Annie
Idibia, wife of Nigerian music Legend, Tuface Idibia, has revealed that
she went through thick and thin while growing up to make ends meet.
The
Nollywood movie star who spoke as a guest at the just concluded
‘YourDreamsOurReality’ series at Terra Kulture in Eve Secondary School,
Lagos, revealed she once sold pepper soup with her mother to keep up
with living.
The
mother of two, who urged the crowd of students not to give up on their
dreams, said, “I want you all to follow your dreams. I don’t want you to
feel like the next person is more privileged than you and use that as
an excuse for failure.
“I
had no break time when I was in secondary school because I had to go to
the market during breaks to buy pepper soup things from the market and
put in the fridge for my mom to cook and sell in the evening. And after
school, I would assist her in selling.
She said she had to do that because that was how their fees were paid.
Annie
said, “I didn’t have a better option, so I had to do that to help my
mother. And that was how I and my brothers’ school fees were paid.
“Today, I am living my dream,” she added.
