Who knew fufu could yield so much profit? But I’m sure a lot of you will be shy to even let people know that you eat fufu talk more about selling it lol… There’s no shame in a legit hustle, let wisdom guide you!
“I am talking to all the young women who look up to me… I hope you see that I am not going through short cuts or trying to take the easy way out….. My beauty can get me anything I want but I want more than my beauty can get me. Please don’t let anyone tell you that hard work doesn’t pay o… Because it does eventually. Get up and do the right thing now! I love you”
