Big Brother Naija star Emuobonuvie Akpofure, popularly known as Neo, has revealed how his life took a major turn after meeting ace music executive Don Jazzy a decade ago.
Taking to Instagram, Neo recounted how he was randomly selected as the winner of the MTV Base trivia competition “A Day with Don Jazzy”. He explained that he had spent just ₦60 answering questions about the Mavin Records boss, not knowing it would open doors to opportunities he never imagined.
Although the prize was an all-expense-paid trip with Don Jazzy and the Mavin crew to South Africa for an award show, Neo couldn’t make the trip due to his university exams at UNICAL. Instead, he was flown to Lagos, where he met Don Jazzy and was given a ₦500,000 compensation, an encounter he said changed his life forever.
Sharing his gratitude, Neo wrote:
“That single encounter changed my life. It made me believe that I could truly be whoever I wanted to be. It reignited a fire in me that no circumstance could put out. Today, a decade later, I look back with so much gratitude. To Don Jazzy, who without even knowing, re-inspired my dreams — thank you. To God, who has kept every promise He made to me — thank you. I am a living testimony that when grace speaks, destiny listens.”
Reacting to the post, Don Jazzy praised Neo’s journey, writing:
“Bro, GOD got you. You are destined for greatness. Everybody I know that knows you always has amazing things to say about you. Makes me happy and I’m proud to have a line or 2 in your book. More blessings ahead.”
