I was born and raised in Nigeria (West Africa) - which will explain my accent (for those of you - with whom I have had the opportunity and privilege to talk to). I left Nigeria at the age twenty - after graduating from college. I proceeded to Egypt and Morocco - where I lived for almost a year. After which, I ventured into Europe - where I traveled extensively. I then settled in London for almost two years.
Living in London was not much fun for me. I quickly got tired of the place and I decided to move into the United States.
In the US, I settled in New York - where I lived for about six years, I went back to college to further my education. I received another B.A degree in Criminology (if you ask why... I just love the long name and it gives people the impression that I must have studied very hard to have such a degree... LOL). I then received my M.A in Public Administration.
I moved to Florida in June of 1996 and have worked in the human services field since then. I currently reside in Tampa, FL.
As an individual, I like and enjoy the basic things of life, such as; Honesty in myself and others, ability to communicate effectively and efficiently, having fun (however "Fun" is defined), meeting people and visiting places, discreteness, respect for self and others, intelligence, ability to have reasonable conversations with others, traveling, wine and cognac, smoking (only cigs... no drugs of any kind), etc.
I do have my own dislikes too (as if you and/or anyone cares). I HATE dishonesty in others, lying of any kind, misrepresentations, racism, drug addicts - with the exception of joints, laziness and ALL the other things that you hate.
I think I must have covered all the basic stuffs that you need to know about me. Should you have any more questions, I will be willing to answer them honestly.
I could be contacted via Email. I'm also reachable in real-life - via telephone (based on request). I sure will be looking forward to hearing from you.
Cheerios,
Okon.
