They were not in the know of what we are capable of. If they were, my guy no go join for the competition. But, i guess they underestimated our abilities. Congratulations nnam
Arrrrgggh! This is not a hard competition naa. He just needed to do the usual eating. It wasn’t a big deal i guess
He was just being himself. It’s a normal thing for us.
