NWABINELI
The main thing to note is that I am very Nigerian (Igbo to be exact). Born in Benin, Nigeria, I grew up in Glasgow, the Isle of Man and Newcastle, and now live in London praying every day that my money doesn’t finish.
An advocate for the preservation of the Igbo language and Igbo customs, I can usually be found brushing up on creative Igbo insults and proverbs in between conference calls, or watching some ill-advised True Crime documentary.
