Nancy Isime has proven that some kind gestures are not easily forgotten. The award-winning TV host shared a cute matching outfit with the singer Yemi Alade and revealed some things she believes everyone should know about their friendship. In a long appreciation note, Nancy thanked Yemi for not only providing her with a place to stay but also for showering her with love and kindness when she was in need.
Before we reveal this sweet appreciation message, let’s talk about their amazing matching outfits. Nancy and Yemi twinned in intricately patterned lace green and pink Oleku Buba with blouses, a recommended style for Gen Z who want to experience Yoruba native fashion. They both rocked matching peach upright bow Geles, pink necklaces, earrings with green gemstones, wrist beads, and bangles, adding a touch of elegance for a party look. Enhancing the rich Aunty vibes, each wore stylish sunglasses while beaming with smiles and laughter in their various photoshoots.
Here is the heartwarming appreciation message that Nancy Isime wrote to Yemi Alade:
‘Story Story……. I’ve told this story before and I’m sure Yemi is probably rolling her eyes right now but Yemi, I meant it when I say I’ll tell this story every chance I get. As I was saying…..story, storyyyy. As a lot of you might already know, I started working at 17 and as an usher/model whose parents lived all the way in Ikorodu while most of her jobs were in town, it was difficult to go home most days when we closed too late for me to find a bus or bike to take me home. I’d have to ask any of my co-workers if it was okay to crash at theirs till morning, and when there’s enough people staying back with me at the venue, I’d sleep on chairs joined together or the ground/rugged area till it was bright enough to get a bus home. The ages 17-19 was basically me struggling for a place to sleep when I work too late to go home. Sometimes, I’d brave it back to Ikorodu at 2/3 am in the morning, trekking with my koin koin shoe with my Dad worried calling me every 3 minutes and my brothers in the street trying to meet up with me. Let’s just say I’m destined to live long. Yes, my family were worried especially my Dad but I’m a dangerous gyal and it’s best to let me figure out my life my way….else! The rebellion is quite rebellious I must confess. I’m a full blooded Esan woman, our stubbornness is from above. Now, comes Yemi who I have met through a mutual friend and had become an acquaintance. I asked her over the phone one day if it was okay for me to stay at her off campus accomodation for a bit and she immediately said Yes! Fam, I stayed for weeks and this woman NEVER EVER complained! Infact, the peace was too much, I had to leave when I wasn’t ready to. Shortly, after I could afford my own space in her building as I gained Uni admission and the friendship and kindness continued. Yemi, becoming my kind neighbor. Many years later, I still have the softest spot and will be eternally be grateful to her for being one of the bookmarks of kindness and generosity in my life. Allowing me squat with her wasn’t what stood out, I squatted with other people too, it was the attitude, consideration and the peace! My Padi, @Yemialade, I dey for you for Life!.’
