and,

Without Much Further Ado:

022 MAN OF STEEZE

Q: How are you feeling today? And, I hope that Steeze is still in abundance?

A: I'm quite okay, a little bit tense about the first stage but my STEEZE is very much in abundance 😂

M: The STEEZE must not reduce 😂

A: It will not 😂

Q: According to statistics, you seemed to be the most talked about contestant in the Main Crib during the Opening. How does that make you feel? And, are you confident that you are going to keep your fanbase engaged up until the very end?

A: I was actually surprised at first, but later on, it made me happy. I don't know if it was luck, or maybe they perceived my overflowing steeze (seriously, it's like a flood in here). I'll make sure my fanbase is engaged, and I'll try my best to take MOSAC to the very end.

Q: Okay, great. So, tell us then, how are you prepping for the first stage? What should the Audience and the Judges expect from you?

A: I've been trying to maintain composure since I checked the document, but I know God will come through. I am aiming to leave a lasting impression with my words, so they should expect a unique perspective and voice.

Q: And what about you is something that the other contestants should look out for? What do you have that others don't have?

A: Ah 😂 Can Steeze be the answer? Honestly, I think my secret weapon is my ability to procrastinate until the last minute and still come up with something amazing. Right now, I don't know the capability of the other contestants, but if they start showing up in capes, I'll know I'm in trouble.

Q: Tell us how the Project Pen House has been so far for you. And any contestants you'd use your opportunity to give a shout-out to?

A: It's been amazing. The werey is werey-ing. I'd love to give a shout-out to 001 ThePenReaper and 008 Smeraldo.

Q: How did you feel after you got the email that you passed the Screening Test? And how confident are you that you will make it to the next level of Project Pen?

A: I  hope I don't come off as cocky if I say I expected it. I was thrilled that I'll get to experience project pen. The next level? Maybe 60 percent confident. But if I were to rely on my STEEZE, I see myself already in the next stage.

M: This your STEEZE no go reduce ijn

A: Amen!

Q: Okay, and finally, before we move on to ask the less serious questions, can you say one or two words for your fanbase, Mosac, as you call them?

A: MOSAC, if you haven't guessed, it stands for Men Of Steeze And Composure. I really appreciate all the support and hope we go a long way together. Thank you ♥️.

M: Wow, this is new, I had no idea. Love it!

A: Thank you ✨

Q:  Tell us something you enjoy doing.

A: I enjoy looking at my eyebrows because I forget they are on my face.

Q: Tell us a weird dream that you have once had.

A: I saw terrorists coming down from an aeroplane and I stood watching them until they brought out a rocket launcher, and were already inside the building before I started running. Isn't that weird? Why didn't I run on time?

Q: Golden Morn or Cornflakes?

A: Cornflakes. But I love both.

Q: Tell us your favorite anything or everything. Can be books, movies, series, anything.

A: Favourite Book: Seasons of Crimson Blooms
Series: Never have I ever and Flawsome
Food: Pounded yam and egusi
Drink: Chilled coke during devil's heat
Movie: Moon Fall

Q:  If you win Project Pen, what will you use the Prize money to do?

A: If I don't buy books, I'll add it to my skincare products money.

M: Thank you very much for your time.

A: I really enjoyed it ♥️

Hm... What do you think about Man of Steeze?

028 THE WORDSMITH

Q: Well, well, well. As the Daddy of the contestants and Project Pen at large, what do you promise to do for your fans when you win the Project Pen money?

A:  Ah, that's a small something. Whatever their greedy lil hearts desire, they got it. I'm mr. Talk and do.

Q: You gained some attention in the Grand Opening, last night. How does that make you feel, Wordsmith? And are you confident in your abilities as a writer to back up the hype around your name?

A: Okay, so I didn't expect to gain that much attention, I'm kinda bashful about the whole thing.  Concerning the second part of your question, I am confident in my abilities even knowing that I'm up against some of the finest writers in the community, merely competing with them is already a test in and of itself, & one I'm looking forward to.

Q: True talk now. All jokes aside. Are you sure you will go far in this competition? And if yes, what is your strong factor? That thing that you have that other Contestants don't have?

A: I don't want to answer that, wouldn't wanna jinx all the good luck I carry. I do think I am a chameleon of sorts (writing-wise anyway), I can morph my words and style to fit whatever challenge, and I've found that to be an ace up my sleeve. It's also why I went with the pen name I now have, the ability to mold words, like traditional smiths, it's my thing.

Q:  The first stage of the competition has already begun and you all have seen your instructions for the stage. Are you excited or nervous in your quest to craft the perfect story?

A: Nervous?! Never! Excited is more like it. Let the games begin!

Q: Considering passing the screening test, did you expect to be a part of the 30 contestants? And, how does it feel to be a part of the Project Pen House? Have you made friends already, or have you made rivals?😈

A: I applied on a whim so I wasn't expecting anything, being in the house is hilarious and fun, I've already met quirky contestants, funny ones, up-tight ones, the house has any and everyone. Is it smart making friends with the competition?
Friend? Yes! As the saying goes keep your friends close and the project pen contestants closer.

Q: Shout out to any of the contestants?

A: Shout out to 001 ThePenReaper and 017 Bilie.

Q:  If you had the world's attention for 60 seconds, what would you say?

A: If I had the world's attention for 60 seconds I'd sing Queen's we will rock you

Q: Hot tea or coffee during harmattan cold or chilled coke during devil's heat?

A: Chilled coke during the devil's heart abeg. It's necessary.

Q: Recommend something for us. Anything. Could be a book, a movie, a series, anything.

A: Recommendation? Therapy. There's too many people that need it, me included 😭

Q: If you had the chance to get a superpower, what would it be?

A: Superpower? Money, money stops nonsense.

Q: A word or two for your fans, the Smiths?

A: To my fans, Y'all ain't seen nothing yet loves! May the odds ever be in our favour.
