Audience: *****Shouting***** Khami! Khami!! Khami!!!
Khamileon: *****Waving hand****...Thank you! Thank you!!
Styles: Let's get right to it folks...


Styles: HOW ARE YOU DOING MY FRIEND…HOW IS HOLLAND TREATING YOU?
Khamileon: I’ am fine thanks and Holland is great! …A very quiet and peaceful country.

Styles: WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE NEOSCAR AWARD?
Khamileon: I think it is nice, it shows u a different side of folks… Like few people knew ODDA55 is into military stuff.

Styles: HOW DOES IT FEEL TO WIN THE NICEST MEMBER AWARD?
Khamileon: It feels good, and I am really honored.

Styles: YOU COME ACROSS BEING HUMBLE IN YOUR CHARACTER ON NE, ARE YOU HUMBLE IN VERACITY?
Khamileon: U are talking about KHAMILEON and like the reptile, I can be a lot of things Wild, Crazy, Romantic, Bigmouth, But from all these I think I have a genuine likeness for Humans.

Styles: YOU AND BIGTUNES WERE THE ORIGINAL PIMP DON JUAN…HOW DID YOU FEEL WHEN DDU WON OVER YOU TWO?
Khamileon: Now that’s my boy right there! I would have been disappointed if he didn’t win. It was I who actually invited him to join NE, and I did it for just one purpose.. To Spice up the SEX FORUM

Styles: HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE A MOVIE-STAR?
Khamileon: I am not really a big Movie star, cause I have done only six movies. Though I am concentrating more on my music and having the most popular album in Niaja. With the way people are receiving “Indian Love Song” (the video is receiving massive airplay in Naija) I think it is achievable. Though no amount of success or anything in life will ever change me from whom I am. I am a very down to earth fun loving guy, who believes everybody in life is equal. Even the beggar on the street could be me, he didn’t choose to be a beggar, and so I never look down on anybody. I actually feel and think it is a sin to look down on anybody.

Styles: EVER SINCE I’VE SEEN YOU FROM NRC, I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO A MOVIE YOU STARRED IN…I’VE YET TO SEE ANY…WHY?…CAN YOU RECOMMEND A RECENT MOVIE OF YOURS FOR ME TO LOOK FOR?
Khamileon: The reason for this is most online stores are afraid to sell our movies because they feel they don’t have the copyright to do that. Though a few people here has seen some of my movies. Anyway we are doing something about that so before the end of February our movies will be up for sale (online) Our recent movie is called “FROM AMSTERDAM WITH LOVE” It’s a sequel to the popular DAPO JR.. I also had a cameo on Zeb Ejiro’s EXTREME MEASURES and Chico Ejiro’s LOST PASSION. Please don’t watch “FROM AMSTERDAM WITH LOVE” without first seeing DAPO JR, you might not enjoy it!

Styles: WHY DID YOU GUYS MAKE YOUR BASE IN HOLLAND…IS THERE ANY REASON BEHIND THAT ?
Khamileon: Because it is about the most peaceful country on earth. Crime rate is very low, the people are very friendly and we don’t have a first, second or third class citizen. Everybody is equal no matter ur financial status. Everybody has a bicycle including the queen so you cant really show off that you are wealthy (though Nigerians try a bit)

Styles: HOLLAND PERMITS MAURIJUANA…HAVE YOU HAD ANY?
Khamileon: Nope! I don’t drink alcohol or smoke anything. After fifteen years of trying, some peeps still try to make me drink, because they still cant understand why I don’t drink or smoke (Some Nigerians are funny sometimes)

Styles: THE MOVIE STAR PATIENE OKWON-OSOR(not sure if I spelled the last name right)…SHE IS VERY GOOD AT PLAYING A VILLAINOUS MOTHER ROLE…I’VE YET TO SEE HER IN ANY OTHER ROLE…DO YOU THINK SHE CAN DELIVER A STUNNING PERFOMANCE PORTRAYING ANY OTHER ROLE THAN PLAYING A VILLAINEOUS MOTHER.?…pls explain?
Khamileon: You are talking about “PATIENCE OZOKWU” She is superb and one of the top 5 actress we have in Nigeria. As a professional, she can play any role it’s just that producers like giving her the same role. Watch her in FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN 1 & 2 (she will bring you to tears in that movie) Also in OLD SCHOOL she wasn’t a villain in these movies…

Styles: PICK ONE…RITA DOMINIC OR GENEVIEVE NNAJI…PLS EXPLAIN IN DETAIL REASON BEHIND YOUR PICK?…
Khamileon: Definitely Genevieve! Rita Dominic is fast rising, but not as good as Genevieve. I actually interviewed Rita Dominic last month, and she has a lot to reveal (The Interview will be up soon!) Back to your question, Genevieve is what you call a class “A” actress. She can play any role with conviction I have seen lots of foreigners recognize her talent when they watch her movies. I think she has what it takes to break into Hollywood. With a good manager, hard work, and prayers I think that is achievable.

Styles: DO YOU THINK UGE OKOYE CAN RISE TO A LEVEL OF LEADING LADY LIKE OMOTOLA JALADE?…EXPLAIN
Khamileon: Sorry I don’t know who you are talking about here, Maybe you spelled the name wrongly.

Styles: WHAT CAN NIGERIAN MOVIE INDUSTRY DO TO BETTER THEMSELVES?…
Khamileon: First of all I will like to say so little is known about what goes on behind the scene. Like everything else the Nigerian economy tells negatively on the industry. Most Producers/Directors/Marketers/Actors/Actress treats it first as BUSINESS before ENTERTAINMENT. They have to survive first, they have to put food on the table first and this will tell on the production/quality of the movie. Imagine an actor shooting four movies in a month! He has to be running between sets, memorize four scripts. This is an impossible task for a TOM CRUISE but the Naija actor has to do it or face Starvation, Children been thrown out of school. The Industry has given some people that might have been beggars, criminals, Prostitutes, a way to survive. And because they can’t count on the government on anything in Nigeria, they overdo it (Shoot as much movie as they can today, because they don’t know what might happen tomorrow) The Industry gives more jobs to people than any other industry in Nigeria. Right from the Producer to Director, cameraman, soundman, Light man, makeup, Poster/Jacket cover design, printing, Cutting, gumming, Transportation, Advert, refuse collector, Actors.. So because of the industry a lot of people are able to feed. Its yearly turn over exceeds two hundred million dollars. You would think the government will invest on it, but sadly enough as long as it is not OIL in Nigeria, government has no interest. Yet it collects twentytwo thousand naira (tcensor) on any movie released. Every two weeks an average of 50movies is released in Nigeria. Back to your question, everybody in the industry knows all is not well, but what are the options if nobody wants to invest. The options are 1. to stop making movies altogether because They don’t have the funds to shoot a first class movie. Or 2. Invest the little they have and shoot what they can afford. They choose 2. to shoot what they can afford and strange enough more than half of the movies comes out okay. It entertains people and Nigerians (at home) can’t seem to get enough. It makes me sad to see Nigerians (especially in the US) looks at Nigerian movies in the light of Hollywood movies and puts it down. I don’t think in the early days of Hollywood, their movies are half as good as ours.. It’s still a very new industry that will grow with time and it also needs people to invest. You don’t put down a child that is learning to crawl (just because you can walk) you encourage the child. By buying a Nigerian movie or product, you are helping in your own way to improve the situation of things in Nigeria.


Styles: I WENT TO A NIGERIAN MOVIE-STORE OVER HERE IN WASHINGTON DC…AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN FRIEND OF MINE WANTED TO BUY A NIGERIAN MOVIE? HOWEVER THERE WAS NO CLUE OF A MOVIE WORTH BUYING…THERE WERE NO BRIEF SUMMARIES OF ALL THE MOVIES ON SHELF…WHY DON’T MOST NIGERIAN MOVIES BRIEFLY SUMARIZE THEIR MOVIE ON THE COVER CASE OF THEIR MOVIE LIKE AMERICAN MOVIES?…DON’T YOU THINK THEY SHOULD BE PUTTING THE LEADING ACTORS AND ACTRESSES ON THE COVER CASE TOO?…
Khamileon: They used to do it, and I think some still do it. At least we always have the synopsis of our movies on the jacket covers. For those that don’t do it anymore, I think there are lots of factors responsible for that (I would rather not go into it after the long one up there)

Styles: PICK A GIRL ON NE, YOU WILL LIKE TO DATE OR GO OUT ON A DATE WITH?
Khamileon: Definitely LAW STUDENT! She is totally different from anything I have seen; She is wild, mischievous, crazy yet intelligent. I can get inspiration from just watching her.. I mean what can you say about a girl who is not shy to talk about her parents getting their groove on! Derives pleasure from watching her mum cry (cause she shaves her hair) Yes I do read her KUNFUZED stuff cause I love the way she writes. There is something about the way she calls her self a “lesbo bish” I think I can sit a whole day just watching her like a movie (without saying a word) Maybe that’s what’s going to happen if I ever get to meet her in person. Yes I like LS a lot cause you never know what to expect from her. (To me she is like the male version of KAMI & DDU) Oh yes before I forget, she is a stunning beauty!

Styles: IF ANJA, LAWSTUDENT, UNC, UCHE AND CSC WENT OUT ON AN ELIMIDATE WITH YOU, WHO WOULD YOU PROBABLY THINK WILL COME OUT ON TOP?…
Khamileon:I think with Anja it will be romantic and beautiful. With UNC, her appearance will first throw me off guard. Then as we get to know each other I will find out she is a core naija babe. Then there wont be any need to pose to her I will just make Banga soup and starch for her. It will be a nice date. A date with UCHE will also be nice and enjoyable I won’t pose for her knowing both of us love the Comedy of Chief Zebrudaya. I think a date with her will be lots of fun. CSC Hmmm!! Both of us will try our best to be polite and not show our true colors on the first date unless I am lucky enough to catch one of SOLITUDE’S parties.. That would loosen us up and before u know it we are chatting away like we are made for each other. LAWSTUDENT I will feel like I have know her for ever. I think a date with her will be superb. You know just like watching a movie you really like. Like I said before I can get a lot of inspiration just from being with her. I can write a Poem, Song, Story.. Now being that all dem ladies have different traits, which would, I say come out top? (Since I know I will enjoy my time with every one of them) I will leave you pick.

Styles: TALK TO ME ABOUT YOUR MOST-MEMORABLE DAY ON EARTH SO FAR?
Khamileon:The day we premiered our movie DAPO JUNIOR at a cinema here in Holland. We did it Hollywood style. Red carpet Stretch limos dropping everybody off, Dutch press and all that. We used the biggest hall (500 seats) every body paid 10 bucks each to see the movie. The hall was filled; about 75Nigerians/Africans and the rest were Dutch people. Then we had an after party.. We were in the press the next day, It was so beautiful!


Styles: I LOVE SHAN GEORGE YORUBA ACCENT…CAN YOU RELAY THIS TO HER?
Khamileon: I will relay your message, though I’ve already told her that last month (She yarning Yoruba with Babasuwe was maad funny)

Styles: TELL ME WHAT CAN BE DONE TO PROGRESS NIGERIA SITUATION?
Khamileon: After a while you start thinking deep. Well my friend told me once that you have to look at certain things SPIRITUALLY… Look at Ethiopia.. The draught..no matter what, the soil just refuse to produce crop. My friend told me that he thinks Ethiopia’s soil is SPIRITUALLY cursed. And Nigeria, he told me that the country is cursed with GREED. And when you think about the amount of HUMAN GREED that goes on in Nigeria and among Nigerians you’ll start believing that it is a cursed land. From Independence till date more than 50billion dollars has been stolen from one country. Some steal five billion dollars while people are starving to death. I ask you what do you need five billion dollars for? Your generation can never finish that amount of money! Why not steal a hundred million if it is in your gene to steal? The only reason why that country is still functioning is because it is richly blessed with minerals. While everybody will laugh at this, I honestly think Nigeria’s solution is SPIRITUAL. Thank God for few people like Fr.Charles Akwe, Past. Enoch Adeboye and the rest who are giving hopes to the people.

Styles: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF DX…PLS EXPLAIN IN 5 SENTENCES?
Khamileon: She comes off as someone who is not nice. Who is sarcastic! Very opinionated, yet she is actually a very sweet person. I was amazed how she bowed out of NR as moderator; lots of peeps would die for that position yet she decides to leave. It takes a person of integrity to leave an enviably position because of how she feels. I admire her a lot.(And yes I exceed ur 5 sentence)

Styles: HAVE YOU FCUK UNDER INFLUENCE OF MARIJUANA BEFORE?..IF YES, EXPLAIN…IF NO, THEN I RECOMMEND YOU DO IT…
Khamileon: I don’t drink alcohol or smoke.. but I have made love using champagne (with lil or no alcoholic content)..She wants it so bad so I did it and it was beautiful. I am not uptight when it comes to Lovemaking; it’s my joy to see a girl enjoy all the pleasures of lovemaking. A guy will always cum, so why not go the extra mile if it will make her cum. There’s nothing as beautiful as making a girl cum once, two or three times.. She will lie there weak till daybreak lol

Styles: GIVE BRIEF ADVICE ABOUT LIFE…
Khamileon: Treat everybody equal; don’t think you are better than anybody because that is illusion. We all are the same spirit souls in the eyes of our creator So treat others as you want them to treat you.


Styles: PLS RANT ON ABOUT SOMETHING/ANYTHING/WHATEVER…IN 10 SENTENCES…
Khamileon: I love my NE family. Kamikaze is one funny dude. Hope to work with Bigtunes someday. I am so happy that Mav & Jenfri got married. I wonder what happened to Chichi. I find myself admiring and liking PT everyday. I wonder if Mz America is as good in bed as she sounds. I love to read Zebrudaya’s post. Venice is ma girl any day. Morokoyo & Kamikaze always cracks me up.

Styles: Thank you
Khamileon: You are welcome!

Styles: WOW, the most detailed interview yet...this is how it should be done...thanks to my audience for tunning in and be looking forward for another detailed interview session with THE STYLESMATIC-SHOW...CSC will be on the high table...
