Charge us about your be foremost into modeling...
I grew up in Benue encompass and I actually meet to study drug, but in the explain of waiting for JAMB to gain charm into UNIJOS my mum advised me to keep my view busy. I enrolled at Benue Undergo University for a medicinal programme.
Last the medicinal programme, I had issues with non-indigenes not getting the best passageway. They shoved me into Enlargement(Biology). I out of favor that passageway with a passion. Feathers the line, the Mr Academic world march came up. My friends meet me to make them unfriendly, at the same time as we were regarded as unserious students. They never saw us reading but we regularly approved.
I entered the gunfight and won. That was my motivation for modeling. I loved the organic hunch I got from the gather together. I contracted to become a model. I got a arrogant cheers from another students all through the gunfight. That was in 2003.
I told face-to-face again, if I do modeling and I get rewarding for it, why not do it professionally? Last my education, I relocated to Lagos, experienced form that Lagos is the middle of wild animals. Number one, I forgot about the Kingdom Youths Patch up Corp. I just did my youth service two being ago. I started modeling professionally in 2005. I command entire a lot of commercials on billboards and on TV. I command washed up count of the elegance shows I command entire.
What about Tinsel?
It's a funny story. My maneuver into Shiny flecks started such as an mediator whilst invited me for a TV dealing for MNET. My appoint was for 10am but I in the end got portray previously 4pm. Many of another models were invited and the impression was that it was a very big TV dealing. We didn't let know it was an pain for Shiny flecks. Behind, they gave me a script to read. Sincerely, if I knew it was about acting I wouldn't command omitted portray at the same time as I never saw face-to-face as an musician.
I never knew I was departure into acting. Last I read the script, they told me to try and act what I read from the script. I didn't evenly balanced let know what was departure on at the same time as in some commercials, you command a newscaster talking about the product or service. I read the script and they understood I should remove from my number and that they would call me.
In the region of three weeks last, I was in action out at the stadium and they called and told me to come something like for chunk. I still had my qualms, but getting portray, I saw a cast from separate countries with South Africa and Ghana. It thus dawned on me that it was actually a entertainment in installments for MNET.
I sense if I sailed miserable the pain and they think I can do it, I should be able to try. I learnt overtime that human beings act on a daily main. Anybody is an musician. As I'm talking with you now, I'm happy, positive, but you don't let know what is bothering me. In modeling too, such as you are on the tarmac, you are not allowed to beam and command.
Your body has to be a gauge for the garments you are modeling. Group if you see your mum, dad or bend in two brother that you command not seen for being, you are not allowed to blink or beam. That is acting. At MNET, (Shiny flecks), we had encode of workshops and seminars. If you've noticed, our style is separate. Best of the jobs we do are classified. It's a multi-cam bud. They use three cameras at the actual time and you may never let know such as the camera is courteous on you. I thank God people think I'm ham it up a good job as Soji Bankole.
What's it like being a model and actor?
I beam to the mount better consistently and I get endorsements on place main. They just come and go and I get a lot of favors. At times I miss the part that you just want to flow unaided, go to definite places but I'm not ill-tempered. It has been stunning.
Do you still stop on the street to buy boli or favor okada?
Yes, I do stop and buy boli, if it grabs me, but I don't favor okada. To be more precise of okada, I bought a power cycle. So I favor the cycle face-to-face. Portray are times I feel like eating boli, I just do ogboju, park and ask madam how much? I positively see zilch wrong with that but people would say, haaa him no get resources again?. I believe I should regularly make face-to-face happy and satisfied and every another occurrence will just fall in place.
How do you ad-lib with ladies ?
It's not easy but I try as afar as discretionary to ad-lib. I believe I command better female fans than male.
Why?
You let know ladies, they regularly many a guy that is in their own way a staff which I try to be. Let me not thrash my pronounce.
What do you mean...is it at the same time as of your acting prowess?
I don't let know, but I bear in mind about 10 separate instances such as guys walked up to me and understood, "good job, it's not that we for sure like you but at the same time as my girlfriend is regularly interfering me that she fell in love and all that". You let know it comes from portray.
Girls are stunning people.I love hanging-out something like them. I actually believe women are spiritual. Every one of woman is spiritual. I try my best to be with them, other than portray are boundaries. You let know some generate of girls do ram crazy, unsophisticatedly, I wouldn't let them..
Be attracted to what?
The greatest one that happened was all through my fresh elegance show spill in Haven Harcourt. We far-reaching the show and I think I was trying to change back stage. I had full of activity off my dress in, so this girl ran to me and indoors a vivacity of an eye, she assumed my occurrence, my occurrence( pointing to his trouser). I told her don't touch it. She understood "ok, kiss me, if you don't kiss me, I wont remove from it. Kiss me, kiss me", she screamed count "if you don't kiss me I won't remove from it". I felt like I was chickening- out but that was the only occurrence I may perhaps do. I begged and begged.
In the presence of others?
Yes, people were portray looking at me. I started applicant. You let know me, if it's too afar for me I will beg you. I told her I was repenting. I begged and begged her. Lay claim to were starring at us.
In fact, the way she did it, the another models were wondering the generate of courage she's got. But this girl wants to play. I begged and begged and told her, you let know what, I will come back for you previously the party, so that she can remove from my occurrence so that I can feel free. And it worked.

My style depends on my mood. My keep on about style is feeling gratify in what you are inside.
Why do you dispute concern locks?
I dispute concern hair, at the same time as I'm downy and I love playing with my coat which in the end gives me a strong look.
To the lead now, I used to command a long pony hunt. I follow sometimes so I get to proposal and improvise separate styles for my friends to pile with my coat.
Also, I got bored and contracted to change looks, so I bald something and started locking the coat such as it grew again. That resulted in what you see now.
