Did you meet your husband in Ireland?<br />
I met him in Mushin Olosa in 1986. He was living at Palm Avenue. We<br />
courted for seven years before we got married in 1995. I moved to<br />
Republic of Ireland in 2002.<br />
What were the challenges of staging this event in Nigeria?<br />
This is my first time of doing this in Nigeria. Back in Ireland, there is this<br />
attitude of giving to charity which is unlike what obtains in Nigeria. Here,<br />
people would tell you that they are not United Nations, meaning that they<br />
can’t do anything free. I tell people it’s more blessed to give than to receive.<br />
Everyone is saying This is Change. As I am telling you, there’s no support<br />
from anywhere, other than few friends. Even at that, we are still trying to<br />
help other NGO’s like DRASA (Dr. Stella Adadevoh) foundation.<br />
What is style for you?<br />
I’m not very expensive but I’m very picky. It has to be simple, elegant, and<br />
unique. As I’m coming back to Nigeria the idea of Ankara comes in. I like<br />
being colourful and I don’t follow trends. I do my own thing.<br />
You are a pastor’s wife, how has it been?<br />
Yes. my husband is a Pastor in Redeemed Christian Church of God in Drogheda, Republic of Ireland. His name is Kayode Popoola. I’m<br />
an ordained pastor myself. Pastors are the angels but the pastors wives are the devils some people think. But it depends on the<br />
congregation. In our Parish, RCCG, Seat of Mercy in Republic of Ireland. I enjoy being a pastor's wife.<br />
