Precious Chikwendu, estranged wife of former aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode is a year older today, and she has been celebrating herself.

In a post on Instagram, the former beauty queen, who has been engrossed in a custody battle for her children with her estranged husband, celebrated her strength, courage and perseverance in hurt and humiliation, knowing that after a casting down, there is a lifting up.

She also thanked herself for keeping her head held high and carrying herself like the queen she is whilst maintaining the look on the hills from whence her help comes from.

She wrote: “Dear snowhite ❄️

I celebrate you!!!

“You are phenomenal, outstanding, awesome and an epitome of strength. Yes you persevered in hurt and humiliation for years and still held your own, knowing that after a casting down there is a lifting up. Thank you for the strength and courage you carry and inspire. Thank you for recognizing the much grace you’ve been given and not taking it for granted. Thank you for keeping your head held high and carrying yourself like the queen you are whilst maintaining the look on the hills from whence your help comes from. This New Year shall see you to your elevation and glory. His countenance is already on you and the new is already revealed. Have a fabulous birthday 🎉🎈🎉🎈🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎈❤️
