She took up wrestling in 2004. "My first competition was the 2004 National Sports Festival in Abuja. Though I joined wrestling two months earlier, I won all my trials in Ondo State before going for the festival and I finished fourth. It was a great experience for me and that was where my coach started encouraging me. My first medal was at the 2006 National Open Championship in Ebonyi." (thenationonlineng.net, 09 Apr 2021)

"I was playing handball before I was introduced to wrestling. I started wrestling while I was in secondary school because I enjoyed fighting while I was much younger but I was more interested in handball. I used to go for handball training at the stadium. But on that day, I went to the wrestling coach and said that I wanted to join his team. The coach told me to sit and watch the wrestlers. After watching for a while, he told me to fight with one of the girls in his team. I did well and he was pleased with me and that was how I took special interest in it. I noticed that handball is a team sport and it will be difficult to make it as an individual but I found wrestling to be a sport where I can be myself and be independent."

Her father. "My other family members were not in support of me going into the sport except my father that encouraged me. He couldn't do sports because his own parents discouraged him and maybe I will be the one to take it up. He convinced my mum not to worry and that was how my mum started allowing me as I spent most of my time with her." (thenationonlineng.net, 09 Apr 2021)
