He was raised in one of the several suburban in Lagos, which border the eastern flank of Victoria Island. Nowadays, Victoria Island plays host to the nouveau riche of the modern-day Nigerian socioeconomic milieu, although it is increasingly buffeted by the corporate offices of the ever-ubiquitous banks.
