“Well well you know am not one to censor anything… And now I get an amazing chance to talk it as it is. No sugar coating… It’s gonna be sizzling hot… See you on Monday ,” she wrote in a post on Instagram.

Okwara has also previously worked at Nation Media Group as a radio talk show producer and later joined NTV where she started the NTV This Morning Show. He later moved to KTN.
