having bagged a degree in chemistry from one of the prestigious Uni in Naija with strong grade, couldn't secure a job for sometimes, so I started making and selling liquid soap, and paint (painted house too), after doing that for a year, I got a job, as a medical rep, and exactly after one year doing that, I left the shore of my fatherland. I am not where I wanna be but I looked back in time, and I glorify the Lord. With every step I take, I am closer to my goal. I need just 5 people that wanna learn how to make soap, paint etc to mention me and drop their emails. This is my very tiny way of giving back and thanking Allah Thanks 8 Likes 1 Share |

I taught kids for as low as 500N per month. I worked in a bar. It was hella stressful. I've never had such a stressful job. I got so lean and pale. I've worked as an house help. ![]() I've served in parties, received all sorts of embarrassments. It wasn't easy. I marketed goods on the roads of Lagos. ![]() I presently use my crafts for sales. I'm not so buoyant, but then I'm thankful for how far I've arrived. It hasn't been easy, but it's been worth it. In life, one has to be very rigid to make it. Cut away self doubts, shame and ego. None will take you no where. You also have to learn how to step out of your comfort zone. I'm still hustling. I know I'll get there. By the way, I've got some lovely Wigs for sale. Holla, please. 16 Likes |
