About Me

I am the Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Dulwich and West Norwood. I’ve lived in this area for the last three years and am proud to be representing you in the next general election.

At the moment I work as a systems analyst for the RBS Group. I studied Computer Systems Engineering (M.Eng) at Sussex University, graduating in 2003 and I’m a Chartered Member of the British Computer Society.

In 2009, I completed my LLB in Law at the University of London (Birkbeck). I wanted to better understand the law so that in the future, I could become a better legislator helping to make it and change it for the better in future. I was born in Wimbledon in 1980 and moved back there in 1996 after schooling in Nigeria.

I’m a school governor at St. Thomas the Apostle College in Southwark and the Jubilee Primary School in Lambeth. I ‘m also on the board of Charlton Triangle Housing Association, part of the Family Mosaic group of housing associations.

I’m a keen chess player, and in my spare time I teach chess occasionally to pupils at the Bishop Challoner School for Girls in Tower Hamlets. I enjoy web development and writing the occasional bit of code, and dabble in graphic design, although I don’t have much time for any of that these days.
In 2006 and 2007 I worked on the Globalisation and Global Poverty Policy group set up by David Cameron. I was the project leader covering corruption and governance.

I’ve been a bit of a bookworm since childhood, reading any and everything I could get my hands on. Nowadays, my reading list has shrunk down to books on British and some Yoruba history and I treat myself to a Terry Pratchett novel once a year. I also love dogs and hope to get one when I have more time and space!

I live in Herne Hill, very near Brixton and was selected in October 2008 to be the Parliamentary Candidate for my home constituency. I love this community and hope I get the chance to represent all of us who live here to make it an even better place to live in than it is now.
