Gospel singer Victor Thompson, renowned for his hit single “This Year,” has bravely shared his remarkable transformation story.
In a heart-to-heart conversation with Chude Jideonwo, Victor Thompson opened up about his experiences selling marijuana and alcohol to s3x workers as a means of survival after losing both parents at the tender age of 12.
The gospel singer recounted his daily struggles, juggling multiple jobs to make ends meet.
According to him, he sold sachet water on the streets by day, and at night, he operated a small shop near a brothel, selling alcohol, marijuana, and cigarettes to s3x workers.
In his words:
“At a time, I was selling alcohol, weed, cigarettes, and hawking pure water. In the morning and afternoon time, I did vulcanizing, shoe-making and hawked pure water but at night go back to my shop which was close to a brothel to sell alcohol, weed, and cigarettes. Most of my customers were the prostitutes.
“I lost my parents when I was between 12 and 14. My dad passed first, I think I was 10 or thereabout. When my dad died, my aunties threw us out of our dad’s house. We didn’t have a place to sleep. God so good, a carpenter was so kind and gave us an empty land to sleep. It’s a bush so at night, I would sneak my mum in, so that was how we lived for years. But she couldn’t cope then she passed.”
