What Patoranking's father told him

The singer who said he was excited about the admission got a different response from his father when he broke the news to him via a phone call.

According to the singer, his father said:

“My son, I know this is what you want to further your education at UCC, but you have siblings. It will be nice to have them have a taste of secondary education.”

The Nigerian singer said at that point, he knew he had to man up not just for himself but for his family, which made him venture into music.
