Check this for the a short story.
Imagine in your head a small boy roaming on the street with only pant.
Crying as he walk down the street looking for a miracle to eat and make it through the night.
It was clear, food is a substance you take not to die and never something to enjoy.
Let's stop here...
This was ME. Life all started without hope of surviving for the next day.
A small child yet with vivid images of what poverty meant through his romance with poverty.
Imagine what life presented to this child and how his experiences would have changed his life view...
Time will definitely fail me to detailed the experiences.
The day I discovered that KNOWLEDGE is power, and that skill is passport to the world, I knew that this will be my ticket to breaking lose from my background and shaking the world.
Yep. I was committed to learning and upskilling as if that was all I needed to survive till the next day.
These skills have truly made way for me. It changed my life completely and forever.
My background is similar to 99% of that of an average Nigerian and I know...
...how hopeless many are these days.
I am passionate in reaching out to them with the tool that had so much transformation in my life.
Learning and mastering a relevant skill is a deliverance tool not just prayers.
PS: I am not discounting God-factor. God-factor requires the work
Today, My gospel is a gospel of empowerment.
I know that as many as believed in it and follow through, such men and women will break lose from their limitations.
Learning and mastering these skills will get you a good job and will cause you to chill with the big boys.
Your dream of a better future is POSSIBLE.
Give it the time and commitment.
I am here to show you and continue to inspire you till you break the limit and be the best possible version of yourself.
It is a journey, more reason why we should go together in order to go far!
