During an interview on Arise TV in July, she said she was inspired by the American neurosurgeon, Dr Ben Carson, and founder of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi.
The Anambra native said, “Despite his background, Dr Ben Carson has achieved so much. I think I’ve read all his books. When I read those books, I felt so inspired.
“Pastor Kumuyi is my greatest role model. He’s the proprietor of my school and we have Deeper Life services in my school.
“Any time he comes up on stage to preach, I’m always awed by how he carries himself and isn’t afraid to say what needs to be said.
“I’ve not met him personally, but I will really like to.”
