Everything, it's home.

What Nigerian languages do you speak?

Yoruba, Pidgin English and just some words of other languages.

Do you have plans to move back to Nigeria? When?

Very big question, to be honest, I have not even thought about it.

Which do you prefer? Hollywood or Nollywood?

Hollywood—with nollywood some Vcds are ok, but some of them are very annoying—Most of the scenes you can tell that they are acting instead of being natural.

What is your most embarrassing moment in life so far?

None--I got stories that you can make a movie out of because when I get to a Nigerian’s home to attend to a complaint or problem and they start to speak in Yoruba and they do not know that I understand, by the time I am done with them, they are surprised that all the time that they have been talking about me and my fellow officers, they are shocked.

What has been your proudest moment in life so far?

Being the first Nigerian (African) police officer in Washington DC.

What would people be surprised to learn about you?

For those that knew me in Nigeria--I attended Igbobi College Iyaba, African Church Comprehensive School in Ikeri Ekiti and Fountain School in Surulere—I was not the best student in the world if you know what I mean.

How will Green Passport change your life?

Well to be modest--I am who I am—Take me for what I am or let me go—God is always on control.

Who are your heroes in life?

No question, my mother.

What’s been your toughest obstacle in life?

It has not been easy, but God has been good to me.

Why do you think you were selected to be on Green Passport?

Maybe because of what I do—Do not know.

If you become famous after this, what will your next move be?

I will always be myself.
