You said you are a student. How are you going to juggle your academics with the demands of your crown?
Nothing good comes easy. I started pageantry a while ago and I’ve been managing well so far. I’m very lucky that i have come to the finals of the competition, so I guess I have more time to focus on this properly.

How and when did you decide to go into pageantry?
I’ve always loved the pageant world right from when I was little and I am the kind of person that always likes my voice to count and I strongly believe that this is a wonderful platform for me to do just that. To tell you the truth, it is amazing; it is already opening me up to the world. I am already making a difference, which is what I’ve always been about right from when I was young. I am the kind of person that likes to make a difference, I want people to be able to say, “Gloria did this for me”. I want to make a positive change in Anambra and Nigeria, and with this platform, I believe I can achieve that. That is what I am here to do, to make a difference. I want to better people’s lives, I want to create a positive impact with anyone I meet. I want the world to know that Nigerians are good people and are much more than what other people say we are.

How do you intend going about making this difference?
I intend to start off with my pet project if i win which heavily involves the conversion of biological wastes to electricity, which as we know is a major problem in Nigeria. I intend to also empower women by putting them in the forefront because women interact more with the environment. Truthfully, the earth doesn’t need us but we need the earth and it is time we protect her.

In your opinion, do you think more can still be done for Nigerian women in terms of careers and social responsibilities?
I believe we are not maximizing our potentials to the fullest and it is time for women to stand up, grab the bull by the horn and speak for ourselves, get what is rightfully ours. The society needs to do better for us; we need to do better by ourselves and for ourselves because nobody is going to do that for us at the end of the day. We need to take more control of our lives, our careers and our selves.
