Super Falcons forward, Uchenna Kanu, has revealed that she used to hawk sachet water (known as “pure water” in local parlance), and oranges on the streets of Aba, Abia State.
Speaking in a video shared via her Tiktok page recently, the Racing Louisville striker said she hawked alongside her brother who sold soda drinks.
The 26-year-old said they had fun while hawking.
She said, “I used to sell oranges when I was younger. I would peel the oranges and put them in a pan, put it on top of my head and walk around the streets of Aba, hawking them.
“And also, I hawked water. For Nigerians who would watch this video, I sold pure water and ice water. Also, I would go with my brother; he would hawk soda that’s Coca-Cola, Fanta, and Pepsi. Sometimes, we will be hawking in the market and we will just see each other and then we will say, ‘Hey!’ We would laugh and then separate again.”
Kanu gained prominence after representing Nigeria at the 2014 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup and the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.
She made her senior debut with the Super Falcons in 2019.
