ENTREPRENEURS : Ada Went From Teen Mum To Business Woman An Inspirating Story To Lift Your Day!

By Motionviu Young Entrepreneur, Ada Ogechi is a 19-year old single mother of an 11-month old baby. She has been through quite a number of challenges in the past couple of years but she describes herself as “unbroken”. Following an unjust system which sent her father to prison for a crime she says he did not commit, the then 17-year old Ada sought assistance from an Army officer. He however took advantage of her innocence and the situation resulted in a pregnancy which Ada refused to terminate. Ada says her story is one of inspiration, and not of pity.
