It started from being the 7th child out of ten
from Anambra State and heading to Lagos
State University for a diploma course in
and finally, I went back for a degree course in
2000. I remember when I decided that I would
study Theatre Arts, everyone saw me as a
# useless person. I have a diploma in # Radio ,
# Television and Film Production while my
degree was in Theatre Arts. A cousin took me
to a welders shop to go learn, # Refused , he
said i should go to mechanic workshop to
learn how to repair cars but I refused and
finally he said the last help he would do for
me was to learn how to fix motor cycle
'Okada' and in his words he says that was
where my destiny lies; well I had to sell things
to survive. I sold ice water at Yaba market, did
bus conductor once in a while just to survive
with a friend called Mutiu. Joining the movie
industry wasn't easy in 1995, I remember days
of walking from Kilo to Fadeyi or walk from
Utziz Garden near 23rd to Mile 2, and take a
bus to Oshodi from there to take Molue to
Iyana Ipaja & from the bus stop; I’d trek to my
aunt’s place in Alimosho. I just give God the
glory for the good things he has done for me.
I won’t say it is little, especially when I
compare it to where I am coming from.
I am better off now, from hawking ‘ice water
and mineral’ soft drinks at Yaba Market to
Representing Africa at the 2012 Olympic
where i lifted the torch to riding cars. I tell you
this today to inspire you and let you know that
# ThereIsAStarinEveryone I don't see
challenges i only see opportunity. This is
# MySuperStarStory
