A Nigerian entrepreneur recently faced a devastating setback. Thieves broke into her boutique. They stole all her merchandise. This tragic event occurred only weeks after she launched her store.
A video of the incident quickly went viral. A lady known as @homotolani shared it online. The clip shows the shop owner crying uncontrollably. She documented the heartbreaking scene inside her emptied shop.
The distraught owner voiced her sorrow. She stated, “People are truly wicked.” She continued, “They destroyed my shop completely. All goods are gone. Nothing is left.” The shop had been open for less than a month. She cried out, “God, where is your presence?”

The once well-organized boutique was left in disarray. Shelves were bare. Items lay scattered. The entrance showed clear signs of forced entry.
She struggled to articulate her pain. In her comments, she revealed the immense effort. She had taken a loan to establish the business. The robbery wiped out her investment.
The emotional video resonated widely. It garnered widespread sympathy online. Many Nigerians expressed anger. They highlighted the increasing burglaries. Small businesses across the nation are vulnerable.
