We cannot deny the high rate of unemployment in Nigeria today. A lot of people are left without jobs, especially with the 2020 pandemic. Nonetheless, there are lucrative businesses you can start with little or no capital here in Nigeria! I know to most, it sounds bizarre and ridiculous, but it is true.
The truth is that there are a lot of opportunities in Nigeria and all we have to do is search for these opportunities and the rest is history. Some advantages to these lucrative businesses are:
- You put your destiny in your own hands. No one can tell you what to do when you are your boss.
- Opportunity to grow and build a brand for yourself when running your own business, you are building a brand.
- It allows you to get rich. You have the opportunity to impact the economy by creating jobs and providing a livelihood for other Nigerians.
With these advantages and more, you can see that a business especially a lucrative one is very important and beneficial to an individual and the economy at large.
Now that you must have known some key advantages to a lucrative business, let me educate you on some lucrative businesses you can start with little or no income in Nigeria…
21 Lucrative Businesses You Can Start With Little or No Income in Nigeria
1. Blogging
Blogging has earned a place amongst the most lucrative businesses in Nigeria. Because of globalization, a lot of people prefer sourcing for news and the latest gossip from the internet. As you must know, bloggers make money through direct advertisement, ad networks, affiliate marketing, product sales, sponsored posts, partnership, and many more. Take for instance the famous female Nigerian blogger, Linda Ikeji, who started blogging in 2006 and became an active blogger in 2007 using a blogger sub-domain. Now she is the richest blogger in Nigeria earning at least N50,000,000 a month.
On average, high-end bloggers makeover N20,000,000 every month in Nigeria. It is easy to start with very small capital. To start a self-hosted blog will cost you about N4,000 for the domain name and N27,000 for hosting for a year. You pay both for a year. That is just less than N35,000 to start a business that can make you N20,000,000 every month.
2. Furniture Business
The good thing about this business is that people will always use furniture. People seat, sleep, write, cook, etc on furniture. So why not start up a little furniture business to get more money?
You can open up a little carpentry shop with as little as N10,000. All you have to do is get the required tools and a plank of good wood, make a piece of furniture, put it on display, and let the beauty of that product speak for your pocket. I do not know anyone who started a furniture business and did not go far.
Furniture is an essential commodity and you can earn a minimum of N10,000 depending on your location and high demand for furniture in your area.
3. Social Media Marketing
With so many people spending most of their time on social media, it has to be among the most lucrative businesses in Nigeria. Social media marketing is all about using the social media platform to find leads for businesses. You can work independently and help businesses make the best of social media or you can promote and sell products via social media.
Social media is a very large market and it is also a branch of digital marketing and marketing on this platform is lucrative and a profitable business in general. A social media marketer gets an average of N50,000 to N200,000 depending on the agreement on their pay. So, why not start marketing for small companies, a good place to get companies to market is on Linkedin, you will get a lot of companies especially if you input social media marketing into your profile and portfolio.
4. Dry Cleaning
The good thing about this business is that most people, especially busy workers rely on dry cleaners for their laundry needs. Companies and organizations make use of dry cleaning services very often.
Take, for instance, states like Lagos and Kano which have at least 10,000,000 million people, and at least 60% are busy workers who need dry cleaners at all times. Why not exploit this opportunity? This is a very lucrative side hustle where you earn a minimum of N5,000 a week if you are in the right location. So why not go for this…there is this lady who comes to my compound in school, every week and she gets at least N3,000 a day if there are a lot of people looking to get their clothes and rooms cleaned.
Dry cleaning is a very lucrative business and it does not even require any capital at all! All it requires is your manpower and willingness to work.
5. Carwash Services
The purchasing of cars in the country is very high and the car wash business is in high demand, therefore, starting this kind of business will bring in a large profit. The car wash business is fast rising in the country and some people started this with no capital today they have at least N40,000 in their account. This business that people overlook is lucrative.
You earn at least N2,000 a day. Too small you may think, but multiply N2,000 by 7, that’s N14,000. That means you earn N14,000 a week! Some days it may be less than N2,000 other days even higher. The bottom line is that the carwash business is a lucrative business that you can start with little or no capital in Nigeria.
6. Another Lucrative Business to Start With Little Income Is Hair Making
If you can make hair, then this lucrative business is a win for you. The good thing about this business is that it is not gender-based, although some people will say otherwise.
Hairdressing is one of those businesses you can start with little capital. You can start with a minimum of N20,000. All you need to do is get the required equipment like hair dryers, combs, hair creams, shampoos and conditioners, mirrors, chairs, some attachments amongst others. This is a very profitable business because women along with some men cherish and want to see their hair neat at all times. With this business, you can get a minimum of N50,000 only if you are in the right location with high demand for your services.
I have this friend who is into hairdressing. She makes wigs, plaits hair, and even does dreadlocks. She gets a minimum of N80,000 a month. Christmas period she gets at least N100,000 because of her services and her talent for making hair. My guys, you aren’t left out because I know some guys who have done my hair for me and I was so impressed with their work that I had to tip them.
If you can make hair as a talent, or know how to make hair as a skill then hairdressing is also a lucrative business you can start with little income in Nigeria.
7. P.O.S Business
A lot of people do not know the profits one makes from a P.O.S Business. You can cash out big time from this lucrative business, if you own your P.O.S stand, you serve as an agent for the bank whose P.O.S machine you are using and you can get an average of N50,000 depending on the bank. Or if you are a sales boy or girl working at a P.O.S terminal you can earn an average of N10,000 depending on how you agreed to be paid.
P.O.S business does not require much to start, the main thing is that it is one of those few businesses which requires putting little capital and watching your pocket grow over time. Looking for a lucrative business to start with little capital in Nigeria? P.O.S Business is it for you…
8. Agricultural Practices
One of the best ways to make money on a tight budget is to become a farmer. Now by reading this you would think I sound ridiculous. Well, I’m not. You won’t have to buy any piece of land for this and even if you don’t have access to good land, you can always start with a flower pot.
This is a very lucrative business because it gives you profit. In a country like Nigeria that is blessed with good soil and a lot of crops, one would say, exploit your opportunities. You can start with vegetables like waterleaf or go for other crops that cost less but grow fast and would require little attention. As time goes on you will be earning a million naira a year.
I have an uncle who harvests rice and he supplies 200bags of rice a year to local markets. Just imagine how much he makes a year, this business is good and lucrative, I for one would love to venture into this lucrative business.
9. Trading Cryptocurrencies
This is more like an investment that has the potential to make you rich, however, it is not a get-rich-quick scheme and you are less likely to make a profit in a matter of months.
While this business is lucrative, especially in the long run, it requires patience and tactics. You have to be patient, especiallywhen there is a little downfall (dip) in your transaction. If you are looking to only be buying and selling, it is also good especially when there is high demand and the cryptocurrency you are selling has a lot of value.
If you are great at this business, you can cash out on an average of N1,000,000 and build your portfolio quickly, however not the business for someone looking for quick cash, like I said earlier. Cryptocurrency is a lucrative business that requires a start-up capital of N100,000 if you are looking to go far as time goes on.
10. Selling Recharge Card
Selling a recharge card is one of the easiest businesses to start on a small budget. You can easily make a profit though it would be minimal, if you are selling at a busy terminal point, your turnover would be huge by the end of the month. You can get an average of N20,000 a month depending on your location some days you can even get as high as N50,000. Also, you could easily sell N10,000 worth of recharge cards in a day and count your profit.
To get started, you would have to get connected with a vendor and as time goes on, you can move to sell for mobile companies like MTN, Airtel, GLO, Etisalat… this is a lucrative business to start with little capital in Nigeria.
11. Photography
A lot of people may not know this, but photographers make a huge amount of money. One earns a minimum of N50,000 depending on the deal he or she is doing and how skilled that person is.
Photography is a very lucrative business and requires little capital to start. I have this friend who is into photography, he just recently got his camera and he told me that photography does not require much, just get the right camera and the right models or environment to snap and let your work speak for you.
12. Painting
Painting too is a very lucrative business to start with little or no capital in Nigeria, especially when you are talented in this area. A lot of unemployed people I know have turned to paint as their haven and it has proved to be very profitable to them.
A friend I know makes a minimum of N20,000 on each painting he sells, and this is because he is skilled in this area and he has used it to his advantage and he is gaining money. Painting is really good and is a lucrative business to start in Nigeria. You can take any of your paintings or drawings to an art gallery near you and strike a deal with them on payment and all and you have your money coming into your pocket with a sweat.
13. Acting as an Agent for Car Dealers
Selling cars is indeed a lucrative business that requires no capital at all! This is indeed a profitable business if I do say so myself. You don’t need much at all, all you need is a car stand owner to help market your cars and you get your cut on each car you sell.
You can get any amount of money in this business, you can get an average of N5,000 to millions if your deal is huge. I deal with cars and I can tell you that it is indeed a lucrative business to start in Nigeria with no capital at all. It also leads you to get to know more people thereby building connections and giving a higher knowledge 0ncars which works in your favor.
14. Writing
Writing to some is a skill while to others it’s a talent but only a few use it as a business tool. It gets you more money than you could ever imagine! Especially when it’s on sites that pay you well. It is very lucrative and enhances your skill in writing as you go on.
You can earn a minimum of N2000 a month or sometimes a week. Too small you may think, as you journey through writing, you enhance your writing skill and you get paid higher as time goes on. A site like a fiver pays well and is good for writers to start with.
15. Real Estate Agent
The land is the most valued asset in the world, everyone knows that, and earning money from the most valued asset in the world is a golden win. The amount of profits most realtors earn is most at times in millions, no matter the currency.
The land has never depreciated that is why most, if not all rich people invest in land, by building houses and giving it out for renting or buying lands and selling. A realtor can earn a minimum of a million depending on the deal, and mind you most land deals are always high, we talking of at least N100,000,000 for Nigeria at least. So you can imagine how huge your profit will be. And it does not even require any capital especially if you don’t have money at all. Just get acquainted with someone who owns an apartment complex and then helps them market and gets your cut. It is a very lucrative business, I have friends in this business and it has proved fruitful for them.
16. Food Business
Everyone loves food. Even those who claim to be on a diet have to eat. So this is enough opportunity to use to work for your pocket. There are a lot of food businesses in the country and it still is not enough because an average human is supposed to eat at least 6 times a day and we all have a preference of food we eat. So why not pick up a particular food or some foods to learn and use to make money.
To start this type of business is not hard when you have a food delivery company that helps you deliver your foodstuff to your doorstep. This business is indeed a lucrative business that requires little start-up capital in Nigeria.
17. Be a Cab Driver
Rent a car. A cab driver in Abuja earns an average of N12,000 every day. This business is worth giving a try by investors. You can register on any driving app like Bolt or even Uber.
This business is very lucrative and can earn you a lot of money. It is one of those few lucrative businesses in the country that you can start with no capital at all. All you need is a required car and the needed credentials.
18. Cake Production
Cake production is a profitable business in Nigeria that requires small capital. The cake is the most consumed baked snack in Nigeria. The demand for cakes especially at birthdays, weddings, events and anniversaries is very high. Cakes are very cheap to purchase.
The cost of starting this business all depends on how you want to get started. One can earn a minimum of N30,000 depending on the event of the day or of that time.
This is surely another lucrative business you can start with little or no capital in Nigeria.
19. Act as an Agent to Sell Gadgets
Technology is fast rising and the world is moving into the digital world rapidly. 90% of Nigerians own a gadget and 60% still want to buy more gadgets. Gadget business, be it phone, laptop or whatever is a lucrative business for serious mind understand the market and have a business idea.
Location of your phone shop matters a lot, try and site it where there is high demand and you can see yourself earning a minimum of N100,000.
20. Jewelry Business Agent
Jewelry business can be very profitable. Almost everyone, most especially ladies wears jewelry and it is a very good business to venture into.
The business is very easy to start, run and manage. It can be done either full time or part-time and most people who start this business usually don’t have money. They start as being salespeople to jewelry shops and get paid from there. One can earn an average of N30,000 depending on the type of jewelry being sold.
21. Gift Basket Packaging Service
If you have a flair for gifts and souvenirs why don’t you look for clients who could put together baskets that hold the things that people with this interest would like too!
With a capital of N50,000 – N100,000, you can start this business. Marketing your gift basket services is not a stressful task, especially online, just talk to friends and family to help spread the word on what you do, from there you find customers.
Bottom Line…
There is always a lucrative business, all that matters is your business plan and how well you strategize that plan.
Every small business is always lucrative only if you have the right resources like money, good location, and equipment. The country is hard and the last thing one needs is to be cashless in this time. Try looking for what works for you, all you have to do is find your preferred business and exploit every opportunity you get!

If it is one thing I love talking and writing about, it is on writing, especially when it can get you more money on writing than you could ever imagine! There are a zillion sites where you can get your article and books published on one is called Fiver, but did you ever know how to make money with Amazon publishing by yourself?
Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) is a platform where amateur writers and professional writers write and get their books published at a very low cost. With KDP, you can self-publish your book on Amazon and start making money in as little as 24 hours.
This platform is way better than the traditional method of publishing whereby you have to wait months or even years for your book to get published. To avoid all the stress of the traditional method of publishing you will get to understand how to make money from Amazon publishing as you go deeper into the article.
How to Make Money with Amazon Publishing
Amazon is not just an online retailer. It started as an online bookstore and building on those roots, is a book publisher as well. Unlike a traditional book publisher, though, where you need to persuade an acquisitions editor to offer you a contract to get a book published, anyone can self-publish a book on Amazon.
Some benefits to Amazon KDP are that:
- Amazon lets you keep more of your money. A lot more.
- With over a 90million prime subscribers in the U.S.A alone, Amazon’s kindle store reach is huge.
- Self-publishing with Amazon KDP is, positively, 100% free.
Another good thing about this Amazon KDP is that you can write on anything. Be it a children’s playbook, romance novel, or even a biography or a documentary.
Some ways how to make money on Amazon publishing include…
1. Researching and Identifying a Topic
The first step towards earning with Amazon kindle should be finding out what you want to write on. You have to make sure it is a topic people are eager to read and are willing to purchase.
One method of researching topics is keyword research to find out the types of resources that people are actively searching for on search engines. Another way to research the most profitable topics to write on is to plug in the search engine “Amazon Bestsellers” into the search engine, click on the results to see the popular topics, and consider writing a topic similar to the popular bestsellers.
By going about the above methods, you have made it easier to know what your readers want and how to make publishing and writing profitable to you.
2. Write a Good Book or Article
After you must have finished researching the topic you want to write on, the next thing is to start writing your book or article!
The first step towards writing a good book is getting a good structure. That is diving the book into chapters and also input your ideas and desired events into those chapters, that way you know how you want your book to be.
The same thing goes for an article, divide the structure into points, subtopics, and paragraphs and then you’re on your way to having a published article.
3. Format Your Book
Formatting your book is a very important aspect of the Amazon publishing platform. Amazon publishing has some stringent formatting rules that you must follow if you want your book to be published.
The reason for this is that Amazon wants to make sure that all her books are accessible from all devices, be it from a PC, smartphone, iPhone, or even an iPad or tablet. So you have to go along with all the guidelines for publishing.
4. Create a Good Book Cover
Generally speaking, why most books don’t sell is not because of their content but because of the cover page of the book. Readers are attracted to what they see and that light attracts them to read your book.
I mean, you can’t write a romance novel and the cover page has a knife, it does not make sense at all. There is someone I know who published 3 books on Amazon and he was paid 800 dollars he told me that what attracted his readers was not his book but his cover page that was where his market was, his cover page.
It is important to know that your book will appear in a feed with other people’s books, and often, when you put a lot of images together in a feed, the most appropriately designed one stands out.
So, to increase your chances of getting noticed on Amazon Kindle and make more money with Amazon publishing, you must and should pay attention to your cover design.
5. You Must Register On Amazon KDP
Now that you must have written your book, formatted it, and created a format page, the next step to making your money on Amazon KDP is to register to that platform. You have to register on the KDP.
Registering on this platform is not as complicated as you may think. All you need to do is enter either your email or phone number, then choose a password.
After you must have done that, a one-time password (OTP) will be sent to your mail or phone. After inputting the OTP, you will be redirected to a page to enter your contact address, payment details and sign a tax form. Once you must have done all these, your account will be created, and you’re ready to start publishing on Amazon!
It’s that simple, and once you have done this, you are on your way to making a huge amount of money for yourself.
6. Publish Your Book on Amazon
Like I have said, anyone can publish on Amazon and you can publish anything on Amazon. After you must have registered with Amazon KDP, you compete with other authors!
In addition, publishing a book on Amazon is not hard. From your dashboard, navigate to the “bookshelf” tab. From there, you will see an option to choose which book format you want to publish. Choose between paperback and eBook kindle, and the platform will redirect you to fill in the book’s details.
Furthermore, you can upload a book in Word or PDF format, or use the kindle creator tool to convert a book for publishing.
7. Write a Catching Book Description
When writing a book description, you have to pour your whole heart into it, boil your book down to its central topics, themes and purpose.
This description will inform every external eye on what your book is all about and what it entails. It will help you market your book, which is also your product. Make sure to give your readers a teaser, not the full plot though. Don’t forget you want them to be intrigued enough to purchase a copy and dive right into reading the book but don’t make it too informed that they can predict the end.
The trick behind writing a good description for Amazon publishing is that you need to write something interesting without necessarily divulging too much.
8. Work a Lot More
You may be thinking that after you must have made your first dollars from this platform, then that is all. No, that is not all, you need to remember that you are in competition with other skilled authors who make at least 2000 dollars a month so you have to work hard, enhance your skill, and learn from other authors.
If you are not interested in doing the necessary work, Amazon self-publishing may not be for you.
9. By Being Patient
To earn money not only from Amazon Publishing, you also have to be very patient. A few people will start making money with their little books, but for someone else, it may not be so and that is why you have to enjoy the process and also learn along the way. I mean your book will get purchased. Be patient.
In addition, being patient enables us to analyze things and situations beyond their face value. The resourcefulness, calm and empathetic behavior of patient people will make them very popular. There is a high chance of you eventually earning good money on the platform if you stay persistent.
Conclusion
Writing and getting your book published is a thing of joy for writers. Amazon KDP is a very lucrative platform to make easy cash with persistence and hard work. You can make as little as 100 dollars as starters and rise to at least 4000 dollars each month, only if you work towards that.
You can also decide to make this a side hustle and you see you will earn well because Amazon pays in dollars and the dollar is higher than our Nigerian currency, so why not jump on the train and earn a lot of funds from this jaw-breaking opportunity.
The steps and ways to make the money on Amazon KDP are all listed above, what is stopping you from making your money in action!

How much of what you learned at school do you use in your daily life? The truth is, not much I believe. The society we live in is programmed to teach us the academic aspect of life, not the real meaning of life and how to handle it. The standard narrative of society is geared towards specializing in a subject and then making a career out of it. The school we claim to have very good degrees in does not do the part which is to teach life changing skills to learn along your journey through life.
But then, the good part of this is that there is a life-changing skill to learn even though you are not in school or have no degree in any academic institution.
A lot of people have gone through a lot in life which has made them have a lot of experiences and life-changing skills to learn along the way in life. This article seeks to tell you life changing skills that you won’t learn in school.
7 Life Changing Skills You Won’t Be Taught in School
1. What to Do When You Fail
Losers quit when they fail. Winners fail until they succeed.
Robert Kiyosaki
One life lesson the school won’t teach you is how to fail. Academic institutions are only programmed to teach what they know and make sure students pass. Most at times, people who fail or take a lower position in the class or the school, in general, are seen as failures and are stigmatized. Schools never teach kids to embrace failure and see it as a learning process.
You should see the process as more than a stroke of bad luck because, in the actual sense, it is not. Failure should be seen as:
It is part of a learning process
It can’t be avoided, so there is no point in trying to do so.
Don’t give up at the first hurdle, most people quit just before they’re about to succeed.
2. How to Manage Your Finances
Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship.
Benjamin Franklin
The truth is, schools don’t teach students how to make money work for them, instead, they only teach how to work for money by getting a job in an organization.
Managing your expenses is another important life-changing skill that schools don’t teach but is very essential. Managing finances like saving, investing, and even making money as a whole is a must-know in the long run of your life.
This point entails things like paying yourself first (saving) and putting your money to work for you (investment). This way, you learn and gain more knowledge from this even though you were not thought in school.
There are so many platforms that you can save your money on or where you can make money for free.
3. How to Think Long-Term
Our struggles are the short-term lessons we learn to achieve long-term success.
Simon Sinek
The truth is that because of what we were thought in school, most of us don’t have an idea on how to plan ahead or even know how to save and live for the long run. Most people don’t even know what the long run is! This is an issue because not planning can jeopardize your future and everything you have ever worked for.
Another thing school won’t teach is planning for the long run. Since school won’t teach you this, it’s up to you to teach yourself. Planning for the long term has to do with setting goals each day that can lead to what you want to achieve later on in life. Also, it entails setting time limits for yourself and working towards those times set for you.
4. Schools Won’t Teach You How to Start a Business
The biggest risk of all is not taking one.
Melody Hobson
Starting a business and being an entrepreneur are the same thing and this is a life-changing skill one has to know and learn more about. Many people don’t know what to do as a new business owner or how to use digital marketing in their business. Since schools don’t teach this life-changing skill, it should be noted that starting and owning a business has its ups and downs which most business people never really talk about.
Owning and starting a business entails budgeting, taking calculated risks, and seeing losses as a means to start again. Being an entrepreneur is not easy, to say the least, but in the long run, it is one thing that pays off only if you are consistent in what you are doing and keeping the business running.
5. Knowing Oneself
With the realization of one’s potential and self-confidence in one’s ability, one can build a better world.
Dalai Lama
A lot of us are at this table, sadly. Because of the educational system which makes us only pass exams and take notes, most of us don’t know who we are and what we would love to venture into in the long run. Because of this, we do not know our purpose and also do not know our passion. This, therefore, leads us to low self-esteem and a lack of self-confidence.
If you don’t believe in yourself, nobody will. That is the motto I have lived by ever since I learned this on my own. Having a purpose and knowing it is one of the greatest things in life because once you know this, your self-esteem and self-confidence are going to be top-notch.
To know your purpose in life, it’s good to try out new things until you find your niche in life.
6. How to Brand and Market Yourself
Your brand is what other people say about you when you are not in the room.
Jeff Bezos
At school, you learn how to fit into the system and do what everyone else is doing. There is no space for individuality. This is another problem because a lot of people do not know what self-branding is.
Personal branding otherwise known as self-branding is marketing yourself to people in every environment you find yourself in.
7. How to Communicate and Negotiate Well
Communication as we know is the key to everything we need in life. It is the word “please” in a different light but sadly, it is another life-changing skill that school does not teach.
Communication and negotiations are the number one key things people look at when applying for a job, wanting to get married, or even just an observation as a whole.
Effective communication and negotiation should be skills worth learning because they encompass levels that school certificates and degrees can not teach.
Conclusion
There are so many life-changing skills to learn in life and these are just a few. As you venture into the world at an older age, you start to see life in another light, a lot different from what you were thought in school or even thought at home. And it is ok to see life in a different light, but something, we should take home with us is how we utilize what we have learned outside school and how we can use it in our daily lives as we go further in our lives.
I hope you find this article helpful. If you do, leave a comment for me in the comments section. You could also tell in the comments section other life-changing skills that schools don’t teach. Thank you for your time.

These features help our dear customers get available and relevant fresh food products through some of the app features. Asides from these features above, you can also do things like making payments by being asked to select the date and time you need your item delivered.
Some people also ask questions like how much does an item cost?, does delivery charge apply?, how do I track my order?, how do I fill in my location? amongst others. These are questions that customers ask and these questions can all be answered on Flingz.net.
How Do I Fill in My Location?
Not to worry too much about this, the flingz app has you covered on this. All you have to do is click on the address option after you must have clicked your account menu. The area for address is further divided into three: either you provide your home address, office address, or other specific location. However, you will be required to fill in your area zip code.
How Much Does an Item Cost?
Generally speaking, the prices of farm items on the flingz app are affordable. Prices for items vary, however, they are affordable with low price guarantees. It’s no different from that of the regular market, stores, or farm prices.
Are There Delivery Charges?
As a matter of fact, yes. Delivery charges do apply and they will always be added to the total price of the food item ordered. But it varies based on your location, and also, excluding your item and delivery fee, you will be charged with a token for VAT.
How can I Track my Order?
Upon payment, your ordered item will be reflected in the order menu until it gets delivered to your address. Also, before making payments, you will be asked to select the date and time you need your item delivered, by clicking the available dates of your choice.
The bottom Line Is…
Flingz.net is user-friendly and effective. It gets your order delivered to your doorstep at a lightning-fast speed. It also has the invite and earns option which allows users to earn tokens for every friend that registers using your referral code. Your token will be deposited in your flingz app wallet. Good right??? Not most food delivery apps do this, but with the flingz app, you’re sure of earning.
As I said, the Flingz.net app is user-friendly and effective it runs on version 1.0.0 and its IOS update comes up soon.

The ability to analyze arguments, evaluate evidence, and distinguish between fact and opinion is a valuable skill that most people term critical thinking. In this article, I will be tutoring you on learning how to think critically. Stay with me.
What Does Critical Thinking Mean?
A simple definition is that critical thinking is the analysis of factual evidence to form a judgment. However, a closer inspection of the term and its meaning shows there are other meanings. The Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy defines critical thinking as the core concepts of the process of ‘careful goal-directed thinking’. Another university’s definition is that ‘good critical thinking includes recognizing good arguments even when we disagree with them, and poor arguments even when these support our point of view’.
In my opinion, I can say that critical thinking is the art and act of analyzing, interpreting, inference, explaining, self-regulating, open-mindedness, and problem-solving skills one acquires to tackle a situation.
There are some benefits of critical thinking and some of them include:
- Question assumptions
- Make better decisions
- Exercise curiosity
- Create compelling arguments
- Reflect on yourself and your life
There are other benefits of critical thinking and some of them include increasing memory and retention capabilities, open-mindedness, emotional control, handling criticism especially criticisms at the workplace, schools, home amongst others. Critical thinking has a million sides to it and there are lots of benefits to learning how to think critically.
How to Think Critically
1. Identify the Issue
When faced with a situation or problem, determine what has caused it.
2. Analyze the Arguments
There will usually be several sides to an argument, so it’s important to understand who is saying what and how valid each position is.
3. Discover the Facts
It’s essential to separate the facts from the opinions and assess how accurately the evidence is presented.
4. Challenge Your Biases
Ask yourself whether or not you’re making assumptions, why you believe a certain point, and whether you’re letting confirmation bias, heuristics, framing, or common fallacies impact your thinking.
5. Decide on Significance
Each side of an argument will likely have supporting evidence. Deciding which information is most important, deductive, valid, and has a sound premise will help decide the significance of each.
6. Draw Conclusions
The various steps above will lead and help you to decide which option or argument (if any) is the most relevant. You can also weigh up the strengths and weaknesses of all options.
Honestly, learning how to think critically is very essential in our daily lives and there are a million and one ways to think critically.
After you must have reached this column and understood what critical thinking entails, your question then shifts from ‘what does critical thinking mean?’ to ‘how do I improve critical thinking skills?’
How to Improve Critical Thinking Skills
There are several ways that you can achieve the benefits of critical thinking, including:
1. Use Scrutiny and Skepticism
Requires little effort to accept things at face value and believe what you’re being told.
Can be difficult to make effective decisions or draw informed conclusions when you’re surrounded by inaccurate information.
3. Use Reliable Sources
When you’re researching a topic to make an informed decision, always pay attention to the source. Look at evidence-based information from reliable outlets and be careful of how statistics are presented to you.
4. Listen Actively
Active Listening is a technique that ensures the listener concentrates, understands, responds to, and remembers what’s being said. It’s also about observing behaviour and body language.
5. Develop More Empathy
Being able to put yourself in the shoes of another person allows you to understand their point of view, motivations, and aspirations.
Most people fail to realize that critical thinking has its root ineffective communication. Communicating well helps one to look at not only the speech of an individual but also the body language and tone of that individual to know your next words. Critical thinking uses communication as a skill to make better decisions.
Final thoughts…
As I said earlier, critical thinking as a skill is a valuable skill that can help us make better decisions and judgments. It helps us as individuals make life-changing decisions and also see through things that aren’t real.
Critical thinking should not be seen as a concept, but as a skill to acquire, it’s very relevant in our lives and should be treated as such.
