The video sparked reactions from viewers, with some offering words of encouragement and others providing advice on how to run the business.
Some viewers suggested that washing the thrift items before selling them might not be necessary, given that customers are aware that they are purchasing second-hand products.
The entrepreneur’s journey began with an investment of N77,000, which she received as a stipend from her NYSC program.
She expressed her hopes for success and appealed for support from potential customers.
