The sexy singer became an orphan at 14, had a baby at 16, became a house help...but managed to make something of herself. She explains...
"I had a daughter when I was 16 and since I was an orphan, I was staying with an aunt and after I got pregnant, I went to live on my own. I wasn't kicked out, I left because I couldn't bear the mockery. I was all alone and took care of my pregnancy. I did a lot of things to survive. I was a house help for a period of time. I cleaned, washed, cooked for big people. Then I met someone and he turned my life around."Maheeda is now a singer with a recently released 4th single. Her new video when you continue...

I love this song and sooo happy for her. She is a fighter
And this is why Nigeria will never move forward....Our so called class system and mind set is our biggest enemy ..... .... Why do we keep modern day slaves and call them House girls and house boys .... it is sad that OVER 50% OF NIGERIANS ABUSE THEIR MAIDS in one way or the other!!!!!!
First of all, why should a child as young as 9 be cleaning, cooking and taking care of "madams" kids ... why ??? If u have a child that young in ur house do the right thing and invest in them by sending them to school and treating them like one of yours ..
And if u happen to have some one of age dont look down on or discriminate just because they dont have the same privileges as your self .. .. ...
Maheeda is beautiful and talented :) !!!!
happy for her that she made something of her life.
wow!!..this must be the most positive thing I heard about 9ja women in the last 2-3 weeks..and i agree with the view of little kids being used as househelps..nothing short of child abuse..
Mehn, this chick is tight! I never heard of her till now, but i can tell u that she's a fighter and a star!
Rock on!
Oh jheez, if yall studied history before you start talking yall would know that House helps aren't slaves... Why? cause they get paid n are not held against their wishes or in bondage! some housemaids even apply for the damn job, so please before you start talking bout my country Nigeria will never progress get your shit together. when you keep prophesying bad thing of course its gon manifest. please stop using terms in American history for Nigeria, BE F**king original

How did slavery come in now?
she has a banging well cut tight body..kudos to her..
Never say Never,,,dont give up,,in your time of despair.....she is a fighter...,and her testimony is true......i love her spirit..
Truly inspirational story, and the music is quite good. In a country where all we hear about are the negative stuffs, there are amazing positives like this.
I hope her story inspires others to pursue their dreams.
I watched this girl's video about a week ago on television and somehow there was something about her and her video i found interesting and captivating. i ended up liking her. now dt i've read her story; her likeability just went up! She should keep working hard!
Just never give up on yourself.... Life is actually rosy: the thorns and the smell; it all depends on which you want to hold on to #justnevergiveuponyou
Im a Babe n im in love with her already. God bless her
she needs to start an ngo for maltreated househelps.
Not bad...Youtubed her name and it appears that there is another Naija artist called Maheeda as well. Or maybe I am mistaken. Oh well, I wish her nothing but the best....
My bad...It is the same person just that now she is more toned and lighter in complexion....As u were....lol
Anon 8:38, that's definitely a different way to look at the issue of househelps in Nigeria. I never crisply looked at it that way. Thank you
dammnn!!!i love this song....this babe got energy, talent, n a strong spirit.. sky's d limit.. (oko yanpia *i wonder what baby daddy'll b thinking*)
