Billionaire wife, Dabota Lawson Aku speaks on ladies wanting to be like her, her marriage and more

A lot of people are carried away by the pictures of me they see online. It’s just few minutes of my life all dressed up and edited with filters. Especially when it comes to being a wife, no man wants an airhead or 24 hours Barbie for a wife. No man who has worked and experienced real life and has made his billions will acquire a beautiful mannequin for a wife. I am educated. I work hard in business and in my home I clean, cook, go to the market, take care of my husband and kids.

A lot of ladies send me messages saying they want to be like me. Whilst I appreciate such gesture, I want people to understand it didn’t happen over night. I started working from the age of 16 in the UK. even though my dad was the MD of NAFCON. He spoilt us silly. I have always been grounded with the fear of God I finished school with a 2.1 in Financial Economics from the University of Leicester before going to London School of Business and Finance to further my studies. In all of this I was still working and managed to set up my business. When it comes to my look, people should just get used to the fact that because I am part of the Entertainment “industry, changing my look is inevitable for various jobs especially in Nollywood. I am dedicated like that and instead of trying to pick on me, I expect that they should the extra effort I am putting in” she said

On how she met her billionaire husband, Dabota said she would liken it to a Disney love story
Our story is like that of “a Disney love story. I really don’t want to say much because I have a special occasion that I’d share our story. It’s quite touching but I will save it for another day. Apologies everyone but don’t worry, all will be revealed soon” she said

Asked if it was love at first sight, she said
I really don’t want to go into details but oh my God, my husband is the most persistent man on earth. The first time we spoke, we talked for hours. It felt like we had known each other for years. We immediately built a strong friendship that turned into true love. That’s all I can say, she said

Asked what marriage has taught her, Dabota said
I have become closer to God since I got married. My husband teaches me a lot and has helped me improve my prayer life, she said
