Mama Joy, a mother of nine children now in her 70s. is an embodiment of hardwork, patience, commitment and doggedness. She was able to use her business to train three of her children at the University, as she also support her husband, who couldn’t take good care of the family financially.
Within 30 years, she was able to train her children through primary, secondary and the tertiary institutions.
According to her, she started roasting yam by the road side, three decades ago when she was introduced to a man who sells yam at the Yandoya axis in Jos North Local Government Area, Plateau state, he gave her the yam on credit, and payment is made after sales.
She added that yam worth #130,000 was collected from the trader, after paying him back, she realised a huge profit of #13,000 , with this, she was motivated to put more efforts to her business.

However, mama who is now aged, said she is not ready to quit her roadside roasting, that even when her children wanted opening a provision store for her she refused, saying she is enjoying doing what she doing.
