What was growing up like for you?

My growing up was normal because I don't have hairs this much till I was about 22 or 23. My mummy is a doctor, my dad worked in a medical company.

Could you tell us what prompted the growth of the hairs on your body?

The hairs started coming out at a point when I reached 22 or 23. It is in our family; it is natural in my mummy's side. Once you are growing and maturing it will be coming out gradually.

At what point did you discover you were different? How did other kids feel being around you?

Some people around me saw it and they were amazed. Some liked it while some wanted me to remove it. In all, it was my choice to know how to manage it.

Okafor is proud and stands tall despite all.

Did you at any point in time consider removing it?

I did but it is not easy. I went for waxing, it inconvenienced me. Some say I should go abroad for surgery. It is natural; the only thing I do is if it grows too much I will reduce it with scissors. That way it will not inconvenience me.

Are you in a relationship? If yes, tell us briefly about it, if no state why.

I used to be but we broke up, I am trusting God for a true life partner who will give me peace of mind. I don't disclose or discuss my private life on internet. We broke up and I am praying and trusting God for a true life partner.

Are you doing any business at the moment?

I do many things like showbiz, I go for shows, interviews and adverts, I also buy and sell women accessories.

Speaking of challenges, can you tell us some of the battles you have fought as an adult?

Human beings face one or two difficulties in life. It is how you resolve it that matters, nobody is a saint; like me, if I go out people will be staring at me - that way I left Lagos.

Lagos is over populated; if I go to the market or attend any event, people will gather and start taking picture. They will be staring at me while some want to know who I am.

Some men will come claiming to love but what they want is to know if am a man or a woman. Some girls also like to take pictures with me.

You guys should be proud of yourself whether you are short or disabled. Be proud and put it in good use, any where you are talented use it for good. God did not make mistake to create you. I am proud of myself because I am unique and special despite what people say.
