Nigeria Is Named The Country With The Highest Percentage Of Female Entrepreneurs by Ibsgal(f): 4:20am On May 09, 2015
A study conducted by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation reveals that Nigeria has the highest percentage of female business owners in the world. 41% of women in Nigeria are business owners. I'm so proud. Unfortunately, the notion of entrepreneurship is not equal among nations. A woman who owns a roadside kiosk selling food items in Africa and a woman who owns a fashion line in North America are both business owners - but are they comparable?. A lot of women in Nigeria are forced into owing businesses due to unfortunate circumstances. For example, I'll consider my mother an entrepreneur, she opened a small shop because despite years of loyally serving her country as a civil servant, her retirement package remained unpaid for many years. I have a friend who studied biochem, couldn't land a job after graduation, became a tailor apprentice, and is in the process of opening her own seamstress shop. While there are many thriving female business owners in Nigeria, I doubt more than 20% of female entrepreneurs in the country belong to that group. I will say though, if there is a trait I admire about my fellow-countrywomen, it is their unshakeable determination to always pull through even in the direst of circumstances, and this study is an affirmation of that fact.

LOL, entrepreneurship/hustling or whatever you choose to call it, you can't deny that the average Nigerian woman is a go-getter. Sometimes, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

The women featured on this show have overcome the numerous challenges faced by small and medium enterprises in Nigeria, from the lack of access to funding to the power outages.
