"This citation from Helping Hand International (HHI) has really given me some inner strength and encouragement to do more as an actor and a Ghanaian".
"This is the FIRST time I am receiving such honour after #BONN came out. It tells me that I haven’t been forgotten, it tells me that people will not just ask for photographs with me and walk away and pretend they don’t no me the next time we meet.
"As a young boy growing up, I wish I would be appreciated more by society and given more love to strengthen me to keep pushing hard".
