About Me:
Growing up in Nigeria in a family of five, my childhood was shaped by both my large family and the challenges of living in an area that wasn’t always safe. Although my dad owned multiple properties, he insisted that we live on the borderline between rural and urban Nigeria. He believed that this exposure would sharpen our ‘street smarts’ and prepare us for the real world. Funny guy. This upbringing taught me resilience and how to navigate life with confidence.

Despite the restrictions of my childhood—such as not being allowed to pursue a professional football career due to my parents’ emphasis on academics—I developed a deep passion for various forms of art and entertainment. By age 11, I had already acted in my first short film. Later, I took on leadership roles as a hostel prefect and drama leader in my boarding school. My involvement in sports, arts, and public speaking allowed me to cultivate diverse skills, from playing drums professionally to excelling in table tennis.

Two years ago, I moved to England and committed myself to pursuing the passions I was previously limited from exploring. Now, studying Level 3 Sports, I continue to break new ground, always striving to be the best and determined to excel in every endeavor I undertake. Recently, I also became a prefect. I love making jokes to uplift those around me because you never know what someone might be going through, and humor is something I genuinely enjoy and am pretty good at.
