      The famous actor gave a shocking but touching confession about her past at the Fresh Oil international church where she was called upon to minister. While speaking she said, "I was born with a silver spoon , but death turned me poverty- stricken, after my father died  when I was just nine. I turned away from God at this point because I felt disappointed despite how much my father loved and served God, he still died."
     She continued, " After my father died, my mother completely lost her mind. If she were living in the US, I'm sure she would have been diagnosed as a mental case. You know, in Nigeria, we don't consider people mad until they have started eating from dustbins .I rebelled against God at that point, and I stopped going to church at the age of nine."
      " However, I was a very brilliant girl and I got admission into the university at the age of sixteen. I became rascally and did what girls like that do. I slept with a man and became pregnant. It wasn't the Holy spirit that impregnated me. My mum was devastated and disappointed in me because of that because of that. I was also angry with her because 'her God' killed my father and we stopped speaking with each other"
     She continued " One day, a man came to me and said he needed a barge. I didn't know what it was and he told me that it was used to store oil. I then recalled that I had once seen a badge in the compound opposite ours. I went to the neighbor and told him I needed the badge. He asked me what I needed it for, but I told him not to worry. I told them to put the badge in front of my mother's house.
    " At that point, the man who told me he needed the barge came back, and dropped sacks of money containing 2 million naira with my mum because I was in school at that time. Two weeks  later, he returned with 5oo,ooo naira and I was dumbfounded. Before then, I had never see 100,000 naira  together , but there I was a millionaire at 17. Not knowing what to do with the money.

" I would have become a prostitute but I became restless and challenged destiny . Your life cannot change for the better until you challenge destiny" she concluded.
