How did the dream start?
It started back then in school, my friends do call me warri boy, whenever we are in class I always make them laugh then from there my room mate Victor Ubom Victor introduced me to his friend Saka Abdulkadir who happens to be the secretary of Rotaract club. So Saka invited me to perform in one of their fellowship(meeting), after the first performance the president of the club Kabiru Usman started inviting me to feature in every of their major gathering. The first time I performed on a stage was at Rotaract dinner 2010, after that night the journey started.
