There was already a post about him before but I figured I should post this seeing as he's now being known internationally too.

glad he's getting some recognition! i've followed him on instagram for a while and he's definitely got the model look going for him. apparently he's only 16-17 too, but he looks sooo much older than that.

The way he handles himself also is beyond his years! I guess when faced with so much discrimination it forces you to mature faster.

Unsure of his father's presence but he probably has his mother's last name.

It's possible that he has a "regular" or Nigerian name and a Korean name. I'm guessing?

In the article they mentioned he doesn't know much about Nigerian culture so his dad probably isn't around much.
