Asked about the one-month old baby's character so far, he replied,"'Well, yeah – he's a little bit of a rascal, put it that way. So he either reminds me of my brother or me when I was younger. I'm not sure."
He considers his first nappy-changing duty as a honour. "I did the first nappy, yeah, a badge of honour, exactly. I wasn't allowed to get away with that. I had every midwife staring at me, You do it. You do it".
And then the legacy he wants to pass on? "The only legacy I want to pass
on to him is to sleep more and maybe not have to change his nappy so many times."

As part of celebrations of International Youth Day 2013, the African Youth Panel organised the Africa Youth Charter Ambassador program- an extensive training platform aimed to duly equip its Ambassadors for the crucial youth activity ahead, and grooming "young voices" that would be heard and respected all over the world.
With notable African figures of diverse backgrounds including academicians, civil society experts, entrepreneurs, art managers and politicians in attendance, the 4-day meeting was organised in collaboration with the Children and Community Initiative for Development (CAID), with support funds from the Roskilde Charity Society of Denmark.
Youth leaders, musicians, actors, celebrities and the media participated in the training along with relevant partners like the African Union Commission Youth Division, Pan African Youth Union, Ministry of Youth and Sports of The Gambia, Gambia National Youth Council and the Mandingmorry Foundation for Performing Arts (MANFOPA).
AYP is dedicated to working closely with its Ambassadors to develop follow-up mechanisms and activities to make sure that the Ambassadors are actively engaged in the national, regional and continental themes affecting the continent.
Ms. Eke is pleased to have been selected as a representative of Nigeria and from one of the most vibrant industries in Africa, Nollywood.
