"I stood by this man, yes. But more importantly, I found someone who looked me in the eye and said, ‘Peggy, relax, I go dey spoil you steady.’ And guess what? Frederick didn’t just say it—
the man has been delivering premium spoiling since Day 1 even when he got nothing.I saw drive in him. Not the ‘I have money now’ kind—but the ‘watch me make it’ type. And let me tell you, he wasn’t chasing every skirt in Lagos, either. That was a major green flag. That’s why I stayed.
To all the young ladies: If your man is broke but focused, has sense, and isn’t auditioning for “Bachelor of the Year” every Saturday night—my sister, don’t run. Sometimes, the Benz isn’t parked yet, but the vision is loud and clear.
Ladies, don’t ignore a man with vision just because his wallet is coughing. Encourage him. Feed him sometimes (if you can afford Indomie and egg, you're already winning), and most importantly, believe in the man he’s becoming. I did—and now? I’m the CEO of Soft Life Unlimited.”
There were days I asked Frederick, ‘Oga, will you ever marry me? Abi I’m just here warming bench?’ We’d laugh about it. But now? Look at our lives. Wedding ring dey. Soft life activated. Spoiling on schedule.
So please, before you leave your broke boyfriend for another guy with fake Gucci and too much cologne, or before you friend-zone that broke guy with sense, think am well. Today’s ‘I never get’ can become tomorrow’s ‘Baby, choose any car you want."- Peggy ovire
Moral lesson- stay with your broke boyfriend just like Regina and Somadina
