At a press conference organized by popular Nollywood actress, Chika Ike, she disclosed she works hard because she grew up with nothing and once battled low self-esteem and hopelessness.
The Boss Up author while revealing the circumstances behind her birth and upbringing said;
“I didn’t have a good relationship with my father growing up because he wanted a male child. Those made me understand as a child that you have to fight for yourself because it is about you alone at the end of the day.
“People think I like money, the fear of failing makes me work hard. I always push myself to succeed and be the person everyone doubted me to be.
When I was little, people would ask me what gave me the impression I could become successful in life. I once struggled to pay my rent and I have been turned down by people many times.
I didn’t get here because I am beautiful or an actress; I kept pushing myself. I do things that you will never think I can do; nobody thought I would be given an admission at the prestigious Harvard Business School.”
She also said she was aware that everyone had a limited time to spend on earth, saying she had decided to live like there was no tomorrow. She added;
“I have been through a lot in my life; I have my ups and downs. I try to have a good life because life is too short. I lost my mother when she was still very young, which made me realise that we cannot live as long as we want. You don’t even know what can happen tomorrow; so, you have to embrace every moment.”
