Actress and founder of Odot Fashion brand, Didi Ekanem, has revisited the nasty experience she had trying to get a job after graduation.
She says it was not easy at all, especially with banks whom she believes wanted to exploit more than her certificate by always wanting her to be a marketer.
A lesson she wants others to imbibe is that the ugly experience pushed her into entrepreneurship.

TRUE TRUE ADULTHOOD NA SCAM IN NIGERIA.
ONLY YOU WILL GO THROUGH UNIVERSITY FOR 4 YEARS, 1 YEAR YOUTH SERVICE AND COME OUT AND BECOME WHAT YOU BECOME.
MY DEGREE IS SOMEWHERE IN MY FATHER’S CUPBOARD & I REMEMBER WHEN I APPLIED FOR A BANK JOB IN 2016.
EVERY BANK WANTED ME TO BE A MARKETER …
