Reality TV star, Iheme Faith Uloma aka Ifu Ennada, has taken to social media to share her childhood struggles in order to motivate her fans against giving up.

The former BBNaija housemate revealed that she and her entire family had to relocate to the village twice because the cost of living in Lagos was beyond their financial means.

She also disclosed that she started working hard to fend for herself since she was 15 years old, which accounts for her serious approach towards life.

Sharing a throwback photo of herself, Ifu recounted how she starved a lot growing up and in the village, she helplessly watched her younger brother die because they couldn’t afford good healthcare.

In a lengthy caption, she wrote,

Progress Report‼️ Before you say God has not been good to you, look at what he saved you from!

In my old picture I was dried up from starvation, not sickness, pure starvation, but you can see the smile on my face and the ipad in my hand – a sign that Hope was/is still alive and that I was still working.
___
Some things that got me through my very tough days were; thinking of a great future, dreaming gigantic dreams and working towards achieving them.
___
I was born with “no spoon” at all and moved back to the village twice when we couldn’t afford to live in Lagos anymore. It was in the village I helplessly watched my younger brother die in front of me because we were so poor we couldn’t afford good healthcare…
___
I’ve been working my a$$ off since I was 15 and have always had to work hard for every single thing I have, maybe this is why I take life too serious sometimes.
____
I call myself “Ifu Ennada”, which means “Nothing is Impossible with God”. I do not take God’s Grace for granted and will always have Faith in Him, no matter how things get or how many times I cry.
____

I’m writing all these to motivate someone out there who might be on the verge of giving up!
___
Pls don’t! Think of me as God’s sign to you that things will fall into place some day!
____
This year alone I have lost more than I can count, I have been depressed and went bald from stress induced alopecia (my @beautifuennada products saved me), but I did not come this far to give up…I’m not even where I want to be. However, I’m grateful.
___
So my Darlings reading this long a$$ note, DO NOT GIVE UP! As long as there’s life, there’s hope and as long as there’s God, NOTHING IS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE!

Eeyah! Take heart

too bad

Ok

Eya ..rip to the dead

and to people wey dey beef glory without knowing ur story..thunda faya u

Poverty is a disease, if you're poor and still happy with yourself, he mean say suffer never tire your.

I remember when i was socking only garri and groundnut on a steady, I will break the ground into 2 part and use each of the half to eat 2 spoon of garri.

I remember that year, I couldn't afford to see a movie in a cinema, I will take my babe to hostel common room and be watching some nonsense movie.

Just like in school their is 100 level 200 level, but life is in stages and level. Nor be say he dor better for us, but we are better than what we were before, hunger nor fit kill man wey get hope.


#Believe
#Giveup nor join

even if being poor is OK with you, just get money for the sake of innocent people you will drive to this world


poverty is a sin even God detest it

Her throwback looks older than her recent picture

There is always light at the end of the tunnel if you don't give up

Perhaps, she could have won the show if her fans got to know this prior now.
Dem Laycon Icon comes to mind.
They really sold his poverty story everywhere, and people chop am rush rush!
Mind of an average Nigerian!

And your holding iPad?

Here is your answer. Maybe it will help you to assimilate and understand berrer.

In my old picture I was dried up from starvation, not sickness, pure starvation, but you can see the smile on my face and the ipad in my hand – a sign that Hope was/is still alive and that I was still working.

Only God can change people's story

No condition is permanent. As far as their is life, their is hope if you have confident in G0D.

I hate ladies that talks too much, everybody have their stories, please keep yours to yourself.
