NCB: Can we meet you? FYB: My name is Wonderful Ayobami Opemipo. I am a final year student in the Department of English Language, faculty of Arts, OAU. I hail from Oyo State and the first of three children. I’ll consider myself as a very hard working lady. I manage some businesses like Wondy’s bag, baking, place professional calls, running voice over and also a writer. NCB: You hail from Oyo State which means you are a Yoruba lady but we barely hear you speak Yoruba. How come? FYB: We moved to Kogi State when I was seven and they were mostly Hausa speakers there. We hardly relate with people and my parents communicate with us using English Language. I can barely speak Yoruba but I understand it well. NCB: How do you cope being the first child?

It is like an a...
