She wrote;
People have always referred to me as “mgbeke” (local girl) that I dont know fashion or carry designer bags/shoes/clothes
That I don’t wear expensive hair. Well, my darlings I do know and want to wear those things but I have been saving for this building right here. I can’t remember d last time my family traveled for Xmas because there is no house to stay. My mother falls sick whenever she goes to the August meeting and comes back. My father wanted to sell half of our compound to fix d leaking roof, buy the ceiling and also patch the broken wall but I told him No. ( PAPA I WILL BUILD A HOUSE FOR YOU) after saving for some time, I wanted to use the money to buy myself another car (A bigger car) but I said to myself, what’s d need for d car when we don’t have roof over our head in d village moreover the car I have is still in good condition and serves me well, I can always buy another one later. Today am grateful to Almighty God that it came to pass. My parents are d happiest ppl on earth. 4 masters bedroom, extra 2 toilets, kitchen, dining and parlor. God is the Greatest.
