I think that’s every girl’s dream."

"I think what will draw people to you is your personality. It doesn’t matter if you speak like Obama or the Queen, if you are horrible, you are horrible, and if you are a nice person, you are a nice person. I don’t think how you talk makes a difference. It is only in Nigeria here that people have an issue with accents. They need to be a bit more open to people because we have a lot of foreigners here, so you need to be open to however people speak. I know that some Nigerians have an issue with people who have accents."

"I know people like to see glamour; they like to see glare and all of that, but it is really important that we talk about some of the things that are accepted as a people, and that is really what I am going to do. We do not talk about it enough. It is going to serve as a platform to expose some of the things that some people are going through and probably maybe help them seek the help from organisations and location centers around the country that are aided in assisting in such situations that not many of the victims are aware of. For instance, like the subject of rape, when somebody is raped; where do they go to, who do they talk to? And you know rape is a very sensitive subject? Sometimes it is peculiar to the case because some people could argue that she brought it upon herself, but nobody ever wants to go out there and be raped. So I want to tell a story about that, and how the victims, despite the circumstances in which they became victims, how they can get help and move on. Some people who went through this ordeal have not fully recovered from what they went through; it is just maybe a guide. I don’t have all the answers, but I would like to say maybe this is one of them."

"I am probably one of the simplest people you would ever come across. I am not the most glamorous. I am not flashy, no craziness, and I am not controversial; there is no scandal or anything. I try and keep it simple, as simple as possible. I take the day as it comes. I try not to get upset about anything anymore."

"It’s not all about just getting married. To me marriage is worthless."

"It’s kind of makes it like someone is trying to choke me. I need my space, I don’t want nobody choking my life."
