Meet pretty Olabisi, the self-trained Nigerian female carpenter

By Patricia Uyeh

While most ladies would venture into ladylike professions, Olabisi, a young lady opted for carpentry. According to her, she voluntarily went into carpentry because it is her dream, and she is very proud of the path she has taken.

Here is what she had to say concerning her decision to tread where few ladies dared;
”So about a week ago, I started my self-carpentry training..waow!thanks to YouTube and the free carpentry books online. I had actually thought it’s going to be an easy ride but eish….it’s not been easy and neither is it as difficult as I was told it would be.

”The beautiful thing is, this journey is revealing to me much more than ever that God is a God of process. Therefore, no pressure! Whether I succeed or fail is inconsequential, I am open enough to take the risk to fail. No pressure. No quest for instant gratification. No immediate result needed. For me, its all about enjoying the process.”
