There is a belief that most University girls are selling their bodies for money but that thinking is annihilated by Paris Diamond’s show of hard work.

Taking to Facebook on Sunday, Mis Diamond shared pictures of herself hawking satchel water and said she prefers to do such jobs rather than sleeping for money with men.

Paris Diamond, a 19-year-old Nigerian Mass Communication student of the Alvan Ikoku Federal College of Education Owerri, sells satchel water every weekend on the street, sells Jollof rice in school, and does petty tradings to make money to fend for herself and she is proud of it.

Read her full statement below:

“I sell pure water to buy textbooks for myself in school and sometimes use it to pay bills
I go to the market every Friday evening, Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon after church, I enjoy doing it since I do get money for one or two textbooks

I prefer doing this than sleeping with men for money Yes I slay but guess what is pure water business. I sell almost 7 or 8 bags a day depending on the lucky day. I’m a mass communication student.

Sometimes my friends will be like “babe this pure water business no fit u o” I smile and tell them I love it. I’m a Nigerian writer too, I have two novels and one drama I have published already but due to money issue I couldn’t make lots of copies.

Sometimes when I come back I will be tired to read but I try my best. I hustle pure water and sometimes sell Jollof rice in school, I make hair, slippers, and clothes with this my small but mighty business..
