When asked about her experience so far, she said:

It has been awesome; there is nothing like doing what you have passion for, it is like living your dream.
Even before I started doing sport shows, I was casting major news bulletins, but I was not happy doing it because I knew I wanted to do purely sports.
I later made my intention known to all and I was given the chance to do what I have passion for.
I remember missing my English paper at NECO because I wanted to watch a game.
Though this was because I knew I already had English before then at West African Senior School Certificate Examination. So, sport is just me and my life, I am very happy doing it now.^[1]
