This is December. Schools, churches and amusement parks will soon be in search of people that will wear Santa outfits and dance zanku to entertain the children. Nobody has to know it is you. After all, you will be in a costume. They will pay well, and if you act right, they can even give you small Jollof rice inside black nylon.

Look at all the wigs you have. You cannot possibly wear all of them during Christmas, can you? Why not rent them out for a token. Better money will enter your pockets, walahi.

4. Rent yourself out as a Christmas boyfriend or girlfriend.

This is the holidays. Families will ask to see their children’s partners. And we both know that a lot of people are probably still searching or not ready for marriage yet. Why not offer to fill that vacuum? For a decent price, you go home with them, dazzle the parents and get your money. And if everything works out well, you might even find true love.

5. Start selling Christmas caps
