His extensive post reads:

"When I was a kid ,I was far from greatness … I was the odd one ,more like the rejected stone. I was a write off. I remember my mum coming to visit me in boarding school one day and she bursted into tears after seeing the mess I was BUT in all of these she would call me and say “I know you are great ,God told me and many prophets have confirmed it and if God has said it, it will happen."

Furthermore, he shared that she never stopped believing in him:

"I grew up and things got really tough but she never for once stopped telling me “Sanmi , Ogo e ma tan kari aye “ and she will look at me and say “except it’s not GOD that said it” she held on to the prophesy constantly praying ,even when I lost hope she kept #faith and suddenly in 2023 out of nowhere everything changed. Never underestimate the power of a praying mother and this makes me wonder if men and women of my generation can pray as our parents did cos who will stand in the gap for these kids life troubles do not recognize “BAD B*tch” “Genz baddies” “Zaddy” “Big boy” life problems only respond to power."
