Nigeria’s economy just grew ₦100 trillion strong in Q2 2025.
That’s not a typo. ₦100 trillion.
But here’s the bitter truth: while billions are changing hands every single day, most Nigerians are still broke. Why? Because they don’t know how to plug in.
Let me show you how to change that.
How one woman turned headlines into millions
A few years ago, during a construction boom, I met a woman who started supplying granite to building sites. While most of us were just reading headlines and scrolling past the news, she acted.
Guess what? She made millions.
That was my wake-up call. I realised something important: national growth doesn’t automatically mean your pocket will grow. But those who position themselves, even in small ways, get their share.
The opportunities are everywhere
This ₦100 trillion growth isn’t abstract. It’s not some politician’s speech or random economic grammar. It’s visible. It’s real. You can touch it in mining, transport, energy, finance, and power.
Take a look:
- Coal mining grew 57.5% in one quarter.
Industries are desperate for local energy. A bag that sold ₦12k last year now goes for ₦20k+. If you supply coal, transport it, or finance it, you’re sitting on gold. - Rail transport jumped 43%.
Nigeria is shifting from road to rail. - Road transport grew 24%.
E-commerce and food delivery are fueling daily movement. Every order, every trip, every delivery is somebody’s steady cash flow. - Banks and fintechs grew 16%.
More Nigerians are borrowing, saving, insuring. Every loan or insurance is a commission for someone. - Oil rebounded 20%. Refining grew 15%. Electricity up 11%.
Money is moving. The only question is, are you moving with it?
What growth means in real naira terms
Let’s break it down into everyday numbers so you see the possibilities:
- Supplying granite to just two medium construction projects = ₦5 million+ profit in months.
- Running two trucks on coal deliveries = ₦1.5 million+ every month.
- A 10-seater shuttle on a busy route = ₦600k+ monthly.
- Selling insurance for banks = steady ₦300k–₦500k commissions.
It’s not theory. These are real numbers that ordinary Nigerians are already cashing out from.
How to profit step by step
Now you’re probably asking, “How do I start?” Here’s the breakdown:
- Startup
Begin small. Supply granite, coal, transport, or energy services. Even if you don’t have capital to own trucks or machines, you can start by linking suppliers to buyers and taking your cut. - Support
Not everyone needs to be in the frontline. You can support the fast-growing sectors. Sell insurance, offer tech solutions, provide skilled labour, or run logistics. - Invest
If you prefer playing smart from your phone, you can invest in these sectors indirectly. Use apps like Bamboo, Trove, or Chaka to buy ETFs and stocks tied to transport, energy, and finance. Even ₦5k monthly can position you for the future.
The mindset that attracts wealth
The Bible says, “The hand of the diligent will rule…” (Prov. 12:24).
Notice the keyword: diligence. Not luck. Not connections. Not noise.
To plug into this growth, you need three things:
- Eyes that see opportunities. Don’t just scroll past headlines. Ask yourself, “How can I profit from this?”
- Hands that are diligent. Show up, do the work, even if it’s small.
- A spirit that’s consistent. Don’t jump in today and run away tomorrow. Money rewards persistence.
Your next step
Nigeria’s ₦100 trillion growth is not for “big men” alone. It’s for sharp everyday people who are willing to open their eyes, start small, and grow with the times.
Remember, we don’t grow by learning alone. We grow by doing.
So whether it’s supplying, transporting, selling, or investing, plant yourself where money is moving. Stay diligent. Stay consistent. Watch how God multiplies your little efforts into something bigger than you imagined.
The question is, will you keep watching headlines… or will you finally plug in?
