INTRODUCTION

Life they say is a Teacher. Life will teach you what you will ***never *** learn in school. Some of us here were not born with a silver spoon. It's truly our hustle that has taken us to where we are today and still counting. I am one of those.

For me hustling didn't just start today. It's been a part and parcel of me since teen age. I

Making and Selling of beads
When I graduated from University, I returned to my eldest sister's house in Abuja, staying at home was so bored and as God may have it, a member in our church organized a skill acquisition section where she taught the youths bead/hat making and liquid soap.
I took that class so serious not knowing what lies ahead. Some months after it, I left to Sokoto for my NYSC.

Apart from my teaching job, at Blue Crescent School, Mabera, Sokoto State,I made money with that skill in my place of assignment because I was making beads for my colleagues...I have so many designs of them that intrigued them. Those that have traditional weddings and outings contacts me for their beads. God really prepared me for that posting.
Till today, I still make beads for sell and for my use...

Beads and Bangles that I made
I do package them for sale.

This I do not minding my job.

Life as a Teacher

Teaching has always been part of my hustle. After I finished NYSC, I started teaching in a school closed to my residence...in Abuja.
I left the city immediately after wedding to reside with my husband in Imo State. There again, I got an appointment with a secondary school a month after our wedding.
I have been with them while still doing my side businesses.

My students and I

Other things I engage in

I am one person that can do many things especially with my hands. With the knowledge I have in liquid soap making...I expanded the knowledge to Izal, Detol/disinfectant, air freshener, stain remover and Vaseline.

All these household products I make goes a long way in keeping money into my hands and saves the family a lot of expenses. We use some of the products and I sell too. Though I don't have pictures of the package ones for sell because i haven't done any in this year yet.

Izal and Vaseline I made...the only ones available at home.

One thing I thank God in this life is that He gave me hands and am making judicious good of it, very well.
Apart from all these, am good at pastries too.
I used to sell buns and fish pie in my school at Abuja before marriage and if I get opportunity of where to sell it again, I will continue.

Plain Cake and buns I made for my daughter on her 3rd year birthday.

CONCLUSION

God has blessed me greatly.
I don't fake it to make it but, I work it to make it.
