Savage, Banky W, Toolz, Zainab Balogun and more. See the interview with Toolz and Banky W after the cut...
Growing up mainly in the UK, she attended boarding school in Bournemouth and finished her secondary school in London. Her decision to return back home was partly hers and that of her parents. Tolu Oniru mostly known as TOOLZ in the entertainment industry is one woman who has had a spiralling romance with success since relocating to Nigeria. Blanck got in bed with Toolz and made her spill on building her self-esteem, wedding bells and some low down details, Toolz takes it to church.
How would you rate you confidence level
now… was there a time you felt insecure about yourself?
Pretty high now, but I'm only human, so
it does change. My confidence level is often intertwined with how successful I
am at work, and how well my personal life is going. If I'm working hard, seeing
results and happy with my personal life, my confidence is sky high; but when
things don’t work as smoothly as I wish they would it dampens my confidence but
then I know it’s something that happens to everyone really.
We know you are in love with someone,
should we be expecting wedding bells soon?
I always say God's timing is the best and
marriage isn't something I take lightly. I think a lot of people nowadays get
married for the wrong reasons, which is probably why the divorce rate is so high
now. Having said that, I do want to settle down soon, but I don't know if I'll
make a huge announcement when I decide to get married”.
Taking the 100 questions challenge, Toolz
also spills bucket loads of secrets.

Banky W interview
With a larger than life personality and
brand, Bankole Wellington has continued to push the boundaries and has shown
that when it comes to work, one is only as good as his last job. Taking extra
courses in film making and production, he talks to blanck about his future
plans, falling in love, getting heart broken and breaking peoples’ heart in
return.
“It’s important to constantly grow; to
become bigger and better, to expand, and to broaden your horizons,” he said,
his unavailability to meet in person, a testament to his brand new and choked
schedule.
Outside music, he faces roadblocks as
well. He is constantly in the gossip rounds about his romantic life, a
formidable distraction in Nigeria’s powerful, overwhelming, trash-talking
blogosphere. On the matter, he says rather diplomatically, “There are good and
bad women in every corner of the globe. I’ve had similar experiences on both
sides; I’ve had my heart broken and I’ve broken hearts. One day I’ll figure it
out, settle down, and get married. Until then, I guess I’m learning from all
these experiences and trying to make myself a better man.”
