On getting to Italy after spending two weeks in a Libyan prison, Becky revealed that the only available job presented to her was prostitution.

Unhappy about the ugly job she was asked to do to pay £35,000 as an agent fee, she reported herself to police authorities in Italy which fast-tracked her return to Nigeria.

Why she chose vulcanizing job

She said she was motivated by one of the Nollywood movies she had seen where a female perfectly performed the job of a vulcanizer.

She made up her mind to get the required skill and take it as an occupation. Her boyfriend called it quits along the way because of the job she chose.

Today, she is her own boss.
