Nana Otedola reveal struggles through 10 business ventures

Nana Otedola, wife of business mogul Femi Otedola, has revealed her struggles through different business ventures.

Otedola, who was a guest on How Far podcast hosted by her daughter Temi Otedola and son-in-law Mr Eazi, said her thriving laundry business is successful despite the thorns of failures.

According to her, she experimented with about 10 different business ideas before finding her footing.

She recalled attempting to work as an administrative staff member, but said her husband was against it.

She also tried buying and selling, but it didn’t work out.

“I tried like 10 other things. I tried to work as an admin staff member in an office, although your dad kicked against it. I tried to buy and sell. I was trying other things while doing the dry-cleaning business”, she said.

Her breakthrough came with a dry-cleaning and laundry service, “I remember a consultant known as Brian said to me, ‘Do you think this will work?’ Your dad also asked me, ‘Do you think this will work?’ Lagos needs a good dry-cleaning and laundry service,” she said.

Despite initial doubts from both Femi Otedola and the consultant, Nana said she stayed committed and the business eventually thrived.

Mr Eazi also noted that Lagos still has a huge demand for reliable laundry services today.
