I’m Not A Mannequin Wife- Dabota Lawson

This is coming from the former beauty queen, Dabota Lawson Aku has said she is not ready to tell people how she met her husband but she can only reveal he was persistent.  She also spoke about the misconceptions people have about her and says she is not a mannequin wife after all. Here’s what she told a Lagos based soft sell magazine;

What misconception do people have about you?

A lot of people are carried away by the pictures they see of me online. It is just few minutes of my life all dressed up and edited with filters. That is not what I am about and in reality there are no filters. Especially when it comes to being a wife. No man wants an air head or a 24hours Barbie for a wife. No man who has worked hard and experienced real life and has made his billionaires will acquire a beautiful mannequin for wife. I am educated; I work hard in business and in my home. I clean, I cook, go to the market, take care of my husband and kids.  A lot of ladies send me messages saying they want to be like me. Whilst I appreciate such gestures, I want people to understand it didn’t happen overnight. I started working from the age of 16 in the UK.

A lot of readers are waiting for this question, how did you meet your husband?

Our story is like that of a Disney love story. I really don’t want to say much because ei have a special occasion that I would like to share our story. It is quiet touching. But I will save it for another time. Apologies everyone but don’t worry, all will be revealed soon.

Was it love at first sight?

I really don’t want to go into details, but oh my God, my husband is the most persistent man on earth. The first time we spoke, we talked for hours. It felt like we had known each other for years. We immediately built a strong friendship that turned into true love that is all I can say.
