Kansas freshman guard Ochai Agbaji’s mom, Erica, hails from Wisconsin. His dad, Olofu, is from Nigeria, which also is the homeland of Jayhawks junior center Udoka Azubuike.
In the true spirit of friendship to a fellow countryman, Olofu has hooked up the 7-foot, 270-pound Azubuike with some old-fashioned Nigerian home cooking.
“That’s my dad. He will bring him back some goat meat. There’s an African dish called fufu. My dad … he’ll get it at an African store in Kansas City and cook it up. If I ever go back home, I’ll bring it back,” Ochai Agbaji said of a snack for Azubuike, his new college teammate.
