Lady who relocated to Nigeria starts business
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a lady had opened up about her business after relocating to Nigeria.
In a TikTok post, the lady said she moved back to Nigeria in 2018 and referred to it as 'japada', a Nigerian slang term which describes the act of returning to Nigeria. The lady, @ms.skhindu, said her mum had told her to return abroad, while her friend warned that Nigeria would happen to her.
She, however, drew inspiration from her friend's warning and went back to the drawing board to fix all the things that could cause 'Nigeria to happen to her.' According to her, she realised she needed to take control of the things she could control if she wanted to succeed, and that was when her vision became clear. Mixed reactions trailed her story.
