on her facebook page to announce she'll be representing
Nigeria at the Super Sireyna of Eat Bulaga competition, a
transgender pageant holding in the Philippines.
Ms Sahhara says if she wins, her legacy would be to
campaign for the acceptance of transgenders
"I will do all my best to teach people more about
transgender issues, who we are and where we come
from because there is this huge misconception around
the issues that surrounds transgender people. We are
not to be afraid of. We are not immoral. We are human
beings, we have blood running in our vein and we pray
you give us the chance and understanding and love
that you give your fellow human beings because we are
one of you" she said.
On who her role model is, she said
"I think my role model is my mum. My mum is a single
parent and she brought myself and my younger sister
up. She gave us the best education. My mum is very
intelligent and she always tells us to go back to school,
lets study, lets get all our degrees" she said
