Q: Fullname.

A: Oni Joanna Olorunfunmbi.

Q: Nickname/Pen name/Pseudonym.

A: I actually have a lot... For Wattpad, I guess I'll just go with Funmbi buh for my other works like my poems, I use Sardonyx.

Q: Okayyy. Age/Birthdate.

A: December 10, 2003.

Q: Nationality and State of Origin.

A: Nigerian, I'm from Ogun state.

Q: Where do you reside?

A: Ijebu Ode, Ogun State.

Q: When did you start writing in general?

A: Ok, I guess I was still in primary school then... my younger sister and I loved acting and so I would be the one to pen down the scripts...

Q: Cool. Why do you write?

A: Writing at first for me was a hobby but now it's something I do whenever I want to run away from my problems or whenever I want to tell a story of what I had once gone through.

Q: Hmmmm. When did you start writing on wattpad?

A: Early this year but I always never published any😂. My first published book on Wattpad is currently still ongoing.

Q: 😂😂okay. So... what's your first ever story?

A: I can't remember my first ever story but my first ever completed story was "Teenager's Mistake" which I guess if I remember vividly, I completed in JSS2 but unfortunately, I misplaced the book I wrote it in 😂... I was so pained that I cried for days😂...

Q: We always misplaced the books😂😂 Your favorite story out of all the stories you've written.

A: That would be Scarred, which I haven't published on Wattpad... That's my next story... I love it so much because I can relate so much to the MC... I also love In Love with my Bestie, my ongoing story because that was me at some point...

Q: Okayyy. Your book - what inspired it?

A: Like I said earlier, that was me at some point and I just felt that putting it into writing tho not exactly in the same way would be nice.

Q: Okay. Cool. Your favorite character in any of your books and which of them do you love the most? Who can you relate with most?

A: In ILWMB, I don't think I have a fav character... I love all of them so much, it will be difficult to pick... I actually relate to Jessica the most tho cos she would go through what I went through back in school... For my other books, I dunno yet really...

Q: Ouuukayyy. What inspires you to write?

A: My feelings inspire me to write... Also, things going on around me that I feel are good or wrong also inspire me to write... Also, my daily experiences... I'm a person with wide a imagination so I guess whenever I'm not doing anything, I'll just sit down and put up a story in my head.

Q: Relateable. What do you hope to achieve through your writing?

A: I want to be heard... I want to reach out to the world about things that most people ignore... I want my writing to be a voice for others who are scared to speak out.

Q: Hmmm... okayyy. Do you have any favorite Writers on wattpad and non-wattpad writers? Why'd you like them?

A: My Favorite Wattpad writers are a lot... But the most favorite amongst them should be Rihanna Adedeji, Iyanuoluwa-Temi, Lovetori and Dheenmah...
My favorite non Wattpad writer should be Chimamanda Adichie

I feel like I can connect a lot with their books and that makes me love them all the more.

C: Okayyy. I guess we all love these writers🌚

C: Ikr✨

Q: Any favorite wattpad books and non-wattpad books?

A: My favorite wattpad book should be Perfectly Imperfect by Rihanna Adedeji...

Q: How do you cope with writer's block?

A: I read books to gain inspiration... I also try to sort out my feelings.
