SIDE HUSTLE















 BY: OGUNTOLA RASHEEDAT OJUOLAPE 

   Life in Nigerian universities is not limited to books and lectures. To a significant number of the students, it also includes finding the means that will cover food, data, and sometimes tuition expenses.

   The hairstylists on campus just need hair making materials and their magical hands, to make a woman more beautiful, through several hairstyles that fit the individuals' aesthetics.

  There are chefs, bakers, and the likes, who serve justice to taste buds. They are the life savers on campus. Unless you have placed your small chops or food orders from any of them, then you are not a typical Nigerian university student.

  The other category is the fashion hustlers. There are sellers that sell drip on WhatsApp statuses, and those who sew clothes.  One good suit, and there will be a flow of more money than their pocket money. 

  And of course, the tech and digital gurus cannot be left out in this recognition. They are doing freelance work, creating websites, video editing, or creating social media pages. In the library with you they will be, but as you cram, they will be cashing out in dollars.

  The campus hustle is a testament to students' resourcefulness, versatility, perseverance, and commitment towards success. It is a definition of ventures Nigerian students can successfully thrive in, beyond the four walls of lecture rooms.

  Can you introduce yourself in the comment section, via your side hustle?
