Being that her salary as a nurse was going into the repayment of the loans that she took for her ex-spouse, she did night shifts and so during the day, she hustled as an Okada rider.

She saved a sum of N94,000 and started a small business in 2018. Since she had a piece of land that she had bought before marriage, she started building her house.

She also had savings for her baby and she decided to use them to build the rentals which she recently finished.

The hardworking Busia woman said she gifted her five-year-old daughter the rentals to heal the pain they went through when the landlord closed their house due to rent arrears.

"I gifted her the houses to wipe the tears we cried when the landlord was locking our house. I vowed to make her a landlady at this tender age," she said.

In a related development, Legit.ng had earlier reported how a 27-year-old lady from Minnesota in United States renovated a van and turned it into a house for herself.

The lady identified as Mackenzie Klimek said she was tired of living with her parents hence she made the impressive move.

Klimek built the home herself using Youtube tutorials.
