About the Author

Olawale Dairo-Singerr was born and bred in Lagos but moved to Ireland where he currently resides with his family. In a bid to trace his roots to Ilesha in Oyo State, Nigeria, he is embarking upon an audacious project to promote the vagaries of an extravagant culture he only embraced from afar while growing up as a youth.

A staunch Manchester United supporter, his other passion is to see the world help Africa embrace a conscientious stance to transport safety in general and road safety in particular through his other project, Global Initiative For Safe Transport Foundation.
