Thank you Jesus for your faithfulness over my life, 365 days around sun! You alone are worthy father! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME hurray!!!!!!

Girls are liabilities, but life breeders!

"They said a house of only girls is an empty house. My husband looked at our 4 beautiful daughters and saw "liabilities." One Tuesday morning, he packed his bags, took our small savings, and fled to another town to be with a woman who promised him a son.

‎He left me with 3 mouths to feed and a 6 month old baby on my back. No goodbye. No child support. Just the shame of being "the woman who couldn't keep her man." ‎I cried until my chest burned, but when my oldest asked, "Mummy, will we eat today?" the lioness in me woke up. ‎I carried crates of mineral on my head until my neck almost snapped. I sold roasted corn & washed people’s clothes infact & I did anything legal to keep those girls in school.

I wore one faded Ankara for 5 years just to pay school fees while my husband was busy playing 'father' to another woman’s child in a distant city. People mocked me, but I was too busy building Queens to hear them.

Two decades have passed. Today, I am standing at the International Airport. ‎I just watched my 3rd daughter board her flight to the UK on a full scholarship to join her two elder sisters who are already successful over there. And that 6 month old baby he abandoned? She is graduating from Law School as a Barrister next year!

‎As for their father? I heard he is still in that other town, broken and alone. He tried to "reconnect" last week, but I was too busy checking my flight details to go and visit my grandchildren abroad. Yes!‎I did it! I raised 4 Queens by myself, and today, they are my crown of glory.

‎To every single mother: Your kids are not "placeholders." They are world-changers! And if you're a woman with only girls,, trust me, You don't need only a son to be proud; your daughters are already enough to change the world."
