I remember young Teni when I attended Apata Memorial High School. After returning from school, most of the girls at the dorm would go outside to wash their clothes and young Teni would hang by the stairs that led to the entrance of their house and also overlooking the girl’s dorm to say hello and wave. Seeing her in this video reminds me of her mother who was so loving to my brother and myself during our stay at the school. Not surprised that she is this talented. Keep the good work!
