In a nation where some of the youth are seeking wealth through questionable ways, PREMIUM TIMES is running a series on young entrepreneurs in Nigeria, tagged #Under30entrepreneursinNigeria, anchored by Oluwaseyi Bangudu.
One day, a woman asked me if I knew how to make slippers and I said yes, lol. No, I didn’t, but I was banking on being able to figure it out. I remember walking to a shoemaker’s shop to ask him for help in filing the shoes, that was when I learnt there was a filing machine that could do the job faster.Medical school was demanding, but strangely, having a side business helped me cope better.
Then, don’t do that copycat thing we do a lot in Nigeria, try to find a unique angle for what you do.
