SUCCESS AT LAST.

HOW HE BEGAN

As a boy of 15years old with no parents to attend to his needs , he lived with his fathers younger sister, reason why is because after his dad died at age 61 he was 7yearsold, his fathers properties were siezed by his uncles and step mum, thee little money from the property that was sold then was given to his fathers younger sister to take care of him and his sister, well we know why happens in life that money is root of all evil, the money want used to do anything for them whereas this money was spent lavishly and before a year the woman has spent all on unnecessary things, even schooling became an issues for them, my husband did all kind of jobs then just to be able to get himself through school, even when at a point he was losing hope of ever finishing secondary school, some of his mate who were having same struggles as him had already pulled out and were just street guys, but he had the determination cause he said his father wanted him to become an engineer, with all and all was able to finish secondary school and at age 16 he decided to leave home and go find his way in life.
He worked as an house help for 3years, in which the woman sent him back to secondary school because she didn't want him to be older than her own children in class( Nigerian mentality), he didn't argue he went back to secondary school And repeated a class he had finished before, he was like an uncle to those who were in class with him because he was older than them, but he didn't mind, so gar she would fulfil her promise of sending him to the university, well the dream was short lived, as the woman sent him away in the dead of the night, that she didn't want him around her and her children anymore ,that night he cried and on his way he walked into a church were he went to talk to the pastor in charge, the pastor agreed to let him lived with him , after some month the pastor asked him to leave, till now he says he doesn't know what happen that made him Ask him to leave, then he approached a factory, in the factory they make nylon . this nylon or waterproof in which we put in things when we go buy we something, at first the manager refused to let him work there because they deal with big machines that could be dangerous for those who don't know how to use them, the man asked him to leave but he didn't he stay outside the factory until the next day, when the manager was going home after his shift he still saw him outside and that was when he decided to give him a job, as a packer, he would be packaging the nylon for sell, there he made friends,he started squatting with some group of friends, but at the long run he was asked to leave and then he stayed with a friend he made at the factory, the friend liked him, that when one of uncle asked him to come to lagos to pay him a visit, he asked my husband to come with, but the boy's parent were against it, after a while they agreed for them to go together, they cane together at the back of a lorry truck, there life in lagos began.

Everyone has this mentality that lagos is a hustle man land, that was his own mentality then, that he would find ways to make it in lagos, he worked at his friend uncles bar as a barman, along the line, he noticed that the uncle wasn't a christain he was already looking for means to get money and power in the area, he had to run for his life while his friend went back to Ibadan to his parent. He Took so many jobs at that period and he always made sure to do well and not give people a bad impression about him, some people were willing to accommodate him while others snobbed him, but in all he still kept on believing God had a purpose for him, with the little income then as a teacher he enroll for part-time studies at olabisi onabanjo university, where he graduated without help from family but God sent helpers to him, after his programme in school he was able to get his first decent job in a office, and that was when we became friends and church members, until he decided to settle down even after he resigned from his Hob then, he had this feeling that he will make it great, to be frank it wasnt an easy year 2017- 2018 ending was one year I never want to visit again, the hardship was much but we together we were able to scale through , we openef our own business that 2017 and with that we were able to achieve the things we have so far.

He was able to get his school certificate with about 120,000 naira, ( you know Nigeria and bribery na).

Whenever he tells people he is not from a rich home, they don't believe, he is a boss on his own, though he is not there yet, but he knows with God grace he would achieve greater, and I would come testify of Gods greatness when He perfects all things.
