Amanda Williams was a beautiful 28-year-old woman living in a luxurious apartment in Yola. She had long black hair, bright eyes, dark skin and a smile that could easily attract anyone's attention.She was a famous actress and social media personality, with millions of followers across different platforms.
Her life was what many young people dreamed of. Expensive cars, designer clothes, beautiful vacations and invitations to important events. Everywhere she went, people wanted pictures with her. Even when she went shopping, she could hardly enjoy herself without someone recognising her.
Yesterday she was the most famous person on Earth. Today, nobody knew her nameIt was strange very strange. Just 24 hours ago, people were shouting her name in the streets. Her pictures were everywhere, television stations were talking about her, and millions of people followed her on social media. She was the woman everybody wanted to meet.
But that morning, something was different When Amanda woke up, she picked up her phone and checked her social media accounts. Everything was gone. Her millions of followers had disappeared. Even her pictures were no longer there.
At first, she thought someone had hacked her account. She quickly called her manager, but the voice on the other end confused her. "Sorry, who are you?" the man asked and Amanda laughed nervously. She thought he was playing a joke.
She went outside her street in bekaji, hoping someone would recognise her. But nobody even looked at her twice. She visited a shop where people usually begged to take pictures with her in 80 unit. The shop attendant treated her like a complete stranger.
That was when fear entered her heart and She returned home and started crying. Was this really happening? How could millions of people forget someone overnight
While searching through her old belongings, she found a small notebook her mother had given her years ago. Inside it was a message:
"Never allow the world to tell you who you are. Fame can disappear, but the person you are will always remain."
Amanda read those words several times and For the first time in years she realised something. She had spent so much time trying to make the world love her that she had forgotten how to love herself.
She put down her phone, opened the door and went outside. Nobody knew her name, but perhaps that was the beginning of finding herself again.
And maybe, for the first time, she could finally live without needing the whole world to watch.
