There is no challenge that has not been overcome by someone else – Chinazor Ibe

By Goje Okamgba

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.
