On the second month of 2013, I was so excited to get back to school because in the previous I nailed it real ‘badt’ - I made a 4.42 as CGPA. It was refreshing to beat all odds especially the religious prejudice and the tribal bigotry in my school.

You know I was feeling myself like Ebuka but something happened that changed my mindset, and how I viewed the life on campus. This happened in my first semester of my third year,and it was a year of serious humility and soberness. It was point in a cliff where you are made to understand that this path is not for you despite your credentials. They knocked me off guard, I was literally looking for the handle of the bench to lean on so I don't give up on this sojourn called Life.


But right in my depressed state, I found peace and fulfilment when my eye was opened to the abundance of what life have in store for me. I took my Ankara styled bag and my brown brogue shoe and straight to the conference where I would be baptized to what truly is Life.


Friends, Life is meaningful when you are passionate and hungry for what is also looking for you all these years. Success is not a destiny but it's a state of mind first before it becomes a reality. Back to the story, right at the conference, I met young minds doing great things, instantly my brain started to observe, calculate, and form a pattern that forever shaped me into the person I am today.


What am I saying, Education can be found in the most derelict place of life, and it may be that single piece of information that will shape your life and disrupt your life movement.


Be open minded and be willing to learn - it's a skill, a hard one!
