He wrote on his facebook wall: "My Golden birthday celebration was planned to be a five-day event. Day 5 (Tuesday January 6) was a visit to an orphanage home, the photo of the visit and gifts are not available to the public, bear with me. The 4th day (Wednesday January 7) was a visit to a primary school to make presentation of 50 books. Day 3 (Thursday January 8) was a visit to a secondary school to make presentation of yet another 50 books. (may be the school owner who is my friend on FB will post the photos, since I don't have it). Day 2 (Friday January 9) was a visit to a home of people with disability to make presentation of wheel chairs, it was meant to be 5, but at that moment I could only afford the cash for 4. Day 5 was the commissioning of CRIMMD BOOKSTORE, strictly for books by Nigerian authors. it was commissioned by Chief sir Alex Akinyele"
