This young beauty is a 200 level Medical student of the University of Lagos. After the event we spent some time chatting with her. Here's what she has to say:

I heard about the competition from a friend at the school cafe. I went to make some photocopies. At first, I was a bit uninterested. I just felt I should give it a try. In my mind, I was like...after all it's just 1k. So I asked her to help me register.

I have attended some competitions in the past, but I've never been required to stand on stage. This one was kinda a new experience. My major boost came after the online preliminaries. I did quite well, and I was like... maybe I can do this.

The study materials helped to improve my vocab and it was really easy to understand. I must confess I didn't really study ALL the words. Maybe I was just lucky to get questions from where I studied.

I'll be taking part in the 2019 edition Afterall I'm still eligible and the star prize is bigger this time.
