  BOX411 - Hello steve, Aside from being ceo of house of twitch who is Yotunde Fabamwo (Stephen Twitch)?

  STEVE-  I am a fun loving guy , i dnt take myself too seriously. I love to play badminton , Squash and sometimes run on the field.

   BOX411 - how long did it take you to break into the pageantry world, considering competition from other pageantry?

   STEVE - There are two things about business, innovation and marketing. We never tried to copy any other pageant , we were original and we had a focus, we didnt want models , we wanted entrepreneurs and thats why all the male pageants under us are strongly linked to business, and of cos i have seen and heard of male pageants who now try to copy this. our number one marketing strategy , never promise what you cant give, and all these coupled with God has made us stand out.

   BOX411- what challenges will you describe the most challenging in handling THREE world class event successfully in a year?

   STEVE - I would say one of it is sponsorship because each platform needs funds to be able to reach all the people we want to make a difference in , and as they say money makes the world go round but regardless , every year , the show has to go on but most importantly ,with the resources we have we make sure we make a difference in the world by developing our winners and making sure they pave the way to help others, thats a true hero and role model.

   BOX411 - Tell us about the brand mr africa international and the idea behind it.

   STEVE - Mister Africa International is now the world's fastest growing male international competition and in another 5 years is coined to be amongst the top 5 in the league of Mr World , Mr Earth , manhunt and Mr International. Its the search for Africa's ambassador to the world and you have representatives from not just the African continent but also African communities in other parts of the world eg USA , UK , Spain etc. The winner goes on to raise money for small scale businesses in Africa thereby contributing his own quote to the development of the continent by eliminating poverty which is the main problem facing the African continent ,but also in the process gets to learn about his own inner being and thereby gaining a platform to influence people's thoughts , minds and actions which is the biggest power of them all.

  BOX411 - Why should mr Africa International be held in london, instead of in africa?

  STEVE - London is truly an international city and we were looking for a host city that would have all the cultures in the world , so we could show Africa to the world.

`BOX411 - What possible adjectives would u use to describe a potential mr africa international winner?

  STEVE - A selfless man, a man who will you use platform to create a success story for others. 

  BOX411 - from our observation over time we understand that the names of winners in pageantry males especially. Fades out soon after there contract elapses. Is there any contrast to this view?

  STEVE - I always tell my winners , your success is 100% you , the pageant will do it can during your reign to make you popular but its left for you to carry on with that platform and make yourself an influence after your reign , no one will do that for you. Thats why its essential when picking a winner so make the selection criteria well rounded and not just a 2 hour show. At the house of twitch , our male pageant winners are still heard of even after their reign most of the time , the likes of Adonis O'Holi , Wale Sadiq, Ayotunde Ajiboye , our selection criteria is like no other.

Special thanks to Team WorldcharmingSmart Courage and the House of Twitch for the success of this exclusive interview!
