My name is Elumelu Olisadualima Obiora, I was born on October 29th, Delta state by Origin , born in Laogs. I’m from a family of 6- I’ve got 5 sisters
What was growing up like for you?
Growing up, I must say was eventful, judging from my family structure, being the only son placed me in various positions at various times. .I was pretty much loved, but not pampered =-)
Did you always have passion for modelling or it’s Just something u grew to like?
I’d say I grew to like modelling, one of my siblings got into it actively as an undergraduate and I loved how she handled it. It inspired me though
Do you intend go on after u hand over?
I intend to continue but on a much more private scale.
We all know you were initially crowned first prince before you became the premier king, How did u feel when this happened?
I felt content, I won’t deny I felt moderately happy, however, I had always felt like a winner, so the re crown was the icing on the cake..
We are curious, What’s the story behind it?
Issues like this sincerely, do not appeal to me as what to be discussed, so I’d rather stir a middle course on this one.
After the re crown, I didn’t feel like I triumphed over anyone, I just saw it as something that was probably bound to happen, judging from the circumstance, however, a lot of consideration was made alongside my family, friends and manager, before I took the step to accept, but I didn’t feel less than a winner, Nah…with the amount of love I received after the show…I felt like a winner from the second I stepped out.
Have you had other modelling jobs since the premier pageant?
Yes, I have had other jobs since the pageant.
Do you think the pageant has changed u in any way?
I believe it has changed me, positively, personally it has helped me develop inter relational and3 artistic skills that I wasn’t really sure I possessed.
What has been different?
A couple of differences, quite typical in any case, popularity; (when you meet people they introduce themselves, but before you do so..they already know you), Attention, Preferential Treatments, pretty much.
Any rumors?
Rumours?? Not sure , not heard any …maybe if you faced me with one, I’d be able to validate it or otherwise..
Are you in a relationship?
No, I am Not.
In what way have you been able to make a change since you Were crowned the premier king?
Basically, I’ve been able to work with people, effectively utilise a bit of influence in assisting students to achieve goals. I’ve been in committees-to render ideas, I’ve been kon Publicity teams, (majorly for my hall and faculty), been able to help students with upcoming businesses to give them a voice, modeled for some and offered mild support and sponsorship, my belief is that..if you can’t build a yacht for them, making an effort to make a canoe is better than just words and pictures.
Any advice to uites ?
I advice uites to be Believe in God, prayers and also the tools they possess inside them. You can really be anything you want to be, and you shouldn’t let anyone or anything weigh you down, shoot for the stars and Try as much as possible to be a source of light wherever you find yourself.
