In a heart-wrenching turn of events, Patience Egbor, the CEO of Face of Beauty Nigeria, recently turned to social media, pleading for financial support after receiving an eviction notice from her rented residence. Her turmoil stems from the aftermath of a tumultuous marriage that led to her financial downfall, leaving her and her children in a dire situation.
Initially, Patience portrayed herself as financially secure, supporting her entire household after marrying her spouse in 2018. Founding her beauty firm, the pioneering online pageant brand, in 2017, she boasted of significant success and claims of making millions since its establishment.
However, the situation took a drastic turn when she purchased her first car under her name, provoking envy from her spouse, who, having faced bankruptcy, coerced her to sell the vehicle. Subsequently, they relocated to Lagos with their two children, where her hardships escalated.
Her spouse abandoned her and the children, ostensibly to pursue a new skill. However, he later conveyed via text that their marriage had long ended. Stranded and in financial distress, Patience narrated enduring days without proper meals and resorting to pleading for even modest amounts, such as Two thousand naira from her estranged husband.
The emotional video shared on social media paints a picture of her distress, capturing the tremendous shift from success to an almost homeless situation. The public outpouring of support and condolences flooded in from Nigerians, sympathizing with Patience’s predicament, emphasizing the unforeseen challenges she faced post-marriage.
The video, titled “MARRIAGE PALAVA: I WAS SUCCESSFUL, NOW I AM ALMOST HOMELESS. SO SAD 😭” was shared via a tweet on October 27, 2023, prompting an empathetic response from concerned individuals.
