Read her wonderful story

Fatimah Ibrahim is a 39 year old widow, a mother of two, from Borno state. A chance encounter with her on the street would most certainly portray her as just one of the thousands of ordinary women walking the streets of Lagos. But meeting her at a building site would startlingly reveal the other side of her! This woman is a professional painter, tiler, and plumber! When asked how and why she entered into professions dominated by men, she had this to say,
“I have always loved painting .My friend’s husband who is a painter taught me how to paint, and I started painting even when my husband was alive. Later, I picked interest in tiling and plumbing profession, and I went for the training. Right now, after my husband’s death, I am proud to say I am a professional painter, tiler, and plumber. To me being a woman doesn’t really matter”

As must be expected, Fatimah is confronted with some challenges which centers mainly on gender disparity. “It’s been hard getting work. Some people give me jobs to do, and they are never disappointed; but others are just reluctant to trust me with their buildings, because they still find it difficult to believe the fact that a woman can do these jobs, and even do them better than men

"She called on the public and the government to give her contracts and test her level of capability. She also stressed that these were her means of livelihood. “I am a widow. I have two children aged 13 and 9.I am not begging the public for food, as I have been blessed with the means of providing for my children. All I am asking if for Individuals, contractors, Government to give me jobs so I can make money and take care of my children and other widows who are not so fortunate to have vocations like mine”

FTC hope this make fp

Buhari wears pampers

Wow, may God bless her handy works. I like seeing women, especially widows who don't use their husband's death as an excuse for financial problems. Some other widows will have been sleeping around with men just to feed, and take care of children. There is always a good alternative solution to every unforeseen problem.

What's good about this story??
Just look at how old and wretched she looks.

It is better for her to become proper ashawo, look good and feed her children properly.

Yeye pretending olosho woman abi she wan tell us say she no dey collect preek since her olosho husband die?...

See her ugly black face sef.

Damn, you're going too far even if wat u re saying is true u sud ve kept it to yourself, God. Don't you know too hard work make pple grow older than they suppose to be. She has every right to look ugly and trashy for her children to look good. Its called parenthood. May what happen to you, but put yourself in her shoes, will you take your own advice? You will belittle yourself in an unholy manner your children will not be proud of to make them look okay? Pls rethink.
