“Growing up in the U.K, I was used to eating a lot of junk foods cos it’s something very handy without wasting your time.
One day my mum followed me to the pitch where I play soccer with other kids at the age of ten, she noticed how I easily fell down when being shoved by other kids when contesting for the ball.
After the match, she told me “Ademola my son, I am not impressed by the way you fall when playing football. You are a Nigerian child and you should have the stamina of a Nigerian”
The next day, my mother introduced “Fufu” to my diet, at first I didn’t like it because of the fowl smell, but as I ate it with ewedu soup, I could see the results as my stamina increased.
Now I am here, how can I have make it this far without eating Fufu? I will always represent Nigeria.
