Nigerian lawyer and activist, Modupe Odele popularly known as Moe, has opened up on her journey to success and the challenges she encountered.

During a chat on the latest episode of “Founders Connect,” Moe revealed that an employer who is begging her to join the company once rejected her when she was a fresh graduate.

According to the #EndSARS activist, the man did not remember that he had refused to give her a job until she reminded him of about the rejection.

The founder of Scale My Hustle recounted how she and a friend visited about 30 law firms to submit application for job and they were rejected at all but one that agreed to interview them.

She said it is a painful memory to revisit so she actively tries to suppress the thought.

After subjecting Moe and her colleague to a rigourous process which they passed, she said that the company offered them N40,000 salary but she was not comfortable with the pay.

She shared the story of her past struggles to correct a notion that she has always had it easy in her career.

Moe said that the person who rejected her in the past is the partner in a law firm and she has his contact on her phone. She explained how surprised he was when she reminded him of what happened.

Watch the interview below:

A young Nigerian man simply known as John, has said that he feels frustrated over the low income he earns from his job as a welder.

Speaking in an interview with Lucky Udu, he lamented about struggling to make ends meet while friends he grew up with are making money through internet fraud aka Yahoo Yahoo.

According to John, he spent four years learning welding yet with all his hardwork, he is barely able to make enough money to get by daily.

He said that he is not happy because he cannot make millions just like his friends who are cashing out with Yahoo Yahoo.

The 25-year-old said; ”My name is John. I am 25 years old. I am not too happy with my life because everyone I grew up with are now making money through yahoo yahoo. I learnt welding for the past four years but nobody wants to give me job because they feel like I am too small or not up to the task.

I have been trying my best to meet up with life. My friends are doing things, making money, buying cars. I just feel left out in everything.”
