Fausto, this is the translation of his African name, was born and raised in Italy, while both his parents are Nigerian. For this reason, he had to wait until 2012 in order to wear the Italian colours, but his times had already captured the general attention even before he got the Italian citizenship. After having devoted himself to football, he started an athletic career, in particular for speed. He sports the third best ever time in the 200m in Italy, placed in the national ranking behind Pietro Mennea and Andrew Howe. The Italian team member has a great passion for heavy metal music and the drum kit, an instrument he played in a band until not long ago, and in his free time he also loves watching action films.
