Contestant 1 KENNETH205 Kenneth205 who is in his early twenties, was born in Benin City, Nigeria. To the famous and dignified Onaifo family. He hails from Uhunode local government of Edo state. Education: He had his early education in Adams Foundation group of schools and Fountain group of schools, Benin City. Where he then proceeded to Edo boys high school (formally Adolo college), Benin City for his secondary school education. Hereafter he obtained his WAEC certificate. He is an undergraduate in the prestigious University of Benin studying Computer science. Favourite Food: His favourite meal is hot pounded yam and Ogbono soup especially when it is combined with Egusi (melon) soup. Which is his ALL-TIME favourite he enjoys eating and never gets tired of. Hobbies: He is a very studious man. He love doing research (with the aid of internet and informative books). He is active in the following sports, football and table tennis. Some of his music talents are, playing the keyboard and piano. His role model(s): Firstly, My hero is William Henry Gates III, better known as Bill Gates. Who is also referred to as "The King of Software". He inspired me because his ideas about computers, and software changed the world and created immense wealth—not just for himself, but for an entire ecosystem of software developers. Secondly, Aliko Dangote. He is a Nigerian billionaire, who owns the Dangote Group, which has interests in commodities. He is a role model that inspires my spirit. He is determined and focused. He is worth emulating. Thirdly, Bob Marley is also my role. Bob Marley was a really famous reggae singer in Jamaica. One of Bob Marley's songs that has such a deep meaning is "One Love". Everything about this reggae singer is about spreading peace and love around the world. Whenever I am in a gloomy mood, I just listen to his music and immediately feel better. This man had and still is a positive impact, and did not let the outside world affect his persona. I believe that Bob Marley is important because he helped people realize, that there needs to be more peace in the world. It may have not hit other people yet but some people realize that, that is true. Forthly, Donald James "Don" Moen is an American singer-songwriter, pastor, and producer of Christian worship music. I love Don Moen's songs because it has changed my life. His gift of worship and the ability to carry others along in worship is just too amazing. Lastly, Céline Marie Claudette Dion. She is a Canadian singer and businesswoman. She was born in a poor, large family and has finally received success. Celine Dion has made a difference in my life because her music touches me and I also love to sing too. Songs like "My Heart will Go On", "Power of Love", "I'm Alive" always make emotional when I listen to them. What his friends Think about him: His course mate "Joy" described him as a perfect Gentleman, Respectful & Industrious. A cheerful giver. He is a very simple person. He is a no nonsense person. He always stand by his words. According to Frank (His lodge mate), Ken is a nice and easy going person. He has helped me academically and otherwise. He even thought me how to play the piano. He is gifted. He is a lover of music. He is special to everyone. Samson (his brother) described him a vibrant man. He is focused and determined in what so ever he does. He is always truthful. He is my brother for life. What makes you different? I am different because I am unique and special. There is no second me. I am the best of me. I am gifted with originality and intelligence. I have an authentic personality and I don not live a prententious lifestyle just to impress or get sympathy from people. These are the traits that has differentiated me from my peers. His favourite quote; "If you can't make it good, at least make it look good" - Bill Gates "If you born poor it is not your mistake, but if you die poor it is your mistake" - Bill Gates. "Patience is the key element of Success" - Bill Gates "Don't worry about a thing. Every little thing is gonna be alright" - Bob Marley "Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you are living?" - Bob Marley "The future belong to those who prepare for it today." - MalcolmX I love these quotes because they motivate and inspire me! 14 Likes 1 Share

Contestant 6 CUTEZT Cutezt is a 20-year old graduate of Mass Communication from one of Nigeria's most respected higher institutions and currently pursuing a degree in communication at the University of Nations. He is from Jos North Local government area of Plateau state What is your favourite food? “My favorite food? Lol, it varies tho, I don't have a particular type of food, it's all in the mood, but give me Tuwon Shinkafa and Groundnut soup anytime, anyday I am ready, I go back you.“ On his hobbies, he says, “I have passion for anything Football, be it playing (physically or on a console), watching, or even managing, I also love editing, I am a cinematographer.“ “The most influential person in my life is my uncle. My uncle is what exactly I want to be in the future: kind, compassionate and a true epitome of a Christ-like father .he is an inspiration and a blessing to me and to others who know him.,he is large hearted, he accommodates so many things, he has equal love for all, doesn't show any preference, he is intelligent and very sharp, tho I admire my dad a lot, but I just have to give it up for my uncle, he is just the kind of influence I need to take me to my ultimate goal.” “If someone is to describe me, I don't really know what the person perceives of me, but it will most likely be " He is a very reserved, respectful and happy person with great vision, he keeps to himself a lot, isn't much of a noise maker, loves music so much, he is peaceful, in fact, no one has ever come home saying Martins fought him,God really kept him, he may not discuss himself much. He may not say or think an excessive number of positive things about himself. He may not like what he sees when he stands in front of the mirror, Yet, regardless I cherish him. I know he is strong. I know he is bold. I know he is a delightful individual. He may not indicate it, but rather I truly do love him. These are the exact words of my dad on my birthday (22/04/2016).” What makes you different? “Aside my rare humility, peace, God and my respectful nature, what sets me in the spotlight is my never say die attitude, At the early stages of this contest, I felt discouraged, I felt like quitting due to the various distractions and discrimination from various sections of the forum, I felt like it was all about who is more famous,, I knew it would pain me to quit, I felt I was wasting my time, but in the midst of all this, I remembered one thing, I remembered that pain is temporary, It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever. I remembered that if I quit, it will become a daily habit, Even the smallest act of giving up, stays with me. So when I feel like quitting, I ask myself, which would I rather live with?, Age wrinkles the body; quitting wrinkles the soul, Quitting is never an option on the road to success, So I decided to find the way forward,and that taught me a lesson, If you have a positive mindset and are willing to persevere, there is little that is beyond your reach. The attitude of being ready to work even in the face of challenges and despite odds is what will make all the difference in my life.” Your best quote? “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do, so keep your eyes up at sun shine and you will never see shadows.” Why do you deserve to be crowned Mr. Nairaland? First of all, every contestant here is a winner, we were all born to be winners, I admire the courage of all 30 contestants, Nairaland is a forum which attracts millions of viewers monthly, making up one's mind to contest for this amongst the millions on this forum, deserves to be acknowledged, let me use this opportunity to tell my fellow contestants that I ADMIRE THEIR COURAGE, and I wish them Goodluck in this, however, aside the past experience I have in pageantry, I feel I have even more edge over other contestants because I posses certain rare leadership qualities, throughout my life, I have come across so many people, young and old And in my journey in life, one way or the other, I always have that influence, I have been in the midst of people far older than me and I was amazed at how they all came to me for one issue or the other, they all look up to me, guess it's inbuilt, The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves. my set standard pulls them to me, In life, I realized that As a leader, you have to not only do the right thing,but be perceived to be doing the right thing. A consequence of seeking a leadership position is being put under intense public scrutiny, being held to high standards, and enhancing a reputation that is constantly under threat. You don't necessarily need a title to be a leader, this title is just but an added motivation, Winning this contest is not about the cheers of individuals, Winning is not about the waving of hands, not the popularity you will gain here, and in no way, just for the wearing of crown. It is more than that, leadership is not about glorious crowning acts. It's about keeping your team focused on a goal and motivated to do their best to achieve it, especially when the stakes are high and the consequences really matter. It is about laying the groundwork for others' success, and then standing back and letting them shine. To be a leader is difficult as it appears, you must be the absolute best in whatever you do, The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly, Furthermore, conquering all others and grasping the crown is not simply being the most attractive of every one of them. It requires lots of work , to be grinned and to be spotlighted, as a leader, you are always in the spotlight, all eyes will be on you, and of course there are those who are watching your every move, looking for where you will go a little wrong, being a leader, you have to have a large heart, ready to take corrections, and be able to work with others, as a leader, you must poses a vision, because where there is no vision, the people perish, leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality , being a leader, you have to thread with caution because pride may accompany your role as a leader, so in every situation, you have to be low headed, winning this is not just about the looks, it's about your personality, the kind of person you carry in you, your towards things, and your passion for humanity, I deserve to win this competition because I have this undying urge to serve, the first responsibility of a leader is to define reality and the last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant, I want to serve this wonderful forum which I have learnt so much from, Moreover, the adventures and anamnesis I may experience here are past quantifiable on their value enlarging my social skyline and comprehension of individuals. I have all these qualities, and many more. The push behind my decision to contest is to grow mentally, and also, to boost my self-regard and self-confidence, In like manner, it is an incredible honor and respect to wind up as one of the contestants.” 27 Likes

He enjoys researching on topical issues', Reading, Listening to music. He doesn’t look up to anyone in particular as he believes just one person cannot possess all desirable traits but religiously, he follows the steps of Jesus and Prophet Muhammad (SAW). How will a close relative (friend or family) describe you? “In order to strike a balance I consulted two friends a male and a female. Friend(Male): Fynestboi is a brother.... I have never seen him as a friend. Why? He is free with everyone, straight to the core and Selfless in helping everyone. Friend female: Friend female: Fynestboi is a friend that will always leave you amazed, he is charismatic, always ready to serve at any cost, a selfless individual, anything he does, anywhere he is he will always set standard, people will just know that someone different is around and he gives a lot chai his heart is just too big... Fynestboi is just extraordinary. Family: Lol called my mum to ask her, and she was like: Ade what are you up to again, and I was like, ma I just needed to know, and here was her response. Mum: Ade is a boy that is loveable by all, you will just love him no matter how harsh you are and that is due to his amiable nature, he is very kind, he is slow to anger, he takes people's problems to be his own, he is quiet but a very bright child.” “What I might actually think makes me different might be similar to someone somewhere that I don't know, however I will say I am different because I am me.” His favorite quote is, “Wanting to be like a successful person might make you a failure, pursue success in a dimension that would make people see you as a role model, not in a way that would make them compare your success with someone else's.” “Why do you think you deserve to be crowned Mr. Nairaland? “It's easy to claim to be something but through our actions, the truth and the fact is revealed. And those we relate with are best positioned to assess us. Hence, I asked various nairalanders on why Fynestboi deserves the Crown and I got these: Nairalander 1: You deserve the crown because you're one with tremendous intel on how to bring the minds of Nairalanders together. This you did when you single handedly hosted and handled the Nairaland Debate Competition, which bring the mind of intelligent young under graduates from different schools to compete, learn and get to know other... Nairalander 2: Fynestboi is very straightforward, a person who wears his heart on his sleeve and once he sets his heart on something, he doesn't back down until he achieves it. He deserves the crown for his commitment and focus on things that matter the most. Nairalander 3: Fynestboi gives motivation to those who shy away from exploring the intelligence in them. Fynestboi is always ready to learn things, like business strategies and how to make ends meet. He is a great guy with big dreams which I believe will have positive influence on people around him.” 90 Likes 18 Shares

He is a Website Designer/Developer, A Database Administrator, An I.T Consultant, A Politician and MD/CEO Emperor Technologies Limited". He hails from Esan North East Local Government, Uromi, Edo State. On his favorite Food he says, "Hmmm, this is hard to choose but i will go with Salad. Just serve me a bowl of salad mix with cream and watch me devour it without losing a sweat.” He loves Coding, playing and watching football (if you want to be my friend, you need to first be in-love with football, lol), reading (to an extent), Modelling (yeah, i was into modelling, had to ditch it for I.T, entertainment is still my first love though), Acting (If not for I.T, I would have been an actor or a model or even both right now) and Cooking (yeah, I cook alot, started cooking at age 14 and it has become part of me and a hobby) “As an entrepreneur, we aren't known to put all our eggs in one basket, my field varies so also my role models. I am a practising politician (lot of nairalanders doesn't know this, lol) and in politics, i do look unto Comrade Adam Aliu Oshiomole. The reason isn’t far-fetched, he seem to posses some special qualities just like me; fearless, tenacious, an orator and whatnot In Entrepreneurship and business, i look upto to elder brother, his 'never give up spirit' is second to none and i also posses such. In sport (football) i look unto former Fc Barcelona and presently Manchester City Manager/Coach, Josep Guardiola (i feel his managerial skill is incomparable and his team style of play still remain unmatched and as a former Bendel united feeders player that had to put a halt to his footballing career after sustaining a knee injury in 2005, i feel being a football coach some day would means i have fulfilled my footballing dreams. In I.T, my role model has to be my former teacher and CEO of pendulum technologies limited/institute, Mr Fatai. His teaching qualities and managerial prowess was what made me fell in-love with I.T.” How will a close relative (friend or family) describe you? “This just got real, time for confession, lol. A close relative would describe me first as an ORGANISER, A Doubt 'Dissolver', A 'Convincer', A Fearless and Blunt Orator, A Stubborn and Strong Heart young man, a Politician, a Strategist, a Master Planner, an Extrovert, a Sport Lover, Lover of Humanity, A Nice and Kind Young Man, A Giver, A Leader and a Strict, Tenacious & Principled young man.” On what makes him different, “Wow! I would say we are pretty similar. We are all just really interested in the World around us and trying to understand some small part of it. The bit that makes us different is which part exactly we are trying to understand and maybe how we go about it. I, for example, am trying to understand how stars behave. To do that, I use telescopes to observe them and then try to figure out what that means. The other contestants here are interested in other things, from the birth of the Universe through to what the tiniest sub-atomic particles in the Universe do. That means that they might need to build their own experiments, where as I can only work with the stars I can see (I can’t arrange the stars differently to see how they behave!). They might have to use big computer simulations to try and understand or predict what is happening (I sometimes have to do that too, but I bet I do it less that some of the others!). So, fundamentally, I would say that we are pretty similar. We are all just really interested in something! The thing that makes us different is the particular thing that we are interested in!” What is your favourite quote? “Too many quotes and i have always refused or get's confused when picking a favourite amongst all but since this is an official question which should be responded to with just an answer, then i will go with; "DO NOT DO TO OTHERS WHAT YOU WANT OTHERS TO DO UNTO YOU BECAUSE OUR TASTE DIFFERS" Here is the reason for this quote; Imagine attending a friend's wedding with a mindset that he/she will also attend yours when yours comes only for him/her to refuse your invitation during yours with an excuse that him/her do not like attending weddings. Lol” Why do you think you deserve to be crowned Mr Nairaland? “I deserve to be crowned Mr Nairaland 2016 for many reasons but i will like to point out just few of these reasons. 1. It must be taken into consideration that all the contestants in this contest deserve to be crowned Mr Nairaland because we all possesses different special qualities but since there cant be 2 or more winners, it becomes necessary that the first we should look out for is a contestant who to an extent sees nairaland as his second home and not one who is unknown to fellow nairalanders and who may disappear from nairaland after winning the crown and i think i am well known on nairaland, cutting across all sections, from romance to politics, webmaster, business, etc. 2. Being in I.T field, it gives me the opportunity of knowing nairaland from both the members point of view and also from that of the owner, developers and this me the ability of understanding what both the owner and members feels. 3. This is my first time of contesting which means new ideas and creativity. 4. As an entrepreneur and a professional website developer, database administrator and an I.T consultant, i will use my office as Mr Nairaland 2016 in collaboration with Seun Osewa to empower nairalanders by organising online (nairaland) training programmes and if necessary provide them grants as this has been the problem majority of Nigerian youths, most especially entrepreneurs and those in I.T field are facing. 11 Likes 3 Shares

He enjoys eating Pounded yam, vegetable with Egusi Soup and Goat meat and his hobbies include, Travelling, Reading motivational books, Exercising. He looks up to Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote and he believes friends and family see him as a jovial, kindhearted, generous, fun and disciplined person and also someone who strive to make a difference. On what makes him different, he says “I'm endlessly curious and all my friends, family and colleagues look to me for answers on everything from mood swings to mindcraft. As i've always been exceptionally passionate about social issues, even though i have my weaknesses, which i believe they are stepping stones to greater achievements in life.” His favorite quote is, “Treat every part of your towel nicely because the part that wipes your buttocks today will wipe your face tomorrow!” Why do you think you deserve to be crowned mr nairaland? “I've broken many grounds by winning various prestigeous awards during my undergraduate days as the face of my faculty, among other honours. I want to do it on a bigger scale now and it comes down one thing, I have got what it takes to do this. My talent, prowess, Simplicity, friendliness and kindheartedness makes me worthly to be CROWNED MR NAIRALAND 2016.” 22 Likes 2 Shares
