Excerpts from the interview 

Growing up. 
Growing up was tough, I had to start fending for myself at the age of 14. I worked at Salam Chicken, Bompai Road, Kano.
My salary was #3800 . We were however, contented because our mother showered us with love and affection. I went to a lot of schools; primary and secondary schools in Kano, Kaduna, Lagos and Kogi States but managed to finish at Army Day Secondary School, Bukavu Barracks, Kano. I then proceeded to Bayero University, Kano (BUK) where I studied Sociology. I also did my Masters there.

Reaction to negative press. 
I don't entertain such gossips but they get to write and sell papers. I cry for a while, powder my face then try to remain my positive self.

Definition of style. 
Style to me is being comfortable in anything you wear, whether it is a rag, couture or African attire. It also means standing out from the crowd. I love being unpredictable, spontaneous. So, I just drag the first thing I see and off I go, cookie ain't I? I have never followed fashion trend, in fact, I think fashion police are looking for me because I break rules (laughs). Really, I define my style

Beauty regimen. 
Oh! I am a Clarins lover, I love using water and Cocoa Butter in the morning and Clarins balm at night. I wash my face with water before anything and I shower three times daily. I have never done facials before but manicure and pedicure are a must for me. I love massage a lot, in fact, I over do it. Indian masseurs are the best and they are very affordable.

Choice of accessories. 
I love accessories a lot, I tend to go overboad when it comes to accessories. I indulge a lot in it, so I will give myself an "A" in accessories. When it comes to jewellery, I go for all; gold, silver, costume jewellery and beads. I can't go out without jewellery and that is why I buy them a lot. Same goes for rings and watches, I don't wear ear rings when I am not shooting or going for an event.

Favourite designers. 
For perfumes, I like Marc Jacobs, Victor and Rolf, Lovely by SJP, Tommy Girl by Tommy Hilfiger.
When it comes to clothes, I love high streets like H and M, Topshop, Baby Phat and Dereons. I also like coutures and my favourites are; Vivian Westwood, Chanel, Elle Saab, Zuhair Murad, Maqueen, and LV. My favourite designers for shoes and bags are Next, Chanel, Shoe Dazzle, Loubotins and Aldo.

Favourite colours. 
Purple, pink, green, blue, rainbow patches and all bright colours. I am the president of colours. I block all.

Fashion icons. 
Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Koutney Kadashian, Genevieve Nnaji, Rita Dominic, and Nike Oshinowo.

Most expensive item in my wardrobe. 
It is a Cerruti studded limited edition wrist watch given to me by my guy. Can't say the amount, but everybody knows that diamond is expensive.

Opinion on toning. 
If your skin is dirty clean it, but only if it is dirty! I love natural colours.

On cosmetic surgery. 
I can never do it. God created us for a reason, and I believe it is important for one to age gracefully.

What I will like to change about myself. 
My dislike for high heels. I love to wear it because I am expected to. I buy them but only wear them when going for shoot or events. So sad.

Tattoo or piercing. 
Tattoo because I love it. My fans know where it is because it is not hidden. Diet or exercise.
I eat right and I do diet but I don't do it as if my life depends on it because I love food. I also run or jog.

Opinion on provocative dressing. 
I used to dress provocatively but now am trying to be a role model, so, I now dress stylishly but responsibly and not to impress anyone.

What I won't be caught dead wearing. 
See throughs and belly hanging clothes or clothes that set the boobs loose.

My hair and nails. 
I love natural looking nails but painted with bold colours like yellow, pink and so on. For hair, I use lace wig or other wigs and I do didi when I am not working .

Special treat. 
When I want to pamper myself I sleep. For relaxation, I read.

Secret of beauty. 
No secret because I don't fuss over myself, so, I guess it is God.
Asset. 
My eyes, it talks. It is definitely my eyes because it is not common.

On matrimony. 
Yes, I am in love, but it is my decision not to get married yet, especially when those who are in it are running out of it.
