Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has shared a part of her life most of her fans never knew until now: she has always been a hustler.
Sharing on her Instagram page, the actress revealed that after she graduated from the secondary school in 1996, she was asked to register for computer lessons, but she opted to work as a sales officer with a gift shop, a move she never shared with her family.
“I cldnt wait to start making my own money, my parents thought I had enrolled for computer training but instead I saved d money giving to me n got a job @ a gift store named Bolpan as a sales girl on opebi,” she said.
However, she did not last on the job because a friend of the family busted her – her family trouped to her place of work, made trouble with her employer, then dragged her home.
“You need to see d convoy my family drove down to come fight with my boss n take me back home,” she said.
Though it was an embarrassing moment, it marked the beginning of a new journey for Iyabo. Her parents, seeing her tenacious business inclinations, opened a store for her when she turned 21.
“I have never stopped doing business ever since,” she added.
