I used to be the *50/50 last in class* for Nursery and Primary School days in Victory Primary School. Bendel State ?

I later joined the Army. Between military operations/Duties, I pushed to get an OND *Pass* ? in Kaduna State Polytechnic Zaria. I had to wait 2yrs ?

I later got posted to Army Combat Engrs HQtrs Lagos where I saw hell in service and smuggled to run a HND between duty and class, this time a *LOWER Credit score* ??

I was bolder now. I applied for voluntary discharge even with the teeming graduates ? in the streets! *I was granted discharge on pension 2004*

Between working and joblessness in between jobs, I became member of various institutions and rose to a *FELLOW* in all the Professional institution I belong to.

*What next?* I applied for M.Sc Criminology at the prestigious Lead City University. That same year I got downsized from the Bank collapse of Oceanic Bank *(Best Bank in Nigeria ?? still)* I had to resign when deployed to marketing, Same year, Lead City University has to scrap the M.Sc due to issues with NUC. *Other students called for a meeting to take it up with the school but I declined to join that charade.*

Last two years, I went back to the school and got the failed course converted to *M.Sc International Relations.*

Today, 05/11/2019, I got to attend *MY OWN CONVOCATION!!*

One ?? thing to takeaway here is *resilience and determination*

*Never give up on yourself! NEVER!!*
Respectfully yours sincerely all and thank you ? for your well wishes.

*Get this BOOK ? ~ THE POWER OF YOUR MIND!!*
