Nigerian actress, Nkechi Blessing, has recounted how she sold her Range Rover to complete her house.
The actress, taking to her Instagram page on Monday, described the action as the best decision she made in 2021.
She said “The best decision I made in 2021 was selling my Range Rover to complete this beauty behind me. Thank God for the space bus I bought for my mum. Shey landlady for dey trek by now.
“It’s 2022. Try to set your priorities right. A car is never an achievement but a necessity; a means of transporting you from one place to another.
“This is my own opinion and I did not call for a debate. Choose whatever works for you please. Just saying respectfully.”
In 2021, Blessing narrated how she was almost raped at the age of 17 years by the boyfriend of her sister.
Blessing said “I was 16 or 17 and I had this sister I used to tell I was a virgin and she would say I was lying. I used to dance and my mum ran a beer palour. This sister invited me to meet her boyfriend.
“It was as if she wanted to set me up to confirm if I was still a virgin or not. As a young girl who was knowledgeable about such matters, I sat down. Drinks were served. This sister told me she would be back and went out.
“The boyfriend came close, sat beside me. My mind went to the virginity conversation I had with the sister. I was scared to death; stood up and he held me, saying I wouldn’t leave. I protested, asked if he wanted to rape me.
“He knew I was going to scream so he let me be. I guessed that (rape) was going to happen. I thought to myself that rapists should be given the death penalty. There’s no need for court. You hear a person raped, just kill them there.
“I feared what would have happened to me if he eventually did it. I’ve seen victims; read loads of messages from people, even adults who were raped. You can imagine the anger and trauma that they have gone through.
“Consider the 14-year-old girl involved in the Baba Ijesha case. No sane person hears that and wouldn’t speak up.”
