Idols television show. In a chat with Saturday Beats, the
songstress said that ever since the show ended it has not been
a bed of roses for her. The up and coming singer said she
would not forget in a hurry how a jealous lover smashed the
windscreen of the car she won at the reality television show.
"After having a minor accident with the new car I won
from the show, a jealous lover smashed the windscreen so
badly and as a result it was a whole new type of challenge,
trying to get it fixed, bringing the person to book... but I
overcame."
She also said that some friends had been breathing down her
neck saying she doesn't care about them anymore after all the
money they spent voting for her while on the Nigerian Idol
show.
"I tried to act the same, maintain my old phone numbers of
about eight years, tried to keep in touch with all my friends
even though it was honestly difficult to keep up. I kept getting
Watsapp, sms, Facebook and all kinds of messages from some
particular friends with words like 'what are you feeling like?
Is it because you are now a superstar or what?' Some would
even say 'Debie, you have changed, you can't even call me
after all the money I spent voting for you.'
"It really got to me then and I used all my time and resources
to try and make all of them see reasons and all, but then they
just didn't stop, so I decided to do my best and leave the rest.
But I want to use this opportunity to tell them that I didn't
change one bit, but someday, they will understand. That was
one challenge I had also. The important thing is not the
gravity of the challenge but how to come out strong, and I
must say, I am wiser, stronger and better," she added.
