As the oldest son and child of a military official, my family and I traveled frequently and were exposed to many things. Nonetheless, the explorations of my Country, Nigeria instilled a sense of wonder that continues to guide me.

At the early age of 24 years old, I began my journey overseas. Initially I migrated to Antigua and subsequently to the USA, where I met Danean Eme, the love of my life and mother of my beautiful four children, Aloysius Eme, Jr., Anthony Eme, Amira Eme and Andrew Eme.
