A 23-year-old Nigerian model, Blessing Williams has reportedly bought her 2nd house in Lagos, despite the challenges of life she faced while growing up. In a post the Dubai-based model posted on her Instagram page, she narrated how she went from hawking pure water at 15, to becoming a waitress in Dubai and living to own 2 properties in Lagos.

She wrote:

BOUGHT My (2nd)second home in Lagos Nigeria this year has been so good to me and I am so Greatful to God “Every good gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights James 1:17
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” Phil 4:6 This request I made known to God since 2012 all Glory goes to God

I cried,Prayed and worked for it since 15 from hawking pure water,sale girl,ogaTaxi driver,waitress in Lagos/Dubai restaurant etc..As a child my Mum struggle in her store day and night just to feed my family,I barely even saw my Dad he had a job as a Driver faraway from our home in Ajegunle so he leaves home before I wake up.

Being raised this way i do say we were fortunate we had a home until we couldn’t pay rent my mothers shop in the market became our home where she sells frozen Chicken!
