Paschal Eronmose, GUS N9.5m winner: I’ll pay my tithe but don’t ask me how much

He is eclectic and adventurous. At just 24, he’s ready to dare and conquer. No wonder he emerged as the Ultimate Champion in the recently concluded Gulder Ultimate Search 9.
An avid reader and blogger, Edo State-born Paschal Ojezele Eronmose, who is currently a final year student of Applied Mathematics at University of Benin, here opens up on his winning strategy, experience in the jungle and plans for his new-found fortune. Excerpts:
Growing up
Growing up was not always fun for me. I was always a mischievous person. Most of the problems I had as a child were caused by me. But somehow, I still keep my head straight. I love challenges and adventures. Every little thing is like an adventure for me. So, I take a challenge in its stride as it comes.
Winning strategy
My strategy was to come to the jungle like an underdog, someone nobody would see as a threat, and yet at the end of the day, I would emerge from nowhere to clinch the prize. Obviously, it worked for me because nobody really saw me as a threat, yet I went home with the crown. Definitely I was aware that I was going to win because if I didn’t know, I wouldn’t have participated in the competition in the first place.
