Nollywood actress Nancy Isime has shared an inspiring story of how she fulfilled two of her biggest dreams: building her father’s dream home and purchasing a mansion for herself at the age of 33.
Taking to her social media, the actress reflected on her humble beginnings and the unwavering determination that brought her this far.
“I remember so clearly, I was about 13, sitting in what was going to be our new home – an uncompleted building, the only windows and doors were those protecting the rooms we would sleep in. Everywhere else was pure carcass!” she wrote.
Nancy painted a vivid picture of the challenges her family faced while growing up, highlighting how they managed to survive in a home with no flooring, ceilings, doors, or running water. “No flooring, no ceilings, no doors, no windows, no running water – just our beloved well which provided us water to do everything, including drink,” she recounted.
Despite the circumstances, Nancy’s resolve to change her family’s story was strong. “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.”
She revealed how her journey began at the age of 17 when she started working as an event usher. Even as she transitioned through different phases of her career, Nancy remained focused on the goal of building her father’s home.
“After every earning, I’d set aside some money towards ‘Vision Daddy’s house.’ This continued throughout all of my career transitions,” she revealed.
According to her, the dream became a reality on December 18, 2022, when Nancy handed her father the keys to his fully completed and furnished dream home.
