My Mission?

To enjoy life to the fullest, enjoy the NY life!

I was born in the beautiful city of Jos Nigeria. Moved around Nigeria before migrating to the United States in my twenties (Yes I do have an accent), Served in the Military and I'm now a Veteran trying to get my Masters degree and see where the wind takes me.

I am a huge football (Soccer) fan, A Madridista to the core, currently based in Brooklyn NY (moved here Oct 2014), I love my sports, cartoons, movies, browsing, cooking, and networking.

I have been a bit active in the CS community and continue to strive to improve. I do plenty of volunteer work at various parks around the city too.

I'm open to friends of different religions, ethnicity, and backgrounds. Just do not be a religious or political fanatic trying to force your beliefs on me. That I can't tolerate.

PHILOSOPHY

Good and Bad people exist in all corners of Earth.

I have a right to my opinion but do not have a right to force it on another person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Was in the Middle East during Arab spring and never got harassed. One time was in a taxi and went through a crowd of more than 500 people protesting.

Sat in a park and watch people.

Driving from Oakton Virginia to Dallas Texas (19 hours).

Driving from Dallas TX to Brooklyn NY (23 hours)

Went sailing on Lake Grapevine.

Meeting wonderful and cool people from all over the world and eating street food everywhere I've been.

Drinking with British Sailors all night (couldn't make it to work, the next day)

This year I have tried a bunch of meals that I never had the guts to try before.

Teach, Learn, Share

Comics, Movies, Anime and Cartoons all hold and teach valuable lessons. Never limit yourself to one source of knowledge. It's okay to have a blank moment and not have an idea about what to do, sometimes our system just needs to shut down and restart........ Just sing Hakunamata!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A roof, a bed, depending on who I'm hosting with a good conversation. If you lucky I might cook too.

England, Finland
