launch your business to focus on people in Canada and they accept it with open hands, it’s time to expand to New York, and then to Paris, to Africa, etc.
In your team as well, you need to have some people who will be in charge of marketing, human resources, engineering, international relation, legal, and many departments within your company.
With great power comes greater responsibility, the more you’re growing, the more you should expand.
But what if your company can’t afford to hire people you need to run the business as you’re thinking of expanding, is that the end? No, it’s not!
#6. It’s time to Seek Business Funding
This is not a must if your business can afford to finance itself, but I bet it can. As a startup that’s at the entry or expansion stage, you need money to take care of a lot of things and some people are ready to provide that money!
There are people called Angel investors and some are called Venture capitalists, these people are in the business of investing in other businesses to make a profit. No money is too big to invest for VCs as long as your company’s evaluation is also big.
If you think your business need funding, kindly check this blog post on how to get one for your business.
#7. Don’t Stop Expanding; Invest More in Your Business
You’re not there yet. Start investing more in advertising, your team members, think of innovation and, acquire other related small businesses.
Just don’t stop growing!
I hope these tips will help you start that business in 2022 and I believe you can conquer the world, don’t worry, start today!

MTN’s IPO: How to Buy MTN Shares with less than N50,000

Published
1 year agoon
December 3, 2021Here is your time to shine, you can now buy MTN shares and join the leagues of MTN shareholders in Nigeria.
Nigeria’s telecommunication giant, MTN Nigeria recently announced the selling of 575 million of its shares to the public on Tuesday, November 30th, 2021. Just in case you don’t know what “shares” is, let’s me quickly tell how it works;
What are Shares?
Share simply means a percentage of ownership in a company. Those who hold these shares are called “shareholders” and you can also call them “investors”.
What that simply means is that, let’s say you buy MTN shares, you have a percentage of every percentage of the company. If the stock rises, your share rises and vise versa.
How Shares Work?
