A day with Bionic Media

An interview conducted on the brain behind the name BIONIC MEDIA on the 15th of March, 2015;
What is Bionic Media Company about?

Bionic Media is a media/events (entertainment) company. It is the organizer of Mr Anambra Universe which has two successful editions already. The third edition will be done later this year. We also launched our female Pageantry last week which is titled Miss Anambra Tourism.

Can you tell us more about this Miss Anambra Tourism?

Well, the first edition is fixed for mid this year, precisely July. We started publicity already and the audition is for the 31st of May, 2015. We believe we set the pace and break barriers.

What benefits does one get from winning your pageants?

Our winners don’t just win star prizes which we usually deliver on. All our winners are proud owners of brand new cars and have gone from being ordinary people to becoming celebrities known nationwide. Furthermore, our winners go to represent the state in National pageants.
The first four winners go for Mr Universe Nigeria, Mr Tourism Nigeria, Nigeria International Super Model and Mr Earth Nigeria respectively, and we have produced three National winners.

What are your achievements so far?

We can proudly say we are the biggest male pageantry in South-east, Nigeria. Like I said earlier we have produced three National winners. Our maiden edition winner .i.e. Mr Anambra Universe 2013, Francis Beacon represented Anambra state at the Mr Universe Nigeria and emerged winner. He is the current Mr Universe Nigeria. The first runner up for the maiden edition with the title, Mr Tourism Anambra, Divine Ezike also contested for Mr Tourism Nigeria on that same year and emerged the winner also. He just handed over last year. Then our second edition 2nd runner up, Model of Anambra 2014 contested for Nigeria International Super Model 2014 and also emerged winner. The other winners are yet to go for their national feature which is coming up this year. The Mr Anambra Universe 2014 winner, Slami Onah will be representing Anambra at the Mr Universe Nigeria 2015 come September, so we can proudly say we have put the state on the road map of the modelling and entertainment industry in Nigeria. We hope to replicate the same story with the birth of our female pageant.

 

Apart from pageants what else do you do?

We have started a very laudable project for our winners. Our winners are not just frontiers in the fashion and modelling industry, they will be embarking on these projects. We have developed and structured a model for a pet project to benefit the kids of Anambra state. It is called the ROOM TO READ project. The winner of the maiden edition, the current Mr Universe Nigeria, Francis Beacon did a school tour across the state visiting major schools for the sensitization program in respect to the ROOM TO READ project during his reign in 2013/2014. He has passed the mantle down to the current Mr Anambra Universe 2014 winner, Slami Onah.

What is this ROOM TO READ project? I believe our readers would be interested in knowing.

ROOM TO READ project is basically about erecting libraries in all local governments in the state which will be accessible to all kids in the state at no cost to develop the minds of our future leaders. This is our bid to contribute to the development of the state capital and have already secured a space for erecting the first library. Work will commence soon. We are also in partnership with the City Profs Educational Foundation which is under the chairmanship of Professor Anene Williams.

I’m really impressed and am sure the world is too, but please we’ll like to know the brain behind all these great works?

Hmm…his name is Orjika Francis a.k.a. Ceejay. Ceejay is from my native name Chijioke, from Osumenyi in Nnewi south lga, Anambra state. I was born on the 3rd of October. I am an ex-model, a project manager and an entrepreneur, graduated from the prestigious University of Lagos. i have a certification in Project Management which makes me a Project management professional and currently in view MBA, Lagos Business School.

What inspired the organization of BIONIC MEDIA COMPANY?

The dream all started after I emerged 1st runner up i.e. Best Model Universe Nigeria at the maiden edition of Mr Universe Nigeria 2011. I enjoyed all the thrills and paparazzi but it dawned to me that after one year of reign all that would be history. So I racked my head for a way of not making the opportunity and exposure a waste. Then I thought of giving back to my home state of origin, that gave birth to BIONIC MEDIA and organizing of the pageant.

Wow! This is awesome. How did you go about the organizing of your first pageant?

I thank God. We got no sponsor oh; it was personal funds and support from friends and family.

So, you have achieved all this within the space of two years and also want to push further into the female aspect. What do you intend doing?

Like I said before we are organizing the maiden edition of Miss Tourism Anambra 2015. The auditions will be on 31st of May so interested ladies should purchase their bank tellers at Diamond Bank and go online on www.missanambra.com to register, the winner not only gets to be a car owner but also represents Anambra state at the National level, be the Girl on the Magazine Cover and other fabulous prizes.

Thank you very much for giving us your time Mr Ceejay. We really had a good time and enjoyed your company. Ladies, it is time to begin your journey to stardom. Wish I was a lady make I use this opportunity take win car…anyway, have a lovely day, Ceejay and keep reading TalksFriendite… we out!
