He continued, "Even though it has been so many years people are still valuing it years later. It's good and it shows that you have an asset that you can always back up and bank with. Because when you look at 20 years ago, the works you've done and you see that people are using it to express themselves, you'd feel happy. I feel happy. "

Over the past few years, hilarious stickers and memes of the star from his old films have been used widely across social media platforms to add a comic flair to conversations. His funny memes weren't only used by Nigerians, but also in foreign media, especially during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown era.
