Enugu , Rosary High sch Awgu , Ovim girls , Sedess Oghe etc to bring invitations to parties or association events all wanted to talk with him even if he wasn't the person to receive the invitations! . The SP was popular in all the female schools who 'crushed on' him and I suppose he knew but it didn’t bother him…..
