In an interview with Ifeaoma Ononye, Winnifred shared her story on how she started on YouTube after she quit a well-paid job in an oil company. When asked why she quit a well-paid job in an oil factory, she disclosed that her passion for cooking made her quit her job.

 

“I have a strong passion for cooking, I love to cook so much. I wasn’t really excited working in an oil company. The passion I had for cooking was screaming louder than the oil company job” she told the host.

“So at some point, I had to choose between my satisfaction and fulfillment, happiness and the money that I was being paid at the 9 to 5 job. After thinking about it, I had to choose what made me happy, even though I didn’t know where it was going to lead me or how far it was going to take me. I didn’t know what I was doing at the beginning. I just jumped on it and that is how I started my culinary career”, she added.

 

Everyone around me thought I was crazy to quit the job. Because at that time, Nigeria’s economy was witnessing its worse recession. But I just had to do what I want. I believed that I had something deep down inside me that needed to come out.
