His words:

"I'm the best shoemaker in Nigeria. I'm the only shoemaker in this country that can produce this sole that you are seeing here. And this one is not just mouth. I'm putting down N100,000 now. If you know any shoemaker that can reproduce this sole, tag them in the comment section. Let them produce it, to a video, stitch and duet it and send to me. And I will check. If you can reproduce this sole exactly, the first person that gets it right will get N100,000."
