I was very career-focused, so I guess I didn’t get married early. My first marriage didn’t work. But I knew I really wanted children; I love kids.Were you criticised for placing your career or business above family life when you didn’t have a child?
But in-between all of these, I was very busy with work. I had tried so many things from food science to oil and gas, manufacturing and went back into oil and gas consulting.
So, time went by quickly. Everybody knew I wanted children and I was open to medical intervention.
The only thing I was not keen on was adoption because it didn’t appeal to me naturally.
I knew I was going to have children but I just didn’t know when.
I’m a very tough person. So, I’m sure people didn’t want to (criticise me) because they didn’t want my trouble.How many kids do you have now?
People were talking about it. I remember an event about ‘waiting on the Lord for the fruit of the womb’ that I attended.
Someone told me outright that I couldn’t want children because I wasn’t married.
In my mind, I said it is God that gives children and if God chooses to bless me with children, nobody can stop it.
To God be the glory, I had my first child at 50 and I had a set of twins (both girls) last year.Why didn’t your previous marriage work?
So, in two years, I had three children.
I don’t know. Some things work and some things don’t work probably due to personality clashes on both sides.How did you meet your husband with whom you have your children?
Sometimes, it might just be the timing of the circumstances. Everybody wants to be in a marriage that works.
So when people’s marriages don’t work, it’s not good to start pointing a finger at who did what.
Both parties would have wanted the marriage to work but just didn’t have the ability to keep it together.
We are not married and were in a partnership. There was a traditional family ceremony to formalised the relationship. He is the father of all the three children and supports his children.But how did you meet him?
I think somebody had mentioned me to him in passing and he did some homework,What are you grateful for about him?
and somehow, we got introduced by another person. That was how our relationship started.
He is a vehicle through which God blessed me with the three miraculous children. I know it was not by accident that God chose him to be the father of my children.As a busy person, what do you do when you are not working?
I make sure our children are well cared for and he is especially happy about this. These children are our legacy.
I am dedicated to making sure our children are wholesome and God-fearing. He attests to the fact that a lasting legacy through our children makes him happy.
It’s not something I wish to put in the public space.
I do a lot of things. I am a very avid gardener. I am a very good cook when I choose to cook. I used to cycle long distances, but because of the kids, I can’t do that.At 53 and with three kids, do you still get advances from men?
But I run an average of five to 10 kilometres daily. I also mentor a lot of young adults. I find time for a lot of things.
I am very involved in a lot of women organisations and empowerment. I love reading. But officially, I am taking the year off because I want to be with my kids.
I meet more people in the course of my professional life. I’m not very outgoing in the social scene. My family is very engaged, so most of my activities are family-based.
I meet a few people now and again. But right now, I don’t want anything to distract me from my children.
I even work from home. I avoid things that will take me outside my home. Having three kids in two years after turning 50 is my greatest achievement. 📎 The key is : Learn how to BE HAPPY BY YOURSELF FIRST. Because a human being that is happy on his/her own will never settle to be miserable with someone else. When you find happiness on your own then you will be able to spread it and share it with someone else. ... CRITIC ALSO 🖋️ spill TEA ☕ Easy on Shade 💣

It’s like free-falling – this unending, soul snatching, infinite, mind-boggling love.
Deja, my baby girl, I got you. I promise. Now and forever. So help me God. 5.30.2020
Citing an example, the actor shared a personal experience he witnessed during a movie set. According to him, another actor was groping an actress on set, so much that everyone who saw him warned him against such actions.

Time passes by speedily when you’re living your best life with the man of your dreams!

I had no idea the heights that you would take me to, nor the depths and wonders that you would show me in life; all I knew was that you were a very special man – a unique man, a true man of God; and I was being given the privilege and honour of journeying life alongside you. 25 years later, having lived life under your cover, guidance, love, and assurance; if I had to choose again, I would choose you Adeolu.
“I never once thought that the health of my child would be an issue,” Toolz said.
“I heard a voice saying ‘this isn’t going to work out but you’re going to be OK’.”
“That was horrible, the day that I did the scan and there was just like nothing. When we did the last scan, there was nothing, like, no movement, nothing.”
“Oh my gosh, it was horrible, it was absolutely horrible,” she added.
