Texas A&M is home to many people from around the world. Some leave their home countries at an early age, whereas others leave home just after secondary schooling.

Born and reared in Lagos, Nigeria, Ojumah talks about family, food and culture in Nigeria, and how he came to further his education at A&M. Watch his story online at thebatt.com.
