Growing up, being watched from the outside... it's kind of very taxing and maybe I should just do some kind of manual labor-it might be more relaxing. But I can't, it's not in my nature.

Becoming a mother has made all the difference in terms of learning to take more responsibility for myself and my life. Parenthood changed the way I do everything.

Every job I do, I feel like it is an amazing opportunity. I try to throw myself into every role with everything I have.

The biggest thing for me is wanting my kids to grow up safely and have happy lives. To me, that's enough.

I don't believe in the transformation myth, where if you have more success, life changes for you.

City farming is not only possible, it is the very definition of the kind of meaningful, sustainable innovation we will need to meet the grand challenges of the 21st century: climate change; population growth; ageing population; urbanization; rising demand for energy, food and water; poverty; and access to healthcare.

Imagine how different those classrooms could be if hundreds of Nigeria's most talented recent graduates and professionals channeled their energy not only into the country's banks, but into making education in the country a force for transformation.

My participation in the presidential elections can truly be a step on the path towards the transformation that our country needs so much.
