I was born in Nigeria to a well-knit family with exceptional coherence. I was brought up by parents who were both my parents and my friends—a cordial relationship existed. This has empowered me to tell the stories of my childhood experiences.

I hold an MBA degree in finance from Saint Joseph University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After graduation from Saint Joseph University, I returned to Nigeria. For twenty years I worked as a company director in the family trading business, Ohanugo Brothers & Associates Limited, which was based in Lagos, Nigeria. As a director, I was in charge of sales and human resources. While in Nigeria, I served as National General Secretary of Nigerian Association of Masters of Business Administration (NAMBA), an organization for holders of an MBA degree in Nigeria.
