Ifeoma Nnubia’s kind of Man

Ifeoma Nnubia is one lady who knows and does the right application at the right time. That obviously gave her the gracious look.

Ifeoma Nnubia hails from Ozoubulu in Anambra State and studied Public Adminstration, Management Sciences at the Lagos State University (LASU). She spoke with KATE HALIM of The Sun about her private life, admiration forthe late legal icon, Chief Gani Fawehinmi, style and marriage.

Are you married?

I am not, yes, I intend to get married someday. Every woman wants a man who will share her high and low moments with her. I personally will love and respect a man who fears God and sees himself as a human being who is bound to make mistakes, correct them and move on without dwelling on it.

Pressure

Not at all. Even in the Bible there is time for everythng. God has the master plan. I might think I am ready now, but in God’s diary, He knows if I am ready or not. He makes all things beautiful at His time.

Love for Gani Fawehinmi

I had always wanted to be a lawyer. I used to admire them a lot as a child. Again, I love to stand for justice at all times and fight for people who are oppressed. Gani Fawehinmi was and will remain my mentor. If I was a lawyer, I would have been a human rights activist. I could not go in for Law because I had problem with my literature in my WAEC. Though I have have plans of getting a Master’s degree in Law somday.

I also love to be a consultant. My job as apersonal assistant requires my candid opinion on issues which I give with so much satisfaction. I do not intend to stop at this level. I will further my education because I want to be a special adviser to someone in governmet. I think that will be a way of contributing my own quota.

Advice to youths

Life itself is a challenge and sometimes tough. Gone are the days when women are proud to call themselves housewives. Over time I have to work and earn an honest living.
I do not like women who wallow in self pity and living at the mercy of others because their partner died or can no longer play active financial roles in their lives. Life should not be like that. God created us all with hands and legs, wonderful brains to make somathing out of nothing. There is absolutely no reason why women should not be proactive. Whatever support we get from our men we should thank God for that.

The path of success is never tough, we keep digging untill we find gold. Let us put hope and faith in all we do. Be focused and the result will definitely come.

Growing up

I grew up in the East, Enugu precisely. I attended Queen’s School, Enugu, where I spent the better part of my childhood days. Growing up was fun, I was in boarding school, but a lot of time, I went over to spend time with my cousins. It was always a full house.

How do you maintain your body?

I go to the gym once in a while because my working hours are tough. Sometimes I go on light diets, but mostly I watch what I eat as most members of my family are on the plump side.

Favourable fashion piece

Every woman loves fashionable items. You might not have all or have every possible piece. Some prefer clothes, some shoes and handbags. I personally love to look good, and smell good at all times. So my fashion piece will be nicely fitted clothes and nice smelling perfumes.

Present work

I work as personal assistant and secretary to the managing director of BJAY’s hotel. Got the job when a friend told me there was vacancy at the hotel. I applied and got the job.

Assisting rural women

Rural women have diverse problems. Some need financial empowerment, some need guidance, some need someone who can talk to someone who can release something for them. Every empowerment does not entail money. Even some just need a little push while mere teaching can go a long way to see some through.

So it all depends on what that rural woman needs at that point in time. If I come across anyone I can assist in anyway, I will be glad and willing to do it immediately. Putting smile on the face of someone who is in dare need of help is one thing I live for. I hate it when someone I am honest with turns back and stabs me in the back or decides to be dishonest with me. I also hate to put my best in pursuit of something good and get bad and unfavourable result.
