Born in the city of Onitsha to moderate parents, he was educated at St Raphael Catholic School and Boy’s Secondary School, Awkuzu, during which he was transformed by the radical teachings of his dean of study, Mr Obadiegwu.
After a brief romance with the music and business worlds, he relocated to Europe in the early 1990s and settled in Italy, becoming an activist in the fight for the rights of Italian immigrants. As a consequence, he was singled out for destruction by the president of Italy, Giorgio Napolitano. He was tortured and persecuted by Italian authorities, cumulating in four deportations and one assassination attempt. His experiences are the subject of the upcoming book, Memoirs of the Untold Persecution: The Crime Napolitano Committed.
Trained in business administration in the United Kingdom and Switzerland, he holds a BBA from London, a PGD from Zurich, and an MBA from the University of Wales.показать меньше
