- 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

Rest in Peace Lizzie🙏
Thank you for loving me🙏
So sad 😭 may God Rest her soul in peace
I just saw it on Instagram Nairobi gossip, I had to come here and confirm because remember watching this episode..May her soul rest in peace 😢😢
This is really Sad. Rest in perfect peace Lizzie😢
💔
May her soul rest in peace.
Thanks Lynn for having interviewed her.
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
Precisely!
Agree
same here sis
Very true
Yeah I agree
Ladies, also remember: it is better to be single than to be lonely in a toxic, loveless and cold marriage.
Niko hapo sahii nashindwa hata nifanye Nini my husband is becoming very toxic lately nashindwa niache watoto niende juu Sina uwezi or nivumilie mtoto mdogo Ako na shida ya roho she needs surgery na Sina uwezi wowote I'm really confused
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.
you are in trouble if this is your advisor if you believe happines can only be found in marriage and money

Liz Wanyoike needs to write a biography, she's an inspiration
I'm a man and when I see women being good business leaders I feel good vibes. Go Lynn
Oh my word! The name Kahuhia girls High School brings sooo many childhood memories. I am Ugandan and between January 1982 and December 1988, my beloved mother taught Geography there.
Wow make her watch this dear
Wouw,,,,, nyce to hear thiz.❤
The best school to take your girl child.. I enjoy being a parent there...
Am an old girl of that school
@@ruthmuange459 Thanks for reaching out. It was a great school when I was growing up and I am sure it still is. I remember Mrs Tindyebwa who was the Headmistress at the time and her children. Great memories indeed.
Am inspired by this woman..I knew her years back when she sponsored my sister in highschool..God bless you Lizzy
wow Go bless you Lizzy
She was a real icon. Extremely humble . May God rest Her soul in peace

Wueh came to watch this after her departure and she still inspired me .
Am I the only one who ate githeri daily growing up and still LOOOOVES it today? Lizzie is a hero.. Mad love
No

Me I blame my boarding school!! That githeri ruined my life 😅😂😂
I do love githeri too.
Madam Liz ...I will forever be grateful to you.
I joined NIBS as a diploma student ;did a medical course,got a job as a diploma holder... started saving to further my education; today I have two degrees and one of them is a medical degree.....you were such a blessing to us as students,I can't forget how you used to go with us to churches (CU members)when you had been invited as guest of honour and you used to buy us lunch ... through your vision many have achieved their dreams.....I will forever be grateful to God for giving you such a great vision.
Wishing you a long and healthy life.
Thank you Lynn for bringing such kind of guests.
Kindly how much for diploma ...nursing
Rest easy Momma. You empowered me. You were my second mom, I am happy I made you aware of what I have become since you played a part in my life. It is hard coz I had planned to come see you and give an update, but you left too soon, shine on your way, Mama.
According to studies marriage benefits men more. It very costly for a womam financially, psychologically, emotionally, spiritually and physically. So make sure he is worthwhile.
Please say it again. He must be worth it. Lest you have a hell on earth and have nostalgia over your singleness
@Angela Nyambura I strongly agree 💯👍
Sasa mkiongea hivi, vijana wetu wataoa nani? Pls gals, don't be too hard on the boy child. @mama boys

@@ushindiraha that's what am doing. Wishing you all best.
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.
Its not about the age,its about what God can do..i wedded in a church wedding while 47years with my 3 grown up children ad a grand kid too.to a genuine ad a very caring husband...
Keep the faith. My husband walked out when I was 56 and it was a blessing. At 59 and a grandmother I had a young girls wedding to a God sent man.
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.
Catherine, it's back home that we have age limits in marriage, in every age you can get a man who needs a woman for a wife. But also us ladies have to accept it. Ukipendwa, pendeka
Being single the best
Rest well Lizzie. What a powerful and yet humble woman. I love her lessons, back to the drawing board for me..I feel blessed to watch this and learn and unlearn so much i had in my mind. I plan to publish short stories this 2024. Thanks Lizzie for the lessons, fare thee well and to your family, May you gain peace beyond human understanding during this period and as days, turn to months and years. Thank you so much Lynn for your platform as always.
That part when they are comfortable enough and start talking about love while laughing... That's what sets Lynne apart from others... She makes her geusts fell comfortable enough to say anything... That's a gift
My principal back in my campus......Nibs college she is an icon and a gem 💎 ✨️ 💖 always happy that she created the best environment for everybody she is very good 👍 👍
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
Cmon my sister you said it all. Hey women, if you find the right partner it is a good thing. Please dont settle for anything less because you dont want to be single. I disagree with "life is meant to be shared" i know many people through my job who are stuck in unhappy marriabes because of culture, they are miserable.
Sure with a good partner... marriage can be enjoyable
Marriage should always be a prayer point. It requires a lot of work for it to work and prayer is one of them.
Marriage should be a place to be respected, valued, loved but not the other way round . Most people are just enduring the sake of fulfilling society norms
For those who have been married and separated. Because they have experienced both, you can be single and not lonely, it depends on individual it is not collective
Very true I agree with you
So true think for her it's the generation where she's coming from
She's an educator. She's an entrepreneur. She's a nurturer.
My friend it’s better to be alone than to with
Narcissists!!
When she says that she has been there for people at personal level, I'am one of those people. MADAM LIZZIE I LOVE YOU❤️, YOU ARE A RARE GEM
The best gift you can give back to her now that she's gone is to emulate her. It doesn't matter how broke you are; pick people and lift them up.
She's truthful
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!!
I love this woman. When I grow up I want to be like her.
I loved her simplicity and silent achievement and her mentorship. We will miss you Lizzie...rest in eternal peace.
May she rest in peace. Her journey is inspiring. She has left a legacy.
I am in awe of Lizzie Wanyoike so much...of all her accomplishments and achievements...she is truly down to earth...I admire her passion and zeal...her work ethic of working with parents in her educational establishments is truly amazing...not many institutions have that parent-learner-teacher cohesion...I am an inspired lady who aspires to have her own ventures...thank you for sharing your story Lizzie and thank you Lynn for beautifully hosting the show...for getting us the insight we ought to have to build our personal lives.
Women like this make me work harder and smart in life. Every woman should dream big. Success is our portion in Jesus name.
Amen
Amen 🙏

@@linnmoraanash No giving up
Lizzie Wanyoike and Dr. Jennifer Riria have always been my role models, especially in their roles of touching people's lives. I'm darn proud of their hard work.
Madam Liz is very very beautful, not just physically but her beauty radiates from within! She has an awesome spirit and her aura is amazing!
I love how this lady is so full of life. Keep inspiring people of all ages.
Truth is, being single is not easy but it's a better option sometimes.
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
Ooooooh My principal Lizzie Wanyoike in NIBS...I admire her so much and our school is Amazing 😍😍.. Thanks Lynn for bringing Lizzie her Story is amazing.
It's not a must you follow all advise. Pick and choose what works for you.
True
Liz is such an educator.Her parenting tips are helpful always.God bless you Lynn&Liz.
You have been a great mentor liz. You touched many souls. Marriage was not your Calling. Serving humanity was. You have gone a strong warrior. May your kids continue the good work you started
Single is no longer a lack of options but a choice to refuse to let your life be defined by your relationship status but to live every day Happily & let your Ever After Work.
Well said
She is a really nice woman. Her company is very warm. She's big but very humble. Much respect to her. Someone I can definitely wish to admire and emulate.
May God rest her soul in eternal peace😢
R.i.p Lizzie
Lizzie is such a beautiful, simple and yet elegant soul. I'm inspired.
She was such a beautiful soul; She achieved alot! Thank you Lynn for having celebrate her while alive. May her Soul rest in perfect peace.
May Lizzie's soul rest in peace. She has made such positive impact especially in the Education sector.
Lynn thank you for this episode, I value all your speakers but this lady. Inspires me to continue rebuilding my life, starting afresh for the 3rd or 4th time. The wisdom that Mummy spoke is so true. 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
Beautiful story here, truly there is hope.
The githeri part.... aki I ate githeri all through primary and secondary life and I hated it. am a 6th born too, and so when schools close and I visit my brothers, dad would request them not to cook githeri- this left me in trouble with one of my sister- in- law.
When I got married, and was pregnant with my first born, aki the only food I wanted all through to my EDD was githeri 😝🙆😛😛
😂😂 pole
Okio maah 😂😂😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥
😅😅 all you craved was githeri during pregnancy.😅😂
No human is limited.....Liz is such an inspiration. May we have the courage to go after all our dreams
This interview has made me feel it’s like Lizzie had a premonition of her death...the succession,the mentorship ....May her soul rest well
Cancer diagnosis gives you time to prepare
Lynn, you are such an EXCELLENT interviewer/journalist! You let people tell their stories without subtly or deceptively leading them into what you necessarily want to hear or what you "may" want to affirm. Please please do not allow the world/society to change you. Your skill IS a gift from God. Blessings from Kampala... a Kampala girl raised and bred in Nairobi, Kenya...
So inspiring listening to Lizzie Wanyoike. She is very hard working and God has helped her to chaieve alot
I really love and admire madam Lizzie. Thank you for hosting her, Lynn.
I had a chance encounter with Liz once when I was looking for a house in Plainview.. Very humble woman. Great to see she has prospered so much. A good inspiration.
She is a nice Godly woman, who hosted us so well together with her daughter stella at Emory. Thank you for telling her story..very inspiring.
Wow! There is a pain behind every story. I was thrilled to listen to challenges you had to overcome to become successful. So full of wisdom as well.
Ooh my God, she is glowing. I remember her interview some years back. All glory to God. Let me listen now
Lizzie's story inspires me🙏she is so amazing to listen 🙏🏽
Its a matter of finding the right person, the one person who understands you accepts you, loves you and holds you as his/her privilege otherwise you can be with someone and still lonely and grieving
Very true
Very well put.
Stop finding and become the right person
Wow thank you Lynn for bringing her here ,be blessed atleast have learned alot through this platform ❤️❤️❤️
My former boss said those words to me,and I believed her she was my mentor and she made me change my mind on not wanting to get married,right now I am happily married.
Single life is a scam. Too lonely
@@agnesndumia1713 it depends on your growth ambition coz that translates to how much free time one has to please another human being. I've also found hapiness in my pets.
@@agnesndumia1713 nahhhh. married broken life is the biggest scam. Everyone has different lives. Not everyone wants to get married. Not everyone want kids. Not everyone does things like every other person. I will congratulate you the very day you understand this.
i am choosing not to get maried .i decided when i was 16 now i am 29 single nd feeling okay.

True the best life is marriage
Aunt Liz is such a great role model!Keep it up!I have been inspired!Lots of love from Botswana!
Oh my goodness ! 😮
This lady is a real gem💎. She's is an example of hardworking, dedicated, caring, ambitious, sweet and Wonderful woman 👠. I love her for real and she has accomplished More ❤️. Am inspired and propelled to do More. Thanks for sharing this powerful message. She's gorgeous, lovely and kindhearted ❤. May her soul rest in eternal Peace 🕊️. She left a legacy 😭😭😭. We shall Miss her very big. Piece of work 💪.
This lady had something special about herself and the blessings that were coming her way
It's not Girls alone, or single women, we are single men also. Sacrifice is the best to make lives of our children better than bringing in someone to mess their lives. Marriage is perfect for those who understand it. You guys have made my day!
Thank you Lynn for this show. Was very enlightening. God gave her the wisdom to incoporate her nuclear family and mentor them to continue with her legacy. May her beautiful soul rest peacefully.
Awesome interview... A legacy of Madam Lizzie, thanks Lynn.
Peace to all that loved Lizzie
Nobody is talking about how Lynne is glowing... loved this episode
May be ask Lynn which foundation she is using as well as the serums
She was EPITOME of self brand marketing and staunch advocate of a good reputation. Rest In Peace. Liz 🕯️
You mean she is no more?
@Elizabeth she passed on early this week
Madam Lizzie was fir sure a very rare gem. She mentored, inspired and most of all she assisted the needy. May her soul RIP.
I love how authentic Lizzie is. Powerful woman.
Really inspired by Madam Liz, she has also come through my life so many times. May the good Lord continue shining upon her .....it was a nice interview Lynn....God bless you
Inspired 🥰. Intelligent woman from grass to grace. What a story 😍😍
I was in a marriage, now I love my own company! My kids are grown!
Thanks for the advice.
Hi
Please fellow women note that the only thing missing in Lizzie's life now is only a life partner...how come she didn't accomplish all that while still in her marriage??
Its much better to invest and become economically stable before rushing into marriage... Majority of people are not able to balance marriage and career and therefore end up sacrificing one for the other...#choose your hard.
@Chukey good for you!! Yes there are those who manage to balance and enjoy both... Oh how we all wish for happy endings in all marriages!! But unfortunately it's not always the case...just like Lizzie, I too had a perfect picture of how I wanted my life and family to be; until I couldn't handle betrayal and abuse anymore...
When you notice stagnation know you're either in the wrong place or in the wrong company. Spouses can bring blessings or curses, be watchful
Wow I love her. Liz is wise, resilient and humble. Kwanza that part she approached her son-in-law first. Wisdom! Most MILs would approach their daughter instead.
If you are watching this after her death please like👍... May she rest in peace
I always look forward to your stories from Tales of Wanjiku to Inspire global. they are different and encouraging. Wewe hutujenga sana Lynn.
I watched this show sometimes back. When I learnt about her demise I felt so bad as if I knew her physically. RIP iron lady.
Oooooooo NO.......Death is so bad i swear....I want to imjn this kind of a soul has gone to Heaven......She is too loving and wncouranging....please say HI❤ to my small sister......I know she is in Heaven ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤RIP Lizzy Wanyoike.
Muthere as we call it in kirinyaga.
This woman is an inspiration to many.God bless you.
Lynn Ngugi, thanks for hosting this wonderful lady.... Lizzie Wanyoike,, what you started will impact society and our children in such a big way, God bless you and family.
I must commend you for hosting Lizzie here to tell us her story. Most of us only see her achievements, but don't know the struggle behind it all. Looking forward to getting inspired and learning a thing or two. Asante LNN ❤️
Starting a business in her fourties and having acheived these much. A hand of God
There is hope even at an advanced age.
I don't think so too...I think situations are different for everybody....I think companionship is great but just because you don't have it doesn't mean you're incomplete... imagine someone who has been broken over and over and over and you finally decide to be single and find your happiness in your work, your family and your friends. Yes it can get lonely at times but it's better than being with someone just for the hell of it.
💯💯💯
Absolutely right dear
👍👍👍👍
You've said the reality I'm single and 45 years but I don't feel lonely and I don't want any man near me I fell happy wen single chenye nilipitia siwezi tamani mwanaume,

Why is everybody ignoring the look on Lynn's face when she Lizzie says "He would buy me soda and eventually I found myself pregnant" She has a great sense of humour and has made my day🤣

What a beautiful soul. So inspiring. Lynn you’re awesome
Such an hearty interview. It was such a lovely mother daughter conversation. She lived out her purpose. Rest easy mummy.
Very true
Amazing 👏 🎉🎉Extremely inspiring story. I love her simplicity and straightforward outlook. She is truly herself!!! Rest in peace mama Lizzie. You have really served society and provided opportunities for soo many young people. I pray that God grants you a big heaven. Rest in Peace 🙏
I remembered this episode and I went back to watch it again. RIP Lizzie. You left a mark in this country & your legacy lives on! A life well lived
Hi Lynn......
The very first victory for her is that she left, when she felt need to protect her peace.
I wish Lynn I would come over to Nairobi just to meet mum Lizzie physically. Am so impressed with her efforts and I was almost giving up but because of her I got strength to move on
Wow!!!!! What a woman, phenomenal!! There is so much to take from her as I try to create my own brand and space in the business world.I love love her story.
Thanks Lynn for this episode…we really need motivation (aspiring entrepreneurs) I really needed this coz I need to follow my dreams…🙏
It is true I second you being single it is not easy you need somebody to walk with your through this journey called life somebody to encourage you ,when you are down to uplift you personally I can testify kuwa single is the hardest thing and ladies let us not pretend especially ukiwa na mtoi hope mimi ndiyo wa kwanza kucomment.
Hiyo part ya companionship nakubali. It is so important, that is why God created Eve because Adam was very lonely in the garden.
It may be true to some but not all...it really depends on the season of life you're in..and also your priorities...one cannot die from being single, but being in unhappy marriage/relationship can be fatal...
I'm currently divorced and quite happy in my single season as I heal and reinvent myself.
so true girl, was raised by a single mum, she told me you need to get married, you need someone to talk to and hold you when you fall, plus blame for your failed dreams not you n you alone
@@carolkami.671 when marriage works it's a beautiful thing. But if it doesn't, one can always step out, it's not a prison. For me I prefer being married, it hasn't been 100% perfect but with love and respect we are here almost 30 years later.
@@bellaolum9768 very true hebu try to imagine if God just created Adam this world haingekuwa complete.
when you talk about marriage in Kenya the first blow back you get is that i would rather be single than be in a toxic marriage , we equate marriage with all the negatives but i have personally seen people who are so happy together and have achieved more in life as a team, lets not give up on marriage but look for people that we are compatible with.
Wow, this woman is powerful!!! Well done lizzie, now you have it all, i pray that God Will provide a very good helper who Will walk with you through your successful journey. Very proud of you🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
RIP Lizzie you were truly a Great gift to society.We thank God for your Legacy. So beautiful.Thanks Lynn for another Great Show.
Very inspiring. May her soul rest in eternal peace.🙏
After been married to a narcissist Man U will appreciate being alone.weeh let’s not even argue about that.am done after 17 years in toxic marriage 😢😢😢😢
Life is so confusing from the time I listened to your story have grown to love you and admire you and was motivated knowing that you can pick up the pieces and make it. RIP Mum
Quite inspiring. I love women in Business. It’s clear she was a visionary with no limits. She Had a ‘different eye’ to things… easy to explain why she’s a legendary. RIP
