“I want to close down my business” – Nigerian lady breaks down in tears (Video below)
This is indeed a trying time for a lot of people due to the economic situation and political uncertainty in Nigeria currently. Entrepreneurs who operate online businesses are not exempted from this situation.
An Instagram vendor that sells foot wears shared a video via her business page, entreating all and sundry to purchase her goods. She said amidst tears that she was fed up with the whole situation and was willing to sell her goods at any price because she wanted to close the business and she doesn’t want to give it all out or have them destroyed.
In her words:
“Please in the name of God, if you need anything from my page I beg you please just buy I am begging you. Even if you don’t need it, if it is something you can give out, buy.
“You can pay any amount you want to pay. I just want to put an end to the business; I am not doing again and I have so much stock I cannot go and give everything out and I am choked, I don’t want to go and destroy them.”

@adaora09 said: “Please take it easy Sis! You have honestly been doing a great job here. I love your marketing strategies and the quality of your goods. I remember buying 5 pairs of shoes from you on your last sales and I must confess again that your goods are of good quality. So please just hold on to your business and keep on marketing your goods. Please don’t give up because you inspire alot of people. Generally, Nigeria is in a critical trying time but all will be well soonest. Our God is gallantly on the throne and he is too faithful to disappoint us. What God cannot do does not exist. Sending you love and hugs.”
