right now I’m overwhelmed, over-excited,
over-elated and over-grateful, In short I’m
over ‘all of the above’ (laughs).
‘(sings) …right now I dey feel like Esama
oooo. On a serious note, I’m very very
humbled and extremely grateful for this
honour from this great Institution. From the
bottom of my heart, I say a huge, mighty
thank you to the Almighty God for making this
day happen. When they told me this, I thought
I was being punk’d! Even when I came here, I
still thought I was being punk’d. Up till now,
I’m still in shock. So I want to say thank you
to the honourable Chancellor Chief Gabriel
Igbinedion, I want to thank the deputy-
chancellor, Chief Lucky Igbinedion.
‘I want to say thank you to the Pro-Chancellor
and Professor Emeritus, Oluwole Akande. I
want to say a big thank you to all the
governing council of Igbinedion University, the
senate, academic and non-academic staff.
‘I really appreciate this honour, mere words
cannot explain what I’m feeling right now,
mere words cannot describe how I’m feeling
right now.
‘This conferment of this honorary degree has
renewed my zeal to work harder and maintain
standards by which this great institution has
recognised me, and it’s made me resolve to
work harder to be a good ambassador of
Igbinedion University.
‘It’s also funny how this very day, Igbinedion
University has inaugurated the Centre for
Corporate and Peace Studies and as you all
know, for the past 2 years, I’ve been involved
in campaigning for ‘Vote Not Fight: Election
no be war’. Please permit me to express my
eagerness to work with Igbinedion University
towards achieving the set goals of peace and
conflict resolution.
‘I also want to use this opportunity to say I’ll
start a legacy program at Igbinedion
university and it’s solely going to be based
on music, upcoming artists.
‘I don’t really know how to give speeches, so
once again I say a big thank you to Igbinedion
University, Okada. One Love, One Love, One
Love!
‘I’ll use this opportunity to ask the youths of
Edo state to shun violence during elections.
I’m using this opportunity to launch the ‘Vote
Not Fight’ campaign in Edo State towards the
next gubernatorial elections. I want you guys
to maintain your heads and don’t allow
anybody use you for violence during this
elections.’

A building collapsed at the early hours of Sunday at about  3am  at Egbu road just opposite the police station at Fire Service in Owerri. According to reports about 6 people were rescued alive while about 4 people are feared dead. I have videos of were dead bodies are been pulled out. The governor came around to inspect the Collapsed Building and he directed that the old building beside it with a green roof should be demolished also because it's owned by same owner of the Collapsed Building since that same building has already been marked by OCDA as a building dat wud also collapsed soon.
