‘I’m so tired’ – Bebe Jewelry’s last video before her death

Popular Lagos-based businesswoman Bebe Jewelry, who operated from Trade Fair Market, left behind an emotional video shortly before her untimely death in China, where she had journeyed to procure goods for her enterprise. In the video, Bebe opened up about the physical and emotional strain of her entrepreneurial journey, expressing her exhaustion after days spent hunting for products.

She lamented, "I’m tired, so tired. Money matter no easy o. Ah God, bless the works of my hands o." To all women tirelessly working, she added, "We will not die young. We will all live to eat the fruit of our labour." Bebe highlighted that while many witness the success of hardworking entrepreneurs, they often remain oblivious to the sacrifices, stress, and challenges that accompany such achievements.

She concluded by praying for God's blessings upon herself and every dedicated woman striving to build a brighter future. Describing her current state, she lamented the excruciating pain in her leg and the oppressive heat in the market, where even the air conditioning seemed inadequate. She fervently prayed to God, imploring Him not to allow the enemy's eyes to see or overpower her.

Tragically, CCTV footage later revealed her reportedly collapsing and succumbing to her condition during a business trip in China. Her demise has left many Nigerians in mourning, prompting social media users to contemplate the pressures of hustle culture and the critical need for prioritising health while striving for success.
