Always stand your ground on what is right/wrong whether people love you or hate you for it.
People are going to talk regardless.
Nigeria is a dangerous place.”

What do you like best about being a celebrity? And what do you like the least?

“I honestly hate being called a celebrity, I’m really just a normal girl doing what I love, however I love that I have amazing supporters from across the world.”

“I hate that there are always people judging me because I’m in the public eye, to the point where I feel like it’s almost a sin to be myself.”

How do you refresh?

What are your personal views on feminism?

What’s your favorite place to be?

“My favourite place to be is in bed! Where I’m most relaxed and able to reflect.”

Describe your dream life.
