I’m a Nigerian-born British poet. I was born in Delta State of Nigeria.
My father died during the Nigerian Civil War. I left school without any higher school certificates to my name. In the 1980s through correspondence course, I acquired a couple of GCSE certificates. In the year 1997, I enrolled to study law with the Open University; sadly during my second year, I dropped out due to lack of funds to pay my fees. For eleven years, I studied at universities of hardships and learned how to write poems and quotes.view less
