Don funky is one of the very few promising prospect we have in the entertainment industry at present, he is the jovial type that can make audience laugh off their ribs as he dexterously mixes anchoring events with fusion of comedy as an interlude. Damilola Towobola, caught up with him in an event and he was just on point. Enjoy the excerpt.

Don Funky is gradually becoming a household name; can we get to know events you have anchored so far?

I have participated in many class events and “bend down select” events…laughs, (which M.C fit boast say, he no do bend down select show, make he raise up him hand). hmmm, you know, I cannot actually remember all since am not an individual that only anchors one show in a year, I participated in 24 hours with 9ice in Ibadan, I am the official M.C of ladies Night in Millennium suites and Perfect garden which holds every Wednesday, I anchored Rhythm Children’s day and many more. If you insist I have to mention everything, you would sleep and wake up and I would keep on mentioning events I have been to.

Can we get to know the Challenges so far?

If you see a man that says he does not have challenges in life, if you can run please don’t hesitate, he or she must be a living corpse…imagine, even President Goodluck Jonathan that spends millions to eat in a day, has Boko Haram challenges on his neck. The challenges I have so far is trying to be on top of my game as the most funkiest.

I don’t have a role model but I have those I admire, people like A.Y, I go die, Gordon etc. It’s not as if I photocopy them but don’t tell my fans, I love their style. Did I just mention “I love their style?” (Laughs)

What advice do you have for those who feel like doing what u do?

They should believe in themselves and keep working hard, they should have the mindset that they are the best the world has ever seen.

What should people expect from Don Funky soonest?

I have a plan of coming up with a television program, so I want you all to fold your arms and expect to see this on your T. V screen soon. I don’t want you to ask for the name of the program yet because you people, the media seems to be too inquisitive (Una for dey wear police Uniform, only thing be say I no go give you 20 naira). Don’t mind me as we were saying the program would stun Nigerians when it’s on T.V, so you should expect the very best of Don Funky.

What do you set to achieve soonest?

I got a lot on my mind…if I were asked this within my committee of friends, I would stand up, beat my chest and say that I would outwit Basket Mouth any day anytime… (Laughs), Basket Mouth is someone I also respect. “Bros Akpos, I dey hail o”. Basically, what I set out to achieve soonest is beating the very best in the industry and becoming the best.
