Like I cuz you know when there's pressure when someone speaks to you you know when the uncles come to you they're like oh you want to say something like oh god please >> no I had to relearn it when I was like 14 >> cuz I remember my parents had a whole conversation. Yeah. >> I went back to Canada and my parents had a whole conversation and I'm like >> oh my god I can't understand this. So I was like reading >> watching Mollywood films Nigerian music >> and I'd actually force myself to speak. >> That's good man. I feel like that's one of the things that I wish I just got locked in on. >> Yeah, because it's like it's so easy to get carried away and just go full on English, but kept up with it. >> That's sick, man. Well, it's nice to meet you. I've I've read a lot about you. Watched a lot of your videos as well. You've had a solid summer, man. >> Solid summer. You had the World Cup. You've moved to Brighton. >> How's your whole summer been? >> Uh, you know, it could have been, I think, a glass half full. I mean, yeah, before the summer, I kind of had a wacky injury and I thought I'd be out for the World Cup, but yeah, I worked hard and I was able to get back to a home World Cup, play in it, winning it, assist in it, scoring it, >> uh, do it in front of like my friends and family and then, uh, I remember I, you know, took a very long deserved vacation. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then um came back and I was like, "Yeah, you know, kind of pick off where I left off with my team." And then yeah, a week later, Brighton came and I was like, "Damn, >> so I almost got out of shape." Yeah. Find myself here. I feel like every place I've lived has been completely different and and >> that the fact that it is different forces me to um >> to adapt to certain things in that area and become a better person for it. >> Yeah, >> that's really good. And I was speaking to your gaffer came earlier. He was saying that you're you're a great person to add to the >> the top. So [laughter] >> he I mean he said that in a few words [laughter] >> well we're here >> to eat. You know >> we're talking about Black History Month and obviously we know your background. and we spoke a little bit about like Nigeria and Canada and all the places we've been to. So, let's get the food out. I think that I think that that's what we should do. >> Yeah. >> Okay, the food's coming in. >> Okay, so we've got some jay rice. >> Oh, nice. >> Beef stew. >> Got some beef stew. >> Goat curry. and go curry. >> We thank God. >> That looks good. That looks good. Now, Jay Rice is a staple. >> They didn't bring yours. >> No. You know what? We're sharing, bro. What do you What do you mean? What do you mean one portion? You're a footballer. You can't eat that much. [laughter] >> I don't know what I can do for you. >> Before you know, >> that's why I need to keep you talking so I can get some of the food. But obviously, J Rice is a staple in the Nigerian community. >> 100%. What is what do these cuisines that mean to you when you see them? >> Great coffee. [laughter] >> Shout out to >> John right here. I feel like I can't have it like every day. It has to be like an occasion like a Sunday. >> Like what what do British people have? Shepherd's pie. This is This is [laughter] >> Have you tried Shepherd's pie? >> No. I've never never What British cuisine have you tried? >> I did fish and chips though. >> You like it? >> I don't I'm not even a fish guy, but I I hear it. >> It's nice. >> I did fish and chips. What else have I done? You put the salt and vinegar on it. And >> I remember I had tea time with a couple grandmas in my building. >> What? >> Yeah. A little British tea, English cookies and thing. >> What was that saying? >> That was calm. >> It was calm. I like an apartment complex and they're a very nice very nice group of people there for tea. >> Would you say that this is the type of stuff that kind of helps you stay connected to home when you're overseas? >> Uh I I do cuz I think um weirdly enough I feel like as a Nigerian, you know, there's like we're everywhere. Yeah. >> Yeah. And like I remember like not being able to cook jalaf rice and stuff like this. >> I didn't know how to cook it because I didn't cook uh growing up like I I I kind of had to after I moved away from home. >> Yeah. >> But there's always an African restaurant somewhere%. You know what I mean? >> 100%. >> So like even in Brighton definitely found one already. In Belgium in fact I used to go to one every day. I just called boss man. I'm on the way. You'll get >> what was your order? >> J rice suya plantain. >> Okay. Yeah, >> we can dig in. We can dig in. >> This is two portions. >> He's looking at the food. It's fine. It's fine. It's It's yours. It's yours, >> boss. You make one for home >> because I didn't even pack take away food today. >> No, it's fine. You can have it. You can have it. >> J saying good there. >> Let the question. >> If you had to describe the dish in one word, what would it be? flavorful. >> Yeah, >> I feel like galaf is like >> we don't have no baileies, but usually the bay leaves, the tomatoes, naggi, everything's just hit you all at once. >> Would you prefer home-cooked or party jalof? >> Party jalaf. If it was smoky, you've been there. >> You've been there. >> Smokey. The Black History Month theme is um honoring our communities. >> Mhm. How do you say you can do that as a footballer? You know, obviously so honest and open about where you come from and proud, but what could you do to kind of, you know, honor it more? >> I think what I'm already doing, >> show out every day, be a professional. >> Yeah. and you put my best foot forward so people will see the image or you know change the stereotypes about uh African communities and see that how loving and and and the positive things about about us I feel like when people see me like young black man doing this like oh yeah you know it kind of has a positive um >> twink on someone's uh psyche. >> Yeah. How important is it for young black footballers and and people that want to be in this space to see people like yourself just being unapologetically you? >> I think you should always be you cuz I mean if you're you're yourself, you kind of like give other people the confidence to also be themselves. >> Were you ever a bit nervous about the public perception of being a young black player being outspoken and energetic? >> Um unapologetically myself. Yeah, >> I feel like it's not like I grew up in academy, fam. No, I'm not PR trained. I'm not >> I just Yeah, I'm just me, fam. I'm just out here balling, doing my thing. >> Okay, so a few quick fire questions. >> In a dream scenario, if you could have one meal for the rest of your life >> that could give you all the nutritional value you need as a footballer as well, you know. >> Okay, so it wouldn't affect my football. >> Yeah. >> What would that meal be? Damn. [laughter] >> All right, let me think about this. It's I can get sides and and mains, right? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> I'll go pound the jam. >> Okay. >> What's this is this is important. >> Okra, Ephro. >> Okay. >> Those are my top three. But I think in this situation, I'll go for okra. Assorted meat. Shaki and Pommo included. People are going to call me Big B. [laughter] Oh my god. We've got one of your >> God is >> delicacies. >> I can't even touch that. I've been >> It's too much. >> Oh, I'm just going to have to >> You know that DJ Khaled suffering from success. [laughter] >> Oh, this is this looks good.
