I used to sell recharge cards, pure water – Kim Oprah
Big Brother Naija reality show actress, Opara Chinonso Ibinabo, well known as Kim Oprah, has stated that throughout her hardships, she used to sell sachet water and recharge cards.
This was stated by Oprah during an interview with Taymesan on the Tea With Tay programme.
She shared her childhood experience, describing how she was forced to live in Abuja barracks after her father died.
“After my dad’s death, my mother was in the military. So we had to move into the barracks in Abuja to help with accommodation.
“When I went to University of Port Harcourt, my sister and I used to sell recharge cards, pure water and eggs around our side, because there was no closeby kiosk, where you could buy those things so we became the kiosk.
“Honestly, I’m just happy that I went through it because it really shaped me and made me stronger.
“I know what the hustle is, I have seen suffering. So coming out on the other side and being this person is like I understand both worlds,” she said
Kanyidaily recalls that Kim Oprah claimed people criticised her on social media for being too beautiful.
