She explained that while privilege and nepotism are often used interchangeably, they are not the same. According to her, privilege gives a person access to better opportunities and resources, while nepotism involves gaining advantages through family connections and influence.
The daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola said she has no intention of denying the reality of her background, stressing that honesty is better than pretending those advantages do not exist.
