Tell me about where are you from:
I am from Abuja, the capital of Nigeria, the giant of Africa.
How does the weather at Amherst compare to the weather back home?:
It is way colder here. It’s summer temperature almost all year round in Nigeria.
Why did you choose to attend Amherst?:
I didn’t really, my sister made that decision for me. She was a student at Mount Holyoke at the time and she was like “why don’t you apply to Amherst college”. I did, and here I am. No regrets whatsoever.
What’s are you interested in both academically and leisurely?:
I am a computer science major so i am interested in everything computer science related. I am also a huge fan of game programming. I’ll see how that unfolds itself. Aside that, I am very interested in soccer and I play with the wonderful ladies and gentlemen on the club soccer team [here at Amherst].
What’s are you passionate about the most?:
I am most passionate about soccer. I could talk/argue about it 24/7 really.
What are your plans for the rest of your time at Amherst and beyond:
I think the primary plan is to do my absolute best academically. Aside that, I will also like to meet new people, make new friends, have fun, grow…
Beyond Amherst, I plan to own and coach Chelsea Football Club and spend my spare time programming FIFA, the soccer game. Basically, make a living doing what I love.
If you could make one change to the world, playful or serious, what would it be?:
Serious change: I would end global hunger. Less serious change: I would make 90% of the world Chelsea (Football Club) fans. I would let the rest choose their clubs so I can argue with them about why their choice is wrong.
What’s something you’ve always wanted to say but never got the chance to say it?:
I love you, Bae.
