"Is it not the money I worked hard for"?-Chika Ike on why she flaunts her shopping trips

If you recall, Chika Ike came under fire for posting photos of her day to day shopping spree in Abu Dhabi..Speaking to the Sun,she said....

Usually, every year, I take a vacation, because I feel have worked so hard all through , I deserve a break. As they say all work and not play makes “Chika a dull girl”. I just had to take a time out and whenever I do, I make sure I rest very well. I don’t know why it has been all over the whole nation, but I had fun..
Whose money? Is it not the money I worked hard for? Did anybody give me? I have worked hard and I deserved every bit of the luxury I enjoyed over there and I can proudly say that. I will do it over and over again because I deserve it.

I guess she is dispelling rumours her trip was sponsored by a big wig.. she is an independent woman...
