But seriously, 400k naira? There’s a lot you can do.
Learn a skill & hustle locally: Barbing, for example. Learn it, get the equipment and offer home services in your estate or nearby. Steady cash.
Crypto (if you’re patient)
You could buy a couple Solana if you’re thinking long-term. Realistically though, you might only see a 3x after 4-5 years, not ideal, but it’s something.
But if you learn the trenches, memecoin trading, you could get lucky. Catch a coin under 1M market cap, ride it to 100M+, and that 400k becomes life-changing money. High risk, high reward. Not for the faint-hearted.

Poultry or fisheries
Buy some chicks now, raise them and sell as broilers before Easter. Good margins if you manage it well. Fisheries too.
Trade & flip
Buy foodstuff in bulk and sell in your area for 40-50% ROI. Or partner with an Aboki trader, invest with him and split profits.
Small food business
Indomie and shawarma in your hood. Low startup, high demand.
Sports betting (risky)
A 2-odd bet, maybe Djokovic could maybe win a set could flip 400k to 800k. But it’s gambling, not guaranteed.
You only have one 400k and you probably have to get right, there’s a lot you can do.
