Omoyeni Agbokere is a 35-
year-old widow who
has taken up a task most
women would frown at
as a means of survival.
'First lady' is what she is
fondly called by her
colleagues at the motor park,
a name which she
inscribes on the back of her
tricycle (Keke Marwa).
Driving a tricycle is not what
she ever dreamt of
as a career, but her husband's
death forced her to
look for a means of survival.
"My husband died two years
ago," she said. "
Before he died, I used to
engage in some petty
trading because he was the
one taking care of
most of the family's needs.
When he died, I had
to look for a better business
to sustain me and
my family."
The mother of two says she
has not regretted
her decision because she
makes enough to take
care of her family.
"I have two children, a boy of
12 and a girl of
eight. This Keke Marwa
business, I see it as
something I can use to help
my family because it
is bringing a daily income. The
money I make
every day depends on how
much I work for the
day. I make between N2,000
and N3,000
everyday.

An inspirational step to all other lazy women.
