Lady who hawks
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a young Nigerian lady with the TikTok handle @djsplendiz1 in a clip showed the many trades she engaged in to make a living.
At the start of the video, she could be seen selling snacks by the roadside. Another part of the clip showed her working as a teacher. In different sections of the clip, she was a farmer, waitress, and second-hand cloth seller just to earn a living.
When people asked her if the videos are all real and not a fake attempt at content creation, the lady was quick to say that they are random old videos that capture her struggles.
