Why I shut down my 6-year-old perfume business, laid off staff – OAP N6 painfully recounts

OAP N6 laments economic crisis with personal experience


Rapper and On-Air-Personality, Nnamdi Nwabasili, aka N6, has shared how the harsh economic policies of the Bola Tinubu-led administration made him close down his perfume business.

He revealed that the six-year-old business was shut down in March 2024 as his customers could not pay the new prices due to the increase in the interest rate.

The entrepreneur had to lay off his nine staff.

His tweet was a reaction to the complaint of an activist Akin Olaoye, who said he was shutting down the Allen Avenue Ikeja location of his business.

Other netizens also shared their displeasure about the dwindling economy and how it is affecting businesses. Meanwhile, some peeps sympathized with N6 and Akin Olaoye.

mrblingy: “Person go chop first before smelling nice. It’s a blood bath out there.”

puffshow1: “So sad, but you can still bounce back, source for locally made perfumes and investment 70% of your existing capital. Let start patronizing made in Nigeria. Let fight this FX together.”
