“Some people don’t believe I started this business with R350 (N9200) from child support. I wanted to own a mobile kitchen but had no funds. 10 years later, boom I had funds to own one. I wake up every day and hustle, the feedback is always positive.”
Mbuks catering also headed online to post this influential story with her followers. As things stand, it seems the lady is serving traditional food from pap and meat to fast food items such as hot chips.

Lady who trained herself in school with proceeds from her Okada riding business
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported about a lady who trained herself in school with her Okada riding business.
Fortune who is from Delta state said that the worst advice she has got from people was that she is too beautiful to be riding a bike under the hot sun in Lagos state.
The lady came to Lagos in 2017 on the promise her father’s brother made to put her in school.
According to the 24-year-old lady, the man said that she would have to pay him back. Fortune later braved it and went job hunting.
