According to Uche, who described his father as a rigorous man who made sure his kids succeeded: "Isn't it funny how we felt the exact opposite way when we were growing up? Back then, we hated our dads because they wouldn't allow us to endanger our careers and lives in the name of having fun.

"We thought they were the problem, and we grew up to realise that we were the problem and we needed our asses kicked. Thanks for kicking my ass when you had to, dad. I'm glad I grew up in the 70s and 80s and had a solid father like you to raise me.
