Advice Powerful Older Women Gave Me at Recent Event - Nancy Isime

Nigerian host and media personality, Nancy Isime, had a wonderful week last week and got to not only meet, but get personal advice from a woman she has looked up to for many years, Hon. Abike Dabiri.

During the recently held Headies Pre Award reception, Hon. Abike Dabiri personally wanted to make audience with Nancy Isime, and now, Nancy Isime is revealing what exactly Hon. Dabiri said to her, and why it has stuck to her head. Here is what Nancy Isime had to say about her encounter with the honorable, as well as her encounter with Chief Nike Davies-Okundaye.

Taking to Instagram to open up about why she was pulled aside by Hon. Dabiri and what the 60 year old politician said to her, Nancy Isime said:

NANCY ISIME: Let’s throw it back to my Hosting The Headies Pre Award Reception at the US Consulate last week, shall we?🥰 The highlight of my evening had to be Hon. Abike Dabiri asking to come see me backstage.

As soon as she saw me, she said We’re watching you and so proud of you and some other really sweet words, but what stuck to my head like glue was when she said “Don’t be distracted, the world can be harsh on strong women but stay focused”

I remember being a young girl living in Ikorodu, hearing about Honorable Abike being elected into the House of Representatives to represent Ikorodu constituency in 2003 and how much of a big deal it was then and how inspired I was by her.

Fast forward to 20years later, hearing her tell me she loves my work and is proud with a lot of encouraging words completely warmed my heart!🥹🥰

Hon. Abike Dabiri is not the only woman that Nancy Isime got to have a moment with that night, she also had a moment with Chief Nike Davies-Okundaye. Speaking about their interaction, Nancy said:

NANCY ISIME: Mummy Nike is also one woman Ive completely admired since childhood, every time she sees me she says “I’m Proud of Youuuuuu, come and take Adire from the Gallery”😄

Love Her!❤️
