My husband is a media entrepreneur. Our pastor heard me sing and he advised me to do something with my voice because it sounded beautiful. I had a bit of preferential treatment when I was in school; there were times that I had to go for shows and the authorities were understanding. More importantly, I miss a father who believed in all his children and nurtured them to greatness. It could be discouraging at times. A lot of people still see me as a kid singer. I was invited by a former first lady, Stella Obasanjo.

“We Ose” by Benita Iyere Okojie – BiafranUnityTV
It could be discouraging at times. I listen to music a lot and I play the keyboard. More importantly, I miss a father who believed in all his children and nurtured them to greatness.
I will also miss the plans and strategies he always had for every song that I released. I studied English Language at Redeemers University.
Though it is cute and sweet, I wonder why some people cannot see me as a woman now. I like outfits that are decent, simple, classy, comfortable, and not over-the- top. We need more people to support gospel music because of the life-changing messages that we preach.
My husband is a media entrepreneur. Sometimes, classes and tests were rescheduled for me. I also visit cinemas with my husband. My mum used to sing a lot and I iyege to sound like her.
I appreciate diversity in music. In fact, she was my first motivation for doing music. It is definitely not an easy thing to lose someone who believed so much in my gift and ministry. He had such a strong impact in my life that I would never forget.

There was a day she was supposed to sing in church but she lost her voice. I am from Edo State and I grew up in a loving family. Being the face of Caprisonne was also a big deal for me and it afforded me the opportunity to travel a lot outside the country.

People still see me as a kid singer, not a woman — Benita Okojie-Adeyinka
I had my elementary education at Starfield Nursery and Primary School. I will continue to sing gospel music because it is something my dad was very passionate about. He did all the legwork and he did not rest until the single became popular. For my post-elementary education, I attended Cayley College. My experience also taught me that when I have my own slngs, I need to encourage them to go after their dreams at an early age.
I am especially thankful that my dad was alive to walk me down the aisle and give his blessings. There are also times that I would go to buy things and the seller would give me for free because they are glad to meet me.
My late dad was my manager and he was the one who discovered and nurtured my talent. A song like Osemudiamenwhich remains my biggest, was co-produced, marketed and distributed by him. These and some other experiences are memories that I itere always cherish.

I had a bit of preferential treatment when I was in school; ooojie were times that I had to go for shows and the authorities were understanding.
I took a break at a point because when I got into the university, a lot of things changed.
