Nigerian born Moro Ojomo made Nigeria proud when he waved the country's flag after he won the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles.

He was part of the Eagles team that dominated the Kansas City Chiefs with a final score of 40-22 to claim the latest Super Bowl win on Sunday night.

His gesture was recognized and commended by the Chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, and other Nigerians on social media.

Born Morotoluwa Ojomo on August 15, 2001, in Lagos, Ojomo moved to California in the United States in 2009 and played college football at Texas before finding a career in the National Football League

His father is a pastor and his mother worked for an information technology company.

While in seventh grade, his family moved again, this time to Houston, Texas.

Ojomo attended Katy High School, being two years younger than most of his classmates due to having started his education at three in his home country.

He did not play varsity football as a freshman or as a sophomore, and additionally said that he had not figured out how to workout by that time.

However, following his sophomore year, he began getting serious with weight training and running, and made the varsity team as a junior, eventually earning All-District honors as a defensive lineman at the end of the year.
