Home in Nigeria, Nansel Selbol is known to those closest to him as Starboy. So, he got a tattoo of a star on his left hand to remind him of what his friends think of him and to motivate him to be his best self. The tattoo is on his hand, but he wants to show his stardom with his feet.
Nansel remembers his soccer story beginning at age five in his hometown of Jos, Nigeria, which he describes as a great place to be with the best weather in Nigeria. His elder brother played soccer, and once his father noticed Nansel taking a liking to the game, he bought his son a ball.
