In 2020, he shared his view on childbirth and parenting on his micro blogging site:
"My beef with having kids is that I think having kids is an inherently very selfish thing. Selfish on the part of the parents because you're bringing in a whole human and forcing them to live and participate in life and society. And for what? Bragging rights? Because you feel it's time." [7]
In 2020, he was awarded the Young Trailblazer of the Year by TIERS Nigeria. [8] [5] [9]
In 2021, he was listed among "The 150 Most Interesting Nigerians in Culture in 2019" by RED Media Africa, [10] and was nominated for The Future Awards Africa Prize For Leading Conversation. [11]
