Days back, Iyabo Ojo had lamented over the many burdens on her and her challenges with the Lagos State government.
She lamented over how she has to constantly pay all her taxes; be the breadwinner of her family, and pay the bills of over 30 people who depend on her.
To make it worse, since 2020, her business has been struggling, hence why she bought her house on a mortgage yet her bills keep increasing.
