Project Fame taught me to be disciplined
In a chat with Showtime, Geofrey Oji, winner of Project Fame West Africa Season 7 said being part of Project Fame taught him to be disciplined.
“ I feel blessed winning Project Fame; it was an opportunity for me to showcase what I have and also to represent the other contestants who were on the academy. Project Fame taught me to be disciplined.
In as much as we have fun attached to entertainment, it’s not really about fun, but more about discipline. It’s about you being committed to what you are good at. The only way to apply the discipline is to be disciplined.”
When asked how he handles attention from his female fans he said: “Everybody wants to identify themselves with success. Nobody wants to identify with a failure, so it’s just basically applying wisdom. It’s not really easy hanging out with a whole lot of ladies.
Every lady wants to be your girlfriend; every lady wants you to be her boyfriend. One cannot date the whole world. One has to at some point stick to someone one loves and be good with that.”

Nkiru Silvanus says I don’t mind being a second wife
The dream of every woman is to find a man to spend her entire life with. Even the Holy religious books have enjoined men and women, to seek each other out and cohabit as man and wife. But as beautiful and simple as this may sound, marriage has long gone from being a simple item on a menu, it has become a task, as finding a true life partner has become as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. It is particularly more difficult for the womenfolks as they have to be proposed to.

On Marriage
People feel like they lose something when they get married, but it doesn't have to be that way. There's nothing more exciting about having a witness to your life,You know, everyone's not good at everything. You know?''It's OK to depend on someone. It's actually what we're supposed to do - we're supposed to depend on each other.
'And when you find the person that you trust and you love and you feel is going to respect you and take all the shit that you have and turn it around and bring out the best in you, it feeds you. It is the most powerful thing you can ever feel in your life.'
'Happiness comes from you, 'No one else can make you happy. You make you happy. And one thing that's for sure: The love I have for the music, my husband, for my child - it's something that will last far beyond my life.'
