Neo Akpofure, a former Big Brother Naija star, recently opened up about his past as a cab driver in Calabar before he shot to fame. In a reflective post on social media, Neo recounted an experience from five years ago when he was working as a Bolt driver.
During one of his rides, he picked up the Nigerian musician MC Galaxy, who had a craving for bush meat and palm wine. This encounter turned into a memorable evening, as they shared the meal before Neo dropped him off at the airport.
Neo’s story resonated with many of his followers, but it also sparked some criticism. Some questioned the authenticity of his narrative, particularly given his family’s financial background. Neo, however, was quick to respond, emphasizing that his story was about perseverance and chasing dreams, not about wealth or poverty.
Neo’s journey from driving cabs to becoming a reality TV star, actor, model, and social media influencer is a testament to his determination and hard work. Despite the doubts and criticisms, Neo remains proud of how far he has come, using his story to inspire others to keep pushing towards their goals, regardless of their circumstances.
