Reality TV Star Chioma Ikokwu Says Fire Almost Gulped Her Office Building And Goes Down Memorylane

On Sunday January 8, 2023, Hair Entrepreneur and the real housewives of Lagos star Chioma Ikokwu shared how her company building almost burnt down while she was in Traffic ....

''I contemplated sharing this because in true social media fashion we only document the good, the worthwhile, the excellent. When In fact in reality these times are few are far between, not at all depicting the day to day struggles of our everyday lives and often times than not, curated.

I for one barely showcase my struggles or challenges.

I remember when we were 2 months away from Completing The Good Hair Space as we only had 4 months to build, furnish and make the space functional before the “Detty December” rush 5 years ago.

I had taken on the seemingly straightforward task of being the entire project manager as well as still running our already existing @goodhairltd salon.

One faithful evening I broke down. I remember crying uncontrollably on the floor because not only was I drained mentally, physically and financially (as the project was unexpectedly costing us much more than we could afford at the time) almost everything that could go wrong was going wrong.

I didn’t know how to move forward and for the first time in my life i anticipated potential failure. I had also come to the painful realization that I wasn’t superwoman after-all. I called @kikagoodhair who was in London at the time and I just cried.

She’d never heard me cry like that but she also knew I wasn’t a quitter and so the next day to my surprise Kika was in Lagos.
She continued project managing + running our salon. I rested for 2 days.
On the third day I rejoined her and we worked hard and strong and completed the Good Hair Space in record time.

It’s been a success story since then.

To think that yesterday, but for the divine intervention of God and a few good men it could’ve been burnt to the ground is still giving me chills. Our blood, sweat and tears?Hmm

Thanks to everyone of you who reached out. The show of love has been incredibly overwhelming and I am truly grateful.

As I sat in traffic on my way knowing the fire was still burning I just kept laughing and saying to the devil you messed with the wrong one today.
I declare that 2023 will be a year of unending miracles as set in motion by the events of yesterday.
The way God has shamed our enemy may He do the same for you IJN.
