According to her, her story is a true definition of “grass to grace”. She narrated how she went from hawking pure water at 15, being a salesgirl, and being homeless with her family, to owning two properties in Lagos. The first is in the Ajegunle part of Lagos.

She explained how her friends mocked her for buying a house in Ajegunle. However, she has now purchased a second property in Lekki. This purchase was made on 16th July 2019 to the surprise of those who mocked her. Now, she is the owner of two properties in Lagos, at 23.

 

Blessing Williams wrote:

“I bought my second home in Lagos Nigeria. This year has been so good to me and I am so grateful to God. Every good and perfect 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. I cried, prayed and worked for it [through] many jobs since [I was] 15, from hawking pure water, salesgirl, ogaTaxi driver, a waitress in a Lagos/Dubai restaurant etc. As a child, my mum struggled in her store day and night just to feed my family.

 

“I barely even saw my dad. He had a job as a driver far away 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 mother’s store in the market, where she sells frozen chicken, became our home.

She continued:

“I would sleep on the fridge as my bed and assist my mum. [This was] until I left Ajegunle to Ikoyi and started working as a waitress in Ember Creek, Lagos, [and] I rented a face me I face you room for my family in 2014. I was too happy I didn’t know God just started!!

 

“In February 2019, I bought my mum a home in Ajegunle in a location she chose. I remember telling some people in Dubai were I live in excitement, and they roll their eyes. I can feel the disappointment in their eyes. ‘Common Ajegunle you bought a house, [yet] you’re this happy’ because they didn’t know what it meant to me!!!

 

“Fast forward to July 16th 2019. I bought my second home in Lekki phase 2. I signed, certified and paid for my new four-bedroom duplex. A big thank you to all my friends, family and my husband for their support throughout the search and selection process. [There were] too many beautiful houses to choose from but God directed me to mine!!

 

“Finally, thank you to everyone who has supported my modelling career. God bless you all for your support!! TEAM BW we did this!!”
