"One of my late father's famous quotes."You can not have depth in anything Without dedication"
I committed to my marriage for 41 years with all the distractions of this world.

I am committed to showing young Nigerians how to never give up on their dreams, no matter what challenges they face.

I have been committed to my Consistency in seeking things that speak to my soul, regardless of enemies and evil interpreters.

I am committed to being the voice of the least favored (voiceless) and fighting injustice in any way I can, even when the people you fight for fight you.

I am committed to always being my authentic self, regardless of people's opinion, because Na only I Waka comes.

My people promise to pour me with gifts, praises, prayers, kisses and kisses ... "
