If the weather is sunny and perfect in London, what will you be up to this weekend?
I will play tennis with my wife – and do everything I can to beat her! Then, I’ll likely go to the farmers market at the Duke of York Square with my kids for oysters and dumplings, and we will definitely spend Sunday having a big barbecue – African style! And that’ll be with my brothers, cousins and friends.
What are some of your favourite weekend things to do?
Some of my favourite things to do on a weekend would be to spend a little of my extra time reading – I’ve got an ever-growing back log of books that I’m dying to immerse myself into. I also like discovering exciting new places, and practising with my bow.

What’s the best thing about being a dad?
