She used to roast over 150 tubers of yam each day,  however, the economic recession had forced her to reduce the quantity to 100.

Mrs Nwosu said she had started the business because her husband’ s low earnings and a welder wasn't enough to take care of their family need.
“My husband is a welder by profession but with the current situation of things in the country, what he is getting cannot sustain the family ; so, I engaged myself in the yam roasting business to support him so that our family will not suffer ,” she explained.

At least that’s according to the findings of a new survey from Charlie. We surveyed 533 single (defined as never married) women ages  18 to 40 in to find out how they think about finances when it comes to finding “the one.” According to the results, women are waiting until well into their relationships to have the “money talk.” If they don’t like what they hear, bad news: most women view potential beaus or belles with a large amount of debt as more of a liability, than an anchor. The majority of single women these days don’t believe that marriage is necessarily the ticket to financial stability.
