More about Sunday
Dad Sunday is the patriarch of the family. Father to four children, he sees himself as the provider for his family.
Sunday moved to the UK from Nigeria in 1980. His wife, Vicky, joined him a year later. All their children were born in the UK. Sunday describes his wife as 'loveable and warm... the watchdog of the family'.
His family are extremely important to him and although he has experienced 'many great family moments', his proudest memory is his son, Ayo's, graduation.
Sunday has always worked long shifts and now he runs a restaurant and take-away in east London those long hours have continued. His first job was as a clerk, and he drove taxis for a period of time before deciding to venture into the restaurant business.
Like any parent, Sunday worries about his children and is keen to see them take over the family business so that he can enjoy a 'peaceful pension life'.
