Legit.ng "After writing WAEC and working countless places for people as well as getting underpaid, I found out that I could learn something out of my free time. "So, I paid to learn (under an experienced designer) but was unfortunately not taught well. One night, I went on YouTube and boom I started becoming perfect at what I do and also had the zeal to do more." "When I was studying to write Jamb, I had so many clothes to sew for a client ..I read during the day time and made dresses during the night time and I shuffled it that way - Sew during the day and read during the night. "I just find a way to do both and not get too stressed about it. "Even though sometimes it's not easy." "My long term goal is that I want to be good in my tailoring work and also my school. Because in Nigeria, people say school is scam. School is only scam for those that didn't go to school. What I'm planning to be in future is to work in an oil and gas company."
