He added that the experience motivated him to strive for success in life.
“I studied Human Resources and Personnel Management. When I was in university, there was a strike for like three months. So I decided to get a job and I was searching for a job for like three months in the whole of Lagos. I did not get one single job,” he said.
“There was even a time I worked in a pure water factory as a marketer. At that point I was like, ‘I am looking so hard for a job and I cannot find any. Is this how I am going to end up when I finish school?’ So that was also a trigger. I told myself, ‘You really have to make sure you make it.”
