Aka Oru Ndigbo means the handwork of the Igbos in English. Today we bring you the most likely profitable venture you can engage in to rise above the tide in this current government of hardship. Although understanding that a country that works comes with a price, some suffering could become overwhelming for a rational human. The Tinubu regime started with very painful measures especially given his removal of the petrol subsidy on the day of his handover. The petrol subsidy removal has incurred a lot of hardship for the Nigerian masses given the essential place of petrol in the life of an average Nigerian in a country where power supply has been problematic, and the majority depends on the petrol generator set to power their enterprises and homes anytime there is a power outage.

With this reality, Ikenga Store, as one committed to the welfare of the Igbo Nation, has assembled a few Aka Oru Ndigbo (handwork that the Igbos can learn) in this tough time. This enables us to become gainfully employed even in the face of depressing economic reality. Also, the removal of subsidies in education by the Tinubu regime and the introduction of high tuition fees in our colleges and universities means that there may be limitations in the number of enrolments in the universities and colleges across the country; however, rather than look at the terrible side of this, our people may see it as an opportunity to acquire relevant skills.

We find it important to make this list because while some Aka oru Ndigbo previously engaged in would continue to flourish; some would be impacted negatively as the result of the radical reforms by President Tinubu takes effect, handwork like regular petrol car mechanics would see less patronage same as regular petrol generator set, so individuals who previously had the skills that would be in less demand needs to either learn additional skills to maximize profit or learn an entirely new skill set.
