“I think everything has been today, positively or negatively, because of my father’s death, it affected me so much, because I did not mourn my father,” she said.
“I understand that I was his only child for a long time and my dad and I were very close, he was the manager of Lagos country club at the time, many influential people come there and because of that, I started rolling with people of influence from a little age.

“When they came to pick me up from school when I was 13, I knew something was wrong and prayed that nothing bad had happened to my father.

“When I got home, I realised my dad was dead, so going through that mental process, I didn’t know how to react and I didn’t know how I was feeling, I was just silent but now that I’m older, I think I really understand everything. So I just became emotionless, and it has stayed with me to this day.
“There is nothing anyone says to me that can move me, I am so confident in who I am and I don’t fear anyone. I don’t fear for my life; I would have probably become a se.x worker today because I was desperate to do anything and said I’d rather sell my body than have anyone take my younger brother apart.”
