About Me

CHUKS OLUIGBO: First, I love adventure. When I move from point A to point B, I like to take the unfamiliar route where I would likely see sights that I am not used to. It makes it a lot better if the road is a bit long and winding: I stop at every bend to look back at the route I have travelled. I like to walk rather than drive past an interesting place. When I move into a new environment and I have to eat out, I don’t want to eat in the same place twice until I have tasted what every restaurant within the vicinity has to offer. And I find it very easy to stop strangers and ask questions. I hold a Bachelor of Arts (First Class Honours) in History and English from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and a Master of Arts (Distinction) from Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. But I'm still work-in-progress.
