During the podcast, Edochie demonstrated to one of the anchors by showing a video on his phone of him visiting his eight-year-old son at school after a court hearing. He also shared a conversation with his son in university, where the boy wanted to go on an excursion to China. Edochie advised him to focus on his studies instead.
Evidence of Financial Support
