Empowering Others: A 21-year-old man becomes shop owner after 7 years of serving his boss

A young man who dedicated seven years of his life serving his boss has finally become a shop owner.

In a post shared by Facebook user Kelvin Onovo, it was revealed that 21-year-old Frank Chukwudi has officially opened his own shop in Enugu after being “settled” by his boss, a traditional gesture of rewarding loyal apprentices in parts of Nigeria

Sharing photos of Frank standing proudly in front of his new shop, Kelvin wrote: “This is one big advantage of the Nwa Boi system.

Meet Frank Chukwudi.

21 years old.

He started as a Nwa Boi at just 13 years old.

He didn’t plan to go into business — he wanted to go to school. But after losing his dad early, he had to step up for his younger siblings.

When he saw me today, he couldn’t hide his excitement.

He took me straight to his shop and asked me to bless him.

Me wey no sabi pray like that — I still had to, because I’m genuinely proud of this boy.

I used to buy from his oga and always noticed how loyal and dedicated he was. He’s a good boy.

7 years later, he’s now standing on his own.

Frank is now an oga himself.

I remember talking about this business a while back, and someone asked to learn the trade.

Well, here’s your chance.

Frank is solid — and I want to support him the same way his oga supported him.

I didn’t plan to buy anything, but I still bought one thing just so my money would enter his shop.

I know his oga will see this and smile with pride.

If you’re in Enugu and need solid cosmetic products, please buy from him.

He’s also open to teaching anyone who wants to learn skincare or start a cosmetic business.

Offor, God bless you.

At least you’re one of the few great Igbo men who kept their word and settled him properly.

You got him a shop, stocked it up, and even made sure he start.

That’s how to do it.

You didn’t just train him — you empowered him.

Chukwu Gozie gi.

Yagazie.”
