 When And Why Did You Start Selling Fish?

I started selling fish last year because there are no jobs outside and I didn’t want to become a Yahoo Boy(fraudster) so I just decided to hustle, and from the hustling there is an improvement in my life.

This business is something I’ve been interested in since I was in Niger during my service year. But because of the security situation and bandits, my parents called me to come back home after service.

 Since You Came Back Did You Apply For Any Job?

I applied to so many places within and outside Offa, but I haven’t been applying for government jobs. So, because I didn’t want to sit at home, I decided to just pick up this business since I already know a little about it.
