Niniola said,

“Preparation meets opportunity, “To be honest. It just happened. she added.

“It’s the grace of God but as they say, when hard work and preparation meets opportunity, it just happens. After Project Fame, I just wanted to prove myself. I knew I could sing but I just wanted more. I loved to dance and wanted to incorporate these two things.

“I didn’t know anybody in the industry. So, I went online in search for the best producer in Nigeria. This was in 2013. Sarz’s name kept coming up. I reached out to him and he requested that I give him a hit song. I dropped “Ibadi” and that’s how it happened.

“One song changed my life. I just did the song (Maradona) and knew that, like every other ones, it was good. But when we dropped it, it went boom. People and artistes from South Africa started reaching out to me.”

Meanwhile, the singer has announced that she has provided an additional 30 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination forms for 30 lucky students.

The singer said a lot of people had reached out to her soliciting help after the first 30 names were released.
