When Legit.ng reached out to her, the young entrepreneur reflected on the roots of her journey. She explained that her decision to start selling akara was born out of necessity.
After gaining admission into school without anyone to sponsor her, she leaned on the skills she had learned from her mother:
“I took it upon myself to start selling akara in order to further my education, since I already learned about the akara business from my mom."
Though the akara business provided a means of survival, her vision extended beyond the roadside trade. She revealed that while she was still in school, she was already nurturing a bigger dream:
“I had it in mind that I must have another source of income, so fortunately for me, God made it possible for me."

She said, describing how the idea of establishing a salon gradually took shape.
Turning that dream into reality required both strategy and discipline. She noted that after graduation, she adjusted her routine to boost earnings:
“When I was still in school, I only sold in the evening time, so immediately I graduated, I added morning session to it. Then God has been coming through and again I save a lot."
Beyond her personal story, she shared lessons for young Nigerians who aspire to become entrepreneurs:
"First of all, go for business you have passion for, then consistency, always show up no matter what, then patience. Just add style to whatever you do, it makes you to stand out."
