“Because of my success in business, many men were intimidated. Before marriage, I have dated men that were intimidated by my success.

Any small thing they will say is because of what I think I have, and this is what happens to most successful women.

The way I started fashion, I never imagined I would be a fashion designer because my mom was a tailor and each time she's working, we usually go by to help, not until I discovered it was more of a talent.
I have always thought I would go to school, become educated, and become a career woman. Today, I'm an owner of a very big fashion brand.

I never regret dropping out from school to pursue my dream. If I didn't, I'm not sure I would have been where I am today. If you have the opportunity to study, do it. The best decision for me might not be the best decision for you.

If you're a successful woman, there's a way people will always be looking at you. If you don't get married early, they will say it's because you have too much influence or too much money, so men can't come after you. But don't limit yourself. Any man that can't be with you is not man enough.”

A PASTOR'S BETRAYAL
PART 5
The courtroom was cold.
Grace sat stiffly on the wooden bench, her fingers clutching the edge of the seat as the judge’s voice echoed through the sterile room.
"Divorce granted."
Two words. That was all it took to end eighteen years of marriage.
Beside her, Michael sat with his head bowed, his broad shoulders slumped in defeat. Their three children—Sarah, Daniel, and little Joy—were huddled close to him, their faces streaked with silent tears. None of them looked at her.
Grace’s heart pounded so hard she thought it might crack her ribs.
Outside the courthouse, Michael approached her, his eyes red-rimmed.
"Grace," he whispered, his voice rough with emotion. "It’s not too late. We can stop this."
She turned away, but he caught her wrist gently.
"Please," he begged. "For the kids. For us."
For a fleeting moment, Grace hesitated. She remembered the way he used to smile at her in the mornings, the way he’d pull her close during cold nights.
But then Pastor Gideon’s voice slithered into her mind:
"He’s trying to trap you again. Don’t fall for it."
She yanked her hand away.
"It’s over, Michael."
His face crumbled.
Despite everything, Michael didn’t fight her.
Out of love—or maybe guilt—he gave her everything:
- 50 million naira
- A fully furnished house in a quiet estate
- A brand-new car
Their lawyer read out the terms, his voice monotone. Grace should have felt victorious. But all she felt was empty.
When it came to the children, the judge asked them one by one:
"Who do you want to live with?"
Sarah, her eldest, didn’t hesitate. "Daddy."
Daniel, her sensitive middle child, wiped his nose and nodded. "Daddy too."
Little Joy, only six years old, clutched her father’s leg and whispered, "I want Daddy."
Grace’s breath left her lungs in a rush, as if she’d been punched.
They didn’t choose me.
Her new house was beautiful.
Spacious. Quiet. Empty.
Grace wandered through the rooms like a ghost, her footsteps echoing off the polished floors. She slept in the middle of the king-sized bed, drowning in the silence.
At night, she cried until her throat was raw, until her pillow was soaked.
She missed Sarah’s laughter. She missed Daniel’s bedtime stories. She missed Joy’s tiny arms around her neck.
Most of all, she missed him.
But it was too late.
Pastor Gideon visited often, his smile wide and reassuring.
"You’ve done the right thing, Sister Grace," he said, patting her hand. "God is testing your faith. Stay strong."
He brought her scriptures about "new beginnings" and "breaking chains." He told her the children would understand one day.
But when he left, the loneliness swallowed her whole.
One evening, as she scrolled through old photos on her phone, Michael called.
Her finger hovered over the answer button.
Pastor Gideon’s warning rang in her ears:
"If you go back, you’ll regret it. He’ll never change."
She let the call go to voicemail.
That night, Grace dreamed of her old life.
She was in the kitchen, cooking while Michael hugged her from behind, his lips brushing her neck. The children were laughing in the living room.
When she woke up, the house was dark.
And she was alone.
The weight of her mistake crashed down on her.
What have I done?
Days bled into weeks.
Grace stopped wearing makeup. Stopped cooking. Stopped caring.
The money, the house, the car—none of it mattered.
One afternoon, she found Sarah’s hair ribbon tucked in her purse. She pressed it to her face, inhaling the faint scent of her daughter’s shampoo, and broke down.
She wanted to call Michael. To beg for forgiveness.
But pride—and the pastor’s voice—held her back.
Pastor Gideon called her to his office.
"Sister Grace," he said, his voice dripping with false concern. "I’ve been praying for you. God has shown me your next steps."
He slid a document across the table.
"Donation to the church’s new building project."
The amount: 30 million naira.
Grace stared at it, her stomach churning.
For the first time, she wondered—
Was this his plan all along?
TO BE CONTINUED...

Vanity and Waste Tinubu’s N39bn ICC Renovation and the Shame of Extravagance

At a time when Nigerians are groaning under the weight of inflation, food insecurity, joblessness, and decaying infrastructure, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s decision to spend ₦39 billion renovating the International Conference Centre (ICC), Abuja, and then renaming it after himself is a stunning act of self-indulgence and tone-deaf leadership.

The ICC was originally constructed in 1991 by Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida at a cost of just ₦240 million. Adjusted for over three decades of inflation, the cost of building a brand new, state-of-the-art conference centre today would be between ₦25 billion and ₦30 billion. That the government spent ₦39 billion merely to renovate the old one without major expansion or technological overhaul exposes just how bloated and questionable the expenditure truly is.

More insultingly, Babangida never named the centre after himself, even though he initiated and completed it. Tinubu, however, after refurbishing it, decided to stamp his name on it converting a national landmark into a personal monument. It reeks of egotism and disrespect for public trust.

The ICC project is only one in a disturbing pattern of vanity-driven and excessive spending under this administration.

The Lagos to Calabar Coastal Highway, an ambitious 700-kilometre project, is has been awarded at staggering costs of ₦15 trillion, with only about 30 kilometres completed so far. It has displaced communities, triggered public outrage, and remains a drain on already overstretched national resources.

Adding to the spree, the presidency recently acquired a new Airbus A330 aircraft for $100 million, despite an already oversized presidential fleet. At a time when the naira is battered and millions cannot afford transport fare, the government is buying luxury jets.

Other wasteful allocations include:
   •   ₦5 billion to renovate Dodan Barracks, the President’s Lagos residence
   •   ₦4 billion for the Vice President’s Ikoyi residence
   •   ₦21 billion to complete the new official residence of the Vice President
   •   ₦5 billion for a presidential yacht, smuggled into the 2023 supplementary budget

To the government’s credit, the minimum wage issue has been resolved, and workers are receiving their new pay. But this gain is overshadowed by a mountain of unpaid pensions, leaving retirees in penury, and the unfulfilled agreement with ASUU, which remains a bull in a china shop threatening to plunge the university system into fresh chaos.

The administration claims to be building a legacy. But legacy is not about plastering one’s name on public buildings or cruising on billion-naira yachts. True legacy lies in reviving industries tackling insecurity and building new legacies anchored on inclusion, accountability, and shared prosperity.

At a time like this, every naira must count. Nigeria cannot afford to spend like a wealthy nation while borrowing to survive.

This is not responsible leadership.
It is reckless indulgence.
And Nigeria deserves better.
