She has a BA and MA in international relations and also worked as a mental health nurse in London, UK, for nearly twenty-five years. She describes herself as a practicing Christian. Her Christian belief can be felt throughout the stories she tells through Emeka, who is the central figure in her book.
She has an interest in improving the lot of the downtrodden, both in her work as a nurse as well as in her writing. She advocates for marginalized people and will speak up for the voiceless whenever the need arose.
Her book, The Unripe Fruit, focuses on social issues and taboos among the Igbo people of Eastern Nigeria. She lived with her paternal grandmother during school holidays while she attended secondary school in Igboland. She witnessed some of the issues she describes in her book.
She was born in Jos, in the northern part of Nigeria, but she attended a secondary school in the eastern part of Nigeria during her teenage years.lihat lebih sedikit
