Today is workers day and I remember when I was 16 and got my first part time job in Leicester . I was in college, In boarding school in the UK . It’s was my official first step to becoming who I am today.

Although back then my ideas and dreams of what I wanted my life to be like was totally different . I really imagined that I would become an investment banker make all the money and rule the world before I’m 40. ????????

In my first year in university I was nominated as the course rep for my department, and in my second year I was the African Caribbean society President. By my 3rd year I had bought my first car . All the while working and schooling.

And then I went back to school, this time to get my Ultimate Certificate as a Chartered Management Accountant . I enrol into the London School Of Business and Finance.

After that I moved back to Nigeria and suddenly EVERYTHING CHANGED ???????? Lord have mercy!!!! I never knew I could make so many wrong choices and mistakes in my life. I never knew how aggressive and angry I could be.

Even serving God was a different ball game. I also have never experienced so much freedom and fun all at once. All in all through it all my parents have been there for me. They had already given everything I needed to go through life.

My parents sacrificed everything for me and many times I had betrayed them with my wrong choices in life.
