Bringing this here not just because of notability concerns, but also in the hope of attracting some more eyes. I've done my best to clean this up somewhat, but the lack of sources remains glaring. The article does make one possible claim of significance – "First Secretary of the Nigerian High Commission in London, England", but I'm not so sure whether that's synonymous with the actual role of High Commissioner, and have been unable to find any sources to that extent, anyway. As it stands, this individual looks like one of those cases where the subject, despite having lived an interesting life, does not quite make it past any SNG (I guess mainly NPOL in this case), and has also not been active during a time where active press coverage may have lifted him past GNG.

 * Comment. A problem is that there are no independent sources. Xxanthippe (talk) 09:29, 14 August 2021 (UTC).
 * Comment First secretary is most definitely not synonymous with a High Commissioner; it depends on the size of a mission, but generally it is the rung below the senior ranking positions (Counsellor, Minister-Counsellor, Military Attache, Deputy Ambassador, etc). Certainly not relevant for claims towards notability. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 09:10, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
 * , good to know, I'd suspected as much. To me, that settles the matter.  Angry Harpy   talk 07:01, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Middle-ranking diplomats are certainly not notable. His books and final civil service role just might make him so, but the case is not made. Johnbod (talk) 17:09, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
