Student in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada

Born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria. Lived there for 7 years before immigrating to Canada. I come from a rich family which is very rare in Nigeria. My Father founded a major advertising company, and my mother was a secretary for Zenith Bank. Although i was born into this family, my parents brought me up just like any other child. They taught me to work hard if i want to make it anywhere and never forget where i came from.

I come from a family of athletes and have been devoted to soccer all of my life. Everyday i strive to be the best i can be and work hard to increase my skills. Ive had coaches say "a 6'1 striker will never be able to make it to the net" but i always proved them wrong. Throughout my soccer journey, there hasn't been a tournament i have not won MVP at least once.

A main hobby of mine is taking pictures, and editing them. I also love teaching young kids how to play soccer, and volunteer at Vaughan FC in the summer.
