The journey to stardom for her wasn’t a rosy one because she had to trade some of her valuables as a single mother to raise her daughter, who just celebrated her 15th birthday.

“Special shout out to all the single mums…I can relate, hmm I remember when I had to go sell my gold jewellery at Yaba just to pay Michelle ‘s school fees and for us to feed. I went through ‘HELL’”, she recounted.

She further stated, “Please stay focused, be determined, be hardworking and prayerful, put all your trust in the Lord because “we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus” and trust me you will rise above those challenges.

To all mothers, mothers to be , may the Lord continue to strengthen us and may we eat the fruit of our labour IJN. Responsible daddies you ain’t left out. Thank you all once again.”

    U even get gold and u are here talking about going through hell. You need to clean your mouth because you don’t know the meaning of going through hell. Ask a mother selling akara, ogi, especially firewood and okpa with up to five children, they will explain that phrase “going through hell” better for you. Some ppl don’t know when they talk rubbish. Mtcheeewwwww
