ASUU Strike might be a curse for many, but for
Winner of MTN Project Fame season 6,
Olawale Ojo, it was actually a blessing in
disguise.
Olawale Ojo in an interview with Bayo Adetu of
PM News, tells it all on how he emerged winner
against all odds during the stiff competition
which had 16 other contestants battling for the
top spot. Read excerpts from his interview:
If you didn't envisage winning the
competition, what was your plan when you
registered to participate at the auditions?
I came up to register when ASUU was on strike,
and this was my first time to participate in a
music competition. I didn't really come with too
much determination, but anywhere I find
myself, I always try to give my best in all I do. So,
when I got into the academy, I didn't have a choice
than to give my best for everything.
So ASUU strike actually pushed you to
Project Fame?
Yes, but I believe that is how God wants it to be.
The strike is a blessing in disguise for me.
As a millionaire now, how do you intend to
cope with your colleagues in school when
the ASUU strike is over? Will there be any
pressure on you?
I think the only change is that I meet a lot of
people and people know me now. I wasn't this
popular, but now I am popular. I think that is
just the difference. I am still Olawale. The only
thing different is just that I am now popular and
I have to be more conscious of my career now
because I have to work more on my songs. I
have to make sure I don't disappoint my fans
out there. The work has changed...................................follow him on twitter @ eezydarapper
