But I did have somewhere to stay. So my mother had a friend who I was going to stay with. So it wasn't like they gave me money and then I stayed in a homeless shelter. I had a roof over my head, but I had to look after myself. And so I had to get a job. And that was at McDonald's. And did you do the fries like Kamala Harris did?

You know, I had to do everything. But I hated being, we used to call it on the grill in those days. I hated being, it was just boring. I liked talking to people. So I liked to be on the till. You were either on the till or on the grill. I don't know if they still say that now. This is nearly 30 years ago. But you had to do everything there. You had to clean toilets, mop the floors.

There were no special cleaners coming in. But a lot of people, and this has been very interesting for me, a lot of people in the U.K., think that it was like a summer job or something I was doing at weekends. That was my job. And then I went to a part-time college to do my A-levels, this sort of between age 16 and 18.

And that was also a very formative experience for me because I had done SATs when I was 16 and I had such good scores. that I got all these scholarship offers. And I got a part scholarship from Stanford when I was in Nigeria to go pre-med. At 16? Yes, at 16. And my dad said, well, we can't afford the rest of the fees, so you can't go.

When really what should have happened was I should have kept going till I was 18 and I'd probably have gotten the full thing. And going to the UK and starting at this college, It was a completely different experience. I call it the poverty, the soft bigotry of low expectations, the poverty of ambition. Why do you want to study medicine? You can do this other thing instead.

And so because they didn't care about grades, I stopped caring about grades when I'd been a straight-A student. And I realize now just how tough it is for so many people who may not have families that push them And then they go to a school where no one is pushing them to fulfill their potential. And it's so unfair.

And that's one of the things that got me on that journey to becoming a conservative.

Well, I joined the party because because I thought it would be a fun thing to do. So I had finished university. A lot of my friends had just dispersed all over the country, in fact, all over the world. And I thought, well, If I join, I might meet some new people who are very like-minded. So I was already a conservative before joining the party. But how did I become a conservative?
