My first job ever was RMD's PA. March 1st, 2004 to September 30th, 2006. That's like 2 years and 6 weeks. He did not owe me. Even the last month, I wasn't supposed to receive a salary but he paid me. My first salary was 15k but it increased over the years. It was a serious luxury.

2. Juliana Olayode for Funke Akindele

Juliana Olayode came into national consciousness after starring as Toyosi aka Toyo Baby on the hit series, Jenifa's Diary showrun by Funke Akindele-Bello. According to Juliana, she used to do domestic work for Funke before and during her time on the show. Juliana said:

I lived with Aunty Funke while set was on, so I counted it my duty to clean the house. She lived in a duplex at Chevron at that time, so I cleaned the entire house. Sweeping and mopping from room to room. Scrubbing bathroom after bathroom. I arranged wardrobe after wardrobe, laid one bed after another. You would not know any of these if I am not saying this. I did all this with joy. She was special to me and you serve those you love.
