Which secondary school did you first attend?
That should be Government Secondary School, Nyanya, Abuja. It was for a short period. During our time, the best three students in the Junior Secondary School exams were usually given automatic admission to Government Girls Science Secondary School, Kuje. I remember vividly that I was among the top three students. I used to be very brilliant unlike now. So I was ‘pushed’ to the science school in Kuje. But eventually, I had to finish up at Army Day Secondary School, Asokoro.
Would you remember the first time you performed on the stage?
It was on a Saturday. We used to have a get together every Saturday in my school, Government Girls Science Secondary School, Kuje. I used to be the only one that would come out to perform. Others would be doing other stuff but I would choose to come out and sing in front of everybody feeling like a star.
What was the first song you recorded professionally?
It was produced by Nelson Brown in 1997. It was titled Funky Women.
What of your first album?
It was Black Attraction. I released it in 1998.
What was your first car?
It was a Nissan Maxima. I don’t think I can remember how much it cost me.
Did you have a best friend when you were much younger?
I had two, a boy and girl. They were my first best friends. Their names are Chika Aningba and Chioma. I can’t remember Chioma’s surname.
Every girl remembers her first kiss, do you remember yours?
I don’t remember, I wouldn’t even want to remember.
Who was your first crush?
I wouldn’t call it a ‘crush.’ But then, I idolised Mariam Makeba, Tina Turner and Diana Ross.

It was in 2001. It was the AMEN awards for the Best Fresh Face and the Best Female Vocalist.
