Christmas is coming, New Year is coming. In fact, from the 1st of December to the end of it, it is all about the festive period and 99% of us are thinking about;
- What are we going to buy?
- How are we going to enjoy ourselves?
- How are we going to catch fun?
- Where are we going to celebrate?
Such kind of thinking is associated with Spending.
This world is divided into two groups of people; the 1% that controls 99% of the wealth of the world.
While the remaining 99% of us fight and struggle to be among the 1%.
The reason for such dichotomy is attitude and mindset!
Just like this period, the vast majority of people are thinking about how they are going to celebrate, pleasure themselves, buy, and be in the mood of merry.
But you must understand that this is the period where most people, unlike in the past 11 months, will be accessible to buy.
To the extent that people can buy a stick just for the “colorful sake”.
That is why advertisers spend the most money this period, offline and online advertising. Just so they can get you to buy.
While the manufacturers, on the other hand, are going to produce like never before, just so the 99% of people can buy.
And this period also goes beyond just buying. If you research the population properly, you will discover that most children are born in August.
And August just happened to be nine(9) months away from December.
Meaning this period is like the ovulatory period of a woman, many things are bound to happen.
And because this article focuses on the business aspect, we are going to stick to that.
First of all, before I start listing the most profitable businesses that can guarantee you 1 million Naira this December in Nigeria, I want you to deliberately decide to change your attitude and mindset from the 99% to the 1% that controls 99% of the wealth in this world.
Start thinking of what to sell. Because this period of the year is the wealth incubation period.
With little or no advertising, you can be assured of still having good sales and returns.

It is not a mistake that the clothes business is number one on the list. That is because it has been one of the most sold commodities during this period over time.
It sells second to food items if not more.
And it doesn’t matter if the clothes are second-used or substandard. As long as it fits the taste of this modern age, it will sell beyond your imagination.
If you choose this business as your chosen business for this month, I advise you buy in Large quantities.

2. Barbing Business
Barbing is among the underrated business in Nigeria.
But the truth is, this business can make you a millionaire in less than two months if you are skillful enough.
There was a barber in my area that was making roughly over 30k daily (before December) back then before he relocated
But during December each of his workers generates nothing less than 15k each (after their percentage deduction). And he had 3 workers. Do the math and see the surprise there.
The only requirement for this business is skill and good customer service.
With those two advantages over your competitors, you have the market at your fingertips.

This includes foodstuff and livestock.
As the saying goes; “there is no festive celebration without killing something or eating at least rice”.
Going into this business is like selling ice during the summer season.
You are definitely going to get customers even if you decide to sell them from your house and your house happens to be inside the forest.
As long as people live around that same forest you will get patronage.
The only requirement for this business is to buy good food items— If that is what you decide to focus on.
But if it is livestock, buy the ones that are healthy and not sick or affected by any diseases.

5. POS Business
No exchange takes place without legal tender (money).
And this period is when more money is being spent compared to the previous months of the year.
In this same period, the banks have been well known to be a disappointment, because of their consistent out-of-cash, long queues (ATM stand inclusive), and bad Network
So many people seek alternatives, such as trying to run a cashless economy or bribing their way into the hearts of bank cashiers just to bypass the queue.
Even at that, customers still get disappointed, with the bad and slow response bank network.
So for that reason, POS is seen as the only best alternative.
And that is where you come in.
Setting up a POS stand is not difficult but it would have been better if you had started processing it from the banks or this new fin-tech firm in November.
Nevertheless, pos business is indeed a booming business this period and more booming from 24th to 31st December.
This business can pay you close to 2 million just in December.

Taxi business is a Jackpot business during this period.
In fact, you will be the one running away from trips unlike in previous months when you were begging for trips.

When I say big, I mean a guaranteed sum of 40k daily (Due to the surge in price and demand for rides)
All that is required for this business is to have a good car and sign up with one or all of the ride-hailing services such as Bolt, Uber, RideMe, Drop, etc.

9. Cement Depot
There has always been a high demand for cement and other building materials during this period.
The reason is that most uncompleted house owners try to rush things, to start the new year with a housewarming.
And on the other hand, most old house owners will want to renovate.
In any of these cases, one thing is certain, cement and other house-building materials must be in high demand.
Entry into this business now might not be too late if you intend entry with large capital.
But it doesn’t mean those with small capital can’t do something, they can, but not as much as someone who goes into it with large capital.
This business also requires knowledge from those already into it, or else you might wake up one day and discover all your cement bags have hardened.
So before you choose this business, look for someone who is already in the business (definitely not in the location you desire to open yours) to teach you.
