Talking about my institution, a lot of things has improved…infrastructure wise Uniport is good…credibility wise: you could write exams and pass and if you pass you pass… am not saying malpractice was totally evicted, but it has reduced considerably. Cultism also level down, apart from the time when they was a cult clash during my year one. Uniport is an institution to be.   

Schng: What programme did you pursue at Institution?

Schng: Who is your life most influential person in school, home and   otherwise? 

Fifi: In school, there are some people that was very pivotal to me during my school days, especially in my class. There are some guys I should to look up to help with school work, especially people like; Oboliya, Chinika, Felaha, Kingsley Thompson and many others. Aha! My mother is a teacher, and you know when you have such person around you but be serious with books. She equally added to my success in school. And above all God.

Schng: What makes you stand out among your peers in School?

Schng: Were you awarded a scholarship doing your stay at school?

Fifi: Yes, I was awarded the Scholarship Program under the Rivers State Sustainable Development Agency (RSSDA) from my year 2 to 4. The scholarship scheme has really help a lot to me and my parents. It has reduced our financial burden for me in school. It actually added extra money to me.

There are many students in school today, who are not financially buoyant and who are not currently awarded any kind of scholarship in school today, those who cannot foot their bills in schools.

Schng: What do you have to say to that and to them?

Fifi: I believe they should find out what they can do with their hands, business that will not distort their academic performance, like they should pick up baking, shoe making, bag making, hair dressing, being a made-up artist… this are services that will sell more on campus and you could make money out from it. They can also send airtime(recharges). And also they can friendly with people who have books they need to read, that will give them easily get access to their books.

Schng: Moving to the big one FIFI HOUSE, can you tell us how it all started?

Fifi: The Food House actually started after NYSC program….no it was during the service days, I was just to myself, I use to think about food a lot, with imagination of what I can use it to do, and I was far away from home,... I will just hang around my friends sometimes, we will just cook and just stay together eat happily. So when I came back from the NYSC programme, a vacuum was created at home, our cook was sacked and I later fill in the space for a while, then I just started cooking, with MSc in view. I just started cooking and cooking and people start telling me; like my friends, Ifeoma and Nene that I could really charge for this, and I was like; all my mind and plan was to go to aboard… you know... so I wasn’t thinking about it that way, I was away looking at the limitations. But I was actually doing some small small Jobs; like party’s cook, barbecue, baby dedications that people requested me into helping them, most time it was for free or no cost. But at the end of last year, ushering this year I was looking at it closely into making it big, here I am today.

Schng: How do you see FIFI FOOD HOUSE in 5 years from now?
