For me, success is something you know you have achieved for yourself and only for you. You have to really know what you want for yourself and do it and that is success! It can be as small as tidying your room to being as big as changing the world. I say this because a lot of my generation are now measuring success to what they see on social media and whilst it may prompt you it is not going to be yours – make your own success your own that’s when it becomes special because if it’s not yours, it only causes misery when you don’t get it.
I know that I was made in God’s image and I am given countless opportunities and resources which shows how much God has poured into me. And with this knowledge that I’ve got the opportunity to do great things, there is no reason apart from pure laziness and selfishness that I should waste that which is why whenever something comes my way I like to do it because not everyone has that opportunity – this is what motivates me.
In the media, there is a lot of negative portrayal about Nigeria but that doesn’t change me because in my opinion, if people think my country is bad, I SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT CHANGES THEIR MENTALITY. If I don’t change their mentality, that’s the only mentality they would have. Nigerians are doing big things – people never talk about the good things but I know the good things and I am proud to be Nigerian no matter what.
