Tobe's story

"Focus on the future and not the past."

The happiest I’ve ever been was when my baby sister was born. She was born in America and I was at home in Nigeria, so the day she came back home with my Mum was a pretty amazing time for me and the family. That was seven years ago so she’s way younger than me. I was supposed to be the last born but then she came as a surprise! Having a little baby sibling is pretty special to me.

I’m in a big family; there’s five of us kids and my parents are still together. I’m always inspired by them. My mum is such a fighter and my Dad is a pretty successful guy, so in terms of being a successful individual he inspires me to be able to provide for my family. And then there are people like my best friend. He’s like a genius, so he really inspires me! If I had one motto to live by though, it would be to focus on the future and not the past.
