His full statement reads: “Memories of the multiple times I got rejected, insulted, ridiculed and bullied that ACTING is not my career path and that I’ll never make it in this field that I choose.
‘’I remember the times I almost gave up on myself and my career; I remember crying endlessly and telling myself it’s better to die.
“Memories of the times I walked hours to get on set and rehearsals simply because I had no tfare. I remember when I had to be a camera boy, Wash Oga’s Cars.
“Then the times I finally started getting paid 1k, 2k, 5k for a lead role. I remember receiving the payments with so much joy, happiness and gratitude. This journey of mine from being just a little boy with big dreams to becoming the Superstar that I am today has come with a lot of challenges and Stories untold.
I remember receiving the payments with so much joy, happiness and gratitude. This journey of mine from being just a little boy with big dreams to becoming the Superstar that I am today has come with a lot of challenges and Stories untold.
“I’ll tell the whole story someday to inspire one or two.”
