According to him, it was not his desire to be ordained but his bishop told him that God had directed him to doing it.
Speaking on an interview he said
“I’m also an ordained reverend, a pastor so I get invitations to minister in churches both within and outside Nigeria. I didn’t set out to be an ordained reverend. My bishop probably got inspired by God to ordain me. I worship with power line bible church under bishop Lawrence Osagie, and he ordained me in 2012. So when the offer came from my bishop to ordain me, I didn’t reject it. I took it whole heartedly and I get excited when I have opportunity to speak to people, inspire them and draw them closer to God.”
