of dollars today. Here he writes about how in 2010 he had
less than N10,000 in his account and how not giving up on
his dreams changed his life. He shares his story and
encourages others to keep fighting. Read below...
"My wife persuaded forced me to do a little spring
cleaning this weekend. As I was going through my
things rubbish , I came across this old account
statement for an iROKO Partners Ltd bank account in
London. If you look at the date its 13 July 2010. The
statement is for June 2010. That's right. £60.25 paid in.
£60.00 (my feeding money) paid out. And an ending
balance of £0.25. That's right folks. I literally had £0.25
in my account that's $0.42 or N63.
Needless to say life has improved somewhat, but as I go
about trying to frame this statement, it definitely reminds
me of how far in such a short time one's life can improve. It
doesn't have to be as dramatic, but improve life can. It also
should serve to demonstrate to anyone, anywhere right
now toiling away in obscurity on a little project or
something no one gives a flying f*** about that as long as
you believe in yourself and your project then success
(whatever that may mean to you) is or may be just around
the corner. All you have to do is find the inner strength to
stay in the game.
At this point I had toiled for 6 long years. Fast forward
another 4 years and everything has changed. But then I
didn't know that. It was only pain.
Founders. Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever give
up. On yourself. You may migrate from project to project
and you will never know which one is 'the one'. But one
day, someday. Your stars will align.
