Ola Jason looks dapper in a blue cotton suit; an impressive printed shirt defines his muscular torso. He hangs his coat meticulously on the back of his chair and settles down to talk. He’s a Nigerian who has been living in Delhi for more than eight years after coming here to study.
His stay has been a mixed bag, including time in Tihar jail as an undertrial – he was later acquitted in an alleged case of drug-peddling. Unperturbed, he stayed on and built his life from scratch in Delhi. He’s now a businessman, actor, model and uncrowned leader of the African expat community in the city. He got married a few years ago to a Russian woman and they have a daughter.
