Ameen. Please pray for my dad.Thank\nyou…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n She once shared\nher impressive story with City People<\/em><\/strong>. In it she shared how she\ndabbled into interior decoration <\/em><\/strong>and property business <\/em><\/strong>when\nshe was in her early 20s, <\/em><\/strong>at a time other babes still depended on\ntheir daddy for sustenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How did she do\nit? How did she succeed? <\/em><\/strong>\u201cWhen I finished from LASU, <\/em><\/strong>I\nwent to the Island <\/em><\/strong>in Lagos <\/em><\/strong>to live with my friend.\nThen I met some guys who introduced me to real estate <\/em><\/strong>that was in\n2007<\/em><\/strong>. I set up my own company in 2009<\/em><\/strong>. I called it Whiterose\nProperties & Interiors Limited<\/em><\/strong>. I was into Interiors <\/em><\/strong>on\nthe Mainland <\/em><\/strong>before I went to the Island<\/em><\/strong>. When I\ngot to the Island <\/em><\/strong>I was looking for jobs and some guys introduced\nme to Real Estate<\/em><\/strong>. Being an Interior Decoration <\/em><\/strong>person\nthey told me that I would combine the 2<\/em><\/strong>. They said if I meet\npeople who want to take a house I still decorate it for them. I can still do\nthe interiors.\u201d Then, I worked with Legacy\nProperties <\/em><\/strong>in Victoria Island<\/em><\/strong>. He is my mentor. He was\nthe one that gave me, put me on what to do. I worked with him for like 2 <\/em><\/strong>years,\nthen I started my own company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How has the journey been? <\/em><\/strong>The journey has been a tough one. But I thank God<\/em><\/strong>. We have grown. Now, we develop properties. We Buy <\/em><\/strong>and Sell<\/em><\/strong>. Real Estate <\/em><\/strong>is a very good business, but it has a lot to do with your integrity. You have to be loyal. You have to be patient; you have to learn how to manage people, because you will meet different kinds of people. Sometimes some clients will come and they will insult you, they will be rude. You have to take it because you are going to get business from them. Aside from that, we get clients through referrals. So you have to be nice to your clients, so that you can get them to introduce other people to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Where does she\noperate from? <\/em><\/strong>\u201cFrom\nLekki Phase I. <\/em><\/strong>Our office is in Lekki Phase I<\/em><\/strong>.\nWe\u2019ve been doing fine. God <\/em><\/strong>has been so kind to me. What course\ndid she study in school? \u201cI studied Business Administration <\/em><\/strong>in LASU,\n<\/em><\/strong>but right now I am studying Law <\/em><\/strong>in UNILAG <\/em><\/strong>because\nI plan to go into Politics<\/em><\/strong>. I want to come out in my state. I am\nfrom Osun State<\/em><\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n What her your\nfamily background like? <\/em><\/strong>\u201cI am from a polygamous family. I am\nfrom a family of 21<\/em><\/strong>. I came to Lagos <\/em><\/strong>in 2002<\/em><\/strong>.\nI ran away from home to Lagos<\/em><\/strong>. I left my father to come to Lagos\nto pursue a career. Right from when I was very young I had been saving up. All\nthe money they used to give me to eat in school, I was saving it. Because we\nare many in my house I knew I had to be saving and provide for my brothers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRight from that\nearly day I alreadys knew I had to have my own money. So, I ran from my house\nto Lagos<\/em><\/strong>. When I came to Lagos<\/em><\/strong>, I was squatting\nwith people. I sold pure water <\/em><\/strong>to survive at some point. Then, I\nsent myself to school. My friends abandoned me then when things were rough. My\nfather will send messages to me to come back home. He will say please come\nback, did I pursue you from home, come back home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhen I finished school, I worked with one interior decoration company<\/em><\/strong>. That was where I got the idea of how to furnish a house. When I started doing my own interior, furnishing business, I never moved to the Island <\/em><\/strong>and some guys now introduced me to real estate. I now decided to go and work with somebody. I was not working with him because of salary. No. I wanted to learn, out of interest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why did she name\nher company Whiterose? <\/em><\/strong>\u201cBecause of what the name depicts\u201d she says. \u201cThe interior\ndecoration company <\/em><\/strong>I worked with is called Rosemary <\/em><\/strong>in Omole\nEstate<\/em><\/strong>. They are in Lekki <\/em><\/strong>now. Rosemary <\/em><\/strong>is\nall about flowers, so I was looking for a simple name like that, that has to do\nwith Rose. So, I thought of Whiterose<\/em><\/strong>, it is for special people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cShe is a very stylish lady. How did\nthat aspect of her develop?\u201d <\/em><\/strong>I love fashion. I am a fashionista. I love\nto look good. Anytime I go out I want to stand out. And for the kind of job, I\ndo you have to always look good. Being in Real Estate <\/em><\/strong>you have to\nalways look good. You have to look the part. I always tell my colleagues if you\nwant to make money in real estate you have to look good \u2013 your dressing is part\nof it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou have to\nwear a nice perfume. You have to be attractive. When I started off real estate\nI didn\u2019t have a car then, so I used to dress well then, put on nice perfume to\nsmell nice, because if your friend carries you and sees that you don\u2019t smell\nnice it would count against you and they won\u2019t want to call you again. So you\nhave to always look nice\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n City People <\/em><\/strong>can tell you\nthat Whiterose Nigeria Limited<\/em><\/strong>, is an urban real estate development<\/em><\/strong>,\nsales and management firm <\/em><\/strong>with office in Lagos<\/em><\/strong>.
