Peter Okoye reflected on how much he missed the basic pleasures of eating his favorite meals, such bread, akara, and drinks, and how he yearned for normalcy but couldn’t.

“We used to pray for fame,” he said, “but now, when I go out or travel, I cover my face with a facemask, a face cap, and even sunglasses to avoid being spotted.” We really wanted this game back then, but after thirty years of working in the industry, I think it’s time to live my life.
The vast majority of famous people experience bad parts of their lives. Sometimes I want to stop and get some food, like hot akara, while I’m driving, but I have to send someone to avoid getting caught. The temperature has decreased by the time the person departs, buys the slats, and comes back. I miss having access to Akara Bread and Co., and that is the best burger ever, ABC. I still like living that life.
