Days after the mayhem unleashed on Lagos by hoodlums, Tara Fela-Durotoye summoned the courage to visit her shops.
The miscreants took advantage of the confusion caused by the #Lekkimassacre to cause colossal damage shopping malls, public and private properties.
Tara was left her in awe as she struggled to hold back tears and stay brave in front of her staff.
An inspection of the premises showed that all her shelves were “cleaned out” by the rampaging vandals.
Tara only managed to reassure her staff that her “theme for this year is ‘resilience.’ 2020 is still our year. It is sad, but we will rebuild.”
She thanked God that none of her staff members was around when the looting was going on because they could have been injured.
The beauty entrepreneur also took a tour of the shopping complex to find that equally looted and destroyed were shops belonging to close friends.
Her discovery left her equally horrified but fired up to come back stronger after taking solace in the scriptures.
In her message to fans and customers, Tara Fela-Durotoye said that:
“I got the courage to visit my vandalized store yesterday to see the extent of the damage .
“The destruction to economic assets in this singular mall alone is disheartening .
“Spoke to some entrepreneurs who are BROKEN as a result .
“I always find comfort in the book of wisdom .This is where I found comfort today
“Habakkuk 3:17-19
17 Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,(A)
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.
19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength;(
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to tread on the heights.
“SAY AFTER ME “THE SOVEREIGN LORD IS MY STRENGTH “
“Tag an affected Entrepreneur.”
