Nollywood actress, Annie Idibia took a walk down memory lane and recounts her struggles at a very tender age till date.

The wife of legendary singer, Tuface disclosed on her Instagram page that while others had time to play in their secondary school days, she had to sneak out of school to carry on with her mother’s side business.

Her post read:

“Looking at the beautiful young Annie in these pictures is lovely. You’ve been through all sorts of hell from a very young age, with so many responsibilities from so young. That girl never gave up.”

“From SS1 she never knew what it felt like to go on ‘break time’ like other kids in school because that was when she sneaked out of school to the market to get her mother’s pepper soup ingredients that she would have to cook after school to sell in front of their Boys Quarters in Mobil, VI.

“She will wait till her single mother gets off work at 7pm to take over from her , those hours before 7 pm were the longest ever because she would have only a few hours left to study and do her homework before bedtime.”

“I want to thank me for never giving up on me. For all the No’s I didn’t allow to discourage me and lose focus,” her post read.

“Girl, you have come a long way, Adulthood is still the hardest. The saying, ‘whatever doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger,’ is the true interpretation of the life of this girl; now a strong woman! I have not even started, just only scratching the surface now.”

Jason Derulo, the American singer, says he earns more from his car washing business than music.

Derulo, who owns a car wash business called Rocket CarWash, shared in an interview that the venture has become more profitable than his music career.

He said he did not expect the business to be so successful, especially since he has never advertised it.

He added that Rocket CarWash is a unique glass-walled facility where customers can watch the car washing process as if it were a show.

“It’s true that I make more money from my car washing business than my music. It’s pretty crazy. It’s something that I didn’t expect at all. I got into it, I thought that it would be good but I didn’t think that was going to be a life-changing event,” he said.

“You know what’s crazy? I have never even advertised my car washing business. It’s pretty amazing. It’s a super car wash. It’s not like the ones you’re probably used to. It’s all glass so when your car is being washed, everybody can see the action. It’s like a show.”

Derulo is best known for hits like ‘Whatcha Say’, ‘Talk Dirty’, and ‘Savage Love’.
