Did you know you would emerge as the Winner Of Miss Tourism Ogun 2016 Culture before You were crowned?
Sincerely, I wasn't sure I will be the Miss Tourism Ogun 2016 Culture because everyone who took part in the Contest were great. They were competitive and experienced. So, it was just like a game of uncertainty.

My topmost goals as a model is to have my face recognizable enough that clients are now selling themselves to me and not my agents selling me to them. Also, to be impactful in my society.

My parents are the supportive ones so I had no choice than to make them proud.
What's Your own definition of Advertisement industry and Photography?
Advertisement is like public notice and Photography is producing images. Therefore, they work together because you can't publicize something without giving images as evidence.

What are some differences between Runway and Photogenic Modelling?
Runway is walking on platforms majorly to create awareness on something while Photogenic modelling is simply depending on face.

If I have a super power, I would kill terrorism completely because I believe nobody deserves to die due to that.
You being signed to Exquisite Models, What would You love to accomplish at that Modelling Agency?
To be their top model and a major source of fame and income for them.
How often do you do exercise or go to the gym?
Sincerely, I do not. I'm just blessed with a fit stature tho I love dancing even when I'm just alone at home, so that could contribute too.
How has Modeling changed other aspects of your Life?
Without doubt, modelling has actually given me a wider exposure to life. It affected my whole life style positively and no regrets at all.
Where do you see yourself in the Next 3 - 4 Years?
In the next 3-4 years, I see myself as a hot cake in the industry and also someone who people look up to in all ways.

I see myself at top in the industry. I do not have plans to contest for MBGN. I mostly have interest in anything cultural. So my next target is Miss Lagos carnival (AGBEKE EKO).
Tell us 5 Tourist Centers you know in Nigeria?
Olumo rock, Ikogosi Water Spring, Zuma Rock, Whispering Palms, Idanre Hills.
In what way do you think Tourism can help and grow the Nigerian Economy?
Yeah, tourism is an important source of income to Nigeria but this is unknown to many people . Culture and history if preserved are things that can never go.
Therefore, if our tourist centres are made fascinating, people from within and outside Nigeria will be encouraged to visit and inwardly, money is coming in.
