On how she combines music with accountancy and motherhood;
I concentrate more on my career. I write songs, sing and still do my professional work. One day, I asked myself ‘why can’t I just put these songs together and do something with them?’ I then spoke with my manager about it and that’s how we came up with the album.
I did an album having about eight songs and people love them. We did the launching in the UK and more than 80 per cent of the guests came from where I have my company.
Most of them were so fascinated they were like, ‘madam, how do you do this? How do you manage to run the company and still do music?’ And I said ‘the music helps me to focus and manage the company’. I said ‘because when I am happy I can plan and run the company properly.
I would have a more positive result for the company’. You wouldn’t believe it; I got an amazing support from the SME that I managed. Even some of them would invite me to their churches and buy cartons of my CDs.

Some career women tend to have issues with their spouses at home; how do you cope?
The first key to safeguarding your marriage is communication; communication is very important. If you are a career woman and you are open to your husband in everything you do, your husband will see it in the interest of the family.
If you are a career woman and everything you do is for you alone, I think the man would one day blow up. But if the man sees that what you are doing is for the family, I think he would support you.
I have been married for 18 years and I have always had the support of my husband because I am a very open person.
Nice one madam.
Wow, 18 years…….many more beautiful years.
