Why I Almost Got Sacked — and How It Changed Everything
Promise Madu
CEO & Founder, Leomise Enterprise
In 2020, everything was falling apart. I was struggling to meet up with everything I was responsible for. I didn't want to lose my job. I didn't want to lose my husband.
Every time I mopped the floor or cleaned the toilet, I never got the satisfaction I expected. The white toilet floor and the water closet were becoming discoloured. The tiles were no longer in good shape. The colours were embarrassing — even though I cleaned for more than an hour every time.
Then I remembered a time before all this — when I made my own cleaning agent and everything was always sparkling white. So I went back to the drawing board.
I spent time perfecting the formula. I created a new 2-in-1 cleaning agent that does what no regular detergent can do. I tested it. The results amazed even me.
My friends who had mocked me were now stunned by what they saw. They encouraged me to share it. And that's how Leomise was born. Today, over 1,000 families across Nigeria use Leomise — and they never go back.
