According to Okey, “The reason I do a tour in Canada is to be close to my wife and kids since they live there.

“Of course, my family wants me to be with them every day and they always express that. But they also understand that I need to focus on the demands of my job.

“Do not forget that they come to Nigeria as well. I don’t announce it whenever they visit.”
