Recently, Goje sat with Chinazor Ibe, Head, Internal Audit, Transcorp, to find out more about the philosophy behind her drive.
- What inspires you?
Family, serenity, faith. I believe that there is no challenge that has not been experienced / overcome by someone else.
- How do you unwind?
Relaxing at home, watching TV, assisting my children with their projects, and singing to myself.
- Best book read?
I am not a fan of books particularly voluminous ones so I will settle for The Concubine by Elechi Amadi.
- Best film watched?
On the foreign scene, I think Face/Off still does it for me. On the local scene, I love Violated and Mr. & Mrs. (more recent). I also love the Ola-Adaeze series, an Igbo movie which had no single English word included. I was really impressed.
- Favorite football club or any other sport that strikes your fancy?
Football??? Naaahhhh!!!! Wrong question. However, I’ll go with my husband’s, Manchester United.
- Most Embarrassing moment ever experienced
I cannot think of any now.
- Happiest moment ever experienced
My wedding and the birth of my first child. Not quite sure which is the “happiest”.
- What is family to you?
Everything. I can’t trade them for anything in the world. I cherish the time spent with them, both nuclear and extended. The memories are second to none….
- Turn on’s?
Good character, humility, honesty, courtesy.
- Turn off’s?
Greed, pride, indecency, pretence, arrogance, oppression.
Chinazor, you got to start loving football. But wait, where is that Igbo movie without a single English word? I must see the movie. I hope there are plenty ilu, akpalaokwu, etc. etc.
