Rest in peace Lizzie :The Untold story of NIBS Founder Lizzie Wanyoike | Lynn Ngugi Network
When Lizzie Wanyoike left her marriage, the only thing she carried with her was her handbag, car, and Ksh.6 Million in savings.
Today, if anyone was to describe her, they would say, "The CEO of NIBS College, owner of the half-billion Emory Hotel in Kileleshwa, and the advanced Lizzie Wanyoike Preparatory..."
But, Lizzie knows there is so much more to life than money, titles, and properties.
In this episode of inspire global, she takes us through her life growing up in a village to becoming one of Kenya's businesswomen

Having been married and later parted ways I agree with her that to be single can be lonely but you would rather be single than to live in a toxic marriage

Sometimes you've got to understand these elderly women come from a different generation. They still haven't changed their perspective about life because of what was ingrained in them growing up. Definitely as a gen Z I disagree but respect her opinion. She's a formidable woman in our society!

She is a humble giant. She moves in silence. She believed in her personal convictions, she believed in herself, she believed in her visions, she saw her visions before they were real and above all she believed in God and all came to fruition. She is quite an inspiring human being.
I was a hospitality student at NIBS. And now I'm watching Lizzie when I really needed to. Starting my company soon, and she's my number 1 advisor.

Such an inspiration mama ....Ooh and some of us are GENUINELY happy being single with no desire of having that companionship peace of mind is what matters
Liz is such an educator.Her parenting tips are helpful always.God bless you Lynn&Liz.
Marriage is a beautiful thing if you have the right partner, it should be enjoyed not endured. It should be a partnership not a prayer item. You can also be married and lonely which is worse. That said I have nothing but respect for this woman

Being close to 50 years myself, I can say that above 40 years, its hard for a woman to find genuine and healthy male companionship. It can be lonely sometimes but it's better to keep busy with work, our kids and hobbies and other interests than sumbuka with bad relationships. Just build yourself. Our good Lord Jesus never leaves us alone.

Catherine, women above the age of 40 years, have jobs, mostly probably single mothers and who are still open to love and marriage end up meeting mature, grounded companions.( age 40 may sound old for women, but its the best age to get married and settle down). You both enter into a marriage older, wiser and knowing exactly what you both want from that marriage.

When she says: I don’t think I’d remember how to be a wife! That made me so sad! There isn’t one way to be a wife. I hate that being a wife is often confused with being a cook, cleaner, or whatever else! I completely get her hesitation to be married again! She gave 26 years to a man who did not hesitate to dispose her off and left her without anything!!
Aunt Liz is such a great role model!Keep it up!I have been inspired!Lots of love from Botswana!

I'm at a pivoting moment, find it difficult to forget my qualifications and years of experience. I know all about starting over. Just need a mentor like Mummy who has been where I want to go. I pray that I will find the right mentor in Jesus Name. Amen

May her beautiful soul rest in God’s eternal peace 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Lizzie Wanyoike is such an inspiration. My take home is the determination in her. She is also so humble, one would not even imagine that she owns so much. I have loved her home and the hotel and the fact that she reaches out to people who need a lifting hand. God bless you abundantly for your good work.
