Nigerian lady, Jemimah Joseph Aniekebo was abandoned by her father when she was just a girl – her dad left her, her sisters and her mother because they were all female children and couldn’t possibly amount to much, but Jemimah proved the naysayers wrong and went on to become a safety engineer.
She has shared her story on Instagram to inspire other people to surmount whatever mountain is before them. According to her, her father said he couldn’t possibly invest in a female child and revealed the best they could hope to be were prostitutes.

Today, contrary to her father’s belief, Jemimah is an entrepreneur and a safety engineer. Her story below:
