She said:

"I just don't know why this country is like this. This is the second time that Nigeria is happening to me. Even with the fact that I have this disability, I don't let things get to me. I'm still hustling, I'm trying to look for ways to make it. Only for me to like, resume the job, and I was already talking to the client—this is my asset here, right? They told me they had to discontinue the contract because they could not hear me.
I had to even do data on my MTN and this thing [Airtel]. You know all the money I've spent? I spent all my savings into this thing, like, oh, I felt like I got something that would start paying me. You understand? I was really excited, I was posting the series, I was posting everything... just for Nigerian network to just f me up.
