"I started selling cooked Ofada rice four years ago. I sell majorly by hawking the rice round Yaba axis.
When there was no means to further my education after graduating from Dolphin High School in 2007, I started learning from my mother who used to sell Ofada rice.

I am married with a kid and I feed myself and my family with the money I make from this business. I make about N25,000 daily from the sales of the Ofada rice and my profit from this amount is about N6000 to N8000.

My wife has joined me in this business; she sells Ofada in Alaba market. Interestingly, my brother also sells rice. I cook the Ofada rice I sell myself.
We also cook at parties for people who are interested in having the Ofada rice at their events.

People laugh at me when they see me hawking the food. But then, I am 29 years old and I need to survive against all odds.
I learnt the art of sculpting and molding objects by the side too. I am Adeniyi Hammed, I come from Lagos Island.
This is my story!"



You are an unsung hero Hammed! Your small business which makes you 6 to 8k daily (120k monthly based on a 20 day month) is much more than the salaries many of those laughing at you make.

Soon it'll grow into a restaurant and you'll have a story of humble beginnings to tell. You're the type of person that deserves to be celebrated. Keep it up, bigger door will open sooner than you expect.

This is the sort of story I love to see... relentlessness against all odds. You will succeed!

Pls how about us that are monthly earners and we don't know how to save. Sincere advise needed biko.

Have a budget e.g
Food
Transportation
Data
Savings
Contingencies
Allocate a % to each of these and don't go outside your budget. Also, have a side hustle.

Perfect comrade

There's no shame when it comes to making money just last week I watched 5 most dangerous jobs in the world I was sad to see what men pass through to feed their families.
I started barbing in jss 3 after my father died and used it to train myself through the University it took me seven years to achieve that am currently doing my services and am very fulfilled with what I do, I don't lake any basic necessity and I'm looking forward to acquire a new IT skills after service.
Those that where laughing at me in the street are still in the street and they were surprised the day they saw on my NYSC uniform, luck struct me recently I go an appointment in my state and they have started paying me monthly salaries

My advice, it's never too late to achieve your dreams believe in the process and forget about the event, God will surely see you through.

Actually nobody is ashamed of their legitimate jobs, it's only people that does something illegitimate that are ashamed and can lie about it because they are hiding something. Take Hush puppy claiming real estate dealer.

Be proud of what you do abeg as long as it pays your bill and is not illegal

From small beginning

hustle hustle

Hustle no be beans o..may god give us the strength to carry on..

Why would you be ashamed of a legitimate hustle that puts food on your table. Same people you're ashamed will mock you, will double mock you when you beg them.
