My readers, let me tell you truth. ₦10,000 looks small. But in Dugbe, Ibadan, ₦10,000 can be the seed of something big.
I’m a car washer here in Dugbe. Every day I see people. Mama selling pure water. Guy selling phone chargers. Student selling gala. They all started small. Today some of them have 2 shops.
Dugbe is market. People pass every minute. Students, workers, traders. If you have something to sell, money will enter your hand. You don’t need millions. You don’t need shop first. You need sense, energy, and ₦10,000 or more if you have.
In this post, I’ll show you 5 businesses you can start in Dugbe with just ₦10,000 in 2026. Plus how much you can make daily. Let’s go.
