She would start a business in her 200L but everything was hampered by strike - this was her first experience of the ritual-like industrial action public universities have been bedevilled with.

Her second strike experience came in her finals at a time she was doing IT.

According to the lady, business boomed at that time that she had her first store in Lagos, acquired her first whip and planned her wedding while being an expectant mum.

The self-acclaimed hair guru who owns multiple businesses would go on to have two extra years; witness more than five strike actions as well as take time off to deliver her three kids at intervals.
