About
Favorite sports:
Football, running, cycling & tennis
Fun fact:
I once led a popular national movement in Nigeria called #LightUpNigeria. It was Nigeria's earliest example of social media activism.
Most embarrassing sport moment:
Several years ago, featured as a midfielder for my local team and we made it to the semi-finals. It was a tough game and our only chance fell to me. I was one on one with the goal-keeper in the 6-yard box and somehow I froze and lost the ball. We lost 1-0. I couldn't look my teammates in the eye after the match.
Proudest sport moment:
Completing the TCS Amsterdam Half Marathon in 2018. It was my first major race and I only started running a couple of years back. I've never been a long-distance runner and finishing a major race was a huge, huge achievement.
