Congratulations on your emergence as the Classic Queen international top model, how do you feel about being the runner-up 

At first, I wasn’t exactly happy about it, but then I realized that being the 2nd runner-up doesn’t change the fact that I’m also a Queen, and I have my role to play. So I’m elated.

How did you hear about the pageantry and what informed you to contest?

My manager told me about it but I had encouragement from someone special (Charles)to contest.

What were the challenges you faced and how did you overcome them?

It’s been three years since I last contested in a pageant. So I almost backed out because I was in a different location and the requirements as well. But I never back down. So I spoke to a couple of people and as God would have it preparations were made and here I am today

What stands you out among your peers and what’s the secret of your success?

A lot of my peers are afraid of failing but I believe that “True Success is overcoming the fear of being unsuccessful “Paul Sweeney and that’s what keeps me pushing, I never give up.

what’s your take on the pageant and what’s your proposed project as beauty queen?

It’s a great platform and I feel honored to be part of the organization. I have lots of projects I might not be able to accomplish all but I believe most would be fulfilled, I plan on working with the government of Cross River State to take as many street children as possible, off the streets, which is titled OTSCOTS(Operation take the streets children off the streets). My second project is on youth skill acquisition/Agriculture. My Third project would be projecting Cross River State and Nigeria at large as a tourist State and Country by traveling to different places while doing documentaries…

Who are your role models and mentors?

My dad, Naomi Campbell, and Catriona Gray
