2021 Big Brother Naija Winner, Whitemoney, on Friday visited the chairman of the Lagos State National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), MC Oluomo.
The Lagos NURTW boss, sharing a video of the meeting with the 2021 BBNaija winner on his Instagram page, expressed his surprise over the visit.
Speaking further, Oluomo said he had a productive conversation with the entrepreneur and musician
MC Oluomo wrote “I was surprised when the winner of bbnaija season 6 Hazel Oyeze Onoduenyi aka White Money @whitemoney_ pay me a courtesy visit.
“I had a fruitful discussion with him and I must confess it’s nice having him around. Thanks @olufunmilagos for making this happen. Wishing you more height and success.”
Whitemoney won the 2021 Big Brother Nigeria reality TV show.
Whitemoney, in a chat with BBC Igbo, explained how he began his career as a musician.
He said “A friend of mine came to serve in that village. I told her I could barb hair and that I also wrote songs. I wrote a full album and she took it to Lagos. She was to shoot a video for one of the songs and had me come to Lagos
“I decided to stay back in Lagos and sought work in a barbing saloon but got none. I was under pressure to move out from where I was squatting. My shop in Kaduna got burned so there was nothing to go back to.
“I started living under the bridge. We would defecate and dispose of it in plastic bags. We bathed in the public. But I didn’t lose focus. I met a lot of people, including those who did things to me. I went through a lot.
“In 2015, someone help me with money and a vehicle but that was short-lived. I started from scratch, struggling, sold jewelry, hawked fries on the streets, sold cream, barbed hair. I got rejected everywhere I sought work.”
