What a man! What a worthy contributor to the Nigerian art space! What a loyal, eloquent patriot!

May God continue to Nigeria progressive people like this whilst reducing the number of negative and evil minded people.

I can only think of two reasons why you do not know him, either you are ignorant or very young. Hope its the later. All you had to do was keep quiet instead of showcasing your deficiencies.
