Tell us your first day on stage
That was a long time ago. I was a little girl then. I sang with Tosin Jegede

First trip abroad
I’m not sure which country but I know it is a West African country. But now, I can’t count how many countries I have been to.
First car
It was a BMW. I sold it some years ago.
First day you met your husband
I met him in the church. I was busy working and didn’t know he was watching me all along. We became friends and the rest is history.
First pregnancy
That was two years after I got married. I had a baby girl. It was okay. I had no complications. I got married in 2008 to Ehi Moses.
First inspiration as a singer?
My inspiration is the Holy Ghost. People just sit down and watch TV and all sorts. You must understand that your mind is very receptive so you have to guard what you put in your mind. I keep off from many things because I don’t like any strange inspiration because you don’t know what is going through you. The devil is not joking. Have fellowship with the Holy Ghost, be in a church, be under the ministry of the word, the bible. Talk about giving yourself to the ministry of the word. All these will work together to make you a minister of God without blemish or wrinkle.
