Of all the different kinds of food he's tasted, Rice is his favorite and his hobbies include listening to music and watching soccer matches.

Read what he has to say onnwhybhe thinks he's different, "I'm sure all NLanders must by now be able to recognize a sentence/written by me. My personality has always been my greatest asset. It encompasses my versatilty, flexibity, consistency, panache,
concisefullness, passion and so many worthy virtues. Hitherto, my personality also reflects in the way i communicate with people online.
Often times, my post, comments, responses, are well-laced with a blend of skillful purpose and a comedy-like softlanding so much people now know when a statement belongs to me even without my signature sighted under it.....very funny i know. With all i have mentioned, its hard for you to queue me up with the rest of the pack, dont you think?"

On how a close friend of relative would describe him, Scentmarlc has this to say, "Haaaaaa, this is a very funny one. Am so many things to so manypeople. While i might be described as a workaholic and a do-it-all in
the corporate bussiness arena, my playful and comedy acts at home always sells me out. Up here on NL, i am something else to different people in different sections too. My emotional and sensitive side comes into play whenever i am writing or being active in the romance
section but the same can not be said of my personae in the politics section. I have always maintained a bold and strong stance to adrive home my points. However, all these parts and sides, if rolled up into one, describes me as a very Loving, Passionate, Godly and an Endearing Human Being."

Why does he deserve to be crowned Mr. Nairaland?

"Like i said in my interview the other day, i should be crowned because i have something to offer all NLanders. My physical attributes are just added-ons that makes me more worthy of the crown. I am an astute information blogger with an undying thirst for researching and making new discovery. I write about the ills and vices of the society as well as issues bothering on health, politics, socials etc. Being an IT
person, i often answer to some of online tech questions being asked by NLanders in need of a quick fix. All these attributes and more, makes me more than qualified for the crown. Forget the fake suits, tinted hairs, boyish swaggs, uncalled-for egos floating around, action and substance makes a man."

His humility and Intelligence are other characteristics that is obviously a worthy note of mention.
My favourite quote of his remains "its fine to celebrate success but its more important to heed the lessons of failure" This quote has on several occasions given me the strength I need to persevere, work harder and move on when I am in a state of redundancy or experiencing a certain setback."

CONTESTANT NO. 10


AGARAWU23




Agarawu23 is a native of Ogun state and he's 26 years old. His favorite food is Rice but in the absence of rice, garri is a suitable substitute.

He loves watching movies, especially India love stories. "Music is part of me too and Passenger remains my best artist. "Let her go" by passenger is a music I can't stop listening to. Surfing the net is also one of my hubby in fact many take me to be jobless because I am always online but they are all getting it wrong because I work 8hrs daily just that i always use my free period to surf the net .(when asking God for job, ask Him for a job with ease. Because Work isn't money).

On what makes him different he says "Nothing makes me different because we are all homo sapiens. But I have a REAL personality and i don't FAKE my life just to impress people or get sympathy from people. I am always real."

My parents, friends and relatives know me for just 3 things and they will positively defend me with it. "Honesty, Hardworking, Stubbornness."

"Yes! I think I deserve to be crown Mr naira land because

1. I get positive comments from people when sharing opinions and ideas. I have my own innovative way of dealing with issues(I bring my own new way of dealing with topics that requires opinion and ideas).

2. I am not a dumb guy, so therefore I respond to response the way people reply me because I was thought never to take shit from people. I remember when I was a kid(11year old), if my mate beat me up and I cried home, my uncles will flog me to return back to the person that beat me up and return my own beating if I don't want to sleep with hunger that day. I don't want a situation whereby you begin to doubt if I was truly the Agarawu you knew. If you insult me, I will reply my own because respect is reciprocal.(I believe we want a smart Mr Nl because there is different between 'rude' and 'dumb')

3. I am a little bit creative and my creativity is another commend I get from people though not everyone will accept your point but if over 300 people can hit "like" on your comments, definitely you are making sense and even if it's a funny comment, at least it must have a message you are passing.

4. I am an active member of this forum especially the section where the contest is coming from. I visit other sections too but Romance & politics section seems to be my favourite( but that doesn't mean I have nothing to offer in other sections.) I believe we wouldn't want a "once in a blue moon" Mr nairaland .

5. Appearance is also part of the game but I think I am just a normal guy because when I see handsome guys I do appreciate them and I also have it In mind that my look is better than some no matter how ugly I am. God is the owner of beauty and He only has the power to give you any percentage of it. I just have to thank God that I am a complete man not disabled."

4. Who's Tomfrench's role model?

"As a successful man carved from scratch, I'll say my dad, without mincing
words! Because i'm his investment( a veritable one). I remember when i toured
the path of disobedience, wanting exploration. I met with strong, skin deep
disappointment, shattered. He "picked" me up, refined me and gave me back my
footing. Here i am today again pursuing a successful academic career. A
lucrative one at that.

still prefer to serve, because that's where the silent power of leadership lies."

RAPLAWD





Raplawd hails from Obollo-Afor in Udenu Local Government Area of Enugu State, Nigeria. He is 22 years old he is a business man, a member of The Nigerian Association Of Patent And Proprietary Medicine Dealers, based in Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria.


Who's his role model?

”Actually, Jesus Christ Is my mentor and role model,then my Hardworking Dad,together with my loving and caring Mum, but as a human, I must admit that there are some people that I consider as The Great Mind,(people Like Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojikwu,Innocent Ogbonna, Mike Adenuga, Aliko Dangote, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan,and the list continues), such people are my model,in business and political view.

But to be sincere, as an artist (a rapper )I see everybody as a role model cus that person might be a source of inspiration to me in the long run- be it a mad person, he or she really has something that make him/her a special someone, in a special way.

But I got to let you know that this are the home based artists that I always dream to be like...M.I Abaga, Sinzu, Mode9, and the international acts like Eminem, Rick Ross, 2Pac Shakur, Cannibus, T.I,Jay-Z, BirdMan, Static Major,BustaRhyme, Born Thug, our own Naija Boy Chamilonaire, and the king of King of Rap... B.I.G.

But all this people I listed (except Christ )doesn't represent any part of my life, all I do is to emulate their positive part and leave their negativity cus we all do, no one is perfect except God."

About his favorite food, he has this to say "Actually,I like eating a lot, as in, I eat anything eatable,harmless, nutritious and good for health...and Lol, for inspiration,(giggles, not weed ooo ).

but as original Igbo boy, I has a full list of our local dishes that I can spend large to have;Abacha (African Salad right ),Achicha,Okokoro, Ichipe, Otipiri,Moi Moi, Agidi, Utala Oka And Utala Ji, Ede with ofe nsala, akpu with egusi soup, infact, anything to be swallowed like fufu with ofe ogbono(draw soup )...and the list continues...

please don't ask me to explain some of the foods I mentioned up there cus I don't know there names in English, that's if they exist!"


On his hobbies, "Now you come, in other to make it short, I'm a music lover,and also an artist (rapper )...likes football (soccer ),loves watching movies (actions and horrors ),reads a lot, and also a fan of sweet comedies and humour!"

He was asked what makes him different?

"Hmmm, I can't really say, but when I look at things I does and likes doing,and as well enjoys doing it,I believes and know that I differs from the rest in different way, I don't like to try, I always want to accomplish and this are things that when I see or hear people say that they will try their best, I always ask myself why can't they do their best instead of trying? cus in trying, the chance of failure is always there unlike to succeed.

I am different cus I am me and nobody else, has been myself, still is and ever gonna be, not anybody else but my real me!"

Read how he thinks a close friend or relative would describe him.

"Should I give an address or a contact for you to confirm that I'm a good-bad-guy? and also a bad - good - guy... anyway, my people, or lemme say those that I've met,and have mingled with, maybe in the course of biz, study,work or whatever it might be will always tell you that I'm a guy who takes whatever he's doing serious, don't play With any opportunity, simple and just, but the truth is that I don't smile easily and you hardly see me laughing unless it calls for it, don't mess around, respect others as I would like em respond to me, a hardworking lad, gentle and God's looking... should I continue oh, should tell you this... I take God really serious!!!-don't call me a church goer!"


Why do you deserve to be crowned Mr Nairaland

"hehe... two many reasons better left untold, but
I think it should be left for Nairalanders to decide."
