The CEO of Kris Electronics Store has shared his remarkable journey from serving as an Nwaboy to building one of the fastest-growing electronics businesses in Lagos.

In a post on his Instagram page, the entrepreneur revealed that his story began in 2009 when he left home to serve his uncle in Lagos, who was into the electronics trade.

Struggles and near-giving up

The early days were tough, as his shop lacked stock and sales were slow. “I would come to the shop for a whole day and wouldn’t make a single sale. I was frustrated and almost felt like giving up, but I kept trusting the process,” he wrote.

Breakthrough and expansion
