2023 transformed everything for me. I left my apartment in Lagos and moved to Ibadan to live in a single room self-contained with my babe. Sold my car and properties, did fish farming job, borrowed money from family and loved ones, etc... & God really showed up for us when needed. I’m so grateful although I can’t write all the stories at once, but looking back through the year is actually worth it.
