Renowned fashion designer Veekee James recently shared the painful experience of being “used and abandoned” by an ex-boyfriend, despite her efforts to support him.
Speaking during a live session with Pastor Bolaji Idowu of Harvesters International Christian Centre (HICC), Veekee reflected on the challenges she faced in her past relationship. While still a university student, she went out of her way to help her then-boyfriend succeed, even traveling from Akwa Ibom to Lagos to purchase supplies to establish a unisex salon for him. Unbeknownst to her, he was unfaithful at the time.
Veekee, now happily married to Femi Atere, recounted how she put immense effort into the relationship, only to be left heartbroken.
“Because of love, I entered a night bus to Lagos with his mother to shop for materials, then went back to Akwa Ibom to set up a shop for him. I wanted him to have a business, I put down the capital, and the worst part was that when I checked his phone, he was already planning with his ex-girlfriend to visit him as I was leaving.
“He lied to me and apologized that they were just playing along and joking. I forgave him and still came to Lagos by bus. I came back and opened the store. I opened the unisex store for him in Uyo and I refused to take certain percentage from the profit,” she narrated partly.
