"My inspiration is from God, I never knew I would be a shoemaker. I graduated from the University six years ago, after which I looked for for job, but to know avail," she said in an interview with Lukmon of Wazobia Global Times USA.
"At sometimes I got employed by a company in Lagos, but the boss was owing too much so I left. On how it started, there is this other company I buy sandals in Lagos and resell. They sell nice shoes, so one day I thought to myself that I can tell this people to make sandals for me with my label, so I approached them and they said yes. That was how I got my first set of shoes. Then a friend introduced me to a guy that makes shoes. I watch him make shoes one day and I was amazed then I asked him to teach me and he did."
"I always tell people I come in contact with that are looking for job to start something, anything you are good at can bring money to you or just learn a trade.

Your title is insulting. There are millions of graduates all over the world who went to the best colleges for shoe making. Some of the best institutions teach shoe making and other related degree programs. I should know.
Yes, "The Graduate" Michelle Ekure has photographed a nice pair of shoes ... it's too bad because the same can not be said of her written English.
Nice concept,keep it up dear,sky is jst your starting point
Terrible English.
Hey see my course mate that year oooo. Nice one babe

God will surely reward you in one way or the other.

When you go to school and read a nonsense course, what do you expect?
Ukpah!!
Wow!
I'm motivated even as a MAN
Wow!!
I love this, she will surely reap the fruit of her hard work
God bless your hustle babes.
You are a fool !!!!
What is a nonsense course and a sensible course?
U must not be thinking straight for this type of comment
You r daft
Wow! Bravo
Lack of job is a serious cancer disease this country is suffering frm
She is an inspiration...#onMYway...
Great.
She's fine sha!
She fine sha!
Fool. She was looking for job for 6years. That means from the time Jonathan got into power till he left. Now you are blaming Buhari. Your logic makes no sense- New yorker
God bless your labour, inspiring dear
You are obviously the one with self esteem issues.
Wow I an happy with wat I am seeing.congratulations sis ..I am happy for you.
My thoughts exactly. If she writes like that, what employer of labor would want to take her on? She and her types are the reasons why the values of education keeps going down.
And we only see the photo of a single shoe that looks like it's factory finished.
I doubt if u read this write up well. She made that shoe herself, not repair. Over Sabi odibe Blessing.
Ode stern...6years she graduated and no job...Buhari became president last year...Blame no one for your failure...mumu dey smell
My dear blessing,please do read the story again,perhaps you will read the part she said,"she asked a guy who makes shoe to teach her"...she makes HER own, not Sell for someone.
See beyond that and concentrate on her message. SMH for you.
Sweet girl..
Linda this girl was my class mate I she didn't graduate with us she is lying I can send my certificate to u let her show hers too I knw this girl very well she never graduated she is lying. As far as am concern she is not a graduate from uniben if somebody tells u she is a graduate and have no job let d person show u her results simple
Instead of u guys to go and learn and get a handwork you are here calling out Buhari. Hunger wei go pursue una in the next seven years is still in ovulation period.
Odibe Blessing u are such a big fool! It's obvious ur retard brain doesn't allow u to understand simple written English. Grow up and stop being on Lib 247. Ur mates are achieving it big time & u are here talking about self esteem as if u hv any!! She is already has 6 pple working for her & even prettier than ugly & hungry vulture like u. Sit down there, self esteem kor self-esteem ni. Anu ofia lyk u!!!

Nice meeting u Michelle...nice job
kudos to the young lady for not just sitting down at home for lack of job, buh rather doing something about it.
There are alot small manufacturing business ideas that Nigerians can take advantage of, for them to have a smiling face even in this Nigerian economic downturn
U are indeed a bigger fool...
Bean clark, i never met you in IDS 2009/2010 class, but i did know of Michelle. Am sure you are using a pseudo name here. But that your claim that Michelle never graduated is very serious and subject to investigation.
Cecelia James from get it right nigeria it's me osazee osabuohien Michelle didn't graduate with us she was our class mate but she didn't graduate. Now u knw me
Must u make senseless comments.
Wow.....wonderful!
Osazee Osabuohien, am highly disappointed in you, that you attempt to drag down an honest hard working youth like yourself simply because according to you she didnt graduate at the same time with you... what does it really matter if we all graduated at the same time or not? after all some people spill and return to complete their courses and receive their certificates, and that my dear Osas doesnt make them drop outs. Moreover, i don't know what job you obtain with your certificate, i am yet to get any employment using even my master degree certificate. am sure if you still live in Nigeria, you should know there are no jobs in this country, unless for those who are connected to the Sanusis and Buharis; or those who are willing to do the unimaginable to give themselves a way forward. So my dear, osazee osabuohien pls hold your that your "she did not graduate with us" fire and let Michelle be, shes is hard working and dedicated to work she does. i have followed up her progress on the shoe-making since she started, and am really proud of her progress and you too ought to be. you of all people should know better than attempt to rubbish her genuine efforts; so pls lets encourage good effort and progress. Weldon Michelle, i still owe you that free promo i promised you on www.getitrightnigerians.com so whenever you need me to do your placement, you know what to do girl.
