I can’t compete with Tiwa Savage –Okiemute

Okiemute performing during PFWA 2016

Okiemute became a celebrity by virtue of participating in Project Fame West Africa 2016 which she eventually won. OSEYIZA OOGBODO BLOG met her and brings you excerpts of its interview with her.

How do you feel as the winner of Project Fame West Africa 2016?

Oh! I feel blessed. I’m happy. I feel speechless. The feeling is just overwhelming.

Is there a secret behind your success? You went all the way out of thousands of hopefuls. Is there something you did differently? Is it that you were working the hardest or you were able to canvass many more people to vote for you?

Well, we were in the academy, and we didn’t even know what was going on outside. We didn’t know whether people were voting more for this person or that person. As for me, I was scared. I didn’t go on probation at all, and I was like, does West Africa love me, like those people who had been on probation and were saved by West Africa? So that thought kept running through my mind and I can’t really say there was a specific thing I did particularly different as everyone was a strong contender that could win.

There was a white guy who was hugging you intimately on stage after you won. Who’s he?
