Mrs. Aisha is a 38 years old married woman with a child. She is a secondary school certificate holder who plies her trade in the Mile12 area of Lagos. Her trade is the making of Zobo drinks and Plantain/Potato Chips which she makes herself for sale.

1. 1. The role of paying one’s self salary from a business
