Kechi Okwuchi is not outstanding, we have to be realistic. She’s good, but not enough to win the talent show

This is one of the biggest problems of Nigerians, we don’t appreciate what we have until they are being celebrated outside the country. I’m sure this your comment would have been more positive if she won the game show.

For her to have attempted the competition with her status, she tried. She’s also a winner because she conquered fear and a lot of negative words and feelings about herself. I respect her for that, she’s my winner
