“My role models My mentor as is Tony One Week. He trained me beyond what I learnt in school. Before now, I was looking at Pete Edochie. I saw Edochie in Things Fall Apart and I said this is a man that suggests the future of what I actually want to raise and I came into the industry.
But beyond that, Tony One Week is the first person that put me on national television, the defunct Minaj Broadcasting International (MBI) and he was the person, who really gave me the platform that brought the best out of me. My father is also my role model. So basically, my dad, Peter Edochie and Tony One-Week are the people, who inspire me.”
May his soul rest in perfect peace.
