Moro Ojomo: Who are the parents of the Lagos-born Eagles star

In a historic victory, Nigerian-born defensive tackle Moro Ojomo won the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles, defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 at Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans.

In the Super Bowl, Ojomo made two tackles and a crucial tackle for loss, playing a vital role in shutting down Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs' offense.

Ojomo, 22, who was born in Lagos in 2001, moved to California with his family at the age of seven.

He was drafted into the NFL as the 11th pick in 2023, joining the Philadelphia Eagles as a defensive tackle.

Ojomo's journey to the NFL is a true rags-to-riches story. With the support of his parents, Ololade and Bimbo Ojomo, he rose through the ranks of American football, earning Academic All-Big 12 honors four times and making the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll eight times.

His parents, who relocated to the United States in 2009, have been instrumental in his success.

His father, Ololade, is a pastor and missionary, while his mother, Bimbo, works as an IT and human resources consultant.

In an interview, Ojomo attributed his rise in football to his parents, who have always been by his side. He also credited his faith with giving him the resilience to overcome challenges and achieve his goals.

The Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl victory marks a historic moment for Ojomo and his family, who have worked tirelessly to support his dreams.

As Ojomo celebrates his championship win, he is an inspiration to millions of young Nigerians and Americans who aspire to achieve greatness in sports and beyond.
