A young Nigerian woman’s excitement to launch her thrift clothes business was short-lived.
The young entrepreneur identified as @zikcora11 on TikTok visited a market and bought a bale for the sum of N420,000. to be “first grade UK boutique standard”, but her dreams were crushed when she opened the bundle to find low-quality items that didn’t match the standard she paid for.
The disappointing discovery left her feeling frustrated and defeated, but she refuses to give up on her entrepreneurial aspirations. “I took a risk, and they sent me rubbish,” she shared on TikTok. “I lost N420,000, but I won’t let it hold me back. I’ll keep pushing forward.”
Her story is yet another cautionary tale for entrepreneurs and a reminder to stay vigilant in business dealings. Highlighting the importance of resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
