Booboosha Her rise from Nigeria to her current base in New Zealand has been described as a fairytale story, as she confessed in a chat with Showtime Bonus “ My childhood was not any bed of roses at all, there was no support from anywhere and as early as my 7th year on earth, I recall waking up as early as 5.00am to sell Garri for my mom.
Then by 7.30am I would sell my cosmetics at school and from school in the evening I would go about supplying my mom’s Garri to her customers. This continued throughout my education and during the holidays we would go to the village for cassava planting and rooting.
“But I never forgot my musical calling as every evening I always wrote a song to sing and later sold to both parents and students of our Sunday School. That was how I supported myself, It was really a long journey of life”
