Data & Technical Studies

Growing up from a very poor family in the ghetto parts of Lagos, little did I know that was the ultimate recipe for success. My past is what defines who I am, and I remember my lecturer one day asking me what fuels me and drives me so hard to succeed. One thing I learned in life was the importance of education, networking and the ability to take risks. Every business I ventured into was a risk. Some failed and others worked. I didn’t consider them failures, I simply understood what I could have done better. After moving to America, I discovered I could take everything I had learned and put to practice and although I had been teaching for years and trading goods, I created my own businesses in teaching, transportation, vacation rental business, entertainment and consulting. I have been doing excellently and figured it was great to pass on my knowledge so people didn’t have to go through all that I went through. They could become better than me. I have been teaching for 12 years now and my proudest moment is to see my students breaking grounds. I don’t just teach, I mentor because besides knowledge, motivation is a strong key to success.
