I can’t really point to a reason behind my success. It’s Just God and His grace on me. Besides, I know I’m pretty and down to earth; I believe I have all what it takes to make Nigeria proud. Don’t forget I also won the crown as Miss Brighter Future in 2012.”
Speaking on her pet project, Emeasoba continued: “I want to tackle breast cancer during my reign. Lots of our mothers keep dying as a result of cancer. Our mothers should stay alive for us. This is one of the reasons I’ve decided to take up breast cancer campaign as my pet project.”
