“I Was Broke and Homeless” – Uriel Oputa Opens Up About Dark Days in Lagos
Ex Big Brother Naija Star, Uriel Oputa, recalled her early and homeless days in Lagos before her fame.
The reality star took to social media to share her story and revealed that she lived in a rental for 150,000 per night and was unsure of how she will keep up with payment.
“In November, I sold my car. I had no plans of coming back to Nigeria. My mum had just been diagnosed with something new, and I was preparing to move to London for two years to take care of her. I gave up everything. My car. My apartment. My Lagos routine. I left it all behind. But by December, everything changed.
“My brother told me to go back to Lagos. I was confused, heartbroken, and honestly had no direction. I had nowhere to stay and no plan. I ended up in a shortlet apartment paying ₦150,000 per day. I didn’t know how I was going to pay for it. But somehow, I did.”
