Where to buy Okrika or fairly used Bale
Since we published this article, we’ve received different kinds of questions from our readers who just want to look good wearing branded clothes, shoes, and bags but with a very low budget. Questions ranging from

I do not want to deceive or give you false hope. Every lady and even some men also want to buy Okrika bale and sell it to make money because a lot of people have made millions even without having a physical.
I know someone that runs an online store of brand new fashion items that she imports from abroad and all the effort to find answers online leads nowhere because the people who have the know-how learned the hard way and are not interested or even ready to give the knowledge and experience away but thankfully some give this information with a token.
My advice to you is to attend training on how to import and in the process, you will meet people of like minds who most likely have the connection you need. If you sell online and you are not following @hustlersquare on Instagram, then you are missing. She posts information about such training and even more.
