She said she had just finished secondary school when she began to notice weakness in the body. 

At first, her mother thought she was just being lazy and would always beat her but after a while, she discovered that it was not her daughter’s fault. 

“I was around 12 years old when it started showing. My mom started noticing that I was walking funny so she was complaining. She thought I was being lazy. She even beat me at some point”, Omawumi recounted. 

Speaking about how she was able to raise money for school fees and other expenses, Omawumi revealed that an NGO took up her case and posted about her on Facebook after advising her to write Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) exams.
