Noami is not a barber but she told Fox Nigeria she has employed workers to work for her at the salon while she studies.
On the day she opened her salon, she posted photos of it on Facebook, and she got many Nigerians saying she inspired them.
She wrote on Facebook:
“Indeed, what God can not do does not exist. From hawking in the streets to sitting in the office to continually make income.”
Why I started a barbing salon
Speaking to Fox Nigeria, Naomi said she went into salon business because it a service that many people need.
Her words:
“I went into a salon business because you don’t need money to fund it every day; it’s a necessity. People can’t replace it with another product. But baking can be replaced with something else when the price is high.”
When asked how she would be able to combine her businesses with studies, she said she goes to her business place when she does not have lectures.
She said:
“I’m still in school. I go to the office when I am not having lectures and during break, and when I am in school, I oversee what is happening in the store.”
Naomi said her major motivation in life is Christ, noting that she would like to do well.
Her words:
“Christ is my motivation. I want to do well for him. Seeing where I was and how far he has brought me makes me want to do well for him.”
