“O My!!! That Speculation is very wrong...I am not dating Majid...”. Miss NFCS UNIPORT 2015, Queen Mercy Eze-Awaji Explodes

In what seemed to be a long awaited opportunity to clear the air on the speculations making the rounds that she is in love with one of the finest Dudes in Uniport and a co-founder of Gist Uniport Media, popularly known as Majid, the current Miss NFCS Uniport, Mercy Eze-Awaji, in an exclusive interview with Trendy Gist, debunked such speculations as baseless and unfounded; maintaining that the handsome Dude Majid is just her friend and nothing more.

Ø  For the sake of this interview, could you please introduce yourself to me?

Ok! I am Mercy Eze-Awaji and I hail from Imo state…currently in my 200 level, studying Accounting in the University of Port Harcourt.

Ø  How was growing up like...as in your childhood experience?

Growing up was fun for me. My two brothers and two sisters made it a period to be remembered. We quarreled, played, talked, laughed, studied and did practically everything together. Our parents taught us how to always look out for each other and I think that did stick with us till now.

Ø  How did you emerge Miss NFCS? How comes the idea of contesting for the crown?

At this point, I would have said my personality, smile, intelligence, beauty blah blah blah but it was not all these that helped me take the crown home…it was actually my willingness to take corrections and improve on myself. I saw the pageantry as an avenue to learn and it helped me to win the crown and improve on myself, and to become the new ME!!!

Contesting for the pageantry was never my plan at all but after much conviction from friends, I decided to give it a try; and that was how I found myself in front of an audience in various attires...lol

Ø  How does it feel to be crowned winner?

It feels really good, although, it comes with a lot of responsibilities but with the help of God, the Mr. NFCS and all others I know we can do it...

Ø  What pet projects are you embarking on?

I have a lot of projects in mind. I am a web designer (still learning though), so with the help of a very good friend who also designs websites am planning on creating an NFCS ‘App’ to make work easier and faster for them and by the grace of God it should be ready by the end of the year. I am also planning seminars and forums basically for youth empowerment and also to influence people's spiritual life positively and God willing many other projects...

Ø  How do you juggle pageantry with your academics?

One thing I believe or more like one thing I know is that everything is achievable…All it takes is to plan towards it…it wasn’t so difficult to combine both activities. All I did was to plan and partition my time to suit my plan and guess what? THAT WORKED!!!

Ø  How would you describe your style? And if I may ask...how do you keep fit?

REAL!..yh that’s the word..I am very original..lol..don’t mind silly me..bottom line is that I like to keep it simple...hmmm keeping fit ummm, I jog at least twice a week, I do some stretches and also diet but ehh it is really hard to stay faithful to my diet when cornflakes is still sold in the market..shh..That was my secret.

Ø  Do you share the minority perception that a pageant beauty must sleep her way to take the crown?

‪#‎laughs…let me rephrase that, they actually sleep their way to the bottom. Girls that do this don’t end up getting the crown but I believe that every fair pageantry contest should not allow such misconduct.

Ø  Was Miss NFCS contest your first experience of participating in a beauty contest, and if it was, what are the qualities that helped you to win?

Yes! Yes!! Yes!! It was my first…growing up I used to be kind of a ‘bloke’ and didn’t fancy all the lady-like stuffs…so I never really tried contesting for any pageantry contest…Like I said earlier on, it was my devotion to making corrections and improving myself that made me win...

Ø  Talking about pageant organizers reportedly sleeping with models...in your case was there anything like that?

No! Not at all! That never happened, our organizers were just devoted to training us and they never made advances at any one.

Ø  There's this speculation making the rounds that you are dating one of the most handsome students in Uniport...popularly called Majid. How true is that?

O my!! That speculation is very very wrong. I am not dating Majid. The truth is that we are not dating and we weren’t dating. Before or now…we are just friends. The speculation about us dating is false.

Ø  Most people say pageantry is always bias... In your case what do you think?

I don’t think they were bias at all...There was no sentiment or whatever. They cautioned who needed to be cautioned and complimented those that deserved compliments.

Ø  What advice would you give to upcoming models?

To models try to be the best at what you do. Never sleep with anyone that promises you success or victory. Just try to improve on yourself and you would be surprised as to how high you would fly.
