In his words:

"There is no way we want to run; we will all run for death. Where you are going, it will meet you there. There is nowhere to run to. Are you getting ready? Ogogo has gone, and people are saying good things about him; will people say such things about you when you go? Will people gather as they are gathering to honour Ogogo when it's your time? How are you preparing? Most of us are movie makers; we run around for our business."

The actor's message resonated strongly with attendees, touching on themes of purpose, preparation, and the kind of impact a person leaves behind.
