"The problem with Nigerian musicians today is that they don’t go through music apprenticeship. Everybody wants to make it in a hurry; it doesn’t work out like that. You cannot become a graduate without going to school; you cannot read and write without learning ABC to Z. You cannot also play music without also knowing the solfa notations – d, r, m, f, s, l, t, d!"

"Time changes, things change and there is nothing one can do about it."

"Life rests on a tripod: the mental, physical and spiritual. Physically, I build my body through exercises. Spiritually, I meditate most of the time and music keeps me company. Mentally, I read a lot and study and I have attained the highest academic degree with a PhD in Architectural Sculpture"

"In philosophy, I always tell people, don’t wait for your destiny to wake you up; wake up your destiny."

"When you water a flower, it will blossom. If you don’t, it will wither. If you exercise your mind, it begins to grow. A man’s brain is like a balloon that expands. It appears that for 80 years, I have not used up to 80 per cent of my brain"
