On how he felt when he came of age and learnt his full name, the young man said he only realised his name sounded like a question when he got into the university. He told TheTalk.NG:
“As hard as it might be to believe, I actually only realized my name sounded like a question when I got into university. And as regards feelings, it sort of came as a way to constantly ensure I’m always on my feet making sure the answer to that question is a “Yes” and well here we are, everyday it’s looking more and more that the answer would be a definite YES.”
