Omotade Johnson pictured in white, lost his job at Intercontinental Bank
in 2009 during the banking tsunami and decided to set up his own
business as a a puff puff seller. Read his inspiring story which he
shared to
Thisday newspaper below...
“Formerly, I worked with Intercontinental Bank PLC. That happened
shortly; I lost the job when the bank got liquidated and everything went
flat. But, as a man, you have to work and I can’t see anything I can’t
do. So that was why I joined the new trend. The business has been on for
the past 11 years; I met it in 2012, when I came to Lagos. I never went
to school for it, I learnt it from my friends who were professionals in
the business. Although, some of them were younger than me in age then,
but that never mattered to me, because all I wanted was for them to
teach me how to fry and all other things involved, which they obliged
and taught me, even without demanding I should pay money for the
training. So, since I joined, the business has been good; I don’t have
anything to regret. I’m not lacking any money. I love the business. It’s
quite a profitable one. Of course, if it’s not, this my team you see
working here wouldn’t have been here. Because you can’t just wake up
early in morning, stay here till night without going home with something
that is worth the time and you continue working”.
