Big Brother Naija season 6 winner, White Money in an interview with Young Skales, remembered some of life's struggles. White Money said that a few years ago while living in Kaduna State with his mother, they could not afford necessities of life; foodstuff.  He was forced to do low level jobs to fend for the family. He said: “Back then in Kaduna state, I could remember vividly in my compound in Kujama, we were very very broke. I and my mum could really not afford stuff so what I did basically was, I literally helped the whole compound and the other compound to pack their faeces and use my hand to clear the gutter at the back of the house so that water can flow. So while I collect those stuff with my hands every day at the end of the day I get 200 naira from each of the tenants and I use the money to buy foodstuff for me and my mum.”
