The mum of two said:” I remember very clearly as a kid may be at the age of 10 or 11, that every evening, I walked from Igbogosho crossing the famous Lekki Expressway to Jakande just to fetch water for cooking .Today, see how far God has brought us, It wasn’t easy, but I always knew my life was more than that life.

“Thank you lord for turning my life around from that girl that use to help her mom sell pepper soup after school, whose mom was “the cook”. That girl who had to start her first degree as a part-time student because she had to be at work by 7am-6pm (marketing and selling magazines)and rush to LASU Ikoyi campus by 6:30. I was always late to class” she recounted.
