His personality and appeal, particularly his huge followership among Millennials and Generation Xers, in addition to his stature in music, all position him favourably as a great influencer for FBNBank. His efforts in that regard have been remarkable. All these make this December a special month for him as he celebrates his 40th birthday, the Ruby Jubilee which is usually associated with the attainment of the milestone from which real life begins.
