Your job is what you do to earn a living, but your work is the full expression of your design or gift. You cannot retire from being yourself, but you can retire from a job." Tribune Online (15 September 2019) "I have never been someone who is easily satisfied with achievements. In fact, once I get something done, I move on quickly to ask God what next. That attitude has been responsible for where I am today." Already on page "I will not tell my wife to leave music to be a housewife because at the end of the day, life is about fulfilment and that can only happen when dreams are achieved. If your spouse is not fulfilled, she will not be happy and that can be a problem in your marriage." Punch Newspapers (7 April 2019) "It is people. I am inspired by the needs in society; whenever I look at what obtains in society and I see the decadence." Punch Newspapers (19 May 2024) "The way one dresses is the way one will be addressed. One’s dressing speaks a lot about how one sees oneself. If one sees oneself as a nobody, one can just dress anyhow... If one sees oneself as having an assignment, one will always want to look the part. One doesn’t have to look shabby to preach a faith-based message. And, that has always been my modus operandi." Tribune Online (5 January 2026) "All the days of my life, I'll praise you. Everything that I have, na You gave to me. Baba Lord, I say for Your love I'm grateful."
