Sharing photos of the shoes, Ikeji said she initially planned to get 40 shoes as presents for herself, but there were too many beautiful shoes to select from.

"OK, let's do this! Hehe. Surrounded by my birthday present from myself to myself. I was going to buy 40 designer shoes to celebrate turning 40 and then I started shopping and couldn't stop!. Too many beautiful shoes to select from so I ended up buying 85 pairs. (80 in the pic, 5 on da way). And yes, I bought all of them at the same gaddam time!. Who does that? ??, ME, that's who!.

"I'm so grateful, so thankful, so happy! Happy birthday to me! ???. P.S, These photos don't do the shoes justice"
