Early life and education

Simon was raised in Benin alongside his two sisters, one of whom has passed away, by their parents about whom very little is known, as Simon respects their privacy; it’s believed that his father was a businessman – which was why Simon became interested in being a businessman at a very early age – and that his mother was a housewife.

He grew up being focused on his education, and studied at the boarding school Loyola Jesuit College in Abuja, Nigeria. Simon was into several things during his time there, as he enjoyed playing soccer with his peers, excelled at math, and delved into chemistry in the school’s lab.

He matriculated in 1982, and although Simon’s yet to talk about his further education, it’s widely believed that he attended college, and that he graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in 1986.

Simon’s career

Simon worked various jobs between 1980 and the early 2000s, but hasn’t shared a lot about that period of his life with his fans.

Love life and relationship with Porsha Williams

Although Simon’s not that open when it comes to talking about his love life, his fans will be happy to know that his other half’s not that secretive. Simon’s girlfriend Porsha revealed in May 2021 that she had become engaged to Simon, and while neither has spoken about whether or not they’ve already set a date for their wedding, it’s believed that they’re going to marry in the summer of 2023.

Simon’s passionate about travelling, and has his own private jet; he’s been all around the world, mostly for work but also for pleasure, and his dream travel destination’s Cairo, Egypt. He’s sensitive about his roots, and travels back home to Nigeria at least once every year.
