“My classmates mocked & called me handicapped' Star The Winner is contestant gets emotional

Having a disability is never an excuse for mediocrity. 19-year-old Victoria Ibeabuchi proved this fact many times over, as she took over the stage in a heated duel on Star The Winner Is game show over the weekend.

An undeniable dazzling beauty, Victoria, who had an accident as a child leaving her right hand affected did not let this deter her as she took the stage by storm while delivering a flawless rendition of Asa’s Jailer for a shot at getting closer to the life-changing grand prize of 10million Naira and a brand new car. Continue...


While reliving her experience in primary school, visibly upset Victoria said “Growing up has not been easy for me, I remember been called handicapped, one-handed and that depressed me terribly”.

Victoria who planned to open a home for physically challenged people if she won 10million naira, gave her duel opponent Brigid Oye a good run but lost the round with a slim margin of 49-52 votes from the 101-jury members and got eliminated from the competition.

Lesson learnt, talent overrides disabilities anytime

  1. PLEASE CAREFULLY LISTEN:
    Sickness is a terror! Enough of its oppression and captivity. Four libers here(you always fall sick some days to your exams)Most times you write your exams in the hospital, satan is a liar. There's one person among the four of you, its someone so close to you that is experiencing this not you..well I don't know if it is your sibling or friend. Please you all need to go to God in serious prayers before you are advised to withdraw from school. PRay against GENERATIONAL CURSE(Fast and pray for 3days) with this Psalm 138:7,Rom9:2,Gal 3:13 It is well in Jesus name.

    1. Mr. man why don't you go and look for a church to preach? Looking for some people to dupe in the name of God. Very soon you will be dropping your email for people to contact you. Then you will be preaching about tithes. Nonsense

    2. B4 nko, but its not bad to preach about tithe now. Is it? Hehe

  13. Hello Linda Ikeji,there is a big mistake in this post....Victoria never faced Brigid....Brigid faced the guy and she lost to him....then the final round was between Victoria and the guy and Victoria won it by 99 votes against 2....making her a step closer to the 10million...I watched it on channel 154 yesterday !
