entreprenuership


Llife as the say is in our own hands, as the youth of this world it is our sole responsibility to find ways and means to make life better for us and our children.

As i grew as a little child i had a great hope and wonderful inspiration for the future, but you never knows what would change your life for you. Sometimes you always wished you were born in a rich family, when you see rich children having things you wished you had in your life. But i never knew that God has a purpose for each and everyone of us in our lifes. Our father left us with our mother when i was a little boy, when a family of nine children, i was the 8th child. Five boys and four girls. it was not easy for our poor mother to take care of us. sometimes just getting one meal a day was a problem. Sometimes it comes to a situation that you have to choose either you eat groundnuts or eat grind millet that is always mix with water and shea butter, i remembered one day we had to choose one of the food and one of my elder brother seeing that none of the food could satisfy him, he said he wanted both the groundnuts and the millet and till day we called Baazaa (both). Lokking at the way my mother was able to struggle for us till we all grew to adults i will always remain to indebted to us and all women who have struggle to cater for their children inspire to all the problems the encounter.

Sometimes i always fear i that all my hopes and inspiration are to be dashed one and that i had no future, but our mother used to encourage us in the Lord Jesus, as she always says that is the source of her strength and power to carry out her duties. and that has never been false.

As a single mother she brew logal gin called pito to earn some little income to cater the family. But with nine children it was not easy as some one my brothers were now involve in drinking and fighting carelessly which all add stress to this poor lady. i remembered most of the time she had to cry just because of what she was going through.

i went to  St. Joseph R/C primary at the age of nine(9) in primary one which was so late for me. From primary to JHS. During the time of my final exams i had a serious sickness that i could not even write the mock exams, as i could not walk for just five footsteps, i went from  hospital to hospital and getting the same report that there was nothing wrong with me. Eeh! when i was dyinng how can the doctor's report says am ok. so we have to go to treat it with traditional medicine and God been so good and so kind, it works for me and i was back, and that was when just when we were writing or final exams, so i had to write the exams with doubts of what i was writing.

Mostly, if you ask a youth what he/she expects after going to school, what they would say is that they want to find a nice job, but none never says , they want to create jobs. I had the passion of opening my own business when i completed SHS, but as at then i had no capital to start with.
