The growing rate of unemployment in Nigeria is alarming. Every year, more people graduate from the university, and end up joining the ever-increasing labour market. The way Nigerians embraced ponzi schemes shows the dire need to break out from poverty and what we all know as "recession". Everybody seems to agree that things are hard in Nigeria because of the high cost of living. So, for everybody that wants to earn extra cash, stay-home mom, student, corp member, graduate and those that wish to have a side job, here are 15 jobs you can do from home.

1. Dry-cleaning:
For those of you that stay home all day, most times all you do is just wash clothes. Most times you do a lot of laundry for yourself and other family members, so why not earn from it? Meet some neighbors, a few busy people around you, offer to do their laundry for them, do it well, deliver it and get some cool extra cash.

2. Makeup Artist:
Oh yes! I have a friend that is a stay-home mom. In the mornings, she prepares her kids for school and  then she starts her makeup for picking them up from school. So every weekday, all she does is wake, send kids to school, makeup, bring kids back from school. What are you doing with all that expensive makeup in your makeup bag? Use it and earn some cool cash. It's not all about making snapchat videos and posting slay pictures with captions like, "brows on fleek", "shadows popping" "lipstick dripping" "makeup on fleek". It's time to make somebody's face to be on fleek too. Grab your mom, sister or friend and give them that banging makeover you always give yourself. You can also do makeup tutorial videos with your phone or camera.

3. Private Tutor:
When I left secondary school, while I waited for my admission, I can remember teaching French to some people and I got real cash from it. It's quite simple, basically helping kids understand what they didn't understand in school. Some children are slower than others and need special attention to catch up to others in a certain area. You just need to come in a few hours a week and teach them. The good thing is that you can have different kids from different families and they pay you differently. Imagine getting 10-50k from 4 or 5 different families, depending on how much you agree on, do the math. These people earn more than regular teachers and they also have a flexible time-table too.

4. Personal Trainer:
This  is for you the workout freak with banging abs and biceps. You're a pro at this workout thingy, so why not help someone lose weight or stay fit?  You really don't have anything to lose, you're working out as you teach, so you're still in shape. Look at that new mom next door that wants to get her model figure back, that Oga struggling with pot belly, or that kid with low self-esteem because of their excess weight, all of them are potential clients. Help them lose some pounds and get a few extra bucks along the way.

So, you have a laptop, all you use it to do is watch movies, play video games and listen to music. I didn't know graphics designing was quite lucrative until I started blogging, these people wanted to bury me with outrageous prices. So, as broke as I was, I got pissed! I sat at my laptop all day till I figured out how to do my blog logo and all my graphics myself. You can put to use all that computer school knowledge right now. I know it's a bit deeper than that but you have to start somewhere and learn the ropes from there.
