Popular Nigerian actress and TV presenter, Nancy Isime has recounted her past struggles.

The media personality made this known during an interview on Tea with Taymesan podcast, where she also revealed that her father was proud of her because she not get pregnant out of wedlock.

According to her, one attribute most people don’t know about her is that she is has a shy personality, but her work enables her to keep that part of her hidden.

In her words;

“I started working when I was 17, I have learnt. I am an old soul. I listen to people, I learn from them It doesn’t mean I don’t have my own mistakes. When I speak like this, it comes from a place of wisdom, it does not come from a place of perfection.

don’t go to where I don’t need to be, I am literally just at work. I am very anxious person so being in social gatherings doesn’t do well for my mental health. When I am working it’s different because it’s something I love doing.

I am a shy person people don’t know. My job has taught me to put the shyness by the side. When you see me publicly, I walk with my head down, so I pass through a lot of people. I did my father proud by not showing back home pregnant.

I have said it a lot of times, I am not from a rich home. I had to tell my dad to chill, that I will pay my way out of school.”

Speaking on how she kept herself from critics and controversies, Nancy said;

“I don’t find trouble attractive. I don’t find drama attractive. I am true to myself. I am someone who is just focused on work, focused on her goals and things she has to do, rather than being focused on causing pain for others”.
