”Dabota Lawson .
University of Leicester.
BA Financial Economics 2:1 .
Today is workers day and I remember when I was 16 and got my first part time job in Leicester . I was in college, In boarding school in the UK . It’s was my official first step to becoming who I am today.

Although back then my ideas and dreams of what I wanted my life to be like was totally different . I really imagined that I would become an investment banker make all the money and rule the world before I’m 40. ????????

In my first year in university I was nominated as the course rep for my department, and in my second year I was the African Caribbean society President. By my 3rd year I had bought my first car . All the while working and schooling.

I mean I was on my way to becoming the first female president .. after school I went on to compete in the Miss Nigeria Uk pageant and won! Woohooo I’m the Queen Of the world. ????????

And then I went back to school, this time to get my Ultimate Certificate as a Chartered Management Accountant . I enrol into the London School Of Business and Finance.

After that I moved back to Nigeria and suddenly EVERYTHING CHANGED ???????? Lord have mercy!!!! I never knew I could make so many wrong choices and mistakes in my life. I never knew how aggressive and angry I could be.

Even serving God was a different ball game. I also have never experienced so much freedom and fun all at once. All in all through it all my parents have been there for me. They had already given everything I needed to go through life.

My parents sacrificed everything for me and many times I had betrayed them with my wrong choices in life.

Today I’m still chasing my dreams and they still stand by me . I’m really living my dreams , working everyday doing what I love so so much .

I’m no longer working for people but steady building my empire. My small accolades in my Bio allows me to celebrate this day as a promising business woman. May God bless my parents . They are the real hard workers and God bless every hard working person out there . Keep chasing your dreams. Dreams come through.

Keep trying . Strive to the finish . Get your degree. No one can take it away from you. Even if all fails , you can start again. You’ve got something that will stand as a signal that you have the ability to learn , to be consistent and committed.

In early 2016, Dabota Lawson filed for divorce from her wealthy husband.

The reasons, as the media reported, were Sunny Aku’s infidelity: the rumors circulated that he had a lot of other women while being together with Dabota, and even was technically married to one of them.

In court, Dabota announced that his other wife’s name was Elizabeth Chioma Aku.
