Nollywood star Laide Bakare has shared the tough challenges she faced while trying to get back on her feet after her second marriage ended in crisis.
Speaking during an appearance on Mr. LilGaGa’s program, the actress revealed that her husband threw her out, leaving her stranded with no immediate place to live.
She said returning to her parents’ home was out of the question because it would look like she had failed, and she also lacked the funds to rent a suitable apartment right away.
The Actress said she eventually secured a three-bedroom flat, but the landlord made it clear the property was intended for office use only.
To keep the space, she complied by setting up an office, even though she secretly lived there.
Actress Bakare explained that the building contained multiple offices, which made it easier to hide the fact that she was sleeping in the space.
In her words; “The landlord said no residence, so I set up an office. But I stayed there at night,”
Despite the hardship, Bakare said the experience pushed her to rebuild her life and career with determination.
