Here are the questions I asked:

• Welcome back home So how are you finding Nigeria?
• You guys got married sometime in 2014 —you grew up here in Surulere and she grew up in Denver, Colorado. So what attracted you guys to each other?
• Your wedding dance attracted over 173,000 views on YouTube alone and was on so many blogs including Bella Naija and the thing that fascinates me about it was that it was the bringing together of two worlds-- an intercontinental story, if you will. You said the theme was based on Harlem Renaissance and Nigerian influences… tell me about that Eulanda.

• Omo, what’s the most challenging thing about being a Nigerian in the UK and how can one turn that around and achieve success?
• If you have the ability to change something about Nigeria—let’s say you were the President and you could do that, what would that be?
