Folu Oyefeso

Storyteller

Folu Oyefeso grew up in the city of Ibadan, Nigeria, as the first child of two business people/entrepreneurs. From a young age, he's had interests in a wide variety of subject matter but formally pursued academia in the sciences and business material. After graduating with a business degree from the University of Walla Walla, Washington, USA, he returned home to Nigeria where he started to tell short stories and document places of interest in his part of the country. This journey led him to develop an online directory, where stories and pictures from his travels are documented with the purpose of rekindling a sense of pride for Nigerians and Africans.
