The world is a scene with different characters and characterizations. Some are born great. Some became great through dints of hard work and exposure. Few fit in both categories or more. Her Excellency, Princess Mrs. Nwanneka (renowned as Nwanne) Campo (nee Eze) is one of such great people.

Born in a Royal home at Ukehe, Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area of Enugu State, and married to a Spaniard Engineer, the showbiz guru and multi-talented award-winning ambassador of peace is one woman you would love to meet. She recently marked a golden jubilee anniversary of her sojourn on earth. OKECHUKWU ONUEGBU stumbled on the lady with Midas touch and entered a discourse with her. Read on!

Who is Princess Campo?

Her Excellency Chief Princess Mrs. Nwanne Campo was born 50 years ago to a Royal couple from Ukehe in Enugu State and Onitsha in Anambra State respectively. I was a miracle child, the 1st surviving child after my mum lost the previous 6 pregnancies. I was given so many names but till my secondary school days I was officially known as Peace Nwanneka Eze but I changed the order of my names before I went to University. I prefer to have my Igbo name as my first name instead of the English name because I love it and all it stands for. (NWANNEKAEGO which means having loved ones is supreme to money). I also changed my name because I wished with all my heart to marry a European and wanted my Igbo name to tell the world where I came from, Peace Campo wouldn't have been easily traced to Africa or Nigeria. I was very young but knew exactly what I wanted for myself. I am grateful to God that he granted me my husband (a Spanish Civil Engineer) who is the biggest and best gift from God, through him came my most precious treasures, our daughters.

Though I work as an English auxiliary teacher in Santander Spain, I am a showbiz guru, fashion designer, award-winning event planner, MC, Modelcoach, motivational speaker, actress, and event Hall designer but above all my strongest vocation is being a humanitarian so in whatever of my careers, I always care about the wellbeing and happiness of others. While the Actors guild of Nigeria existed in Spain, I was its Director of welfare. I think that is my major calling, caring for others and bringing happiness and hope to everyone. I am very passionate about sharing love, peace, and happiness to all. I respect everyone irrespective of their age, sex, race, or status but I have zero tolerance for rude/mannerless people.

May we know how you celebrated your 50th anniversary?

Though I always dreamt of throwing a big party to celebrate my 50th birthday but due to the coronavirus pandemic, I spent the day just with my husband and our 2 daughters. I decorated the sitting room with balloons, cooked, and had a great time with my family. I had calls all day from family, friends, and fans from all over the world. I received gifts sent to me from India, Nigeria, Netherlands, Germany, Australia, and Spain. I am very grateful to everyone that showed me love throughS birthday wishes, prayers, calls, or sent gifts to me. May God bless, reward, and honor each of them abundantly.

Is there anything special your birth brought into the family?

Yes, my birthday brought joy into my parent's home and also opened doors for the arrival of my siblings. I was told that I was the 1st surviving baby of my parents, my mum was said to have lost 6 babies/pregnancies before my birth. Though I was born very sickly, God saved me and blessed my parents with more children, we are all alive to date to God's glory.
