All his children are studying in the United Kingdom. As per the Daily Trust, the comedian said that he moved them to study in the UK because Nigerian boarding schools have a normalised culture of bullying.

My kids don’t live in the country (Nigeria) anymore. They have been in the UK for two years now. It started by accident; my first son has been there since 2021 in a boarding house. So I decided that my kid needs to go boarding but not in Nigeria because the educational system has accepted bullying.
