“I’m 40 and I’ve been collecting toys since 1995, almost 20 years…”

“It came to a point where I had so much in my house, that I decided to sell it for (nostalgic) people who grew up knowing these characters. I only collect old toys and my favorite piece is a battle damaged version of Chucky. Before, I used to be scared when I looked at it, but I wanted to get over that fright, and now the more fright it gives to people, the more I like it. And if I have a kid, he probably won’t be playing with these toys…probably get him some Legos.”

“I’m doing this part time now, full time I’m a technician for kitchen appliances. I hope to have my own toy shop, and my girlfriend is pretty cool about all this, she doesn’t collect, but its awesome when you have a girlfriend who understands you!”

“What is your happiest memory?”

“When I was coming to Malaysia. Nigeria is actually a great place; I come from Ilorin. The infrastructure is not great, but the people are.”

“Which person do you miss the most?”
“My older sister. Oh she is – she is amazing. They don’t make them like her anymore. She has so much strength, and so much will. She’s gone through so many tough things. She lost a baby last year; had him with her for 8 months and he passed away the day after she gave birth. She has gone through a lot, and still manages to love everyday.”

“How come you’re doing this chili rush challenge?”

“It’s for a good cause actually. This group called ‘Running to Stop the Traffik’ is trying to raise awareness of human trafficking, and I thought I might as well help.”

“Why is human trafficking important to you?”
“People’s rights get violated. There’s a lot of violence involved in it, and as individuals being oppressed, there’s little hope for them to escape. They rely on others to find safety and justice; that’s why the whole program is important to me.”

“I decided to take French because the language sounds refined, sophisticated, and elegant with a wide range of vocabulary…”

When expressing oneself, one can pick so many words to express a particular feeling or emotion. And I wanted a French speaking friend with whom I could practice the language with…turns out eventually that person became my boyfriend!”
