North East Local Government Area, Edo State, Nigeria. She is a bachelor degree

light on her journey to stardom.
WHAT KIND OF MODELING DO YOU
DO AND HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN MODELING?
I do pageantry, runway and
editorials. I have been in modeling
since I was 14. My elder sister introduced me to it, she wanted to be a model
and an actress, so then I always follow her for her castings. And on many
occasions the people in charge make interest in me and put me in as well, so
that was how it all started.
YOU PARTICIPATED IN FACE
OF TOPFLYERS MAGAZINE PAGEANT AND YOU WON THE NUMBER ONE POSITION AS FACE OF
TOPFLYERS MAGAZINE PAGEANT 2019/2020. HOW DID YOU FEEL?
Well, I put in so much
work. The result of my input was the crown. I have never put in so much effort
in a pageant before, this one was really hard for me, at some point I wanted to
quit. But I said to myself if I quit now, and I see someone else win it would
be my fault because I quitted. I was not ready to see that happen, that was
what just kept me going.
At the point of calling
the winner everyone was shouting Number 18, I was number 18. I was overwhelmed,
I could not contain it. It was like the crowd came for me. It was a great
feeling to be honest.
HOW WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE IN
CAMP?
I was very quiet in camp
because I came 2 days late to the camp. I was the last to arrive there, but on
my arrival it was like the whole contestants wanted to see me. They always say
"oh this is the girl with the highest vote, we have been waiting for you"
I was super shocked (laughs) but the whole camp was nice. I wasn't stressed
only the late nights was challenging and my two roommates were very comfortable
and special, they were the best I could ever have had in the pageant.
WHAT DO YOU INTEND TO DO
DIFFERENTLY TO SURPASS PAST QUEENS YOU TOOK OVER FROM?
Wining a crown is a duty
not just a glory. I intend to fulfill those duties to the best of my ability. I
am not in competition with my predecessors. I just want to do what is right and
fulfill the purpose of the crown and let God take over.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR PET
PROJECT FOR THE YEAR 2020 AND WHAT EXTENT YOU INTEND TO TAKE IT TO?
I titled my pet project “SHE”.
It is all about the girl child. It touches three areas of concentration,
education, entrepreneurship and awareness against cervical cancer. I called it
PROJECT SHE AFRICA because I intend to cut across my nation Nigeria to her sister
countries in the Africa continent. I cannot do this alone; this is why I would
need the support of the masses to make a change in the lives of the girl child.
WHAT IS YOUR CHALLENGE
REGARDING YOUR PET PROJECT.
I think finance is the
challenge. I have the drive and the determination and the only limitation I see
is finance which I hope to overcome.
HOW DO YOU INTEND TO
MANAGE THIS MONEY WHEN YOU HAVE SPONSORS FOR YOUR PET PROJECT?
I would do according to
the money raised for the pet project; trust me I always got an A in accounting
subject while in school. So scale of preference would be applied accordingly.
GETTING AN “A” IN YOUR
ACCOUNTING SUBJECT, DOES IT QUARANTINE TRANSPARENCY?
For me, it is a yes.
WHERE DO YOU HOPE TO BE IN
THE NEXT 5 YEARS?
I hope to be a business
mogul, and a married woman.
WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT FACE
OF TOPFLYERS MAGAZINE PAGEANT?
It is the content they
have which is the magazine. They have a product to sell with percentages. It is
different from other pageants.
WHAT MESSAGE DO YOU HAVE
FOR YOUR FANS WHO WANTS TO BE LIKE YOU?
A lot of girls meet me to
coach them for pageantry. And they always come out top. My message to them is
to have a good mentor if they want to be like me, I have many mentors in and
outside the country, prominent of which are Coach Naya CEO of Pageant Studio
Africa and Coach Ada who resides in London and former MBGN Queen. I learn a lot
from them and I am grateful for their impacts in my life. Again, I advise they
should never give up on their dreams and goals.
HOW DO YOU RELAX?
I relax by sleeping. If
something stresses me, I leave it immediately and I do series of vacation just
to be alone with myself. I really love being alone; I do not play with it.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MEAL
AND COLOUR?
I really love pounded yam and Egusi soup/Eforiro
but a lot of people thinks its Indomie or Rice (laughs). My favourite color is
Blue. It speaks strength, power, authority, peace etc. As you can see, the sky
and the sea are Blue. I am not really good at explaining blue but I really just
love that color.
WHAT IS THAT ONE THING YOU
CAN NOT DO TO SURVIVE THIS LIFE?
When you say one thing you
cannot do to survive this life, the only thing that comes to my mind is to deny
my faith in God with the option to live. Well you will have to kill me first.
