Snail Farming 

Another business idea, cheaper than the rest, in terms of capital required is snail farming. Internet facts say that the snail business has extensive opportunities but is neglected. It also is a good farming idea to earn money in a short period of time.

But before jumping into this, it is important to do thorough research regarding snail farming business. Since by some generalized facts snails happen to be expensive to eat and are very dormant during the dry season, thus become scarce.

Education is a necessity but Education has also become expensive. With an Adult Literacy rate of 62.02% in Nigeria, a major part of the population slips through the cracks and lives up to be uneducated pupils.
