Love Island Finland -s the program one of the participants Henry25, has lived in Finland since the age of five. He was adopted to Finland from Nigeria.
Henry tells Iltalehti at a press conference on the program that he only knows certain things about his biological parents.

Henry feels lucky in the sense that he has not experienced much racism in Finland. He describes that he has only experienced so -called “small racism”.
– For example, if I go to the store, people look at me on the side eye and wonder why I’m here. It’s kind of hidden racism, but I don’t care about it.
Injury
Henry has also lived abroad for a moment. He says he has received a scholarship at the time of the corona pandemia and was able to start a football career in the United States. However, the career had a nasty end.
– It ended with offending the knee. There were basic workouts where I took the ball, challenged the opponent and fell. After that, I no longer received a scholarship money. Then I returned to Finland, the man says.

Henry lived in the United States for two and a half years. After injury, he has no longer touched football.
Henry had a good picture of the United States – and local women. According to Henry, American women are bolder than Finns.
– If they see something they want, they will talk directly, he opens.
Henry signs the claim that there is a superficial culture in the United States. However, he emphasizes that everywhere there is not so superficial.
– It depends on where you live. For example, I lived in Florida near Miami and there is really superficial, Henry says.
Henry does not really see anything bad in superficiality.
– Of course it’s ok if you want to be superficial. If it’s someone’s thing, then it is.
