‘AUCTIONEERS SHOWED UP AT MY DOOR’ DR. OFWENEKE ON SELLING SAMOSAS TO SURVIVE

Renowned comedian and TV personality Dr. Ofweneke has shared the harsh financial realities he faced during the Covid-19 pandemic, revealing how he resorted to selling samosas to make ends meet.

In a candid revelation on his podcast, Dr. Ofweneke recounted the incident, “During Covid, I sold samosas. I had a newborn baby born just a month after Covid was declared. I married a girl from a wealthy family, and the pressure was immense.”

Dr. Ofweneke disclosed that his in-laws were not supportive, “They had already told her, ‘Artistes are done.’ I had never seen an auctioneer at my door until Covid hit. I used all my savings until it ended.” The pandemic had a devastating impact on entertainers and creatives, many of whom lost their livelihoods overnight.
