The Business General Based on True Life Story
Efficiency unleashed, I reaffirm that. These days, some call me CCTV, Prof., Mentor, Engineer, Doc., Evangelist, Minister, Daddy. It wasn’t free, I worked my way there.
There was a time in 2021 when I arrived Ibadan prior to my late dad’s invitation. At that time, my dad was a real estate agent before he retired to the suburban to practice farming (piggery precisely). In a nutshell, I started working for the first time as a teacher of Financial Accounting and Commerce in a nearby Secondary School which I was paid N15,000 monthly. In 2022, I was ejected off my dad’s properties after his death by angry, jealous and ready to kill step brothers and sisters who attacked the residence fiercely with matchets and other weapons. I know for peace to reign and not to be battered by the angry family mob, I had to leave and stay clear off site for my safety.
However, these challenges brought about my continuing innovation of not relenting in my endeavors. I was homeless in the year 2022, broke to the care, blackmailed and rejected even by my own family but graciously the church was there for me as support and as place in time of help, a few friends had to sneak into Ibadan just to assist in projects and finance, also my students that were displaced off their educational training facility which I had in the compound then, stood earnestly by me. My life was hacked, my business was a complete bankrupt. But today, I am better off because God kept me this far to share this story with you.
Today I run a multi-national business funded from these same salary scale that is equivalent to $10. I used these little resources as an investment which today has made me a worth of 7 figures and business growing without limits.

The agriculture industry has failed in Nigeria coupled with many instances that holds no water. I recalled in 2021 after being tested in teaching practice I surpassed imaginations when my employee complained about my teaching pattern, Afterwards, I was guided on what to do and how to do the tasks. In a couple of months, I improved and started teaching excellently and lecturing in pre-varsities and offering personal coaching for graduating students from the universities aligned with projects and thesis support services which I rendered in addition. I majored my teaching at first at the social science faculties before expanding my horizon to other science departments.
The reason I said agriculture has failed was that the industry could not withstand the swift economic changes, national and international demands as a result of the impact of technology in the industry. “Just like the biblical saying: many were called but few are chosen”. Not all those practicing agriculture can use the latest technological innovations to enhance and boost their productivity and these affected the Imports and Exports industries. How so? Exports has been reduced to the minimal level compared to importations. This has also affected the financial industry and now we have a dwindling currency in the exchange rates because the Naira is not traded in the international markets. The technology industry are doing just fine despite challenges of unstable energy supply, lack of up to date technological equipment and lack of funding to mention a few.
Every industry needs to step up their game in promoting made in Nigeria goods and services including textile, oil, etc. for increased exports of indigenous products and services and this will give room for the Naira trading in the world market at close ties with other currencies.
