My hobby is  reading novels , writing and dancing. My favorite is any food  that  goes with palmnut soup. My biggest dream is to b able to cloth the naked and feed the hungry. As a model to be I wish to influence young ladies in society and  a respected role model for all . I have this God gifted talent of using beads for bags, necklace, waist beads,  stomach beads,headbands etc.


 My project is to teach young children in remote areas , dropouts and teenage girls  to b able to Carter for them selves  . There is a saying that if you give a man a fish he eats once but if you teach him how to fish  he will eat all the time.  I believe giving them a hand work will be beneficial.   I pray every nook and cranny in the world will help me and my project."
