In a Twitter thread, she revealed:

"The picture on the right was [taken] in 2015. I was a cleaner. I just wanted to survive because it was just me. I wasn't sure of what I will be or become back then because I wasn't a graduate.

"I didn't have anyone to send me back to school so I turned [into] a cleaner because that was what I could do perfectly. Today, I'm still a cleaner but, this time, I'm a big cleaner.

"Well, I'm not a graduate yet but I'm a student now who will graduate soon. It is only death that can really stop us from making something good out of our lives; just keep the faith and hope alive, you will get there."

With this story, Nwanyi, whose handle is @Thickerbody_08, sparked an inevitable chain reaction as users flocked to the comments section in droves.
