“The hustle is so much that I cannot remember some of the things I did. I did many things. I sold puff puff at Yaba, with a Ghanaian friend.

“What he does is that: he fries it, and then he’ll use my face to sell it to the UNILAG (University of Lagos) girls. They’ll come and buy puff puff. Very sweet puff puff.”

Arin asked, “Oh my God, did you guys have a stationary?”

“Yes, we had a stand at a junction in Yaba,” Whitemoney said.

Hearing the story, Arin said she found Whitemoney very inspiring.

Whitemoney has become one of the most popular housemates from the ongoing Big Brother Naija Shine Ya Eyes edition specifically because of his personality.
