“I was busy applauding the other people as they received their awards. Then suddenly I heard them reading a profile that sounded like mine. I looked around to be sure I wasn’t mistaken, then I heard: ‘all the way from Nigeria let’s make welcome and there was my name! God has been busy surprising my life with goodies but I think this is one of greatest surprises I’ve got in recent times,” she enthused.
