Her post: “Broken engagement is better than a broken marriage. Paris 2011 he popped the question, I saw the ring, my mum’s face, my friends and family who flew in cheering for joy. The money that was spent, the effort from family and friends.
“No one would know the heated argument we had few hours before this pic was taken. Fast forward few months, during the entire preparation for our traditional wedding we weren’t speaking, but they will tell you its normal, it happens. It’s not true!
“It takes immense courage to walk away from something you’ve been building for years. I was young, won’t say much. @nickiminaj tweets a few weeks back hit close to home. No regrets! No hate! I strongly believe he gave his best, and with that knowledge, it’s up to you to determine whether their best is good enough for you.
“Gratitude #throwbackthursday my soul craves for a little bit more from life? I gave the ring back, the cars, the house, our investments. All! And with my little savings, I was hiding in my friend’s account, I moved to Lagos 2012 started from scratch, with no friends or family members I really knew. What a journey!
