Nollywood actress, Annie Idibia, has recalled her experience with
poverty when she was young.
The actress was expressing her happiness for appearing on the cover of
the March issue for Glamour South Africa magazine when she mentioned she once
shared a room with three men, who happens to be her brothers.
Annie via her Instagram page on Wednesday night recalled how she and her
siblings would go to the neighbourhood to watch colour TV at another person’s
house because their parents couldn’t afford one.
Appreciating her maker for the new height, Annie Idibia said that
the daughter of a cook (herself) can confidently tell that dreams actually come
true.
Annie’s post comes shortly after she had revealed she would star in a
lead role in the debut season of an unscripted reality TV show, Young, Famous,
and African.
In the show, Annie would star alongside her husband, Tanzanian singer
Diamond Platnumz, actor Khanyi Mbau, rapper Nadia Nakai, and a host of others.
Her role in the reality TV show, and her life as a mum and actress, were
part of the highlights of the magazine.
Sharing her past on Instagram to enlighten and encourage her followers,
Annie wrote: “Yes! Mama, I made it. We made it! This is so, so huge for me (Oh
God knows) @glamour_sa.
“Now just look at that cook’s daughter who used to live in a one-bedroom
‘boys quarter’ with her three brothers; who used to watch colour television in
the next-door neighbour’s room because their mother couldn’t afford a colour TV
at that time. #GraceFoundMe
“My name is Annie Macaulay Idibia. I can tell you that dreams actually
come true.”
Referring to her latest achievements, she said: “It’s Naija o’clock. I
can’t wait for the whole world to see Africa; to see us; to see me.”
