Media personality Ebuka Obi Uchendu has left many inspired after he opened up about his days of being jobless.
In an interview with Channels Television’s ‘Morning Dew’, Ebuka recounted his rise to fame, sharing his heartbreaking experiences and struggles before fame.
The BBNaija’s host disclosed that he spent his money studying entertainment law in the UK because he had a dream of opening a big law firm; unfortunately, his dream didn’t come to pass as he couldn’t get a job.
To worsen things, he faded from the spotlight after his appearance on Big Brother Naija, which made many forget him in the entertainment industry.
According to him, he became extremely confused, suffered depression, and almost gave up his dreams of becoming a TV host until luck smiled on him.
He was able to get a show as a TV host, and from there, the media personality was able to get back on his feet as he learned a lot of things that shaped him as a person.
Touching on his dream of owning a law firm, Ebuka noted how the entertainment industry in Nigeria doesn’t value entertainment lawyers, hence why a majority of artists end up fighting their record labels. And due to a lack of finances, he gave up his dream of owning a law firm.
Many who were left inspired by his words took to social media to applaud him for not giving up.
One The Obi wrote, “Na who give up fuck up. Don’t give up no matter what!
One Queen Of D Sun wrote, “This so encouraging, thank you Ebuka. Watch the last slide it’s d summary
One Coprakary wrote, “Na so the system of that country be oo
One Murphy Ent wrote, “We all need to keep the faith someday the light will shine on our path”.
