The decision to embrace celibacy followed a period of deep reflection and prayer.

When he felt ready, Spryo severed all connections that tempted him toward premarital sex. “I struggled for a while but I kept praying for strength and when the time came I disengaged from all lingering connects at the time,” he wrote.
Spryo also touched on the challenges he faces in his daily life, particularly while traveling. He noted that encounters with attractive women and pressures from promoters have tested his resolve. “It hasn’t been easy especially when I travel and these clean girls begin to get funny around me and promoters never make it easy too,” he said.
Despite these challenges, Spryo remains committed to his decision. “But now they know but yea I am keeping this bed for ONE now,” he declared, emphasizing his commitment to celibacy and a future with a committed partner.
