Nonye Okonkwo is friendly and easy to talk to, she shares some interesting things about herself with Elora’s Blog

What’s the most interesting thing about you?
I am one of those people who say things the way they are. I am not much of a people pleaser, but at the same time I am sensitive to people’s feelings and try not to come off too strict or blunt.I can not tell a good lie to save myself (Lol) . I have this gusto to life, and believe that it’s only A matter of TIME and I will get to where I plan to be.

What was your new year resolution?
(Smiles)well, I have a couple of resolutions that I would rather not make known to the public. But some of my resolutions are, Be happy, be Thankful, Learn to really live life, Show Love and have a better relationship with God.

What makes life interesting for you?
Love… love has a way of changing your perception of things. When you are Inlove with yourself or another person, it makes things, situations and everything appear colorful. I tend to look better, feel better and do better when I am all loved up. When it’s LOVE, trust me, it gets really really interesting.

How will you rate year 2017?

2017 was a year that could have broken me and my family. I lost my younger sister after a brief illness. I cried so much because that seemed to be the only way I could lessen the pain in my heart. I stopped doing my business because In my heart I was asking myself, is there really a need for it? We will all die! So why stress urself to accumulate wealth Nd status, if it won’t guarantee you everlasting life? But before the year ended. I ended a relationship in the beginning of the year too, which left me emotionally drained. I thank God, because I know 2017 is the worst it can ever be. Affliction shall never rise a second time

What’s the happiest year of your life, what happened that year?
My happiest years are yet to come, LOL… but if I am to go back Nd reminisce, I would say the late 90’s towards 2000 were my best. Because I was young and free and void of any worries or saddled with the problems of being a grown up. I want my childhood back 🤣🤣

If you’ve to change something that occured in your life, what would that be?
I would so love to bring my baby sister back. Atleast bring her back to have the opportunity to eat cold stone ice cream, and probably take her to Korea to meet her forever crush Gujunpio or whatever he is called in those Korean movies. I would love to bring her back and tell her how much we all love her.

Have you ever impacted someone’s life, how did you do it?
I believe I have and I hope to continue impacting more in people’s lives. I remember when I took a certain life altering decision in my mid twenties and stuck to it, a family frend called me 5 years later to tell me how that decision and move I took forced him to leave his own comfort zone. And if someone that is older than I am could tell me how much of a challenge and impact I made in his life, then I feel I haven’t done badly at all. And so goes to other people who have come to me to thank me for making a positive impact in their lives one way or the other that I am not even aware of.

Who inspires you most in life?
Jesus, in whatever I do, I try to think, what would Jesus have done. Truth is I am not even a religious person, but I am a Christain who believes in God. And for me to make it farther in this world I will need to look up to someone. I may not preach Jesus here and there, but I try to do things I know would make him proud of me. I have a few people I would have chosen as my source of inspiration, but truth is, at the end of it all, I want to be more like Jesus

If your wish could come true now, what will you wish for?
(Hahahahahahahaha) if I told you that I would have to kill you. Oh my God! Lol. My dear, if wishes were horses, beggars will ride. So let’s not dwell on this one.

Have you ever had a near death experience, how did it happen?
Oh yes! That was in my final year in the university. I and my frend’s attended my home girls birthday picnic at a lake somewhere in imo state and on our way back we had an accident where our tires busted and the driver not being so experienced marched on the break and we went skidding off the road into a very thick bush.

I saw my life flash before my eyes and I was in shock after we came out from the mangled vehicle. The first thing I did immediately I got down from the car was to check if I am still flesh and blood or I have turned to a ghost like our home videos. Lol. It was a crazy experience, but I thank God the story was different.
