Her makeup and facial expression is always priceless. Not to mention her use of English. Chioma Okoli did slay her role effortlessly!

I just had to bring her here! Though, She treaded carefully while answering our questions; but i must say, she is quite a catch! Smart, Talented and Young!

I don't believe her age though: 22 or 23? No Way!! What do you think?
