Actress Adesuwa Etomi Narrates The Difficult Times She Passed Through Whilst Growing Up

Oh Dear!
She says a fridge was their closet for clothes....












She said ;


“We started off staying with dad’s sister, then dad’s brother, when those living situations didn’t work out, i stayed with my grandpa. When that didn’t work out, we moved to a property in a place called Jeba.

“My sister and I started living alone. That was quite hard because we were very young. There are days when there’d be no food.



“There were so much stuff in the place and it was just a room and a parlour, we used to fold our clothes in an empty freezer because there was no wardrobe.

“We went through our share of tough times, and I think that’s part of the things that have shaped who I am right now.



“I’m grateful for that experience and I wouldn’t want any child to go through that because no child should have to go through it. But that was the situation we found ourself and we made the best of it as much as we could.”

“I was African, [so the kids there would always tell me that], and they made it seem like something you should be ashamed. They tried to bully me but you can’t bully me.

“I stood up for myself. Bullying was quite a thing at the time. So you hear about lot of bullying stories,”

  6. "We used to fold our clothes in an empty freezer because that time there was no wardrobe" You even have an empty freezer to fold your clothes, a roof over your head, and probably eat three square meal and come here to write about tough time??

    2. That your own story is worse than hers does not make hers less painful...let her share her struggle in peace as she now has a platform, there will be someone that will be encouraged by it.

      When you eventually "blow" ensure to share yours too...this is not a who suffer pass competition. Thank you.

  10. My experience growing up was bad. We all live in an uncompleted room partially covered with carpet. God showed me mercy and I met a man when I was doing menial jobs and he took me to England. That house is completed but I'm not proud of where I came from so I decided not to do wedding after 2 kids because my rich inlaw would see my humble background and parent.

    1. Then why not upgrade your house? Why not empower your siblings and parents? Don't tell me you haven't taken care of your home after all these years? If you don't like the shame then fix it!

  11. Thank God for you, Adesua. However, sometimes, it is good to be careful what you put out online when no one is really asking. You and your siblings later schooled abroad after the who terrble "fridge cupboard" experience. Where did daddy (brig gen AI Etomi) suddenly get the money that was so transformational as a brigadier general in the Nigerian Army (retired August 2015)? Anyway, make we dey look you and your politician/singer/pastor husband.
