Popular Nigerian actress, Annie Idibia, has revealed that
she has been through hell from a very young age. The actress shared some of her
experiences while growing up, stating that she had it rough.
The celebrated screen diva and wife of Nigeria’s legendary
singer, 2baba, while sharing a video collage of her pictures growing up via her
verified Instagram page, took to the caption section to reveal some of the
hardship she faced growing up in their ‘Boys Quarters house in Mobil, VI’
Patting herself on the back, Idibia said, “Looking at the
beautiful young Annie in these pictures is lovely. I am so proud of you. I want
to give you a big warm hug. You have been through all sorts of hell from a very
young age, with so many responsibilities from so young. That girl never gave up
(never will still).”
She further revealed that since she got to SS1 in her
secondary school, she never enjoyed break time like other students as she had
to sneak out of school to carry on with her mother’s side business.
The actress continued, “From SS 1, she never knew what it
felt like to go on ‘break time’ like other kids in school because that was when
she sneaks out of school to rush to the market (the very old gateman, he was
definitely in his 50s, became her friend), to buy her mother’s pepper soup
ingredients that she would have to cook after school and sell in front of their
Boys Quarters in Mobil, VI.
“She will wait till
her single mother gets off work by 7 pm to take over from her (mom was a cook)
those hours before 7 pm were the longest ever because she would have only a few
hours left to study and do her homework before bedtime.”
The filmmaker mentioned that despite all she went through at
the time, she always wore a smile. Moreso, she bragged that when it came to her
academics, she was an ace student in mathematics and physics.
“Yet she always had a bright smile while serving their
customers. She was so good at mathematics and physics. If you had ever met her.
She always had a big bright smile to give with dreams way bigger than her (so I
thought). The universe always had a way of constantly blessing her. She had so
much love inside, so much love to give. Love so deep and unconditional.”
Idibia seized the opportunity to thank herself for never
giving up, saying, “I want to thank me for never giving up on me. For all the
NOs I did not allow to discourage me and lose focus. I want to thank me for
being so aggressive with my dreams and what I wanted. I want to thank me. I
want to hug you, young Annie.
“Girl, you have come a long way. and you have done well
(aspiring to do better and wiser). Adulthood is still the hardest. The saying,
‘whatever doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger,’ is the true interpretation of
the life of this girl; now a strong woman! I have not even started, just only
scratching the surface now.”
