M.N.A: As a nominee for the face of IFUMSA 2019, how has that made you feel and what’s your expected outcome?
Nominee: Face of IFUMSA: Honestly, I didn’t see the nomination coming. It came as shock. Being nominated along side Oni Joshua and Agbakwuru Maximilian is really humbling. I’ve been nominated and I’m grateful. Expected outcome? Chuckles. Optimism doesn’t kill, they say. But, this is the reality —I’m actually not expecting anything.
M.N.A : What do you think makes you stand out amongst other nominees?
Nominee: Hahaha, you don’t know about eet. Oh well, literally, I’m one of the tallest amidst the nominees. But I guess, here’s it —A blend of service identity, personality and yeah, looks.
M.N.A: Do you regard yourself as a creative? If so, why?
Nominee: Yes, I do. Being able to work under pressure, improvise within a short period of time and proffer redresses. I’ve never felt smarter.
M.N.A: Which IFUMSite has an exceptional personality that you admire? Tell us about him/her

M.N.A: what are your pet peeves?
Nominee: Pet Peeves: Oh man, this got be to pussycat. I don’t even want any association with ’em. Those eyes and sneaking nature. Ta!
M.N.A: if not Medicine, which course would you choose to study?
Nominee: Then, Engineering. Now: Computer Science.
M.N.A: has any movie inspired you to the best of who you are? Tell us about it.
Nominee: Movie: ‘Run Fatboy, Run’. I saw this movie on 5th of August, 2018 (Its an inspirational movie, so…). Before that day, I’ve always thought I wasn’t emotional about movies.
FAM, I teared up for the first time. After seeing that movie, I told myself, ‘I’ll never ever ever give up. No I won’t, not when my balloons are complaint and my heart’s still pumping.’
There are many things in life that will make us fall and think of running away. But, we’ve gotta stand up and face ’em.
M.N.A: Who’s your best actor or actress and why?
Nominee: Best Actor: Samuel L. F*cking Jackson.
Why? You wanna motherfuckingly know? Don’t bullshit me. He’s got charis-ma and he’s funny.
Actress: Maisie Williams.
Why? I became a fan of her fictional character (Arya Stark) in the suspense -filled HBO Show, Game of Thrones. From her Tomboy look and Confidence to her Charisma. ‘What do we say to the god of death? Not today!’
M.N.A: What type of books do you read outside academics. Name one
Nominee: Any book really, depends on my mood and how free I am.
M.N.A: what do you appreciate most about MEDIVOICE?
