I wasn't born into a rich family—I was born into struggles. Growing up in Libreville, with roots deep in Anambra State, life wasn’t gentle with me.

We were eight children, fighting hunger and chasing dreams without any comfort. But inside me, a voice whispered, poverty ends right here with me. Acting became my way out, my quiet escape from pain and hardships.

Life didn’t hand me opportunities; I had to fight and create my own path. When people said I couldn't make it, I pushed harder. Step by step, I built a name, created wealth, and formed an empire.

Today, I travel everywhere, inspire others, and run businesses because my past didn’t define me—it shaped me. I didn’t start from wealth, but my journey is proof that your start doesn’t decide your finish. Riches didn't come from my family, but believe me, a wealthy family will come from me.
