She is obsessed with yams (the cuisine of Nigeria mostly consists of food made from yams), much like how Italy is obsessed with pasta.

She is quite a charmer and is good at convincing people to do things by assuring it will benefit both of them. Ghana once commented on her negotiating skills saying “she can convince the ocean buy a cup of water”. She’s always laughing and making jokes and takes only a few things seriously.

Though she makes a good amount of money she is very bad at keeping it and will spend it almost as soon as she makes it.
