Speaking during the interview, he said,

“My dad was the person that brought the internet, the very first person that brought the internet to Nigeria. So, he set up pretty much everyone, all the companies that initially, all the first cybercafés that you know. All of those connections came through my popsy (father).

He continued:

“He was an IT guy. So, naturally, by association, I dey very align to IT even though I studied architecture. So when I reach Yankee, that was the easiest thing for me to do. That's what I did as my paying job, like the way I earn money like I was still working solely on my career.”
