On her Facebook page, she shared how she walked gradually to the market till she could heal perfectly.
The foodstuff seller added that when those who came to take care of her after birth returned to their houses, she strapped her child on her back and continued her business.
She said in her post:
“Don't ever use motherhood as an excuse not to hustle and make your own money. I started going to bush markets 3 weeks and some days after c-section... Yes.. I would walk gradually and very fragile... Until I became stronger and stronger...
“When all the mamas who came for omougo returned... I had to grab my son. Strap him at the back and we move. This picture was taken exactly today 2 years ago. What is your excuse again for lazing around the house all in the name of taking care of the children? By the way, we dehydrate all kinds of veggies for exportation: Ugu, uziza, Afang, oha, utazi, ewedu, scent leave, bitter leave etc.”

"Madam pick me!!!! It worked for you doesn’t mean It must work for others…. When I’m not married to an handicapped man, Ndi motivational speaker."
Ayeni Ruth Ezeh said:
"I love the way this post is trending. Dear God, grant your daughter plentyof sales with this trend in Jesus name."
Chioma Okoye said:
"That word " lazing around" is a no no for me. Your post would have come out fine if you didn't use that word. Sure motherhood is not an excuse for a woman not to be independent. But the way you put the whole thing is a turn off. That you are strong after 3 weeks doesn't make you better than others and some that are not strong even after one month, doesn't mean they are lazy."
