‘I’m Not As Crazy As People Think I Am’

Image
Gabriel Amanyi is very different from his alter ego Terry G or Gzus as he likes to be called these days. The popular musician and producer who recently released his fourth album ‘Book of Ginger’ is in all ramifications an energetic entertainer and at the same can be as calm as a toad in the sun. The Benue State-born performer talks to Naijapals.com about the changes in his life. You’ve been quiet for a while. Why’s that? I decided to lay low for a while because I now have a kid. I’m also into a few businesses that at the time needed my attention. I opened a water company called REX Water. The truth is, I now have more responsibilities, which I need to concentrate on. It’s not like those days when I used to go for shows on a regular. I can’t depend on music money alone; so, other businesses and my son are other responsibilities that now have my attention. You’ve also changed your looks and toned down on your stagecraft? That is life for you. There is time for everything. Maybe I’m tire...

My Life Ambition Was To Win Gulder Ultimate Search And I Did It ––Dennis Okike

Image
29yrs old Dennis Okike is a multi-millionaire today and the proud owner of a brand new SUV, courtesy of his participation in the just concluded Gulder Ultimate Search, 2013 edition. He speaks with Punch on the show, his experiences and how it took him three years to emerge the Ultimate Man. Enjoy... Why did you decide to go in for Gulder Ultimate Search 10? I had the craving to be a part of the show. I saw myself as being an Ultimate Man someday. I have always had the dream. My friend, Uche Nwaezeapu, won the GUS in 2006. He wasn’t as athletic as I was back then. He was just the guy next door and didn’t participate in any sports while we were in school. Now, I started seeing him on TV and he became the winner. So I felt if Uche could win, I could as well. I prayed about it and from that day, I started working towards it... So this wasn’t your first time of trying to be a part of the show? No. this was actually the third time. The first time, I didn’t make the preliminari...
