He won the judges vote and subsequently advanced onto the Final.
In his Final performance, he made remarks about organising transport back from an airport and his friend not delivering and a mutual friend helping him, messy houses, and the pastor in his church refusing to give change in exchange from a ten pound note as the pastor informed Kojo that god would change his life.
