She related how, following her father’s death, she was forced to reside in the barracks in Abuja.
“My mother was in the military following the loss of my dad. In order to aid with housing, we were forced to relocate into the Abuja barracks.
“My sister and I used to sell recharge cards, fresh water, and eggs around our side when I was a student at the University of Port Harcourt. Since there wasn’t a nearby kiosk where you could buy those goods, we turned into the kiosk.
To be honest, I’m glad I went through that since it truly strengthened and shaped who I am.
“I’ve witnessed hardship, so I know what the hustle is like. I understand both worlds, so coming out on the other side and being this person,” she remarked.
