July 25, (THEWILL) – This seems to be the question on the lips of clients and fans of Tosin Dekalu, a law graduate from the University of Westminster in the United Kingdom, who relocated to Nigeria to resuscitate a shoe business her mother closed down some years ago. Not much has been heard about the beautiful lady who runs Lady Cobbler, the upscale shoe repair company in Lagos and people are wondering what she has been up to.
A quick check on Tosin’s social media pages indicates that her last post was in 2019, while her official business handle was updated in May this year. She was also last seen at a public function in 2019. She attended the Lagos Leather Fair where she was part of the master class conversation. The Ajose Adeogun branch of her business was closed down in 2020 when Covid-19 ravaged the world. Tosin cut her teeth in the shoe repair business under the tutelage of her mother, Lande Dekalu when she was a teenager. She later left Nigeria to finish schooling abroad and came back later to start her career. She started in the banking sector before moving to Oil and Gas. In 2006, she resuscitated her mum’s shoe repair business “Lady Cobbler” and also opened branches across the state. The successful entrepreneur who was a regular face at social functions and shindigs has however recoiled into her shell and nothing has been heard about her in recent time.
