I used to earn just

I used to earn just N10K as salary.

It was hard. Life was tough. I was working as a housemaid, doing everything I could to survive.

But I never gave up. I kept showing up, kept working, even when things didn’t make sense. One day, someone noticed me — a friend who saw how hard I worked. That friend told a movie producer about me. Just like that, my life changed.
I got a role in a film called The Maid.

I played a housemaid, just like I was in real life. I didn’t have to pretend — I just acted from my pain, my truth. That one scene changed everything for me. I was paid N100K and it felt like I had touched heaven. My story turned around overnight. I cried. I smiled. I felt seen.
Today, when I look back, I tell people — never stop believing in yourself. Even when things feel impossible, something good is coming. Just keep going. Your story will change too.
