Fuji singer Ajoke Cinderella has spoken about her journey to homelessness after a terrible flood displaced her from her home in Ojokoro, Lagos, a few years ago.
The mother of two, whose earlier performances are now trending on social media, shared her hardships since she parted ways with her last music promoter.
Reflecting on the incident, she noted it happened after she returned from London in 2011 when there was a heavy rain. “There was a heavy rain, and we were already asleep. When we woke up, I discovered that some of my belongings were floating in the water. After that, I spent a lot of money constructing a German floor to divert the flood, but it had no positive effect. That’s when I decided to take my kids and vacate the house,” Cinderella recounted.
Talking about why she left the mainstream music scene, Cinderella said it was due to God’s will. She believes that God has His own way of making things happen.
“People don’t regard me as they used to. They greet me, and I greet them back. It’s the timing of God, so what can I do? I don’t feel bad because if I listen to what people say, I might become suicidal. Anyone who wants to go far must ignore negative comments. I know I’ll get back on my feet and become famous again because I haven’t given up. I still perform at shows and compose music regularly,” she said.
