Talk about it all,this good looking dude can't be stopped.Aside from being one of Nollywood fast rising star Oc Ukeje (Okechukwu Chukwudi Ukeje)also got love for fashion.His a very sweet guy and a charmer too "wink"

Introduction
I am an actor, a singer and an events compere...I'm a performing artiste basically.

What inspired you?
I guess I was inspired by the things I could do naturally, effortlessly and by the need to make a more significant contribution to the industry as it stands.

In your own words, what is Fashion?
Fashion is a developed sense of ensemble for personalities, based on their preferences and market trends, but most importantly, based on what is suited to individuals' tastes.

How would you describe your personal style?
I think my personal style is sometimes rigid, sometimes eclectic. There are trends I fancy and there are trends I won't be caught dead in. But I love a healthy wardrobe that allows you experiment as much as is appreciable to the eyes.


Signature style?
I don’t think I have any.

What in a woman's fashion trend confuses you?
I think I'm many times confused by the extreme artificiality that women of today are heavily interested in. After I've been bought over with a good sense of dressing, I'm totally lost when she has every other thing artificial...or when a woman’s ‘dress is way too short from below and way to low from above and yet she has to keep 'pulling up' to cover her frontals and 'pulling down' to cover her legs! Darn! (smiles).

Shopping?
Shopping...yes, I love shopping! I haven't done it in a while though.

Your most worn fragrance?
Good Life by Davidoff.

Style icon?
Err...I'm not sure I have any...


3 things in your closet you cannot do without?
A deodorant, boxer shorts and a toothbrush.

Do you have a style crush on anyone?
Hmm...will I come off gay if I said Eric Arubayi? The dude dresses up, no homo (laughs).seriously though, Genevieve does it for me.

As an actor, what is your dream role?
Hmmm...my dream role...probably a schizophrenic...and if with an actor, with Meryl Streep!

What types of items do you like to save money on?
I like to save money on anything I can save money on!(laughs).

Most men don't really think shoes are relevant. What do you think?
What? How can men think shoes aren't relevant? I love shoes, all colors that'll flatter my dress sense,seriously


Things people do not know about you?
Err...that I bite my nails...that I'm so into tidying, I fold my socks(laughs)

What is your best color and why does it look good on you?
My best color right now has to be purple because it's simply amazing...it's a guaranteed color for anything you want dress up for.

What words do you live by?
There is a place called forward...

Define a fashionable man.
He is the man that knows how to work colors, matching them and his individual style together to fit occasions...and is extremely confident that he catches the right eyes.



What would you never be caught wearing?
A skirt...or a size bigger than my frame...and oh,skinny jeans(laughs)

Being classy is...?
Being classy is being brilliant enough to know how to stand out in your choice of style.
What do you think about fashion in Nigeria?
I think we're amazing with bespoke clothing now. We really have done tremendously, working on our designs and details with finishing. I still think our pieces are a bit expensive for the locals. It's just a thought. (Smiles)

Locally and internationally, who are your most stylish celebs?
Err...locally, I really don't know...oh, there's Yvonne Ekwere. And internationally...none I can think of.

In your own opinion, what makes a woman beautiful?
Her balance of the initial good-looking attraction with some major intellect and a fab sense of humor. She's definitely won me.

What is your nerdiest hobby?
Hmm...Reading...
If you had the chance to meet one person, dead or alive, who would it be?
Martin Luther King Jnr

Three words to describe you.
Great-looking, sensible, driven.

Fashion advice?
The in-thing isn't always going to be the in-thing for you.
