Content creator @dr_celiwe, now calling herself Dr Cee, has signalled a new chapter in her life by removing her Nigerian husband's surname from her social media profiles. The medical doctor, who describes herself as a child of God and as a separated mum in her bio, recently shared photos of a mansion she seems to be considering.

In one post, standing in front of the house, she shared a powerful message:

"I wish I could talk to you about everything I've been through to get to this point in my life... I want to say, no matter how many times you mess up, God has a way of turning that mess into a message. May God honour you and make things right for you."
