In a post on her IG page this
afternoon, actress Iyabo Ojo, shared her story of humble beginnings. She
disclosed how in the past, all she got from her ex was N100 to feed her son,
her unborn daughter and other relatives living with her. According to her, she
wasn't born poor, love made her journey down the lane of poverty and hardship.
Read her post after the cut...
Be grateful!
It helps u appreciate d little u have knowing fully well that there are better
days ahead! A time had been when all i got on a gud day in our one room
apartment where 2 of my inlaws also lived with us was 100 naira daily to feed
my son, my unborn daugther n my self which didnt even come regularly but with
love n gratitude i managed it knowing that i was still in a better place than
someone who was suffering from one deadly disease that had no cure n i also
believed that oneday i will have more than enough to go round bcos i deeply
believed in my self. i blamed no one 4 my mistakes, i took out my pain n
frustation on no one, i refuse to be lazy, i refuse to allow my mistake n
situation rule n take d better part of me 'yes! sometimes i break down,most
especially when my babies fell ill n i know say no money, hummm d tears where
so uncontrollable but i never gave up! I got a job, worked as a sales girl 4 a
while, sent my self to school doing part time, later got a better job n worked
as a secretary, i was so hard working that in few months i was promoted to a
site manager with a salary of then 18k monthly until oneday i lost my job bcos
they felt a male was better off. tho they did gud by paying me a 3months salary
upfront still i was very unhappy, i had 2 babies! i remember crying all d way
home that i missed my bus stop, again i blamed no one n i never lost hope i
then decided to start trading, i went into d business of buying n selling
clothes, i started my own business with just 30k chai i lost alot of weight o
bcos of d stress, dont be mistaken i wasnt born poor, love made me journey down
that lane but now am glad i did bcos i understand what it is to be poor n
appreciate every little thing i have achieved! Thank u Lord! Now am telling
part of my story to help encourage any poor mother who feels she cant make it
bcos she has kids n u ask ur self where do i start from, d society is bad, am
too much 4 this job, i have failed so i give up, No No No u can be d best of u,
never give up on ur self, start anyhow, even if u have to sell pure water or do
odd jobs. #proudmothers #strongwomen#mytruelifestory #bemotivated #beinspired
