"POV: You decided to stop procrastinating and decided to start small with your N77k allawee. Way Maker, pls make a way for me. I have decided to start. Pls support my brand, we are launching tomorrow."

The video sparked reactions from viewers, with some offering words of encouragement and others providing advice on how to run the business.

Some viewers suggested that washing the thrift items before selling them might not be necessary, given that customers are aware that they are purchasing second-hand products.

The entrepreneur's journey began with an investment of N77,000, which she received as a stipend from her NYSC program.

She expressed her hopes for success and appealed for support from potential customers.

Commenting on the story, a corps member, Anita Olma, said she spent her own N77k allawee on settling bills.

"Omo the country is hard. I couldn't invest it on anything because I already had bills to settle. Bills finished mine but hopefully I will invest in something before I finish my service," she said.
