Sosoliso plane crash survivor
and singer, Kechi Okwuchi who is currently in the Semi-Finals of the
America’s Got Talent 2017 competition had an interactive session with
her followers on Instagram yesterday and one of the questions she was
asked was if she feels she would win the competition.
The 27-year-old singer says as much as she would like to win, she
thinks if she wins ,it would be a little unfair to the other great
talents on the show because she doesn’t want people to vote for her
based on her story. She, however, said she would just allow God’s plan
for her in the competition to follow through
“It would
be amazing to make it to top 10 but honestly if I make it that far, I
think that is probably where I might stop just because I feel there are
some people there who are good. There are a lot of singers and a lot of
us know how to sing. I am so grateful to get this far but I feel like if
I win it might be a little unfair because I don’t want people to vote
for me based on my story and how much they like me and feel they are
inspired by me. The main part of the show is the talent part and there
are such amazing people that have amazing talents and I feel some of
them may be more deserving. So, then again you never know, God’s plans
are not our plans and he can see further than we can so I don’t want to
go and say something that might counter what he has planned. Lets just
say what will happen will happen. Let it just be what God wants” she
said.
Kechi also relieved her memory about the air crash that changed her life forever
“I
remember bits and pieces. I don’t remember the impact of the plane
because that must have been when I blanked out or something. I remember
being on the plane and feeling like everything was fine and I was with
my friend who lived next door to me. I remember when the pilot made the
announcement that we would be landing like 20 minutes at the airport
that we would be heading to. I remember when the plane started really
getting crazy and the turbulence started getting like way too much. I
remember feeling this out of body experience. It looked like a movie. I
remember holding my friend’s hands and she was asking what we should do
like should we pray or something. Then there was this loud weird metal
sound and I woke up in the hospital five weeks later in South
Africa.There were 109 passengers on the plane and 60 of them were fellow
students from my school. I was in a boarding school. Two people
survived. Myself and the other lady that I did not know before the plane
crash” she said
