Nollywood actress and TV host Nancy Isime, has shared a heartfelt story about her early days as a struggling model and usher.
In a heartfelt social media post, Isime revealed that at the age of 17, she would often work late-night jobs with no way to get home, forcing her to walk long distances or sleep on chairs and rugs at event venues.
"Yes, my family was always worried, especially my dad, but I'm a dangerous gyal and it's best to let me figure out life my way, else the rebellion is quite rebellious." the actress stated.
During this challenging time, Nancy revealed she approached singer, Yemi Alade, whom she had met through a mutual social circle, and requested a temporary shelter.
The TV host stated that Yemi welcomed her into her home without hesitation, allowing her to stay for weeks without complaint.
"I stayed for weeks and this woman NEVER EVER complained. In fact, the peace was too much" she recounted.
Isime expressed deep gratitude for the singer's kindness, describing her as peaceful, considerate, and full of positive energy.
She stated,
"Many years later, I still have the softest spot for Yemi and will eternally be grateful to her for being one of the bookmarks of kindness and generosity in my life."
Isime revealed that after gaining admission into the university, she was able to secure her own apartment in the same building as Yemi, and their friendship continued to blossom.
She said, "My Padi @yemialade, I dey for you for life!"
