According to Lawal, he does not have any northern character and speaks the Igbo and Hausa languages fluently.
Lawal's experience with Igbos
When polyglot Adedeji asked Lawal if his community in Anambra is predominantly Hausas, he replied:
"The area we are, there are not much of Hausas. They are mostly Igbos. I'd say that where we are, I think we are very well welcomed..."
During the interview, Lawal said that the Igbo people loved him more when they learnt about his tribe.
"When they found out that I am Hausa, that's when they even loved me the more, because I understand their language as a Hausa man.
"So, they even welcomed me more and they showed love a lot."
The interviewer, stunned, asked Lawal to elaborate on how Igbo showed him love, and he responded:
"Yes, they show love by doing every other thing a brother can do for a brother. Like, they have given me some jobs before."
He recalled how Igbos helped his father.
"And they have helped my dad too in the East, in so many problems.
"They helped him, not looking at his tribe as an Hausa man, they welcomed him and helped him."
Lawal narrated how Chief Osi Izoba, an Igbo man, accommodated his family for over 25 years. He said they did not pay for light, water bills or house rent.
"There was a time he (his dad) was stranded, he doesn't have a house. It's still Igbos that helped him and accommodated him.
"No house rent, no bill. A lot of bills, water bill, light bill, everything was free for us apart from food...For a very long time, from our first born to the last born..."
