-You can get all the education and qualifications you want.
-You can amass all the wealth in this world.
-You can ascend to very high echelons of power and life.
But the greatest thing you would ever achieve is the positive effect you had on other humans while you lived...
@JimCarrey once said, the greatest currency there ever is, is the (good) effect we have on #people's lives.
This has been my guiding principle in life & the reason why I am always very delighted when random people, mostly people who follow me on facebook, walk up to me..
To thank me for being a source of inspiration to them. It gives me great joy that I am giving back, in the little ways I can. I am a product of inspiring coaches & mentors. They lit the way for people like me & we also in our little capacity, are lighting the way for others..
..with our own stories and our daring business moves. Hence the positive cycle continues.
I realized early on I do not have to be "made" to start inspiring my own generation & I am glad I shamelessly started putting my stories and life experiences out there.
Today, just as in the picture above taken at university of lagos & Enugu below, fellow young people walk up to me to say thank you and to take pictures.
Keep living. keep sharing. keep affecting.
You are touching lives. Even if you don't know. You are.
All the best 👏

A story of how I became a millionaire with wheel barrows.
In 2015 I was living in Delta as a houseboy in the Igbo apprenticeship system. One of my duties every weekend was to buy and have processed two old layer hens at abraka market asaba.
A thread..
There was a man, Boniface, who sold polythene there. He had a small kiosk & I'd often buy the bags to package my already cut up chicken from his store.
I had no idea the man has been admiring me. One day he opened up. He told me he just liked me and that he wanted to be friends.
I was wary at first but I thought, what could possibly go wrong? So I gave him my number and we became friends.
Every saturday I'd sit at his shop as my hens were cut & we'd talk. He looked poor & ordinary, but mentally he was a genius. A treasure trove of MONEY MAKING IDEAS!!!
