Joshua SelmanHOST
Do you know why it works? Through that strategy, you have raised billionaires consistently because it said the things that thou has seen among many brethren, commit thou to faithful men who will commit it to others.

Ndukwe OnuohaHOST
So for those
Cheta NwanzeHOST
of you who are not Igbo, Abia State's Ubingua is like the biggest sector segment.

What?
Ndukwe OnuohaHOST

FaveGUEST
I feel like as an artist, you should just make music that feels right to you.
FaveGUEST
Because it's not by speaking Pidgin, it's not by singing in Yoruba, it's not by singing in Igbo, it's not by dressing a certain way for a certain culture or, you know, group of people to, for, so you can appeal to a group of people.
FaveGUEST

Joshua SelmanHOST
There are people who hear that language.
Joshua SelmanHOST
when you speak their language.
Joshua SelmanHOST
If I say stand up in Igbo and someone is not Igbo, he will be seated because it's not his language and he's not been trained to learn it.
Joshua SelmanHOST
Excellence is like that.

Excellence has a language that says come to me and those who are excellent hear that language and they will answer it.
