Oga Obinna’s And The Tailor Shop
According to the star, his primary school best friend offered him shelter ah his father’s place of work where he used to sleep too.
The comedian revealed how the friend would sneak him into his father’s shop every night, where they would transnight knitting skirts and dresses for their village girlfriends.
He noted that the moment was one of his lowest as he had lost hope and was leading a very life-threatening lifestyle, characterised with absconding school, poverty and all manner of demeaning experiences.
”You know even me, in 2005 I slept in a tailor’s shop, that is one thing we have in common. My best friend’s father used to have a workplace. She he would wait until his father had gone to the house and he would sneak me in. Then, I would run away from home and even quit school, so I had nowhere to go. We would listen to No Air by Chris Brown and say, ‘One day we will make it,’. We would knit skirts and dresses for our girls the entire night. And that is how we used to sleep on customers’ fabric.” He disclosed.
