[edit] Personal life

Nimo moved with his family to a refugee camp in Ghana, where he spent most of the first nine years of his life. Nimo and his family were granted asylum as political refugees and moved to Oregon, where he was discovered by the late Clive Charles and placed in F.C. Portland. The senior from Benson High School is considered one of the best players to ever come out of Oregon. Nimo received his U.S. citizenship in November 2006.
