Alloy Francis

Alloy Francis, the eldest of six children, was born and raised in Ikorodu, Lagos, Nigeria. He grew up from a catholic home. His father was a farmer, while his mother was a fashion designer.

Being that his father was a farmer, Alloy came to love farming as well. He loved to help his father on the farm. As early as 5:30 A.M, Alloy and his father had set out to the farm. His father cultivated yams and cassava crops, and for that reason, Alloy loved to eat yams, same goes to his father. The first time Alloy got scolded on the farm by his father, was the day he forgot a plate to which food is to be served. It happened that they went to farm the day very early as usual; they took along what they'd eat. After few hours of working, they became hungry, and wanted to eat. Alloy's father discovered that Alloy had forgotten to come along with a plate, and scolded Alloy for not making use of his memory. They finally ate the food with leaves.

After graduating from De-young primary school, Alloy attended Government College Ikorodu, where he was a member of the mathematics club. He graduated from college in 2004. In 2009, he studied scriptwriting in PEFTI, a film school.
