Watched before crossing Your path?
Especially, smiles you wear like a
Sunshade.
If I overlook your sonorous voice,
Can I deny your zeal to chat with me at Any Opportunity of your leisure time?
Your calmness is like a dove
And your humility tells whom you are to Heads.
If I overlook your unique appearance Like Peacock, I cannot deny that you Are One of
The Nigerian celebrities With class.
A pretty senior actress with amazing Idiosyncrasy.
If I overlook your recent award as the Best Breakthrough Senior Actress of the Year
At SRTV Legendary Awards 2020 and
