I’ve pinched myself several times to be sure it’s real, and it is, MY PICTURE & COMPANY WAS DISPLAYED AT NY TIMES SQAURE🥹
A kid from a small village in Nigeria, came to Ghana for continuing education, motivated to plug the youth unemployment gap, and now making the news in America. That’s surreal!
When I started SFAN at my second experience of a university education (after many years of working in a retail business) a well-respected lecturer said it was a waste of time.
He said I might not graduate the course.
I told him I’d graduate with honors.
He laughed me out of his office…
He said people like me don’t graduate with a first class.
I’d NEVER forget that comment.
I’d never forget how insignificant it made me feel.
I did graduate with a First Class while still building the company.
Fast forward: That so-called distraction has raised the highest pre-seed funding by an education startup in Ghana and has made the news at Times Square!🥰
You see, NOBODY can or should define your limits!
And I hope that my work and life will continue to serve as a tiny spark of inspiration for young dreamers across the continent.
Your dream is valid!!!
This wouldn’t be possible without you who believe in our vision and continue to support this work. I’m thankful for everything.
