According to Akua, her father divorced her stepmother and abandoned her too. As a result, she decided to leave her (stepmom&#8217;s) house in search of her biological mom.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In an interview on Ghetto Life Story, Nana Akua revealed that a friend advised her to take up a job in Kokomba (one of the largest ghettos), which led to a life of freedom, forgetting that she came with a purpose.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI only told a friend about it once, but I never heard anything about it again. I forgot about it and enjoyed life. I&#8217;ve been here for five years, and I have seen a lot and done a lot. You will pick up some lifestyles, and it has shaped my mindset about life.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I smoke weed and cigarettes, but I don\u2019t drink alcohol. I\u2019m not into prostitution, and I\u2019ve never done that. I sell drinks. I\u2019ve been doing that for a while,\u201d Nana Akua said on SVTV Africa.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In response to what the advantages are of smoking, Nana Akua mentioned that it makes her think well and makes her let go of her troubles.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m able to eat and think well. If you want to smoke, do it for a purpose like I do. I easily let go when I smoke, and I become calm. If I were high right now, I wouldn\u2019t even talk to you,\u201d Akua told DJ Nyaami.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on her ambitions, the mother of three disclosed that she wishes \u201cfor a place to stay. So I can have all my children around me. Even if the father is not around, I can work and cater to them. It\u2019s nice to have a father around, but nothing changes if he\u2019s not. I want to be able to raise my kids in a way that I never had.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kindly watch the full interview below;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"I Smok\u1ebd For A Purpose, I Have No Family To Return To, My Father Maltreated Me - Young Lady Reveals\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/95IqMQ_aGJ4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: SVTVAfrica.com (via  Opera<br \/>\nNews )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
