Uche Nwayiocha

3 words that best describe me... Hardworking, Joyful, Beautiful

If I wasn’t working at the radio station, I’d be... in the field of Diplomacy and International Relations or a full time Gospel Singer.

My celebrity crush… I don’t have that for one person. I kinda have short-lived crush on any who’s got deep passion for their craft, dynamically unique and projects sustainable value. 

I have a fear of... crowd, but I fight it by showing up at gatherings, and often hosting some.

If I could have dinner with one person... it would be Oprah Winfrey or Viola Davis. But E geh why! 

I bet you didn’t know I could... dance to save myself, hahahahaha. Also, that I never forget whatever I see, whether by reading or as a witness to an event. That’s called ‘photographic memory’ right? Na you sabi o. Smiles.

My favorite movie is: Hahahaha, I don’t have one fav unfortunately. I have a list on my ‘best watch’ ever. They are The War Room, The Forge, Seven Doors, Straw and Broken Hallelujah 

My very first job was... as a Sales Secretary.

The song that I can listen to on repeat and never get tired of... is Jesu Loba, and guess what? I sang it. Hahahahaha.
