I have my own way to stay focused. I work out every day. I exercise. I swim. I meditate. I breathe.

I have stopped waiting on our leaders. We have been forced to fear the system. But unless we change our ways and the way we see each other, we won't move forward.

I hope that what I am today is of positive benefit to other people.

My heart's desire is to be recognised in Nigeria.
