What’s your favourite fun spot in Nigeria?
My favourite place in Nigeria is Mushin in Lagos.
How does it feel living among Nigerians?
Nigerians are very warm people. Every time I visit, they embrace me well. They are hospitable and warm. These qualities are what endeared Nigerians to me.
What Nigerian food did you first taste?
The first Nigerian meal I ate was pounded yam.
Which Nigerian local dish do you enjoy the most?
I love pounded yam, plantain while my favourite is suya.
Tell a story about your life in Nigeria?
I will describe it as the best life ever. I am treated like a queen. The truth is that I always feel at home and welcome.
Which places have you been to in Nigeria?
I have visited so many places like Erio-Ekiti, Ife, and Ibadan. There are other things I find fascinating about the country. Two of such that readily come to mind are the vehicular traffic and (the taste of) bush meat.
