Stage Voice: Good morning Gloria 

How are you doing?

Gloria: I'm doing good, thank you

Stage Voice: It’s a pleasure to have you here

Stage Voice: Can you please introduce yourself?

Gloria: Pleasure is all mine

Gloria: My name is Gloria Audu, a student of the Department of Dramatic Arts, OAU

Stage Voice: Audu ?

That’s not a very common name 

What state are you from ?

Gloria: I'm from Kogi state

Stage Voice: Well now I can say I have met someone from Kogi state in my life. Because na like only Igbo and Yoruba people Dey ife

Stage Voice: So Gloria , can you tell us a bit about your business ?

Gloria: Ok, my Brand's name is Kremaze. I sell Tigernut milk of different flavors and fruit juice.

Stage Voice: So if I want apple flavored tiger nut I can get it?

Gloria: No, I haven't tried that before.

Gloria: There are others like pawpaw, vanilla, chocolate e.t.c

Stage Voice: That’s good

Stage Voice: I think I want the apple flavor though

Gloria: I'll let you know when it has been tried and tested

Stage Voice: I’ll check back

Stage Voice: So how did you come up with the idea of making tiger nut. Is it a skill you have always had or you just woke up one day and decided to learn?

Gloria: I got the idea from friends of mine seeing I like anything that deals with food and drinks, and I then decided to learn.

Stage Voice: Friends that inspire

Stage Voice: You said you are from Kogi state but I have conversed with you before and your Yoruba is good

Gloria: Yes.

Stage Voice: Did you learn from your time in ife or you knew it before?

Gloria: My state of origin is Kogi State and I'm from the Igala tribe. But I was born and brought up in Ibadan.

Gloria: I only listened to people speak Yoruba and try to speak as well.

Stage Voice: Well that actually explains a lot

Stage Voice: Back to your business 

There must surely be ups and downs 

Taste testing?

Dealing with costumers

Gloria: Yes, a lot of ups and downs.

Even though I get sales there are still issues.

For example, our country and increasing prices on same products. Electricity issues spoils production and many other things.

Stage Voice: Inflation of price is an issue on its own

Stage Voice: Can you share any experience you have had with a customer ?

Gloria: Well, there was a particular costumer who bought a bottle of tigernut milk from me. She told me she has never tried tigernut milk before and when I tried explaining what tigernut is and she was just looking at me confused. But she bought from me just for first experience and she gave a good review. That gave me this idea that only few people know what tigernut/tigernut milk is.

Stage Voice: We love a good review 😍

Stage Voice: So Gloria 

Can you say this business helped improved your financial capabilities to an extent?? ‎

Gloria: In a way, it did

Stage Voice: I have another question? ‎<This message was edited>

Gloria: Do I have the answer? 😏

Stage Voice: You remember in secondary school

Teacher or Lawyer which is more important?

I’m posing the question to you

Gloria: Teacher

Stage Voice: Can you give more insight to your response?

Gloria: Without a teacher, how did the lawyer get to be?

No one learns/grows without being taught. 

Experience teaches

Books teach

And then humans teach.

Stage Voice: Solid point

Stage Voice: Thank you for sharing your opinion

Stage Voice: Since teacher won that round 

Next question

Stage Voice: Lawyer or Doctor ?

Gloria: Doctor

Stage Voice: You must have something against lawyers😂

Gloria: I do not 😂

Stage Voice: Last question for today

Stage Voice: Doctors or Teachers ?

Gloria: Teachers

Stage Voice: On what basis?

Gloria: A teacher taught the doctor before he became one and a doctor also teaches as well.

Stage Voice: Does the teacher not need a doctor to maintain a good health and be able to live a good life?

Gloria: Does the doctor not need a teacher to be able to perform his duties?

Gloria: A doctor that has never been taught what and how will kill someone

Stage Voice: Small question you are already changing it for me 🌚

Gloria: Never in my dreams

Stage Voice: You can argue ooooo

Gloria: I was aspiring not to be a lawyer 😂😂

Stage Voice: Well thank you very much for your time Gloria 

It was a pleasure having you here

Gloria: Thank you and the pleasure is all mine

Stage Voice : What was your best part of the initiation process? Janet : The overnights 🥰🥰🥰. For our set, overnight rehearsals weren't allowed but the coordinators had to do it secretly just for us to catch up on things and because of that the coordinators were kinda nice and very playful during this overnight rehearsals that we do. Although it was draining then, we use to look tattered and stressed, most of us even lost a lot of weight and we were not even eating well but the joy and gladness was there. Having rehearsals overnight was my best part of the initiation process because it es...
