In any case, now, I arrange and measure the advantages and disadvantages before leaving on any venture in light of the fact that one is not developing any more youthful. What's more, regarding my wellbeing, I was down once in a while prior and I have been dealing with the emergency and progressing.

Not at all like before when I used to eat everything, I simply purchase anything and put into my mouth, yet I can't do that now.

I'm curently taking a shot at another collection that has been waiting for some time now as a result of a few diversions. Mind you, it is a gospel collection and it will turn out soon. I am taking a shot at it. It must be discharged.
Why gospel?
Around five years prior, my administrator, maker and others needed me to play gospel music yet I was not prepared then, on the grounds that the time was not ready. Be that as it may, now, the time is ready and I am doing it.
Things being what they are, who touched you?
The holy messenger.
Which holy messenger?
It's God's holy messenger. You know, we people, after we may have went through good and bad times and we all of a sudden understand that there is a man who remained by us through thick and slight, which is God. We have practically no decision than to swing to Him in requests to God and sing commendations to Him.
It is safe to say that you are changing to gospel on the grounds that the more youthful ones have practically assumed control over the music business?
No, I must be thankful to God. Thinking once again from when my child had a mishap, and God and individuals went to my guide, on the off chance that he had passed on or the circumstance turned out to be more terrible, what might I be stating at this point? I ought not just be advised to clutch God's piece of clothing additionally His feet.
You are currently going into gospel music full time?
Yes, I'm doing gospel full time. This time around I'm not taking shortcuts.
What happens to your old melodies and exhibitions?
I am as yet performing and my old melodies were never profane; they are helpful tunes and they are evergreen.
It is safe to say that you are going into the service completely?
No. In any case, on the off chance that I hear the call and the need emerges, I will answer the call.
At the point when are you discharging your gospel collection?
Very soon, work has started on it and it will be discharged soon.
With drop in records deals, how would you plan to market it?
A decent item advertises itself and I know this will offer on the grounds that it's for God. I don't know why individuals say records no more offer, I know a companion that purchased (Korede Bello's) Godwin three times. In this way, when a collection is great, it will offer. Records still offer, it's just that privateers devour it, however great records still offer.
Are the tunes in the collection psalms or your own piece?
My tunes are close to home arrangements, with the touch of God. I have a great deal of melodies that I have made for the collection and more are as yet coming.
Is it accurate to say that you are highlighting different artistes in the collection?
Not yet, but rather I may include Olamide as "insane" as he may be.
Olamide in a gospel collection?
Yes, the late Kefee highlighted Timaya in "Kokoroko" and many people did not even realize that the collection was gospel until she began singing it in chapels. In this way, what is important is the message not the artiste.
Why did it take you so long to find gospel?
It's never past the point of no return for God. Concerning me, it's self-acknowledgment.
Which of your known melodies would you say addresses the social issues in Nigeria?
I will say "Elenuwa" yet it is not as well known as 'Oko Mi Ye'. The tune says in the times of my dad, things were less demanding however take a gander at what the world has gotten to be. Life has gone haywire. In this way, that is an in number tune. Be that as it may, now I am going into gospel. I trust that with God, everything is conceivable.
You were into style at once, would you say you weren't?
I was into samba wears. I was utilizing African materials to make men's wear. I began from the men on the grounds that it is less demanding to dress men than to dress ladies. I confined it into African fabrics. I was enamored with Ankara and Aso Oke. I had my fingers on an excess of pies. I had diversions. I went to the studio and I was dealing with my gospel collection. I additionally voyaged a great deal out of the nation. I was searching for more experience and I was additionally attempting to hotspot for things that I could do.
You were likewise truly included in political battles prompting the 2015 decisions, would you say you are presently a lawmaker?
Yes, without precedent for my state, the representative's seat was zoned to my supporters. It was all active deck for me. To God be the superbness, he won. I don't put my hand in anything that fizzles. All over the place they turned, I was there.
I got a few symbols for the walk and we went to all the 25 Neighborhood Government Territories to battle for him. Prior to his entry, our own was to sharpen the group of onlookers. It was amazing! I took Ras Kimono, Orits Wiliki, Honest Man and Kimono was significantly more well known than any other person. Kimono was just about mobbed at each area that we went. It was an immense ordeal and it contributed a ton to the example of overcoming adversity.
There is a furious discussion on how artistes put forth a concentrated effort to political crusades. Should lawmakers who need to influence on their notoriety simply utilize them or would it be a good idea for them to be in favor of the general population? Should they interest for good administration?
We did that in Delta. We said that everything that the administration guaranteed, he would satisfy. In the event that he fizzles, we would be the same individuals who might accumulate individuals to come and ask him for what good reason he has neglected to experience his guarantees and I believe that is the manner by which it ought to be. Individuals ought not simply concentrate all alone intrigues that 'well, we have been paid, why if we give it a second thought'. Performers ought to be in favor of the general population not lawmakers. The individuals who bring sides with legislators are taking the wrong approach and it isn't right.
You are currently a law understudy, though you are likewise keen on theater, music, design and human rights, what number of more things would you say you are included with?
There are two things in charge of my contemplating law. My late father needed me to peruse law, and I like the energy of knowing my rights and knowing a few things that could ensure me. In this way, it is a blend of two things. I need to satisfy my dad wherever he is in paradise. I needed to broaden my own degree also. I may not rehearse but rather toward the day's end, I would have had the information and I will know how to make great utilization of it.
Why not veer into copyright or excitement law?
Yes, the excellence of it is you can choose to work in surgery, after you have concentrated on general drug. That is the thing that I will do in the long run. I will later practice
