1) THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO YOU IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS?
Supporting my Indian special friend Dhwain Jain to raise funds here in Nigeria to procure more oxygen cylinders due to the shortage of oxygen in India, a lot of people have died from this covid19. It's life-changing for me to be part of saving humanity. Thanks to those that share this vision.
2) THE WORST THING THAT HAPPENED TO YOU IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS?
Losing my job before I started my NGO fully, it kind of gave me setbacks. But it also made me challenge myself for a greater height.
3) YOUR BIGGEST WISH FOR THE NEAR FUTURE?
To see more women arising and supporting each other every step of the way.
4) YOUR BIGGEST WORRY FOR THE NEAR FUTURE?
I'm most concerned about nature. The world is changing fast and I'm hoping that not something worse than corona virus will befall us.
