There are many Nigerians, irrespective of age, who are not only hard-working but making a relatively good life out of what they could lay their hands on.

Madam Hannah Miyebi from Gbaramatu Kingdom in an interview with Legit TV spoke about how she used proceeds from her crayfish business to train her children up to the university level.

With an array of crayfish and dried fishes, the woman said that she sells a bag for N20,000, adding that she is making cool money from the business. Hannah added she could sell 20 bags in a day.

When asked if she has gotten any for form of support from the government, she said no. She added that she did not even apply for lockdown palliative because she believes the government does not always make good on its promise.

The hardworking woman said that she comes to the market between 7:30 am and 8 am every day and closes at 6 pm. On how the lockdown has affected her business, Hannah said it has reduced patronage as many inter-state borders were locked down.

The woman complained that many of her customers absconded with her money as a result as she appealed to the authority to totally lift the ban on movement and allow people to move freely.

She added that her children in different places in Nigeria, with some of them, already married. The woman added that she has been in the trade for 32 years.
