Her story is such an inspirational one. She graduated from University six years ago, after all the search for a job, but couldn't secure any. Which many ladies now use as excuse to crime and prostitution to make ends meet in Nigeria,
Michelle, a Delta State native, decided to be a shoe maker and she is doing very well.
"My inspiration is from God," says Michelle whose birthday is was yesterday. "I never knew I would be a shoemaker. I graduated from the University six years ago, after which I looked for for job, but to know avail. At sometimes, I got employed by a company in Lagos, but the boss was owing too much, so I left.
"On how it started, there is this other company I buy sandals in Lagos and resell. They sell nice shoes, so one day I thought to myself that I can tell these people to make sandals for me with my label, so I approached them and they said yes. That was how I got my first set of shoes. Then a friend introduced me to a guy that makes shoes. I watched him make shoes one day and I was amazed then I asked him to teach me and he did.
"I always tell people I come in contact with that are looking for job to start something. Anything you are good at can bring money to you or just learn a trade."
Ekure says she makes around 50 pairs of shoes a week and has 6 apprentices working for her. So what is your excuse??
