She doesn’t talk about this part of her life, but this girl right before you is an orphan and an only child, she never got the chance to know what it feels to have a mom
Big Brother Naija level-up housemate, Chinenyenwa Desire Okoebor, Chichi, has shared her journey into orphanhood with fellow housemate, Deji.
The exotic dancer told Deji that she grew up not knowing the love of a mother as she was abandoned for her father to raise alone.
Sadly, she continued, her father was poisoned to death while she was still at a tender age, leaving her to cope with the tough life of an orphan.
Narrating the event to Deji, Chichi said she doesn’t like to talk about that part of her life as it makes her very emotional.
Shedding more light into her childhood, the housemate’s handler gave more details into Chichi’s life in an Instagram post following the revelation.
The handler wrote: “A story she always struggles to share cause it opens up old wounds that never fully heals. She doesn’t talk about this part of her life, but this girl right before you is an orphan and an only child, she never got the chance to know what it feels to have a mom. She was abandoned by her mom and she grew up with her dad, only to lose him at a tender age.
“She had to fend for herself, to fight. She wanted more from life, and she knew she had to work for it all by herself. People wonder where her competitive side came from, people wonder why she’s been so defensive, she has never had anyone to do that for her. Now having you all by her side, rooting for her, defending her, and loving her is the biggest blessing in her life ❤️.”
