hehehehe.....Beautiful Nigerian lady Michelle Ekure, was born into the family of Mr. Ekure in Eku Delta State.
In order to defy joblessness, Michelle, a graduate of the department of International Studies and Diplomacy from the University of Benin, ventured into shoemaking, designing patterns and building shoes herself.
Michelle, in an interview with Lukmon of Wazobia Global Times USA, explained how the journey into shoemaking started for her.
See excerpts from the interview below :
- Lukomon : So Why shoemaking?
On how it started, there is this other company I buy sandals in Lagos and resell. They sell nice shoes, so one day I thought to myself that I can tell this people to make sandals for me with my label, so I approached them and they said yes. That was how I got my first set of shoes. Then a friend introduced me to a guy that makes shoes. I watch him make shoes one day and I was amazed then I asked him to teach me and he did.
- Lukmon : That's a lovely beginning.
- Lukmon : So how do you drive sales and who are your target customers?
- Lukmon : Wow! That's a great number. You must be a workaholic. Do you have partners?
- Lukmon: How many are your apprentice?
- Lukmon : Talking about the Nigerian famous comedian Alibaba. We've seen pictures of you with him. Are you in anyway related?
- Lukmon: So, if not shoemaking, what would you have ventured into?
- Lukmon : Hmm. That might come to pass one day.
- Lukmon : So, what's your advice to young ladies that are yet to find there ways out there?
- Lukmon : Is there anything else (e.g unpopular fun fact about you) you’d like to add that might be interesting to our readers ?
I'm a very interesting person be with though, I have my moment.
- Lukmon : Thanks for your time, we appreciate chatting with you.
