At Elite Model Look we say: “your differences make our world”. What makes you different?

What sets me apart is my desire to learn and get better as a person. I am looking forward to the Elite Model Look World Final as a chance to grow. I believe we learn best from others, so I am looking forward to meeting new people and seeing what I can bring to the mix. 

What is your passion? 

For me, cooking is a form of artistic expression. I've been cooking for five years. I love being in the kitchen, because I love food, and making others happy through what makes me happy!

Who inspires you to succeed?

My family.

What is your favourite…

Song: I by Kendrick Lamar. It reminds me to love myself for who I am regardless where I find myself and what happens around me.

Model: Victor Ndigwe. He has such a great personality and started from my school so we have some things in common!

Instrument:  I would love to play the drums. To me, the drums are very simple and amazing expression of feeling.

Music artist: Kendrick Lamar, I'm such a fan of his lifestyle and his music is ever evolving, getting better and he keeps it original. For me, he always has a message to what he does. His art is really divine.

What does happiness mean to you?

Happiness for me means contentment and peace. I feel someone can truly be happy when they’re content, at peace with themselves and with God.

 If you could go anywhere in the world – where would you go?

I would love to go to Paris, the city of love. France is an amazing country with amazing loving people with a great culture.

How does it feel to represent Nigeria at the 35th Elite Model Look World Final?

I feel very excited and happy to be the winner of Elite Model Look Nigeria 2018! I really feel blessed. I hadn’t heard of the competition until I was scouted by Elite Model Look, and I then I Googled it. I was really impressed by what I learned! I went for the regional casting held at the University of Benin in Edo State. To be honest, I really didn't think I would win, but I hoped to go far in the contest and in the end, God did it for me and I won! I really feel honored and grateful to be recognized along sides Davidson, Victor Ndigwe and Mayowa Nicholas. I really feel happy and very lucky. I have a passion for everything to do with fashion, I really admire models like Tyson Beckford and David Gandy and it's really been something I've always wanted to do. 

What are you most proud of about Nigeria?

I'm proud of most about Nigeria is our unity in diversity. Nigeria is a country with diverse cultures but in all this we are still one NIGERIA! I'm really really honored and happy to be representing my country in the Elite Model Look World Final. It really is amazing. I would love to take my mum because she has always supported me since I started this journey and I believe she deserves to see me shine at the World Final, God willing.
