Mr Ejikeme stated that due to the battles he was facing back then, his mother advised him not to stop making music.
He told Channels Television:
"I'm a singer as you people are seeing me. Forget about the Okada issue that they are talking about. In 1996, I went to a singing competition in Oyo state and I came first. I won the singing competition in 1996. They gave me the money that I won and used it to buy musical instruments in 1996. Since then, they began to fight me here and there. My mother said I should not do music again. The same thing is happening to my daughter now."
Mr Ejikeme said Nigeria should not be a talent killer, insisting that his daughter's JAMB result is authentic.
Meanwhile, JAMB has withdrawn the result and banned Mmesoma for three years as a punishment for allegedly forging the result.
The examination body insisted the girl changed her result from 249 to 362.
