My body don suffer for this business, but I no go kill myself for money
3 months ago
I dey think about my health today. Since I start this company, I don dey run like person wey dey chase bus wey don leave. Wake up 5am, check messages before I even brush my teeth. My back don start to dey pain me, and my head dey spin sometimes.
Last week my sister Fatima call me and say, "Amina, you dey look like person wey no dey sleep." I just laugh. But she right. I dey carry too much load. My husband don dey complain say I no even dey sit down for dinner. My children, they dey ask me, "Mummy, why you dey always work?"
I say make I slow down. But in this Nigeria, if you no hustle, you go dey behind. The thing be say, no be by running. I don learn say rest na part of the work. If I fall sick, who go run this thing? Nobody. So I dey try small small. Make I no carry the whole world for my head.
