    She deserve even more than this because apart from activism she is a philanthropist, a concerned Nigerian who is always ready and willing to go an extra mile just to ensure fairness to all.
    She is a preacher a teacher and a servant may the good Lord uphold you on the wings of his grace that you shall soar higher and fulfill your destiny ride on pastor we are proud of you.
