By Dayo Adesulu

TELL us about yourself.

My name is Daniel Nkemelu K. What does the initial K. stands for? Daniel Nkemelu Kelechukwu. How did you come about the Yoruba names (Oluwaseun) as it appears between your name on Facebook? I simply converted my native name (Kelechukwu) to Yoruba. I love the Yoruba culture, I’m very Nigerian. Where did you hail from? I am from Nnewi-North LGA in Anambra State.

How old are you, Daniel?

I’m 24. Could you please tell us about your parents. Who are your parents and what are their occupations? My dad, Mr Daniel Nkemelu, is a business man and my mum, Mrs Augustina Nkemelu, is a caterer and fashion designer. They are based in Lagos. I can talk about how amazing they are all day, but let me simply say, they are God’s gift to me.

What exactly do you mean?

My siblings and I were brought up with full and proper parental guidance. We were taught about morals, honesty and love for every man. These are useful qualities in today’s world.I think it is sufficient to acknowledge my Christian background and avoid mentioning a particular church. Church is a delicate topic in Nigeria and I don’t want to distract the aim of this interview.

How many children have your parents and what position are you?

I’m fifth of seven children, four boys and three girls. I’m the third boy and fifth child. Where are they and what are they doing? Some are married, some are working, my younger ones are schooling.
