1) You won the 2012 edition of the Mr Ideal Nigeria ,did you ever expect that will happen ?
Well,I must say "even though I believed I was a strong contender then,i really didn't expect to win. But I guess the Judges saw in me something unique and different from the others"
2) During your reign you won numerous awards including two dynamic youth awards, visited London , walked the big runways , magazine features. Infact one will say it was a very eventful year for you. What will you say was the highlight of your time as Mr Ideal Nigeria ?
Trust me when I say everything I did during my reign as the Ideal man was a highlight. But if I am to choose,It will be when I visited London for my Mr Earth project tour. Too bad I never went for the international pageant after all,but at least I enjoyed London.
3) At age 19 , You were did youngest winners ever crowned at Mr Ideal Nigeria. What did you find very challenging as Mr Ideal Nigeria ?
Basically,it was combining my school with my duties as an ideal Man. It wasn't very easy,i must say. But here I am today,God saw me through it all.
4) You were absent at you hand over ceremony , infact alot of people say you and Ayotunde Fabamwo, the CEO did not get on so well. So what really happened ?
As close as the teeth is to the tongue,they still clash once in a while. If you are close to someone and you have never had any disagreement with the person,then you are not close at all. Twitch and I had our disagreements which we later settled but that wasn't the reason I wasn't at my hand-over ceremony,it was because of school.
