Meet Koro

Musiliu Olatunde Obanikoro popularly known as “Koro” was born in Lagos, Nigeria. He is from the Obanikoro (Ajayi – Bembe) family of Lagos, Idoluwole (Ojo LG), and the Eletu – Odibo (Oshobile) family of Lagos.

Koro lost his father Yekini Onikoro during his teenage years on November 25, 1976, and was raised by his illiterate mother Ejide Onikoro. Having to fend for himself by hawking the streets selling newspapers and “akpoti” (stools), he successfully completed his primary and secondary school education at the St. Patrick Catholic school Idumagbo, Lagos, and Ahmadiya College (now Anwar-ul Islam) Agege, Lagos.
