Hello family hope you are all doing well, I would be sharing on memories of how some student survive and my reason for putting some is because not all student do this the engage in various things, why not go further with me.
So as I said earlier I would be sharing with us and at the same time show us those things that we student sell to survive here in school, I can not possible cover all the means but the little I got has taught me many things so far. The first is the sells of sweet, one of my course mate is actually the one selling this one she normally brings mixture of different sweet which students usually likes and they patronize on a daily basis, she was not shy of holding it around and I admire that about her.
The next item that I would be displaying is the sells of washing soap for kitchen utensils, even though this one is not shown in a more transparent rubber but the lady of who selling it never hastes to tell any one who looks at the rubber twice that she is selling hand made washing soap for your plates and pots, surprisingly it is very affordable for the students she sells it #200 per container. This are one of the things that instead of begging money around we sell to save up for one or two that we might buy.
The next item for display is what we student like eating to keep our mouth busy we call it Aya and groundnut, this ones are affordable plus most students engage in selling it in this place because they feel it sells faster and student usually patronize it even though to me the gain inside such business is not much but then again this is what we do to survive or make ends meet.
The next up for grab is shoe making infact most students makes shoes because I meet different person's who wants me to patronize their shoe business, some have where they learn and also work after school while some do it from their comfort zone which we call a house, the make this shoes on demands or the make it in different size, design and texture after which they take it around or anywhere they are going for people to see, be aware that they sell such and eventually buy from them, this is one of the business am sure with my estimate that it has reasonable gain in it, well another thing to note is that some students buy these shoes from those shops in a whole price and add their own gain to resell to us so it is a two way thing.
The next that is up for grab is perfume business, this one is a big brand which some carry in a rubber and this ones are they oily perfume while some carry it in a bag containing different types of perfume with big big prices, for those who wants to smell nice and knows the value of their body patronize those kinds so this is obviously a kind of business that we student engage in that fetches us money.
The second to the last is kambar that is the name they call it here, it is made from sweet potatoes which is been cooked peeled, dried up and later tied in a leather. By mere seeing it and hearing what it was called I never knew it was potatoes but the process it followed is really a marvel to me like what don't we eat in this world, but people can create oooh anyways that is that for that.
The last up for grab is hair making mostly occupied by the females, you find plenty people making hair for money but only few make fine hair Sha because I actually like neat, fine and good hair on some one's head so some claim to plait but to me not every hands fits my hair may be that is why am pickie on who should make my hair, so making hair is really a good business because you do not think of Capital or any thing if you have the skill you take the bag home.
Before dropping the mic which is actually my pen I want to give a big shout out to every student seeing this post, it hasn't been easy but we know God would see us through, this is much memories of student survival skills in school and I thought to share it with you all, sometimes profit might not be much but the honesty in what matters alot.

Your post is very nice friend, because it reflects the reality of many and not only in your country, but in the world; here in Colombia it happens in many homes that children work to help with household debts or simply to meet important needs such as food mainly. I admire the humility of those who in their schools, jobs or in the street, make of any idea a business to survive, certainly as you say, some are not profitable, others yes, but honesty attracts sales and we must always entrust each venture to God so that everything flows and so we see the profit. To you and all those you know who work this way to be able to pay for what they need, my blessings, you are heroes and if you stay on the path of good, God will always provide for you πβ€οΈ.... Big Hugs, your post is the voice of millions who must work Monday to Monday to live well... You Absolutely Rockkk!!! πππ₯πΈβ€οΈ
