Fame costs me friends ___ Mr Nigeria,2011.

Mr Nigeria,2011, Deji Bakare goes all personal in this revealing/ interesting interview with <PUNCH NEWS>

Read it Below:

Background
My name is Deji Bakare. I’m from a family of four. I have two brothers and a sister. I am a native of Isale Eko, Lagos Island and a graduate of Lagos State University. I am the 2011 Mr. Nigeria winner. As Mr. Nigeria, I participated in a competition called Manhunt International in Thailand, Bangkok. I produced a reality show titled Deji Bakare Talent Search (D’bats), which was aired on major TV Stations in Nigeria.
Mr. Nigeria 2011
I became a celebrity when I was crowned Mr. Nigeria. During my reign, I engaged youths at seminars at a talk show tagged Stand Out With Deji Bakare. At a point, I lost my privacy and it became difficult to visit certain places and do certain things such as eating amala at a roadside restaurant. It lost my childhood friends.
Modelling
I am a supermodel and I am ready for anything. I will prefer to leave the pageants for the up- and-coming models. I travelled to Canada in 2013 for professional training in modeling and cinematography. When I returned to Nigeria, I established a modeling academy to train young aspiring models.
Misconceptions
The school of thought which says guys who participate in beauty pageants are vain only reflects the mediocrity of the mind. The showbiz world is full of razzmatazz and glitterati. That is the demand of the profession. While bankers are known for his trousers and suit, the doctors for their stethoscopes, carpenters for their nails and hammer, showbiz is purely razzmatazz that requires a bit of show-off and looking good all the time is the norm.
Scandals
I stay scandal-free by keeping myself busy and minding the type of friends I keep. I give my parents credit for the way I was brought up. It has impacted my life positively. So, staying scandal-free is not a problem to me. Some stars deliberately create scandals to make themselves outstanding. A star does not need all that to be outstanding.
Style
My sense of style is simply natural and down to earth. I love wristwatches and shoes. I am not too crazy about designers and I am fine with anything that looks good on me. Style is the real you; it is what you say, manner of delivery, and what you wear. It is simply a way of life.
Love
The result of serious love is marriage. I consider marriage a sacrosanct institution that must be respected and honoured. Marriage is a fallout of love. You should never consider marriage when there is no love. Choosing the right person for this institution is very important since a slip can result in an unplanned negative chain of events. I take issues relating to love and marriage as very important – a subject that should not be toyed with.
Current projects
I am currently building up a world-class modeling school named Deji Bakare Modelling Academy in Lagos. It is the first of its kind in this part of the world; most models are not doing it right and also not optimally paid.
Passion
I like to donate to the church and charity.
Favourite vacation spot
Kenya Safari Region because of its closeness to nature

I don't like guys with mouth odour-Eniola Badmus

Eniola Badmus became a major hit in the blockbuster movie ‘’Jenifa’ as the ‘Gbogbo Big Girls’, where she played the role of a madame who rented out girls on campus to big men. Then she kept with the same stereotype in ‘`Omo Ghetto’ where she was a leader of bad ghetto girls. Ever since, the coast has been all yummy for Eniola who has become a hotcake with movie producers. She recently celebrated her birthday in New York and had the elite of the movie industry in attendance. As Potpourri star this week, Eniola lets us into her world: What movies have you done this year? There’s Uchechi  The Blind Cripple, A Child In Me , and many others.
