I don’t make people feel like they need me, even when you come to me for something. I came from a very poor home. I don’t want to go back to poverty. I was born in my hometown, in Okija, Anambra state,” he said.

“But I grew up in Mushi, Lagos from where I moved to Okota, Isolo because I schooled in Apata Memorial. I’m a first child. My dad, when he started making money, he spent a lot on me to go to school.

“But he was confused too. Today it’s about being a doctor. Tomorrow, it’s the lawyer. You know how parents can be. All my life, I wanted to travel. I even made some moves that got me arrested and jailed. 

“They locked me up. Some Ibadan boys sold me a fake EEC passport. I was moving with my friends. We’ve done different things to get out of the country, thinking, if you’re in London or America, you’ve made it.

“He wanted and expected a lot from me. He was disappointed in me. No matter what I studied, I just wanted to have a certificate. I followed my uncle’s advice but it wasn’t what my father wanted. Today, he’s a happy man.”
