Kim Oprah: From Selling Recharge Cards To Big Brother Naija Fame

During an engaging interview on the ‘Tea With Tay’ podcast hosted by Taymesan, former Big Brother Naija star, Chinonso Ibinabo Opara, popularly known as Kim Oprah, shared some inspiring insights into her past.

Reflecting on her undergraduate days at the University of Port Harcourt, Kim Oprah disclosed that she and her sister took entrepreneurial initiatives by selling recharge cards, pure water, and eggs. They essentially became the local kiosk, catering to the needs of the community.

Kim Oprah, who attended private primary and secondary schools, revealed her desire for a private university education. However, her mother emphasized the importance of “complete education,” ensuring that her siblings experienced both public and private schooling. Despite the difference in educational paths, Kim Oprah emphasized her close relationship with her mother, describing herself as her “mum’s handbag” and highlighting their daily communication.

In an interesting revelation, Kim Oprah admitted that, despite her mother being a devoted fan of the Big Brother show, participating in it wasn’t initially on her radar. It took her manager’s suggestion during her time in Lagos to consider joining the reality TV phenomenon. This unexpected turn of events ultimately led her to the Big Brother Naija platform, where she became a notable participant.

Kim Oprah’s journey from selling everyday essentials during her university days to becoming a prominent figure on national television serves as an inspiring testament to her resilience and adaptability.

Life’s beauty lies in the ability to share the journey, to narrate the struggles of the past once success has been achieved. For those weathering their own storms, remembering the roots becomes a guiding principle. The most profound beauty emerges when those who have triumphed over adversity lend a hand to others. Life’s intricate dance gains depth when stories of hardship are not only told but also become a source of support for fellow travelers on this remarkable journey.
