The influencer who is currently riding high granted an exclusive interview to Vision4, a Cameroonian television channel. “Croqueuse de diamant”, as it is about her, lifted the veil on several parts of her history and revealed the worst mistake of her life. It was on March 29th.
As a popular saying goes, “To err is human. Everyone makes mistakes.” Croqueuse de diamant is certainly no exception to this reality.
Manuella Nimpa known as Croqueuse de diamant is a new Cameroonian influencer. Barely a month after she made her first steps on social networks, she is already a big favorite. For some, she is enigmatic and philanthropic for others.
At 22 years old, she has an unconventional background and a very unusual story. It all started for her at the age of 16. Driven by the desire for fame and bling-bling, the young Manuella gave up on her school education.
“What I’m going to tell you now is a part of my life story that made me who I am now. Because I used to think that “looking good” was everything. I wanted to show people a life I wasn’t living. Therefore, instead of going to school, I preferred to skip classes and go to some meetings to show people that I live a good life.
At that time, I was 16. My parents could afford to take care of me.
I was following some female influencers. I thought that to be important, you had to show a certain lifestyle to people.
And that was the worst mistake of my life.Showing that I can go to fancy restaurants so that people can value me and care about me. And it really cost me. Because of that, I saw despair in my father’s eyes. I say this to send a message. I don’t want young people to make the mistakes I made. Wanting to be like the influencer I loved the most cost me my father’s trust. My father disowned me. Because I was his hope. I’m the firstborn in my family.”

This is what “Croqueuse de diamant” considers the worst mistake of her life.
While recounting the facts, she could not keep her composure and burst into tears.
Upon closer inspection, the influencer seems eaten away by remorse. She also seems to want more than anything to get back into her father’s good graces.

This mistake led her to reorient his life choices.
She is now the influencer of influencers and a hope for the desperate. According to herself, the young woman hopes to make her colleagues understand that it is dangerous to sell dreams to their followers. This is the reason why she claims to refrain from doing so.
“I decided to get into the influencers’ world because I want to bring a personal touch. I have found that many sell dreams that are far from reality,” she said.
As a result, she is much more interested in doing charity work than in showing off her wealth.
Finally, “Croqueuse de diamant” does not intend to cover herself with diamonds. Crunching diamonds and giving them to people in need: this is the heavy and perhaps noble mission she has set herself.
