Immediately he grabbed the mic, Okey said to the audience, referring to his work as a comedian: “For one minute, I was wishing that my name would be on that list and maybe I would consider changing my name from Okey Bakassi to Okey NIMASA. And who knows, by the next one when I would be 26, there would be a category for 26 and I would be part of it.

“But since I didn’t’ make your list, I have decided that on April 22, this same hall, I would gather all of you. Ticket would be my own award.”

Okey, born Okechukwu Anthony Onyegbule on October 23, 1969 in Imo State, is also an award-winning actor.
