Living in poverty
In a recent interview, Juala Superboy disclosed that his mother usually washes clothes for people in order to provide for their family, while his father is a casual construction worker.

My dad works as a casual construction worker. His job is temporal. It may be there today but miss for about two weeks. To be sincere, my home is not that good. We just get little to eat and have also gone without meals. I am in pain. We are almost being hounded out of this house as a result of unpaid dues. To make it worse, even our school fees is yet to be paid," said Superboy during the interview.
