In his words:
“E no go better for anybody wey say he wan join Hallelujah challenge, e no go beta for you and Hallelujah challenge! Which stupid prayer dey on? God go punish you! Wetin concern me with Hallelujah challenge? Since they’ve been challenging Hallelujah what has happened in Nigeria? No carry that nonsense come meet me o, just keep it away from here.

Una no dey like hear word.”
