In an emotional interview on the Lucky Udu Experience, the Benue State University alumnus talked candidly about the moral and financial strains she currently faces after moving to Abuja. Some people are fortunate in life, while others must strive. She added, “I don’t know what some of my friends do for a living, but I feel like my time will come.” People in Nigeria don’t make enough money, therefore they turn to unlawful means of earning it. She tried to make ends meet during NYSC by selling headbands with her allowance each month. But after the program’s conclusion, surviving has gotten much harder.

She spoke on her present aspirations for the future, saying, “Since I couldn’t get a good job, I’m just trying to see if I can save up money and get a shop to start up something else too.” “Because most times when I come back from walking to sell my headbands, I will be very sick and would have to buy drugs.”CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
