Expectations might slumber and outcomes might be against you especially early this new year when everything seems dry.


The reason to this being that it is the necessary period to source for school fees(for childern) and other dues to start a new year with.


In Nigeria the hustle is real that's why you see parents do any kind of odd job just for their kids to 'feel among'. Mothers are certainly the best, she goes an extra mile to make sure she is deprived to cater for her child.


Apart from such, there are many ways inwhich money can be spent. Businesses are of classes and types, suitable for the class of the individual manning such. In one of my article, i listed about 10 businesses one need to start this year with just N100,000.

That amount of money isn't one you might normally have ready at home. This means you need to get funds whatsoever way.

Funding your motives might be tricky if you haven't a guide to lead you through. One need to know the different channels through which money need to be raised - especially when big funds are required. You should have heard about loans!


People would naturally refer you to get loans if you request money from them. Heard of Ren money quick loan? This is the new trending loan platform in Lagos. There are other loans platform you can apply for once you navigate through the bank & money section of this forum.


Loan merchants require you have some form of collatoral - what if you have none?

These instances could be seen in most youths who as at the start of their grown-up life have nothing to offer. Young graduates from school face this kind of challenge aswell.

You can get your needed funds through crowdfunding without any collateral!
