The story of the young lady who took to the streets to hawk her business in a wheelbarrow soon grabbed attention online, and Legit.ng reached out to the lady to speak and learn more about her experience.
In an exclusive chat, she explained to Legit.ng what inspired her to start the business after school.
According to her:
"What inspired me to start the business is that after graduation, I realized there is life after school and I got a teaching job at one private school and I’m earning 20k monthly, and before month end I will spend more than 20k."
Despite only wanting to better her life and make herself happy by posting videos of her business online, she explained that she recently came across comments from individuals that made her feel bad.
She continued:
"Based on the reactions my story got on social media, I got both positive and negative reactions. Some people said I graduated with my body because I ended up selling okpa, but it’s well. All I know is that I appreciate both positive and negative reactions because you can’t be good to all humans."
The hardworking lady, after sharing her experience, gave important advice to individuals in school on how to achieve progress in their respective trades or businesses.
She said:
"My advice to undergraduates is to keep pride and what people will say aside and hustle, your progress and success will speak for you. Even if you turn to a harlot they will still gossip you 🥹 though sometimes business is draining due to low sales and low views on the internet but I have to keep moving so that I can be able to open my dream business."
"My only candid advice is going to undergraduates and graduates as well. School is a scam just go there, acquire knowledge and grab your certificate then build up your life in your own way by engaging yourself in a business or applying for a government job because you will benefit gratuity at your old age but if you don’t have connections, keep pushing your business one day the world will recognize you because my belief is that this okpa business will give me my dream business and also take me to the USA."
