As the post trended, Legit.ng reached out to @teetop0509 and she provided clarity on the project and the main goal of their research.
According to her, the focus of the research was for her and members of her group to get an understanding of the casket business, how it is done, the amount needed to start the business, and several other factors.
Kokude Abosede explained:
"The aim is to find out how the business is being done, how much is the initial capital to start, price of the casket, is the work profitable or not, the least they sold in a month and we ask a lot of questions and the man answered us so well."
In her TikTok post, she had mentioned her group was tasked to make IRR and use NPV to calculate it. The 400-level student explained these terms during her exclusive chat with Legit.ng.
Kokude Abosede said:
"What is all the research for without calculation as an Economist. So after getting all the information we calculate the NPV (net profit value) IRR (internal rate of return). We did a lot of calculations on it and it is not only my group, we have different groups, so my name just happens to be among those working on the casket business."
She mentioned that she and members of her group were initially not comfortable with the project, and they made this known to the lecturer in charge, who encouraged them to continue.
At the end, she and members of her group were happy that they did, as they discovered positive things about the topic and the casket business.

She explained:
"We complained about it that the lecturer should change it to another one but he said no, that some UI students have done it before and ours is even group one. So we accepted and proceeded. We went there and made our findings and we really saw it is a good business that people don’t really invest into."
The project topic and photos shared caught attention online, with several individuals reacting to it in the comments section.
