"You see that man Pete Edochie I love him. I have a lot of love and respect for him, no matter what he does he can't get me angry, no matter what he says, if my father says Yul you are a fool, I say yes sir. He did his best to raise six of us, of course he is not perfect, I don't expect him to be, but I love him. At this age, my problem can't be what my father thinks about my personal decision, anything I want to do as a man in my personal life, I am not a child, I should be able to say this is good for me and thing that is good for me, I go for it. Real men to complain or explain, they face it" he said.
