In this week's village beauty segment, Zik Press reached out to the winner of the Miss Baluba pageant, Miss Omojaro Ademide. In an exclusive chat with Zik Press correspondent Olayinks Awoyeku, she tells us about herself, her academics as well as her perception of Zik hall.
Zik Press: Welcome to Village Beauty, kindly introduce yourself.
Miss Omojaro: I'm a student of University of Ibadan from the department of Theatre arts. I go by the name Ademide Omojaro popularly known as Dee or athletics.
Zik Press: Miss Dee, what do you do? It is quite obvious that you are a student, but what other things do you venture into?
Miss Omojaro: Okay. I do quite a number of things, I'm a dancer, a hairstylist, an artist, an athlete, a footballer and so on.
Zik Press: You have such a diverse engagement. How do you balance these different pursuits with your academics?
Miss Omojaro: You know there's this catch phrase of when it's time to play, you play and when it's time to be serious, be serious. I just balance them according to my schedule. Although, since I resumed Uni, it's been quite a task.
Zik Press: When you resumed UI, what was the first impression you had about Zik hall?
Miss Omojaro: Hmmm, to be honest, I saw them as razz. And normally I'm not razz but I'm free, so I felt that I think I'll roll better with Zikites.
Zik Press: When you started getting acquainted with Zikites, are there any remarkable things you noticed about them?
Miss Omojaro: Hmm...among the male hostels ,they have this uniqueness, the courage and ability to stand up for one another even among other hostels.
Zik Press: You contested for Miss Baluba, how was the experience like? Also, when you were announced the winner, how did you feel?
Miss Omojaro: The process was smooth as we were provided all we needed. It was fun too cause the instructors weren't mean. When I was announced winner. Being happy was an understatement. If you had seen the video I was grinning from ear to ear.
Zik Press: Wow! That's must have been an exhilarating experience. As we round up, what's is your view about feminism in Nigeria?
Miss Omojaro: My view about feminism in Nigeria is that feminism is a complex issue with various perspectives. While there's growing recognition of the need for gender equality, it faces challenges due to cultural norms, religious beliefs, and patriarchal structures. Nigerian feminists advocate for equal rights and opportunities for all, irrespective of gender, and strive to challenge discriminatory practices.
Zik Press: Thank you for coming
Miss Omojaro: Thank you for having me
