No, there wasn't. I delighted in all of the visit and everything went easily.
As an artist, how might you rate the music business over yonder contrasted and what is reachable in the Nigerian music industry?

We can't think about Nigeria and Duisburg as far as security. There is no security in Nigeria by any means. The main individuals that have security in this nation are lawmakers since they have security men guarding them. The majority are individually in light of the fact that their lives and properties are not secure.

There was nothing of such. Duisburg isn't like Nigeria and nothing I saw there reminded me about Nigeria.

It was somewhat frosty however I was alright. We went arranged in light of the fact that we did inquire about on what the climate resembled before leaving Nigeria. We went there legitimately dressed.
Is there anything you saw in Duisburg that you would love to see recreated in Nigeria?
I would love for everything to be duplicated in Nigeria. The general population in Duisburg are upbeat; they celebrate with you when you are celebrating. For them, it isn't about culture or where you are from.
They have love and regard for each other. In Nigeria, most circumstances it is about Yoruba, Ijaw, Hausa and Igbo and so forth. There is a ton of tribalism and culture segregation.
In some cases, a few people even say it to your face that you are not from their clan so they can't help you, and that is off-base. In the event that we proceed with this, at that point we won't advance as people and as a nation.
