Good girl! I like this. Atleast she isn't talking about man, man, man..... I hate the way so called Nigerian rubbish yeye stinking so called celebrities, only talk about man or woman matters. All the men have to say, is "the kind of woman you shouldn't marry" " the kind of women you should avoid" woman this or woman that e.t.c. As for the women theirs is to say" the type of men women should avoid" "the kind of men women should marry" " how to make a man happy" e.t.c.
ReplyDeleteYou don't see them talk about any sensible.thing that has to do with technology development or any genuine form of national or global political- economic development, as most of them are anywhere belle face is mostlywhen they talk politically.
Allah forbids that I have a solid platform and all that I talk of will be man this, man that. Their foreign counterparts talk about productivity, whie the ones here are constantly talking about sex related matters always.
You are correct. She is uplifting her family’s name and helping others, while creating her own lasting legacy. See the big grind on her parents’ faces, they are so proud of her.
DeleteBeautiful 🥰
