In a heartfelt and distressing story, Nigerians have their sympathy for Patience Egbor, the CEO of Face of Beauty Nigeria, a beauty brand that once thrived but has now left its owner in dire financial straits due to a troubled marriage.

Patience Egbor, who had achieved success with her beauty brand since its inception in 2017, found herself in a precarious situation as she took to social media to share her plight. She revealed that she had been served a quit notice to vacate her rented apartment, a stark contrast to the financial stability she once enjoyed.

NEWSTODAYNG gathered that, the CEO took to her social media page to solicit for help as she has been served quick notice, promising to explain everything when she has settled matters.

In a recent video trending on X,(formerly twitter), Patience described how, after her marriage in 2018, she was financially comfortable and able to support her entire family. She reminisced about the thriving days of her beauty brand, claiming that it was generating millions in revenue.

However, her marriage took a turn for the worse when she bought her first car in her own name, which apparently aroused jealousy in her husband. When financial difficulties hit, her husband pressured her into selling the car, a symbol of her independence.

Their move to Lagos with their two children marked a turning point in their relationship. Her husband left her and the children under the pretense of pursuing a new skill, only to later inform her that their marriage had been over for a long time.

This sudden abandonment left Patience emotionally shattered and financially destitute. She had no one to turn to for help, and the situation became so dire that she recounted going days without food, reduced to begging her estranged husband for even meager sums like 2,000 Naira.

Patience Egbor’s story has resonated netizens, who have offered their support and sympathy during this challenging chapter in her life.

Below are some reactions,

“Please how can we help this woman?
I am not going into debates with y’all about what men or women do. Wickedness, evil and bad behavior is not sex specific.
Is there an account number to send money to?”, @lord-saar said.

According to @auntylamide, “As an hardworking woman making a living for yourself, Never ever marry a lazy,Egocentric man!!!! He will always see you as a competition/Rival.The story always ends the same way.”

“Avoid lazy and self entitled people,” @vendredifridey wrote.

“This is more reason why ladies should avoid any man that is jealous of their progress in the relationship, if you earn more than your man and he’s not genuinely happy for you, my sis run ooooo, God forbid bad thing🙏🏻,” @Ashkaf46 addedd.

“This is far beyond the car issue, it’s pretty obvious the guy is not kind. Even if you fall out with your wife, you should be interested in taking care of your children. He is not only punishing the poor lady, but two innocent kids. That’s quite sad!,” @Soulmedika captioned.


“In all you do, PLEASE MARRY A KIND PARTNER,” @darljerry tweeted.
