MEDIC CROWNED MR MASHUJAA 2015, AS THE SECOND EDITION OF MASHUJAA AWARDS COME TO AN END.
Here are the Q&A's from the One on One interview:
TTT: Congratulations for being crowned as Mr. Mashujaa 2015.
Thank you so much.
TTT: Tell us about yourself?
Martin Nga’nga Njagwi is a 23year old
Nurse by profession, former Mr. P.U.E.A 2014/2015 (Presbyterian University of East Africa), an entrepreneur and a creative who loves poetry and
fashion
TTT: What was going through your mind when the judges called
out your name and crowned you Mr. Mashujaa 2015? Can you describe how you
felt at that moment?
I will be honest I was surprised and happy at the same time
this pageant was very competitive, at first I was 50-50 I thought I wouldn’t
beat the other contestants, but through God’s way I emerged the King it’s a
very humbling experience.
TTT: The fashion industry has some biases, people associate it
with the feminine side of gender what is your take on that and If a young
boy/girl wanted to be a model, what would your advice them?
I feel that people should change their attitude towards the
fashion industry, this industry and modelling cuts across board, deliberate
efforts aimed at inculcating certain aspects of fashion in our lives should be
taken as early as possible in people’s lives. I would urge those who would love
to venture into modelling to start out early this will instill the confidence
and courage in strutting the runway.
TTT: As the newly crowned Mr. Mashujaa what do you plan to do in
your position towards changing the society?
As a medic I draw a lot of inspiration from the life of Mother
Teresa of Calcutta, she dedicated part of her life helping people through acts
of charity, I will therefore use this position to champion for better health
care, key among them is behavior change amongst the youth in this era of
HIV/AIDS this will be my key top in my list, I would encourage the use of youth
friendly counselling techniques and call on young people not to shy away from
seeking information about their HIV/AIDS status and their well-being as a
whole, because I believe the youth of this country need to be encouraged to
speak out loudly about serious issues affecting them. I also would like to
champion for the noble cause in the fight against the spread of cancer, as a
health worker I have encountered certain heart breaking incidents where
patients have lost the battle against cancer that is why I choose a costume
with a message geared towards winning this battle during the Mashujaa pageant.
TTT: Social media is slowly impacting on young people’s lives,
in both negative and positive ways, we have had cases where some have being
lured into anti-social vices, what is your take on this issue should parents
discourage young people from utilizing social media?
They are merits and demerits of using social media and as a
fashion enthusiast and a creative I have would like to urge parents not to shy
away from enlightening their children on the dangers of using these platforms
but let them also monitor them closely, young people should spend time on
social media doing things that add value to their lives.
TTT: Tell us that one thing people don’t know about you.
I am an entrepreneur of some sorts, I run a shoe selling
business, I wake up early in the morning head off to Gikomba Market where a buy
shoes in bulk and use my social media platforms to market them, I also write
short stories and do poetry,
TTT: One last word for the youth
I would love to encourage
the youth to follow their dreams, let them spend time discovering their
abilities and talents, because at the end of the day this will go a long way in
shaping their future even after they are out of their parents radar.
Driven by the desire
and passion to think outside the box Martin the newly Crowned King in the
recently concluded Mashujaa 2015 Awards, looks forward to that day when the
youth of Kenya will discover that they have what it takes to change the society
no matter what, but they must do some self-assessment and discover the hide
potential within themselves. The 23year old has already started training his
siblings in various aspects of fashion and modelling. He intends to use his
position as a fashion icon to influence change in the society.
