According to her, they changed their minds about having a house on the Island due to road and traffic concerns.
When it came to building the house, she said her husband feared how she would cope with handling it all alone. In her words:
"He was not in Nigeria. He was actually scared of how I would cope because I was the only one aware we were building something, aside Blessing and myself."
Eventually, she did not disappoint herself or her husband and did everything herself.
"I went to the market myself. I did everything..." she bragged.

Engineer laments poor regulation of construction industry
In a chat with Legit.ng, the Managing Director of Demenz Consult Ltd, Engineer Ezereonwu Donatus, commended the woman's feat but however maintained that her husband should have used professionals for it. In his words:
"While I appreciate the woman for being exceptional, I always advise people against using their relations to build, while some of them will deliver, a good number of them will not.
"Dear intending developer always use professional, sign all the necessary documents then let your relatives follow up with the speed of the projects.
"A lot of family relations will eat your money and you can't do anything. But a professional who signs documents will not allow his built up business image to tarnish."
Engr Donatus decried the poor regulation of the Nigerian construction industry.
"The truth is that the building Construction industry in Nigeria is one of the unregulated or poorly regulated industries anybody can answer engineer or builder even without certification and many of them practice unchecked that's why we see all manner of practitioners inflating prices, building below standards."
Unlike the lady, another man entrusted his wife to build them a house but returned to find a mud house instead.
