No one.

You released your music album recently, what is your favourite song in your album?

My favourite song is Anu Oluwa. It means God’s mercy. God has been merciful to me. It’s been said in the Scriptures that it is by His mercy that we are not consumed (Lam. 3:23) So I don’t take God’s mercy for granted over every areas of my life, my family and all my loved ones. God has been keeping us by His mercy.

Yes, I did by the inspiration of the Almighty God.

As A Believer in the New Nigeria, what are your perspectives about the New Nigeria and Nigerians in the next 10 years?

I see a radical change happening in our country . In the next 10 years, I can see new roads, schools and I can see our governments investing positively in the lives of every Nigerians. Our economy is also destined for greater heights in years to come. There is definitely a drastic change in the horizon.

Nigeria is one of the countries tagged as “419ers,” what advice do you have for the Nigerian Government to curb the menace and alternative ways for the Nigerian youths

My advice to the government is that they should invest in the lives of the youths. No one wants to do crime but there are prevailing situations pushing a lot of our youths into cases like Yahoo Yahoo and some other vices. When there are jobs provided, people will detest crimes. I want the youths also to look inward, look within themselves and see what they can do for themselves rather than waiting for the government. Personal responsibility is the key to development.

What advice do you have for African youths looking to engage their passions

Persistence is the key word here. They need to persist in what they are doing. They also need to believe that their passions can take them to greater heights in life with a lot of hardwork and persistence. They also need to put their absolute trust in god because it is Him that can lift man up. He is the only one that can help you become whatever you want to become in life.

Your advice to the youths

Be focused in life. Don’t be distracted by things around you. Set a goal of what you want to become in life and pursue it with all your might.

Believe in your dreams and watch the company you keep because the company you keep will either make or mar your destiny.
