"I wanted him to have a business"— Veekee James shares how her ex-boyfriend betrayed her after everything she did for him

Fashion designer Veekee James has shared details of a traumatic period in her life, including how she was deceived by a former boyfriend after investing time and money to launch a company for him. 

Veekee revealed in a live interview with Pastor Bolaji Idowu, Senior Pastor of Harvesters International Christian Centre (HICC), that she had gone to considerable measures to help her ex-partner succeed while she was a college student, only to find out he had cheated on her. 

Veekee, who is currently happily married to Femi Atere, recounted how she and her ex-boyfriend's mother travelled from Akwa Ibom to Lagos in order to purchase supplies for her ex-boyfriend's unisex salon.

She spent time and money on him, but she discovered messages on his phone that said he was planning to see an ex-girlfriend.

“Because of love, I entered a night bus to Lagos with his mother to shop for materials, then went back to Akwa Ibom to set up a shop for him. I wanted him to have a business; I put down the capital, and the worst part was that when I checked his phone, he was already planning with his ex-girlfriend to visit him as I was leaving,” she said.

Veekee decided to forgive him despite his apology and dismissal of it as a joke, continuing to support his company and even forgoing a portion of the earnings. 

But she claimed that she decided to put her own value first and end the relationship.
