August 4, 2016 – Pictures: Meet Nigeria’s 1st Female Shoemaker, UNIBEN Graduate Michelle Ekure, The Founder Of Michelle Leathers
Please meet Michelle Ekure, the founder of Michelle Leathers.
She ventured into shoemaking business after all her efforts to secure a job failed.
Michelle bagged a degree in International Studies and Diplomacy from the University of Benin several years ago but couldn’t find a job after graduation.
So in order to defy joblessness, she quickly ventured into shoe-making business and today she has a lot of people training under her.
Check out some of her works below
What a man can do, a woman can do better…. Kudos to her.

The young lady has shown that nine-to-five jobs are sometimes loaded with laziness and the dull and ignorant. A truly educated person is able to use his/her creativity and to inspire others to do likewise. I do hope some honest investors will join the quest to help herself and society at large.

This lady has proved beyond reasonable doubt that women can be hard working rather than being promiscuous by flirting around sugar daddy. Don’t be surprise that this lady with time might be connected to a better job by a kindhearted man who perhaps have being watching her for her zeal toward her business. She might even be lucky to get marry to a rich man who appreciate her industriousness and that is if she has not married. Women, this is part of those qualities we men need in you and not those extravagant make up,high heel shoes,jezebel-like fingers and tight short skirt and so on. You have to be modest in knowing what actually attract men.

You are right to some extent. These are some of the qualities that men are looking for in women like Michelle especially when it comes to seeking for dependable partners. I’m really impress about her creativity idea. I wouldn’t mind to support her business if she decides to organize a fund raising event. Very soon she’ll expand more in her business and that profession may even take her to western world. This is a strong message for our young graduates who think there are still office jobs out there for them. This young woman has created a job for herself. There is tendency for her to have a shoe factory in future where most of her products can be exported to other countries. That is how we can advance ourselves. Young folks need to erase that notion that government will do this or government will do that. Let’s be creative. Self reliance is the only sure way for quick breakthrough. Don’t ask for what your government can do for you instead try to think of what you can offer your society.

Very inspirational, well done young lady.
Most women in her condition will take to prostitution and seeking after sugar daddies and politicians (tacky).
