Your are welcome, give me an insight on your background am sure people would like to know about that.
I am from Anambra state. I was born on 16th March, 1991 in Lagos state and am the first son of my parents.
A catwalk instructor, how did you come up with that?
I began instructing pageant contestants when I was in diploma, people usually come to me to style and coach them. And I enjoyed doing that, I love the runway, the modelling world, I love to see girls that are classy and posh, girls that can rock heels and strike the runway.
So, how has it been so far, Any challenges?
My biggest challenge right now is merging school with work. I miss several events because of school. Also, I need time to give a pageant the best routine. Apart from that, its been awesome. The reception I get from the southeast region has been encouraging. I have been nominated for several awards. I look forward to making southeast flawless in runway and pageantry.
