She recounted how the tragic loss of her only brother, who succumbed to poverty-driven circumstances, sparked her decision to break the cycle.
Seven years ago, her family's inability to afford a mere N7,000 for her brother's treatment led to his untimely passing.
This devastating event left her mother struggling with high blood pressure, fueling her resolve to create a better life for herself and her family.
Undeterred by societal expectations, she embarked on an unorthodox career path, embracing physical laboratory to support her family.
Through sheer hard work and dedication, she transformed her circumstances, building a house for her mother and acquiring two cars.
In her words:
"This is my own company. This is my oil city. Where I make my own money. I want to advise Nigerian youths. There is dignity in labour. Seven years ago, I lost my only brother. My mother gave birth to five children, four girls and a boy. My brother died because of poverty and his death gave my mother high blood pressure that we're still struggling with.
"There is dignity in labour. Work hard and do not be ashamed of what you do. Don't let anybody make you feel bad about what you do. This is where I make my own money. This place might look dirty to you but it is where I make money. My brother died because we could not afford N7,000. After his death, I decided to work hard like a man. There is nothing I cannot do with my hands. God has really blessed me. With this job, I have built a house for my mother and I have bought two cars as a young girl."
