5. What's your Greatest challenge in the modeling industry?
Reply: My greatest challenge has always been homosexuals. People telling you have to do this before you get a particular job. Trust me, it's a very big challenge, people don't get to play fair, they feel it's a nothing goes for nothing world, where you have to get down to win a contest or probably get a modeling Job.
6: Do you ever feel Intimidated amongst other male models? Especially the more masculine models?
Reply: No, I basically build myself up always, mostly by watching Fashion shows on TV. I have never felt intimidated at any point.
7. What are your current achievements through modeling?
Reply: Well, my greatest achievement are the products I have, in terms of people who I have trained, people I've worked on, these are my greatest achievements. I also have a company of my own, it's an entertainment company tho but i won't say much on it for now.

9. Did This career affect your studies? If yes, then how did you pull through?
Reply: Not all...I found a way to balance studies and my career. Many people were actually hoping to hear bad news about my studies, so i knew i had to work really hard to disappoint them all.
10. Would you advise any person to go into modeling? From your experience...
Reply: Sincerely, modeling is great but i'l urge whoever wants to go into modeling to first of all have self growth, self promotion, to find a way to give themselves the platform they need to start the career.
11. Who's your favorite male model?
Reply: Firstly it's Bryan Okwara - because he's a vasatile model. He's one person that has kept his modeling career going even while venturing into other areas of the entertainment industry. Secondly, it's Douglas Omasigho he does only runway tho unlike Bryan who is into all categories of modeling. They are both my icons.
12. What advice do you have for models looking up to you?
Reply: Well my advice to young models is for them to strive to be whoever they want to be. The aim shouldn't be "to become like me" but rather to be themselves.
So, what are your social media handles?
