About me
I am a 28 year old Nigerian with a strong passion for humanitarian work. My philosophy is as a human being, you can only be adequately fulfilled in life when those around you have a positive cause to emulate you. My goal and career aspiration is to become a seasoned social advocate and administrator. I enjoy doing and making a success in those important things that many neglect.
