In an interview with @oacthecreator on TikTok, the lady said she started her hair band and jewelry business from her N33k allowance.
Grace said:
“When I came to Abuja, I was very broke and depressed. I wanted to take my own life. I had no N5 on me. I was suffering. I started from this hair band. It’s just from my N33k allawee. I don’t have money. I’m just trying to make ends meet.”
The video was captioned:
“The first time I saw @ENEYI , I was intrigued. I thought to myself, “Why is someone this pretty carrying so many loads and hustling like this?” In that moment, I decided I was going to share her story with the world.
“Her story is a testament to the fact that there are women who are willing to fight for their future and not depend on men for their livelihood. She started her business last year with just ₦5,000 from her ₦33,000 allawee, and in less than 12 months, she’s gone from being depressed and broke to getting her own apartment and buying basic things for herself.
“She now sells a variety of items like headbands, clothes, boyfriend jeans, skincare, jewelry, and much more. If you’re in Abuja, you can support her by patronizing her business.People like Eneyi deserve to be supported and celebrated.”
