What inspired you to contest for MBG OAU?
A very close friend of mine was my inspiration. She inspired me because I didn’t have any intention of going before but we were just talking randomly one evening and she convinced me, reminding me of my potential, to go for the contest.

Can you share some of the challenges you faced during the competition?
Oh, sure! I faced quite several challenges. A major challenge I faced was insufficient finance. There were lots of expenses I had to take care of but I didn’t have enough money, I also couldn’t get a sponsor. I had to seek assistance from my friends. There were times I also had to meet people to support me physically, especially during the Instagram voting. I went to a couple of hostels and public places to convince people, it wasn’t easy trust me. There was a time I had to go to a particular hostel alone immediately after my class on an empty stomach. Another challenge was getting influential people to support me. I got turned down several times and I faced a couple of disappointments. Well, this is just part of the challenges I went through in my journey.
