The Anambra prophet had suffered backlashes from social media users overtime about his grammar. The ‘Powers’ crooner however responded to criticism saying,

In countries with educated populations, they have the ability to solve their own problems. However, here in Nigeria, being able to speak English fluently and possessing a certificate obtained through monetary means does not equate to true education.
