Ozioma, a widow at 29, faced hardship after her husband, Uchenna, was wrongfully fired and later died from a stroke. Left without support, she started a puff-puff business, selling food at the factory gate where her husband worked. Despite challenges and whispers from others, she persevered for the sake of her son, Ebuka. As Ebuka grew, he excelled academically, earned a scholarship, and eventually won a tech competition, providing support for their business, which became successful under the name 'Mama Zee's Delight.'
They accused me of stealing spare parts. They have no proof. But they want to make me the scapegoat. He begged. Pleaded. But they fired him anyway.
A silent stroke. He died before we reached the hospital. I stood at his grave with our two-year-old son, Ebuka, in my arms. No job. No support. Just ashes.
I sold my wedding ring for ₦5,000. Borrowed ₦2,000 from Mama Nkechi to buy flour, sugar, and oil. That's how the puff-puff business started.
Bereka grew up fast. By 10, he was solving math problems adults couldn't. By 13, he was winning spelling bees. By 16, he was awarded a full scholarship to study computer science.
