“I’m just someone that has perseverance. I don’t give up. I finished my final year exams and in about two weeks, I packed my bags and came to Lagos. I was just waiting for school to finish.

“My mother wanted me to go to school and I gave her the certificate and took a walk. So, I came to Lagos, not knowing anybody.

“I gathered the money I made from my music in Jos and used it to pay for house rent and started life. I would be at home for one week atimes, I won’t go out because I didn’t know anybody in Lagos.

“I just had that drive, that belief that one day, it would happen. I didn’t know how it would happen but today that is how it is.

“For me, I just feel that every youth should keep doing what they know how to do best and stay focus. That’s why I have three things as my mantra – You gotta believe in God, number two, believe in yourself and number three, you die put”.
