She recounted the struggles her family faced while living in that uncompleted house.

“No flooring, no ceilings, no doors, no windows, no running water – just our beloved well which provided us water to do everything, including drink,” Nancy shared.

Determined to rewrite her family’s story, Nancy made a personal vow. “I remember sitting there and one day I said… I’m going to own a good home! But before I buy even a tiny piece of land, I’m going to help Daddy achieve his lifelong dream of owning a fully completed furnished house.”

Nancy Isime revealed that her journey began at the age of 17, when she took her first job as an event usher.

“After every earning, I’d set aside some money towards ‘Vision Daddy’s house.’ This continued throughout all of my career transitions,” she said.

Her hard work paid off, and on December 18, 2022, Nancy finally handed over the keys to her father’s fully completed and furnished home.

“Quietly, while everyone was celebrating this new feat, in passing, I said, ‘God, I don do wetin you say make I do oh, abeg help me run my own, but no rush, at your own time.’”

In what she described as divine timing, exactly a year later on December 15, 2023, Nancy received the keys and papers to her dream home.

“I received the keys and papers to my dream home after making my first initial payment just a few days prior,” she disclosed.

For Nancy, the achievement was more than she expected, especially given her earlier doubts. “Months prior to this day, I didn’t even think that was going to ever be a possibility in my life, na husband house I be dey use style eye,” she added with humor.

Grateful for her journey and God’s grace, Nancy reflected on the alignment of her blessings.

“God is good! Because I am obedient to God’s word, Deuteronomy 28:1-13 has manifested so greatly in my life!”

She credited her success to God’s guidance and favor.

“God has not only blessed me with the grace, wisdom, direction, favour, and peace required to live a successful life, He has also opened doors man cannot shut, aligned me with the right opportunities, and caused me to find uncommon favour.”

Nancy concluded with heartfelt gratitude, emphasizing the importance of faith and hard work. “Which of the Lord’s blessings can I deny? None!”
