Big Brother Naija Star, Emuobonuvie Akpofure aka Neo has opened up that meeting ace music executive, Don Jazzy ten years ago changed his life.

He wrote, “Destiny may know my name, but grace has never failed to find me in moments of doubt and uncertainty.
 
“Ten years ago, at a time when I questioned so much about my future, I was randomly selected out of thousands as the winner of the MTV Base “A Day with Don Jazzy” @mtnng trivia. I had spent just N60 answering questions about Don Jazzy, not knowing that those few clicks would open a door I never imagined.
 
“The prize was an all-expense-paid trip with Don Jazzy and the Mavin crew to South Africa for an award show. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it because of my exams at Unical. Yet, God still showed up for me. I was flown to Lagos to meet Don Jazzy, and to my shock, I was given a ₦500,000 compensation.
 
“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 my @donjazzy , who without even knowing, re-inspired my dreams thank you. To God, who has kept every promise He made to methank you. I am a living testimony that when grace speaks, destiny listens”.
Reacting to the post, Don Jazzy wrote, “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”.
