Speaking during a press conference in Opebi, Lagos, earlier in the week, he narrated his experience:
“I was thoroughly embarrassed in the US a couple of days ago while I was on tour. In New York, the airport cab driver who took me to my hotel; as soon as he discovered I was a Nigerian, he asked, ‘have they found those girls.’ I was so embarrassed as I had nothing to say.
According to the singer, it was a reflection of the fact that indeed a lot was wrong about the image of the country.
Again, it happened in Los Angeles when another cab man asked me the same question. Can you imagine a cab man saying that? It was very embarrassing and I realised that whether we like it or not, wherever we find ourselves in the world, we must defend the image of our country, but we have to start from the very source of this problems.”
