“My background was very rough. I was born in Accra, Ghana over 60 years ago. Our parents brought us (their children) from Ghana to Nigeria in 1967 to a town where women weren’t allowed to go to school. We spent almost 2 years in this particular town before our parents brought us to Lagos. I started my primary school all over again at Eleja Primary School Itire, Mushin, Lagos. I had my secondary school at Holy Saviour’s College, Isolo, Lagos. I trained myself and furthered my education at Olabisi Onabanjo University and earned a certificate in Accounting. I also attended the Redeemed Bible College and acquired further knowledge in the School of Discipleship. I thank God for where I am today,” the lovely woman of God shared with Christian Benefits magazine.
