Despite the economic challenges, entrepreneurs can still play a significant role in reviving the economy However, for entrepreneurship activities to take place, opportunity identification must first occur. To better understand the factors that influence the identification of entrepreneurial opportunities, this study has examined the potential effects of entrepreneurial social networks, prior knowledge, self-efficacy, proactive personality, alertness, and creativity on opportunity identification. The study employed an exploratory research design and several quantitative methods in the analysis of the collected data. The population of the study was the total number of registered nascent entrepreneurs in Southwestern Nigeria, comprising six (6) states including Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo, and Ekiti. A muti-stage sampling technique was used, while primary data was collected directly from all the participants by administering the study questionnaires. The number of questionnaires administered was 300, with a sample size of 103, which is this study's minimum according to the Gpower result.
