DA: What inspired Zazi Entertainment?

Zazi Nicky: I can remember vividly, in 2012, things were not going very well, and it landed me on the streets of Port Harcourt selling Fuman Juice, trying my possible best to make ends meet. One day, while hawking, I met a customer in the traffic and he gave me his card to meet him in his office, I did, and after an interview session, he employed me as his office assistant. I was overjoyed because this was a quantum leap in my life, I moved from the streets to become an office assistant in an oil company.

At this time, I was still in school and my salary was 18,000 Naira. It was not long before I began to notice strange behaviors from my boss, he wanted to sleep with me, I was appalled. I got another job and faced the same issue. It was at this point I decided to take control of my life.

In 2015, I decided to start up something, I knew how to dance, do yoga, and I knew a few exercise patterns, so I decided to start training people. I had people come and register for 5,000 naira, and then I would train them. As time went by, it kept improving and bringing in revenue, so I decided to make Zazi Entertainment a full house entertainment where people can come and register as a brand under us and do what they knew how to do best.

Currently Zazi Entertainment has fashion designers, graphic designers, stylist, interior Decorators, Event managers, Brand managers, etc.

I grew up in a home where discipline was instilled in us by our mother, so sleeping with men to get ahead was never an option, I had already done some odd jobs like cleaning houses, hawking, being a sales girl, and I was not going to throw it all n the wind, so I kept striving hard to prove to them and to myself that I could achieve whatever I wanted through hard-work
