EX MGBN Omowunmi Akinnifesi Shares Inspiring Story On The Importance Of Not Giving Up

Ex MBGN Omowunmi Akinnifesi has taken Instagram to share her growth story on the importance of not giving up.

According to her, she was told many times that she can’t do a lot of things and because she didn’t give up, she was able to achieve a lot.

Omowummi gave various instances like when she was told that she can’t win Miss Tourism, Kings College London can’t admit her, she can’t finish from Unilag with a second class upper division and so on, but she held on steadfastly and everything they said she couldn’t do, she did.

She won Miss Tourism, got admitted to Kings College London, finished form UniLag with a second class honours upper division and achieved more feats because she didn’t give room negativity.

See her post below:

Someone very very close to me once told me that it was impossible for me to win MBGN. “The other girls are way prettier than you. Are u blind?”. Yet i won. . How can you win Miss Tourism International? “Look at Miss Russia’s body?”…. Yet I won. . “You can not win Miss Bikini International with your dark skin”. Yet I won. In total 3 crowns. Yet i won . Next was you can never finish Unilag with an Upper Class Division. You are too busy as MBGN. Then i finished with a 3.9 GPA. Yet I won . Kings College London can never admit you Omowunmi. Forget applying because they only take certain kind of students. Then Cambridge, Imperial, UCL and Kings College sent me admission Letters. Oxford put me on their waiting list. Because i was told KCL was way out of my league i chose KCL. Plus i liked the fact that my High School was Queens College and my Uni was Kings College. Yet I won . Back track High school at Queens College Lagos, i was told i wasn’t good enough to be a school Prefect. Yet i became a Class Supervisor and a School prefect and won a Dancing Machine Award at our school’s awards night . Yet I Won . Fast track when i decided to start a business and someone very close to me said “you know you are just not good at Business”. Now they come to me for business advice. And i have 4 companies i run. Yet I won. . I never go the way people tell me to go. When i do i fail. I go the way my spirit directs. If you follow the words of people you will fall and remain stagnant. Follow your own heart and fail forward knowing you followed you. At the end of the day you face your death alone so what the hec. Lets run this race called life and run it unapologetically ✌💪. @iamwomanafrica #Gogetter #GodFirst #Spreadpositivity #Femaleentrepreneur #YetIWon #YetIAmstillWinning
